Sean stared at the bangle. Patricia noticed this and subconsciously retracted her arm. At the same time, she shrieked, “What are you! looking at?”
“The emerald bangle my mother left for me.” Sean gave her an icy
look.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Since you gave it to my daughter, that makes it mine!” Patricia said shamelessly.
Back in the day, Tina had given the bangle to Patricia because she thought it was cheap and old-fashioned. She didn’t want her friends. to laugh at her for wearing it.
At first, Patricia hadn’t thought much of it. She decided to wear it since she didn’t have any other accessories. But after wearing it, she realized there was something special about it. Even as a child, her health had been on the poor side.
But she hadn’t fallen sick after wearing the bangle. How could she possibly return the bangle to Sean now that she knew what it could
do?
Sean’s gaze turned frosty when he saw that Patricia wanted to cla the bangle as hers. “So, you’re not gonna return it to me?”
“Ha! I can’t believe you’re thinking of taking back something that you’ve already given to someone. This is my first time meeting someone as shameless as you!” Patricia looked contemptuous.
“Yes, as shameless as how you guys are pushing all the blame on me despite being in the wrong,” Sean said mockingly.
“What do you mean we’re in the wrong?” Patricia wouldn’t have that.

five allowed my daughter to stay married to a loser like you for
five years; you should be groveling at my feet and thanking me for
that!
“Secondly, I was kind enough not to throw out the dumb bangle that your dead mother left for you. How dare you shamelessly demand I return it?”
“What did you say?” Sean was angry now. No one was allowed to say such things about his mother!
Patricia was scared by Sean’s sudden rage. She’d never seen him so angry, especially since he was usually easygoing and gentle.
“Mom, why’s it so noisy downstairs? Is Tina back?” At this moment, a young man with a crew cut came downstairs. It was Tina’s younger brother, Justin Sullivan.
“Perfect timing, Justin. This loser is trying to break in to steal
something. He even wants me to give him back this bangle I’ve been wearing!” Patricia felt like she had someone to back her up now that
Justin was here.
“Oh, it’s you. You have some nerve coming here after the divorce!” Justin gave Sean a contemptuous look. To him, Sean was nothing but a loser who’d leeched off his sister for five years.
Sean ignored Justin. He stared directly at Patricia. “Give me back mother’s bangle, Patricia. I don’t want a single cent from your fam after the divorce. Similarly, you guys shouldn’t be taking my things
“You don’t want our money? I can’t believe you have the nerve to say that. Do you think Tina would give you anything even if you wanted something? You loser!” Patricia mocked ruthlessly. “As for the bangle, it’s mine now that you’ve given it to Tina!”
“I’ll say this one last time, Patricia. Give me back my mother’s bangle.
I don’t want to cause a scene,” Sean said. His tone was ice-cold.

“Hey, don’t you dare talk to my mother like that!” Justin pointed at Sean without waiting for Patricia to say anything. “Who do you think you are? You’re nothing but one of my sister’s former lapdogs!”
Sean frowned. His gaze was menacing now. Was their whole family
this shameless?
Justin took Sean’s silence to mean that he was scared. He clamored, C’mon, bark for me. Maybe I’ll give you a penny or two if I’m happy
with it!”
Sean still didn’t say anything. Instead, he raised his hand and slapped
Justin in the face.
