Romans & histoires The Family Jewels Book

"Marion bought one from an overseas auction. The ring is from the Nichols family, and the third one is an heirloom of my family." Erica and Randy exchanged glances, shocked. "This gem is too precious. I can't take it," Debra said, trying to return it. Andrew waved his hand. "I gave the gem to Jordan. Who he gives it to is his business. Since you've accepted it, please take good care of it." "Keep it," Marion said, pulling Debra's hand back. "These gems and the missing heirloom of my family are a whole." "You mean each of our families has one?" Erica mused. "The Frazier and the Osborne families don't."

The scene made Rhiannon chuckle and it angered the family of three. “Yours? Which jewel that belongs to me has ever been bought by your mother? Even Dad has never bought me any jewels. All of the jewels that I have are from my mom before she left me while the others are from Aunty. Who the hell told you that my things are yours? Are you my sister so that we can share? After all, I remember that my mm only gave birth to me and that you are a mere bastard,” Rhiannon said coldly and with disgust when she said the last words. “You are just used to taking my things and because I couldn’t protect myself from you and you were always backed by Dad, I let you be but not anymore. You should just rot i

As soon as she unveiled it, the box emitted a brilliant light. "Wow, what beautiful jewelry!" Fiona lovingly took out the contents of the box—a pair of pearl earrings, a navy blue diamond necklace, and a light blue gemstone bracelet. Simona said in a slow voice, "When your father brought Emily back from the beach, she was wearing these pieces of jewelry." Fiona's entire body froze. Although the Parker family was wealthy, the most expensive piece of jewelry she owned didn't cost more than a million dollars. The value of the jewelry set that Emily wore four years ago equaled the entire possessions of her family...

"What did you say? You dare tell me to get out? All this over thirty dollars? "I knew it—I was right about you. You're nothing but a gold-digger! The moment you realized you couldn't squeeze money out of me, your attitude changed. Is money all you see?" Justin shot me a mocking glance and spoke up at just the right moment. "Simon, how can you treat Clairebear like this? She's the young lady of the Musk family, lowering herself to be with someone like you. You should be grateful and think twice about making her angry. Don't you just want money? Fine. I'll give it to you."

"A good wife brings prosperity to generations. A wicked one ruins an entire family. Choose wisely." As the night deepened, the family gathered to keep vigil beside the caskets. Kelly, unwelcome among them, shrank into a corner, her presence tolerated but barely acknowledged. I found her there later. "Zarrick's finished," I told her softly. "And when I leave him, I'll make sure he walks away with nothing. If you're willing to stay with him then, when he's broke and ruined, then maybe—just maybe—I'll believe your love is real."

All her jewelry crumbles to the ground. “Maliyah, please calm down. She had no right to say those things about your sister. I will ensure my father deals with her accordingly." Aspen puts his hand on my shoulder and I look at him through my emerald eyes. “Please Maliyah. Be better than her.” I unwrap the vines from her body making her fall to the ground. Aspen has a look of relief. “What is going on over here,” asks King Bjarki. My parents have arrived as well. I’m probably in trouble.

Ana was always helping her mother around the kitchen or sneaking around to talk to me, and because of this, she barely had friends in the Silver Pack. I open one of the drawers, and I feel my face turning red. Blood roars in my ears, and I hurry to close the bloody drawer. I mutter under my breath before opening another and closing it with the speed of light. At this point, I push back any idea I might have of opening any of the remaining drawers, not wanting to see more of her underwear.

"Didn't your father just get caught out? What was it again? Oh yes… for being a thief. The air changed, and I saw the way Jewel's face hardened, the façade of arrogance flickering on and off for a single beat. "Yes, that's correct," I went on, pretending to realize. "A thieves' dynasty and exploiters. And if memory serves, did he not also pilfer from Jay's earnings? Even the Alpha King needed to confiscate your family's riches." Your whole house without its electricity, your name in the dirt…" I ran out of steam and leaned a little further forward. "So tell me, Jewel. On what planet does a woman carrying all that baggage believe she can sit on top of me? "

I can’t help but grin at the way he’s acting. “Yes. But these boobs belong to me...they’re for my eyes only. I don’t need Julius eye f*****g you...I’m not sure I have the restraint for that...and I’d hate to feel your wrath for killing your contact.” He smirked as he said the last part, telling me that he would enjoy killing Julius and feeling my wrath, the kinky bastard. “Ready?” “Oh, hang on.” I turn quickly and walk over to my jewelry box, retrieving one of the two red bags it held.

It was such disgusting behavior. "Madam..." Gloria suddenly asked excitedly in a hushed tone, "Do the other Jewells know about your pregnancy?" Paige nodded. "They do." Excitedly, Gloria asked, "And what was Neil, Tina, and the others' reaction?" Paige thought for a moment before saying, "Nothing special, really." The Jewells maintained a facade of harmony on the surface. Gloria thought about it and agreed. Big families like the Jewells maintained a facade of peace on the surface, no matter how they might feel about each other in private.
