She attempted to remove the bracelet, but her strong grip made it slip from her hand, shattering on the floor.

"Oh no!"

A sharp sound echoed through the room.

The refined bracelet broke into two.

Mitchel gazed at the shattered pieces, feeling a heavy burden in his heart, and an unexpected rage took hold of him.

"Get out!"

Katie, shocked by his sudden fury, stood frozen, At that moment, Luciana walked into the room.

Luciana, witnessing the commotion, walked over and placed her arms around Katie, displaying concern.

“What's wrong, dear?"

Katie felt her sense of injustice grow upon hearing Luciana's gentle words.

Struggling to speak through her tears, she managed to say, "Luciana...

Mitchel insisted I take off the bracelet... And it broke accidentally!"

Luciana, understanding the situation after seeing the broken bracelet, turned to Mitchel with a disapproving look.

“It was only a bracelet.

There's no need for such a reaction."

Feeling deeply wronged, Katie asked through her tears, “How much was the bracelet? I'll pay you back."

Luciana brushed off the idea.

"Don't be ridiculous, my dear. Money shouldn't be a topic between us."

Turning her attention to Mitchel, Luciana admonished, "Mitchel, Katie has just come back and is still jet-lagged. Is this how you welcome a guest?"

Mitchel's face turned icy and detached. He ignored Katie focusing solely on Luciana.
