Ex-husband's Sweet Trap

"Silly girl, this is a gift from grandma. I'm old and probably dying. This bracelet will look better on a young girl like you."

The old lady reached out with a smile and did not let her take it off. She would give her the entire Maynard family wealth if it meant Luz and Logan would stay with Henry. 

"Grandma, but this bracelet is too expensive. I can't take this." She knew her place. 

"Why not? I gave it to you, no takebacks now, or I'll be angry." 

The old lady put on a scowl. Luz had no choice but to give up on the matter. She would give it back to Henry when he gets home later so that he can return it to grandma after she left with Logan.

Beside them, Maddison's eyes were almost red with envy. Mrs Maynard's bracelet was no regular bracelet. It was a priceless antique that was rumoured to have been passed down through royalty in the past. She had hoped that the old lady would pass it down to her, but after years of waiting, she ended up giving it to Luz!

"Mother, youngsters nowadays prefer diamonds, not jade."

She was the legitimate daughter-in-law of the Maynard Family. How could the old lady give the bracelet to Luz?

"Who says that young people don't like jade? Luz, tell me, do you think this bracelet is pretty? Do you like it or not?"

Of course, it was beautiful. How could such an expensive thing be ugly? "Grandma, it's very beautiful. I like it very much."

Since her grandmother gave her the bracelet, Maddison's eyes had been fixed on it. It was obvious that she wanted the bracelet, so Luz was equally adamant to not let her have it.

"I knew my granddaughter-in-law was a good girl who knew her stuff. Otherwise, she wouldn't have married into our family."

Reading between the lines of the old lady's words, she was also praising her grandson indirectly.
