CHAPTER 2 — THE BRACELET THAT SHATTERED THE LIE
The wealthy daughter slammed her hand onto the table.
"Father, throw this girl out immediately!"
Her voice echoed across the dining hall.
But the young woman wasn't looking at her.
Instead, she reached into her coat pocket.
Slowly.
Carefully.
Then she placed an old metal bracelet onto the table.
CLINK.
The sound seemed louder than it should have been.
Every eye turned toward it.
The family crest engraved on the bracelet glimmered beneath the chandelier lights.
The young woman spoke softly.
"Then explain this."
The color drained from the patriarch's face.
The matriarch grabbed the bracelet with trembling hands.
Her breathing stopped.
Her eyes widened.
"No..."
The guests looked from one family member to another.
Confusion turned into fear.
Because the bracelet wasn't a replica.
It wasn't a fake.
It was a lost heirloom that had disappeared decades ago.
And only one bloodline was supposed to possess it.
