Chapter 2
Seeing him rambling on, I simply interrupted him directly.
“You were just siblings with her, I know.”
I looked at him with a calm expression on my face, showing no signs of anger.
The coldness on his face was even stronger, and he looked at me with a furrowed brow, his tone. filled with helplessness.
“What are you making a fuss about again?”
“I was busy.”
I gathered all my thoughts back and didn’t look at Nickolas’s expression.
Selena, who was standing by, quickly stepped forward and grabbed Nickolas‘ wrist.
He added fuel and vinegar to his words.
“Catalina, don’t be angry, please don’t argue with Nickolas because of me.”
“Although Nickolas didn’t take you this time, he specially brought you a gift from the seaside.”
After saying that, she turned her head sweetly and looked at Nickolas. “Nickolas, hurry up and show Catalina the gift.”
Nickolas heard and quickly took out a small box from his pocket, opened it, and pushed it toward
- me.
“I bought it specifically for you, open it and take a look.”
He looked very proud, as if I would be grateful for it.
I looked up for a moment.
Inside the box were a pair of simple style earrings with a floral design, adorned with small diamonds around the edges. The petals were made of blue jade, giving them a very fresh and youthful appearance.
But I only took a glance and saw the box in front of me being pushed back.
“No, thank you. I didn’t have a hobby of collecting freebies.”
The atmosphere immediately became tense, and Nickolas was the first to frown.
“Catalina, what did you mean?”
calmly glanced at the jade bracelet worth seven figures on Selena’s hand and looked directly into Nickolas‘ eyes as I spoke.

“Literal meaning, you gave the bracelet to someone else and gave me the gift. Do you think I am only worthy of a present?”
Nickolas probably didn’t expect me to bring up the matter of the gift in person, and for a moment,
he felt a bit embarrassed.
Selena immediately spoke up with a sense of grievance, “Catalina, don’t be angry. This bracelet was given to me by Nickolas because he saw how much I liked it. If you’re really unhappy, I’ll give the , bracelet back to you.”
“You must never argue with Nickolas because of me, It’s not worth it.”
She said so with her mouth, but there was no action in her hands. She just looked at Nickolas with a look of grievance, and tears fell one by one.
Seeing her like this, Nickolas immediately hugged her in his arms and gave me a displeased look.
“Selena, don’t listen to her. Since the bracelet was given to you,
“She used to be so fond of being petty and calculating.”
it’s yours.”
I glanced at them, said nothing, and continued to look at the computer in front of me.
Seeing me like this, the anger in Nickolas‘ eyes was even greater.
I simply hugged Selena and walked out, while passing through the doorway.
He deliberately opened the door forcefully and then stood at the doorway, looking at me.
I knew that he was waiting for me to give in, waiting for me to give him a way out.
It used to be like this every time.
I took the initiative to compromise, only to have him take advantage of it time and time again.
So now, I didn’t even lift my head to look at him.
Instead, the several millions of dollars he spent on buying a bracelet for Selena were included in the property distribution.
Call me like this, Nickolas simply slammed the door shut.
