At that moment, Sean felt utterly defeated.


    He never imagined that the broken bracelet adorning Jasmine’s wrist was a cherished relic from her mother.


    To make matters worse, he had foolishly dismissed it as nothing more than a piece of trash.


    This was a total catastrophe!


    Jasmine had already been distant and unapproachable. He had hoped to use the bracelet to gain her favor, but instead, he had only seeded in digging his own grave.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Now, his standing in Jasmine’s eyes had likely plummeted to an all-time low.


    Meanwhile, Donald stood a short distance away, puzzled as he watched his son lost in thought.


    Hadn’t Sean just approached Jasmine with a gift?


    Surely, she must have been thrilled to receive something so extravagant.


    If that was the case, why did she leave so abruptly?


    With these questions swirling in his mind, Donald walked over to Sean and gently patted him on the shoulder, inquiring, “How did it go with Jasmine?”


    Noticing the diamond bracelet still clutched in Sean’s hand, Donald was taken aback. “Did Jasmine turn down your gift?”


    Sean wore a crestfallen expression as he replied, “Dad, the broken bracelet Jasmine was wearing is actually a precious relic from her mother. I had no idea! I even called it a worthless piece of junk, unworthy of someone of her stature…”


    “Oh no…”


    Donald was equally shocked.


    After a moment, he sighed and said, “Sean! You should have realized that someone like Jasmine would never wear a cheap bracelet without a reason. The fact that she was wearing it indicates it holds significant meaning for her. You really need to be more mindful!”


    With tears welling in his eyes, Sean looked at his father in distress and said, “But Dad, you just told me I was meticulous and focused! How can you now say I’m careless?”


    Flushing slightly, Donald collected his thoughts before responding seriously, “You have indeed shown some improvement in your observational skills, but you need to pay closer attention to details. Learn from this experience to avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future.”


    Sean sighed, “I understand, Dad…”


    Then he added, “By the way, Dad, Jasmine left to pick someone up. She mentioned that this person is the most distinguished guest today. Who could possibly be important enough for the Moore family to take such care?”


    Donald frowned and replied, “I’m not aware of that. To my knowledge, the guests invited to Lord Moore’s birthday celebration are mainly old friends and business associates from Aurous Hill. I didn’t hear anything about any special guests attending.”


    “That’s strange,” Sean remarked. “Do you think she’s going to meet her sweetheart?”


    “I can’t say for sure,” Donald responded. “Just keep an eye out for who Jasmine returns with.”


    “Okay.”


    ***


    At that moment, Jasmine was en route to Charlie’s house.<fnfbba> Find the newest release on find?novel</fnfbba>


    Although she knew she should be helping out at her grandfather’s eightieth birthday celebration, Jasmine couldn’t resist the urge to see Charlie. She decided to pick him up personally so they could enjoy a few moments alone together on the way.


    Once they arrived at the Moore family mansion, there would be no chance for private conversation with all the guests around.


    When Lord Moore learned that Jasmine was going to get Charlie, he readily agreed. Even though Charlie was married, Lord Moore had long viewed him as the future grandson-inw of the Moore family.


    As Jasmine drove, she pulled out her cell phone to call Charlie.


    Being a weekend, the family would likely be sleeping in, so Charlie had only prepared breakfast for them at ten o’clock in the morning.
