Chapter 146 The Broken Bracelet Doesn’t Match My Milly
Could it be that Jonathan, just like George and Anthony, has completely fallen under Milly’s spell, showering her with affection?
No way! Absolutely not!
Having already lost the love and attention of George and Anthony, Stephanie couldn’t bear the thought of losing Jonathan too.
The intense feeling of crisis washed over her, draining the colour from her face. She bit her lip. suppressing her emotions, and stepped forward pitifully. “Jonathan, I need to talk to you.
Hearing her voice, Jonathan was instantly reminded of his previous life where she had taken the money and lived freely overseas. His expression turned stern, and he looked at Stephanie with a chilling gaze.
“What’s the matter?”
Even though Stephanie was mentally prepared, she still shivered under his gaze. T… Jonathan, can we talk somewhere else?”
After saying that, she deliberately glanced at Milly, making her intention clear.
She didn’t want Milly to hear their conversation.
However, Jonathan ignored her trick. Seeing Stephanie dare to roll her eyes at his sister, he almost rolled

He added inwardly, don’t waste my time alone with my sister.
Milly crossed her arms and watched with amusement. This was her lounge, after all. Even if Jonathan asked her to leave, she would refuse.
Stephanie bit her lip harder, not expecting Jonathan to be so blunt.
But her strong pride wouldn’t let her retreat so easily.
Gathering her courage, she spoke as if she suffered a great grievance, Jonathan, could you talk to Milly and get back the bracelet you gave me? I like it, but she took it…
Milly lifted an eyebrow.
Oh, she’s waiting for me here.
She had anticipated Stephanie’s grudge and her reliance on the Burnetts as her backing. She just hadn’t expected this drama to unfold so quickly.
Jonathan was momentarily stunned, and he didn’t respond.
“What bracelet?”
Jonathan’s sharp question brought Stephanie a glimmer of hope. If he was asking her, it meant he still cared.

bracelet. You had it custom–made for me overseas. I like it, but Milly seems to like it too…
Her hesitant tone and broken sentences were perfectly timed to paint Milly as a bully who had taken her beloved bracelet.
As expected, Jonathan’s brow furrowed as he looked at Milly, his voice stiff. “Do you like this bracelet?”
Milly smiled serenely. “Hmm, it’s not bad.”
In truth, she had no interest in keeping trinkets. She was merely amused by how much it annoyed Stephanie.
Her elder brother had already given her two boxes of jewellery, any piece of which could outshine this bracelet. She could wear a different one every day for years without repeating.
Hearing her answer, Jonathan became anxious. “You shouldn’t want that bracelet!”
Milly’s smile faded slightly after hearing this sentence. She slowly became a little alienated.
No wonder the author had penned her as the pampered favourite. No matter what she did, there was always someone foolishly rushing to defend her.
But she wasn’t going to play along this time.
“Stephanie gave it to me, everyone here knows that. Once something is given, it’s mine. If it’s mine, I don’t want to give it back, is there anything wrong?”
Jonathan snorted. “Milly, be good, let’s not keep that bracelet!” he insisted.
Stephanie’s mood lifted immediately. Her earlier gloom, caused by Jonathan’s coldness, vanished.
Jonathan is still helping me to speak, which proves that he still cares about me!
She knew that her brothers had been with her for so long and loved her so much. How could this kind of affection just disappear?
Regaining her usual arrogance, she looked at Milly. “Milly, I love that bracelet. Could you return it for Jonathan’s sake? I’ll get you a limited edition bracelet from DearD brand instead.”
Her pretense was so nauseating that even Joy, standing nearby, almost gagged.
Not long ago, Stephanie had skillfully twisted the truth against them. Now, she feigned deep concern. She’s so shameless.
Milly watched her fluster with a cold smirk. “And what if I say no?”
“You! How can you do this, Milly?7
Stephanie’s eyes reddened instantly, tears welling up and spilling over in large drops, making her look miserable beyond measure.
As soon as Jonathan, glanced/her way, she met his gaze with teary eyes full of accusation and hurt.
She was confident he’d take her side once he saw her in such distress.

Unexpectedly, to her shock, Jonathan merely gave her a nonchalant look.
Then, turning to Milly, he beamed and said. “Alright then, it’s just a broken bracelet. It’s nothing special. If you want it, keep it.”
Both Stephanie and Milly stood frozen in surprise.
Jonathan added, “Milly, the reason I didn’t want you to have it is because that bracelet doesn’t suit you. I bought it when I was broke, just a trinket worth a mere hundred thousand dollars at best. Such a cheap. low–quality gem doesn’t suit you.”
“Let me tell you, I’m rich now. I’ll get you high–grade gemstones, the large dazzling ones. Anything less than 1.5 million isn’t worthy for you to wear.
“By the way, I was in Yasgar recently for a film shoot. The royal jeweller there has a ruby that the Queen. used to wear. It’s got an exceptional colour. I’ll buy it and have it made into a bracelet for you!”
Milly was speechless.
Generally, gems of such calibre have immense collectable value and are rarely used practically, in fact, cutting them into jewellery would diminish their worth.
This guy was talking about making a bracelet out of it?
What a waste!
Meanwhile, Jonathan was still excitedly discussing where to find the best gemstones, eager to get them for her the next second.
Milly pinched the bridge of her nose. At that moment, she finally understood why her business–savvy eldest brother hadn’t yet managed to revive the Burnetts‘ fortunes. It was because of this extravagant spender!
In their animated conversation, they completely forgot about Stephanie, who still stood there, dumbfounded.
