However, everyone in the room was utterly shocked. Especially Ian, who trembled when he asked, "Old Mrs. Graham, did you give the jade bracelet that has been passed down in the family to President Cunningham?"
Leanna gasped in astonishment as well. "Old Mrs. Graham, are you serious? Did you really give it to her?"
Old Mrs. Graham nodded. "Of course! She's my only daughter. Who else should I give it to?"
Everyone looked at each other whereas Leanna looked at Sasha and advised earnestly, "Sasha, Old Mrs. Graham really doted on you. You mustn't ever let her down."
Ian nodded and sighed. "Speaking of the jade bracelet, I thought of Old Mr. Graham. Sigh. Back when my business failed, I got into a debt of over 200 million and I was trapped in a corner. If Old Mr. Graham hadn’t used that jade bracelet as a guarantor for me to make a comeback, I'm afraid that I would've left the world!"
Clank! The spoon fell onto the floor from Helen's hand.
"What happened?" Everyone looked at her. Helen stayed stunned and speechless while James looked frightened.
Leanna asked, "Is there something wrong? Do you need help?"
James came back to his senses and waved his hand repeatedly. "N-Nothing’s wrong. She just accidentally dropped her cutlery. Er... President Lambert, d-did you say that you owed over 200 million?"
Ian nodded. "Yes. My business failed that year."
Overwhelmed with guilt, Sasha mustered all her courage and said softly, "Old Mrs. Graham, I’m sorry but this jade bracelet—''
Sasha planned to reveal the truth but Matthew interrupted her confession, "The jade bracelet is at home. She didn't wear it here because it's priceless. In fact, she didn't dare to wear it anywhere."
Everyone burst into laughter. Well, that was true.
Who would dare to wear a jade bracelet—one that was worth over 300 million-and wandered about in the streets?
Bewildered, Sasha looked at Matthew. What was the point of telling lies in this situation?
