Grace was choked by the question, "I, I..."
Madam White didn't wait for her to answer, continuing, "If you had really given this bracelet as a congratulatory gift to Amelia, I wouldn't blame you. But you shouldn't use the gift I gave you to scheme, and scheme against my granddaughter none the less!"
Although Madam White's voice wasn't loud, it gave Grace goosebumps.
"Grandma, I didn't..."
Before she could finish her explanation, Madam White interrupted, "I can't accept that, Miss Johnson. Your cunning and deep calculation are too much to bear for the Whites. Your marriage to Benjamin is off."
This time, before Grace could speak, Benjamin became anxious. "Grandma, what are you talking about? Grace just passed on the bracelet you gave her to Amelia. Is that why you think she can't become a part of the Whites? It's not such a big deal; do you really need to break us up over this? I don't agree."
Grace was stunned, and it took her a while to recover.
Was this... a breakup?
