That bracelet was my treasure. I had told Henry many times about its origin, and he would always comfort me, promising to protect me and my mother’s keepsake for life.
However, here he was, watching someone smash it to pieces along with the heart that once loved him.
I caressed the fragments and said calmly, “Prepare the necessary report and demand compensation.”
My voice was not loud, but it was enough for the entire hall to hear.
Yvonne’s best friend covered her mouth and laughed as she walked up, patting me on the face.
“Compensation? For what? A couple of bucks?”
She reached into her bag, pulled out two dollars, and tossed the bills at me.
“No need for any official report. Here, have two bucks. That’s enough, right? Or is it too much?”
Ben frowned. “The primary evaluation puts the damage at 120 million dollars.”
“120 million?!” Yvonne’s best friend screamed, her expression quickly shifting to panic. Then, it was drowned out by mocking laughter from the crowd.
“A broken bracelet worth 120 million? What kind of nonsense is this?”

“You even hired actors? At least make it believable!”
“You couldn’t get the mah, so now you’re resorting to extortion?”
“What a cheap trick!”
I had thought Henry, knowing the bracelet’s value, would at least apologize.
However, perhaps his success in the past two years had gone to his head, because he joined the mockery instead.
“Queenie, I know you like me, but my heart belongs to Yvonne.
“One moment, you claim we were supposed to get married, and the next, you’re asking for money.
“You’re vile. Figmi Group wouldn’t tolerate an employee like you.‘
Yvonne nodded in agreement.
“And to think I even wanted Henry to give you a position! You’re shameless. Tomorrow, go to HR and resign.”
The crowd applauded her as if she were delivering a grand speech.
I crossed my arms and looked at them calmly.
“Fine, let’s fire someone, but it won’t be me. It’ll be you, Henry.
“Now, pay for my bracelet.”
At my signal, Ben handed the official certificate to Yvonne’s best friend.
She sneered at me as she took it.
“Still acting, huh? You even bothered to forge the paperwork this well.”
Then, she ripped the certificate to shreds right in front of us.
Ben’s brow furrowed as he displayed his credentials.
“I am the head of Figmi Group’s elite security division. Here is my official ID.”
Yvonne’s best friend, who was about to mock him further, froze when she saw the Figmi logo on his badge.
“The official Figmi logo? Yvonne, did we mess with the wrong person?”
However, Yvonne stepped forward boldly like it was nothing, tore up Ben’s ID, and arrogantly turned to me.
“Lady, the actor you hired is one of Henry’s employees.
“How could his people not recognize their own boss? Claiming to be Figmi Group’s top security team? What a scam!”
I clapped my hands slowly, marveling at Yvonne’s audacity,
She mistook my reaction as helplessness and pouted smugly.
“Lady, you should live honestly. Don’t waste your time on things you can’t have.
“Since this is my wedding, I’ll forgive you this one time.
“Now, leave with your actors!”

I did not understand how Yvonne and Henry had the nerve to oppose me publicly until I saw the stock transfer agreement notification pop up on my phone.
