Chapter 87
Alyssa ended up staying at Stellus for the next three days.
She barely slept as she wanted to craft the perfect emerald bracelet, the exact replica of the one Newton had given her. If she got tired, she'd nap in the workshop. Once she woke up, she'd take a few bites of food before continuing work.
The other men worked their respective jobs during the day. They turned down all business and social invitations just to have dinner with their sister at night.
Jonah and his brothers prepared a fancy dinner that night. It consisted of Alyssa’s favorite dishes. Still, she played with her food moodily while propping her cheek with a hand.
The men were anxious about Alyssa’s current state. But they didn't know how to help her out.
They knew nothing about jewelry, after all.
"Ms. Alyssa.” Alyssa snapped out of her thoughts before turning to look at Don wearily.
The latter placed a beautiful jewelry box in front of her.
“What's this, Uncle Don?”
"Why don't you open it and find out for yourself?”
Alyssa frowned in confusion as she opened the box.
She covered her mouth in shock the next moment. She could only stare at the clear crystal bracelet. It looked beautiful and radiant.
There were minor differences between this bracelet and the one Newton had given her. Still, it resembled the original bracelet.
“My master was the one who crafted this bracelet. It has to be one of his greatest works in life. He originally wanted to give it to Madam as a gift, but he was unable to do so in the end.”
Don heaved a heavy sigh as he spoke.
“Madam? I thought Mr. Fowler was single!” Silas pointed out curiously while chewing on some. meat.
Don shot him a glance. “My master had a crush on Madam back in the day.”
“Oh. I thought Mr. Fowler loved ores more than women,” Axel said jokingly after taking a sip of wine. “Why didn't he give it to her? Was it because he didn't have the guts to do that?”
“My master and Madam had studied the craft under the same master. At that time, he disliked

same roof, he fell in love with her without knowing it.
“After that, Madam got married to another man. My master had made this bracelet with the intention of giving it to her as a wedding gift. He never expected Madam to get into a severe car accident on her wedding day. In the end, she went into a coma. Soon, she passed away.”
The Taylor siblings looked surprised. Sadness soon washed over them.
“From that day onward, my master vowed never to fall in love ever again. He devoted all his feelings for Madam to hardstone carving. For many years afterward, he licked his wounds by focusin “Mr. Fowler knew what true love was. Perhaps none of the men in this world was as loyal and dedicated as he was toward Madam,” Alyssa commented with a sigh. She looked slightly envious. “But his ignorance toward love was the cause of this tragedy, wasn't it? It all came back to bite him in the ass.”
Jonah, Silah, and Alyssa turned around to glare at their brother. Axel stopped speaking instantly before taking another sip from his glass awkwardly
Alyssa felt quite bitter inside.
Even a man as emotionless as Herman could fall in love without realizing it. Even though Alyssa and Jasper were married for three years, he never loved her. Not even once.
Did he ever regret his actions now that she wanted to divorce him?
As if!
If Jasper truly felt remorse, how could he repeatedly humiliate her with harsh words?
If he did regret his actions, why would he side with those mean women and question her integrity? Alyssa and Jasper were now divorced. It meant she was no longer his wife. Because of that, Jasper couldn't be bothered to respect her.
Alyssa chuckled ment*lly before picking up her wine glass and downing the contents. Her throat scol Herman would definitely roll in his grave if he were to find out that she had compared him to a bastard like Jasper.
“Ms. Alyssa, you should take the bracelet. I've compared it to the shattered bracelet. It's the only bracelet that resembles the original one the most.”
Don gazed at Alyssa seriously.

That night, the Taylor siblings said their goodbyes to Don before leaving Stellus together.
Then Rolls-Royce sped in the direction of Solana City
Alyana leaned against Jonah tiredly, her eyes already half-closed. Still, she continued to hug
the jewelry box tightly
“Lyse, I'd like to tell you something Jasper contacted me on the night you returned to Belbanks,” Jon "Oh “Alyssa could feel her heart skipping a beat. Still, she chose to respond casually.
