Chapter 14 Emerald Bracelet
Everyone turned towards the door when it was opened.
A beautiful girl entered while linking arms with a tall man.
The girl resembled Shane, while the man, standing at least 6 feet tall, was slightly shorter than Shane.
Their facial features were similar to Shane but they were less composed and more carefree compared to Shane.
Chase followed closely behind them.
“Come over and meet Shane’s girlfriend. Rose said happily.
The man looked at Celia in surprise and admiration.
Shane stood up and introduced them. “Celia, this is my uncle.
“Hello, Celia stood up and greeted him respectfully,
“Hey Mark Channing smiled and directed his gaze at Shane,
as if he was asking, when did you get a girlfriend? Why I didn’t know anything about it?
Then Shane pointed to Luna Channing. “Celia, this is my sister, Luna”
“Luna, this is Celia.”

“She’s your fi
future e sister–in–law, Rose added and she turned to Chase, who was standing at the back. “Chase, meet Celia
Chase was at a loss for words. He felt a pang in his heart.
Celia couldn’t help but blush. She felt overwhelmed when Rose told Luna that Celia was her sister–in–law,
Shane and she were just playing pretend.
“Grandma, Celia, and I have just started dating each other. This is her first time here. It isn’t appropriate to introduce her as Luna’s sister–in–law, Shane interjected when he noticed Celia being uncomfortable.
Look at you protecting her. Rose was beaming.
The others joined in the laughter
Chase was the only one who looked grim. He felt complicated
“Celia? Are you part of the Kordale University’s student council?” Luna asked in surprise.
“Yes,” Celia replied.
Luna eagerly went to her and grabbed her hand. “I knew it!
Tm Luna, a second–year student of the Kordale University Faculty of Medicine. I saw you perform at the school event, you were incredible”
Celia felt a pang of regret for not meeting her sooner. “Really? Nice to meet you.”
After they exchanged pleasantries, Luna turned serious. T heard about the recent tragedy in your family. I’m sorry for your loss and the financial difficulties you’re facing. Please take care of yourself”
The people who were unaware of the situation were taken aback by this revelation
They thought that she was one of the socialites in Kordale, turned out that she was a struggling heiress.
“Luna, that’s enough!” Shane stopped Luna from saying anything else and looked at Celia apologetically.

“Are you talking about the Durbans in the south? I read about it online, George, who had been silent until now, said while looking at Celia
“You’re Peter’s daughter, right? 1 had some business deals with him back then. He was a nice, honest and smart businessman.”
“Let’s move on from this topic. Why are you bringing up Celia’s sad memories” Rose sternly glanced at the and pulled Celia to sit beside her once again.
“Celia, the past is the past. You are Shane’s girlfriend, and you will be part of the Channings soon. Tell him about your difficulties and hell help you out.”
Then Rose removed her emerald bracelet and put it on Celias wrist.
“Celia. I’ve worn this emerald bracelet for many years. It’s my gift for you on our first meeting”
Rose had planned this. If Shane brought a woman home today, she would give her the bracelet as a sign of approval
The emerald bracelet was valuable and had exceptional quality. Originally a pair. the other one was given to Shane’s mother. indicating that only the lady of the house was worthy of it.
Jennie had been eyeing this bracelet for years, but Rose had never given it to her.
Sally had no chance of receiving it because she was married. However, she couldnt help but feel jealous
“This gift is too precious. I can’t take it.”
Celia was taken aback and she attempted to remove it, but Rose pressed her hand down
“Celia, it’s just an object to me. I don’t care about its value. What matters is its significance. I like you, which is why I’m giving it to you. You wouldn’t embarrass me, right?”
“1…” Celiaxi was at a loss, she looked to Shane for help. You should accept it since its a gift from Grandma”
Celia had no choice but to keep wearing it. “Thank you very much.”
Rose nodded in satisfaction, then she looked at the other unmarried individuals in the room.
“Chase, Luna, I will also give your significant other a gift when you bring them home”
Suddenly, she recalled something and stared at Chase. “Chase, your mother told me that you got yourself a girlfriend recently, why didn’t you bring her along?”
Chase’s heart skipped a beat and he took a glance at Celia. “She she’s on a business trip and couldn’t make it back today”
He was regretting it. If it wasn’t for Samantha seducing him. Celia would be standing by his side now.
But, he could only watch his girlfriend of three years stand beside another man.
“Alright. Bring her to visit me next time.”
“Sure.”
Then, Rose looked at Mark. His expression darkened instantly
Mark felt uneasy. “Mom, why are you looking at me like that?
“I haven’t said a word, what did I do to upset you again?”
“Don’t play dumb, now that Shane is already in a relationship. You haven’t shown any signs of settling down as his uncle. Do you want to stay single forever?” Rose was getting angrier.
