Look , doesn't it suit me better ? " It was the Ford family heirloom bracelet , the very one Nathaniel's mother had put on my wrist years ago .

" Take it off . You don't have the right to touch it . " Jessica froze , panicking as she realized she might have grabbed something belonging to his first love . She quickly removed it with trembling hands . When Nathaniel caught sight of the piano I cherished most about to be moved , he immediately shouted at the movers to get out . Jessica , assuming Nathaniel had misunderstood her , fell to her knees by his feet , trying to defend herself in a sweet , pleading voice . " Nathaniel , you're mistaken ! I only threw away that wretched woman's things . I've never touched the belongings of your first love . Anyway , that woman never had your favor . From now on , it's just me and your first love in your heart . That wretched woman ... " Before she could finish , a few soldiers pinned her to the ground . Nathaniel coldly wiped the spots she had touched , looking down at her with sheer disdain . " Who gave you the audacity to insult my wife ? Jessica Sinclair , I warned you back then - not to covet what doesn't belong to you . But you've proven not only greedy , but utterly foolish . You really think I didn't investigate the truth to protect you ? If it weren't for the show , I would have thrown you off a cliff long ago . " Facing Nathaniel's cold , mocking black eyes , Jessica's face went pale , her lips trembling as the harsh truth was laid bare . " From start to finish , the only person I ever loved was my wife . My first love is her. People like you don't even deserve to compete with her . " Nathaniel's voice was as cold as ice . With a wave of his hand , he sent Jessica to face her punishment .
