Chapter 11
Early the next morning, sets of high–end custom clothes were delivered to Julian’s penthouse apartment.
His assistant had never seen the Reid heir take anything so seriously before.
Just choosing and trying on clothes took several hours.
It was even more elaborate than a wedding preparation.
Once the outfit was decided, Julian took a golden nanmu wood box from his safe.
Just the antique gold–inlaid box alone was worth millions.
Rumor had it that he had specially bought it at an auction to store a piece of jewelry.
How precious must that jewelry be?
When the box opened, Julian took out a sapphire bracelet.
A sapphire bracelet?
The assistant was puzzled…
He was experienced enough to know this bracelet was worth at most a few hundred thousand dollars.
Julian played with the sapphire bracelet in his hands.
Ten years ago today, his stepbrother and his gang had cornered him in an alley, intending to break his limbs, cut his tendons, and leave him crippled.
It was that thin, frail young girl who stepped forward and used her clever wit to scare them away.
Before they parted, the girl gave him this bracelet.
It was a sun–and–moon design–his was the sapphire sun bracelet, and the girl had kept the ruby moon bracelet.

Combined, they would form a ruby–sapphire heart bangle.
That day, if she hadn’t saved him at the crucial moment, his limbs would have been broken, and he would have been crippled.
He asked what she wanted in return.
But she just said: “You’re so handsome, why don’t you marry me?”
He knew she was joking, but he remembered it.
However, he had suffered a severe blow to his head that day, causing a concussion that made it impossible to see faces clearly in the dark alley or talk much.
So he had searched for her for many years, returning to their meeting place every year on that day.
Three years ago, he was attacked again in the same place and encountered Katie.
He still remembered clearly that Katie had sat in her car like a mere observer.
He was sure that if he hadn’t matched her taste in looks, she wouldn’t even have gotten out of the
car, let alone saved him.
Katie was different from that little girl.
Katie’s heart was too dark, unlike the sunshine brightness of the little girl.
Because of that life–saving favor, he had been trapped by her side for three years.
But because of this, he had the opportunity to find the person he had been searching for ten years.
He saw Aria at the Shred family banquet.
With just one glance, he recognized that bracelet.
“Send this to the Shred house.”
He had finally found the bracelet’s owner. Seeing the bracelet, Aria should know who he was, right?
The assistant respectfully accepted the bracelet.
As he was leaving, Julian added: “Also send over the top ten jewelry pieces from Reid Jewelers this

year, let her choose whatever she likes.”
In less than an hour, the jewelry was delivered to the Shred house.
Alex and Linda only now fully realized that their precious baby had truly secured a connection with the Reid family!
They were jubilant, ecstatic with joy.
Only Alex’s brother watched everything silently like an outsider.
When eleven pieces of jewelry were laid out before Aria, he immediately recognized the sapphire
bracelet.
Suddenly he understood everything, but he didn’t alert Aria or tell anyone about the bracelet’s
significance.
Aria was absolutely dazzled by the premium jewelry.
Each piece was worth millions. Though the Shred family was wealthy, she had never worn such
expensive accessories.
Her hand hovered over the ten precious pieces, reluctant to choose just one.
As for the sapphire bracelet, she couldn’t even be bothered to glance at it.
Although the assistant didn’t understand the significance of the sapphire bracelet, he knew that Mr.
Reid had treasured it deeply and must have had a purpose in sending it.
He couldn’t help but prompt, “Miss Shred, you don’t like the sapphire bracelet?”
Aria raised an eyebrow, somewhat displeased.
What was this assistant implying?
Did he look down on her?
Did he think someone of her status was only suitable for a sapphire bracelet worth just a few
hundred thousand, not presentable enough for high society?
Once she became Mrs. Reid, she would definitely have this assistant fired.

But soon she noticed something strange.
Among ten exquisite pieces of jewelry, there was one obviously lower–valued sapphire bracelet. Could the Reid heir be testing her?
But finally, she smiled, “I can’t accept gifts without earning them. Please take all these back. What I’m wearing now is just fine.”
She dangled the ruby bracelet on her wrist.
When Julian received the news, he was momentarily stunned. “You’re saying she didn’t choose the sapphire bracelet?”
It wasn’t just that she didn’t choose it–she barely even looked at it.
But the assistant kept this observation to himself.
Mr. Reid was so protective of Aria, and he didn’t want to face retaliation for one careless comment. Katie’s situation was warning enough!
“Miss Shred said she couldn’t accept gifts without earning them. She said the ruby bracelet she’s wearing now is good enough!”
So that was it.
Julian picked up the sapphire bracelet, feeling strange.
How could she not recognize it?
ps it had been too long ago, and she had forgotten?
