“I thought you wanted me to help you? If so, shouldn’t you be beseeching at least?”
“You want me to beseech you? You’re my daughter, and I’m your father! Yet, you want me to beseech you?” Livid, Roland slammed his hand on the table.
“Okay, then. Let’s not talk about this, okay? As long as you give me the other bracelet, I promise to inject capital into the company and revive it from certain death.”
Upon hearing the word ‘bracelet’, Roland’s expression abruptly changed. “You’ve already got the bracelet, so why are you still asking me for it?” His expression was a tad sketchy.
“As I said, I’ve only gotten one. Where’s the other one? My mother has been appearing in my dreams, urging me to get her bracelets back. They were her beloved pieces, after all. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten about it?” Selena looked at him with a challenging expression on her face. I just can’t wait to see how he’s going to answer.
Recalling the past bitterly, Roland finally lifted his head. “I’ve sold that bracelet.”

“Back then, the company was in dire need of capital turnover, so I had no choice but to sell off the bracelet. When I established the company years ago, didn’t your mother sell one of the bracelets to raise money for me? Therefore, if she were still alive, she’d likewise sell the bracelet to help me with the turnover when the incident back then transpired.”
As Selena stared at Roland, only the word ‘shameless’ remained in her mind. “So, you can do whatever you want just because my mother loved you?”
Roland’s mouth parted slightly, yet he couldn’t quite answer that. “Selena, why do you keep bringing your mother up when she has been gone for so many years? Can’t you just let this go after so long? Yes, I wronged your mother back then, but I’m still your father. It has been decades, so why must you still—”
