Chapter 74 – Divorced! Now What to Do?

Granny Morrison got up and grabbed Cynthal’s hand. “She must have been afraid to disappoint me, so she did not tell me about the calling off of the engagement. She even prepared a set of jewelry worth more than 10 million for me as a gift.

“How would I have thought about them canceling their engagement? Cynthal still prepared a gift for me even if she knew her engagement with Brettley was called off.“

Granny Morrison smiled and grabbed Cynthal’s hand. “ This child is too obedient, kind, and understanding Cynthal’s hand was being held tightly by Granny Morrison, she could only awkwardly force a smile.

Bloody hell. This old woman was cunning. Cynthal has already said that she would only give her the set of jewelry as a gift after everything was settled.

Now that Brettley has ruined everything, she was still eyeing the jewelry.

Granny Morrison might be praising Cynthal on the surface, but she was actually forcing Cynthal to hand the jewelry over!

“Cynthal.“ Granny Morrison turned to the side and smiled at Cynthal. “Come, bring out the jewelry and show everyone.“

On stage, Cynthal looked at everyone looking at her. Looking at Granny Morrison’s hopeful eyes, she could not help but secretly roll her eyes at her.

Luckily, she only paid some money to Malcolm previously for the fake ones. If she were to have gotten the real set, she would have been openly robbed by the old woman!

At that thought, Cynthal smiled pretentiously at Granny Morrison. “Granny, what are you saying? Of course, I’ll keep my word. Even if Brettley calls off the marriage, we’re splitting up amicably. There is no contention, also…“

Cynthal smiled and looked at Nellie. “Even if the engagement is called off, we’re still relatives. You have taken care of me for the past five years. It’s only right that I give you this.“

Then, she turned to look at her assistant far away. “ Bring me my gift.“

Under the singing praises of the crowd, Cynthal took over the box from her assistant. She gracefully opened the box and showed it to everyone.

“This set of jewelry is designed by a world -famous jewelry designer, Y. As you all know, Y recently announced his retirement not long ago. Stargazing is his final magnum opus.“

Cynthal arrogantly lifted her head. She smiled and introduced it to everyone. “After Y retired, the prices of his designs rose exponentially. I asked someone to look for this set of jewelry abroad for a long time before I could get it at a high price.“

The stage lights were all focused on the jewelry in Cynthal’s hands. The diamonds sparkled and the platinum chain was accompanied by sapphires.

Coupled with the designer’s brilliant ingenuity, the set of jewelry was so beautiful that the crowd was in awe.

“Gorgeous! How generous of Ms. Peterson! “

“I can see that Ms. Peterson is a grateful person. Even i f Brettley called off the marriage, she still gave Granny Morrison such a gorgeous gift.“

“I heard that this set of jewelry is at least a million dollars, close to ten million! Ms. Peterson really treats Granny Morrison as her own family! “

“What a pity they had to call off the engagement. I doubt that Ms. Peterson’s sister could compare to her! “

The discussion among the crowd was intense. Everyone said their piece.

Granny was so excited looking at the jewelry she could no longer move on stage.

She thought that if Brettley and Cynthal’s engagement was called off, she would not be able to get her hands on the jewelry anymore!

Who knew that Cynthal, who was usually petty and calculative, would be so generous at that moment!

Granny Morrison could not hide the excitement in her heart. She immediately walked over and held the jewelry in her hands.

“Cynthal, how thoughtful of you. How thoughtful! I never thought that at such an old age, I could still… “

“But…“

Before Granny Morrison could finish her sentence, a little girl’s adorable voice rang through. “But, Great- Granny, the set of jewelry in your hands is a fake! “

At Nellie’s words, the venue was instantly silent. Everyone looked at the girl in Brettley’s arms.

Granny Morrison, who was still excited, jolted a little.

She furrowed her brows and looked at Nellie.

“It’s fake?“

Cynthal rolled her eyes at Nellie. “I acquired this with a high price. How could this be fake?“

Then, she fiercely glared at Nellie. “Little children should not simply tell lies.“

Nellie blinked her round, watery eyes at Cynthal. “I ‘m not lying. The set of jewelry you have is indeed a fake one.“

Brettley, next to Nellie, frowned. He lowered his head and looked at Nellie, who had determined eyes.

“Nellie, how do you know that it’s a fake?“

“Because…“ Nellie blinked. “Because the real Stargazing…“ Nellie pursed her lips and looked at Brettley timidly, “I designed them.“

Nellie’s words caused a huge uproar among the crowd.

Some laughed, some mocked, some were shocked.

On stage, Cynthal could not help but snicker. “Nellie, has your mom never taught you not to lie? You were the one who designed the Stargazing? Tell me. How old are you? Have you ever seen a design sketch before? Do you even know how to sketch? You dare to say that you designed them?”

Cynthal harrumphed coldly. Her eyes were filled with condescension. “It looks like your mother has never taught you manners. You even know how to lie.”

Cynthal’s words were too harsh. Brettley furrowed his brows and hugged Nellie in his arms. He asked softly, “What is going on?”

Brettley trusted that his daughter would never lie.

But…

A six-year-old who could design such a beautiful set of jewelry was too unbelievable.

“I designed them.“ Nellie nodded seriously. She pushed Brettley away and jumped down from the sofa.

“Aunty! “ Bethan responded and immediately got up. She walked over to Nellie with Nellie’s little bag.

Brettley looked at Bethan. He wanted to say something but held back.

“I also brought a jewelry design of my own to give to the Great-Granny.“ Nellie fished around in her bag. She smiled and looked at Granny Morrison. “But, Aunt Cynthal has given the Stargazing to Great-Granny, so I could no longer give you that.“

Then, she took a box out of her bag. Nellie opened the box.

A set of gorgeous jewelry was in it.

The design, pattern, and even the color of the gemstones were almost a replica of the one in Granny Morrison’s hands.

Clearly, the one in Nellie’s hands was even more beautiful.

Nellie placed the jewelry in Bethan’s hands. Then, she reached into her bag and got a few sketches out. “I brought a few sketches here. I don’t know whether you could understand them or not, Aunt Cynthal. This should be too professional for you.“

Her words made Cynthal blushed, then turned pale. Cynthal gritted her teeth. “Impossible! “

The set of jewelry was designed by Y, a famous jewelry designer. How could Y be a little six-year-old girl?

“It looks like Aunt Cynthal doesn’t understand the sketches.“ Nellie sighed. She turned to look at Brettley and said, “Daddy, can you find a professional jewelry designer here? One that could immediately understand my design concept at one glance.“

Brettley immediately instructed his men. “Go and find one.“

“Yes.“

“Let me do it.“

Before Lucas could exit the venue, a man’s voice rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man with a head of silver hair.

This man looked a lot like Brettley, but he was at least so years old.
