Patricia’s lips twitched, “Your stuff… back to you.”
However, just as Paulette reached out to grab it, Patricia slyly moved her hand to the side a bit, and the jewelry box slipped from her hand, falling to the ground with a loud thud.
“Oh, why didn’t you hold on tight, Paula?”
She blinked innocently, “I fell.”
Paulette’s heart stopped for two seconds, and her outstretched hand was still hanging in the air.
She fell… that was the only thing her mother left her!
Paulette slowly curled her fingers, squatted down, and carefully picked up the jewelry box on the ground. She opened it – the beautiful jade pendant was broken into three pieces, with a crack right in the middle of the smiling face.
Tears fell one by one, she didn’t say a word.
Patricia looked down on the scene with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.
“Paulette, you said you cherished this jade pendant, right? Why can’t you hold it steady? What should we do now… You don’t even have the last bit of your mother’s legacy…”

No sooner had the words fallen, the girl squatting on the ground suddenly stood up.
A loud slap landed squarely on Patricia’s face.
Patricia was caught off guard and slapped to the side. She covered her
face and turned incredulously, “How dare you hit me?”
“Who else do you need to report to after I hit you?”
Paulette’s eyes were bloodshot, but there were no tears left.
She stared at Patricia coldly and said, “This is the last time. If you provoke me again, I’ll make you feel whether those people were right about me being arrogant.”
Want Nelson, take it.
But Patricia should never, ever have used what her mother left behind to
provoke her.
Paulette clenched the jewelry box in her hand as she passed by Patricia.
Stopped suddenly.
Patricia reflexively dodged.
Paulette mocked, “Patricia, do you know what you look like right now? Can’t even figure out a simple trick, it’s embarrassing for a woman. If I were a man, I’d rather rely on my own hands than be with you.”
This is probably the biggest insult to a woman.
Patricia stood there for a long time, and when she finally realized, Paulette was already gone.
That crazy person…! Is she out of her mind!

Paulette changed her clothes, and the thought of Patricia going to Nelson to complain made her bad mood even worse.
She just texted Maxine saying she wanted to go out for a walk, and then she left with the broken jade pendant in hand.
I asked several large jewelry stores in the mall, they all said they couldn’t repair it.
“A jade like this, even if repaired, won’t look the same as before. Why not turn it into a bracelet, miss? This we can do.”
“Sorry, the value of this jade is too high, we dare not accept it.”
“Miss, you’d better try another store…”
After going around in circles, Paulette completely lost confidence.
She stood at the street corner, suddenly feeling lost and unsure of where
to go.
Mom… What should I do?
Can’t this jade pendant really be fixed?
At a low ebb, the phone rang.
Paulette carefully put the jade pendant into her bag, and then she took out her phone only to find a message from Jeremiah asking her what she was doing.
She sniffed and immediately called back the missed voice call.
did nothing, just blankly staring on the street.”
The crisp sound seemed to be filled with grievances, Jeremiah immediately heard it, “Are you daydreaming or crying?”

Paulette subconsciously wiped her eyes and muttered, “I didn’t cry.”
“Well, she didn’t cry. Paulette was the bravest kid.”

The other end of the phone was quiet, Paulette suddenly said, “It should be midnight there, right? Why aren’t you asleep yet?”
Jeremiah paused for two seconds, sighed lightly, and said, “Can’t sleep, huh.”
“What’s wrong? Can’t sleep?”
“Quantum entanglement was too intense, felt Ms. Davenport wasn’t too happy, so couldn’t sleep.”
Paulette, although used to his smooth talk, couldn’t help but smile, “I was pretty upset earlier, but I’m feeling much better now. You’re right, nothing can bring me down.”
“Isn’t it just that the jade pendant broke? Just find a repairman to fix it, if you can’t find one, I’ll just learn it myself, anyway, I’m pretty good at learning…”
Listening to the confident voice on the phone, Jeremiah couldn’t help but smile.
The assistant walked in and said, “Mr. Swanson, we…
…
He raised a finger to his lips and said gently to the phone, “Hmm, there’s no real difficulty that can’t be overcome if you focus and stay calm.”
Paulette: “I got this!”
“Have you eaten?”
