?Chapter 108:


    Overwhelmed and unsure of what to say, Rosanna simply ignored them all. For now, she decided to wait for the official investigation to clear their name. Once that happened, she’d have thestugh.


    While she absentmindedly flicked through post after post, one headline jumped out at her, snapping her awake:


    “Mysterious Tycoon Offers One Hundred and Fifty Million Dors for a Jade Green Bracelet.”


    A photo apanied the article, showing a bracelet that looked exactly like the one Vicki had left behind.


    Scrolling through thements, she sawizens losing their minds.


    “Holy crap! What kind of bracelet is this? 150 million dors? Either I know nothing about antiques, or the rich have officially gone crazy!”


    “It’s not even 150 million anymore. Two tycoons are fighting for it. The price is skyrocketing.”


    “Imagine owning that thing. You would be rich beyond your wildest dreams. Over 150 million now! Your kids and grandkids would never need to work.”


    “Why can’t something like this happen to me…”


    With her heart pounding, Rosanna quickly followed the trail to a forum buzzing with live updates.


    Right before her eyes, the bidding war unfolded.


    Thetest post read: “New bid! Two hundred million dors!”


    Barely ten minutes passed before another notification popped up. “The bid has just jumped again. It’s now at two hundred and twenty million dors!”


    The number mmed into Rosanna like a blow. Her vision blurred, and her head reeled in disbelief.


    Your imagination takes flight on g?lnσν???s


    Could that bracelet truly be worth such an outrageous amount? Her mind shed back to Maia’s offhandedment at the hospital earlier that day. With two tycoons now locked in a bidding war, there was no question left. It had to be a priceless antique.


    Excitement lit up Rosanna’s face, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t hide it. Her hands trembled, too restless to stay still.


    More than 200 million… and the price was still rising. If she got her hands back on that bracelet, she’d be set for life.


    Helping the Morgan family out of their crisis with the money wasn’t even on her radar. After all, she had her own ns — to leverage this situation to expedite her marriage to Vince. With the Ward family stepping in, the Morgans would recover easily, without any need for her to sacrifice anything.


    Meanwhile, across town, Jarrod stumbled upon the viral post about the bracelet.


    Without wasting a second, he dialed Rosanna’s number. “Rosanna, you have to check this out! Someone is offering a fortune for a bracelet that looks exactly like the one Grandma left behind!”


    In truth, only Rosanna and Jarrod had seen the bracelet up close. Sandra and Richard had no idea it even existed.


    Rosanna gasped in fake amazement. “Oh my gosh, it really does look the same!”


    Frustration exploded through Jarrod as he pped his thigh. “Damn it! How could you sell it? With over 200 million dors, we could’ve pulled the Morgan family out of this!”


    Tears welled up in Rosanna’s eyes, and she made sure her voice quivered as she spoke. “I’m so sorry, Jarrod… I had no idea it was worth that much. I was careless, and now the Morgans have missed the one chance we had to survive. I guess… luck just isn’t on my side.”


    Her apologetic and remorseful tone instantly softened Jarrod’s heart.


    “Forget it. It’s not your fault. I saw the bracelet too, and I didn’t know it was worth anything either. What’s done is done. Just don’t tell Dad or Mom. If they find out, they’ll lose their minds. Understand?”
