Chapter 854 I Can Buy the Bracelet Back
After Helin and Eleanor had taken a turn around the venue, the melodious music began to play, and everyone started making their way to the dance floor. Joe turned to Charlotte with a questioning look, “Would you be interested in dancing?” Charlotte hesitated for a moment but eventually placed her hand in his. They began to dance gracefully to the rhythm of the music. Despite not having danced together since her amnesia, they displayed an astonishing harmony. Like playing the piano, Charlotte gradually regained muscle memory, and her movements became fluid and natural. At certain intimate steps in their dance, they would exchange smiles. Upon witnessing their dance, even strangers who had never met them would probably commend them as a natural pair. While not far away, Helin watched this scene unfold, and her heart was almost filled with bitterness.
“I advise you to give up those unrealistic thoughts,” Eleanor followed Helin’s gaze all the way, sneering softly. From the very beginning, he knew that his relationship with Helin was just a marriage of convenience on the surface, without any real feelings and no prospect of developing any. He wouldn’t even care about what kind of life Helin would lead in the future. But since their families had already entered this alliance, they were now bound. He could allow Helin to relax, but he couldn’t allow her to do something foolish that would jeopardize both families. Helin understood his meaning and glared at him fiercely. “Haven’t you pursued Charlotte before? And you were warned off by Joe.”
Eleanor made no effort to conceal his intentions. “Isn’t it normal to be attracted to a beauty? But I know when not to be foolish. I was just giving you a heads-up.” Helin had enough of his attitude and simply let go of Eleanor’s hand, using the excuse of going to the restroom to leave on her own. Eleanor didn’t mind and retreated to the side of the dance floor, his gaze subtly fixated on Charlotte. Although he couldn’t have the beauty for himself, it was still nice to admire from afar. As the music ended, Charlotte also headed to the restroom, coincidentally crossing paths with Helin. Charlotte didn’t acknowledge Helin’s presence, simply touching up her makeup before preparing to leave. When had Helin ever been so blatantly ignored? She instinctively reached out and grabbed Charlotte. “How dare you to treat me like this?” Charlotte turned coldly to look at her. “I don’t think there’s anything worth talking about between us.” Her gaze fell on Helin’s wrist, her brow furrowing. “The previous incident was indeed a misunderstanding, but the bracelet that scammer gave you should be genuine. If you don’t mind, I can buy the bracelet back.” Charlotte’s tone was gentle, but to Helin, it seemed like a provocation. She furrowed her brow tightly. “You!” Helin covered the bracelet on her wrist. “You’re dreaming! Even if my bracelet were shattered, I wouldn’t give it to you!” Seeing that she was unwilling to agree, Charlotte didn’t force the issue and nodded before heading out. Little did she know that this action further infuriated Helin. She bit her lip fiercely, then forcefully slammed her wrist on the marble countertop.
A crisp sound rang out, and the emerald-green jade bracelet immediately split into several pieces, lying alone on the ground. Charlotte looked at Helin in shock. “Are you crazy? You clearly knew what this was, and you smashed it!” But Helin coldly sneered, “I didn’t smash it. Aren’t you the one who used force?”
