Jennie frowned and closed the box. She proceeded to put it back into the bag and returned it to Park Shin-Hye. "This is too expensive."

"No, no, this is nothing! Compared to what I owed you, this is nothing!" Park Shin-Hye hurriedly shook her head with an expression that looked as though she was about to bawl.

She knew that Jennie hated it when people cried and so she held it in. "I owe you so much more. Compared to what I owe you this is truly nothing. I never raised you properly as you were growing up, and I've felt any responsibility toward you. I see you've grown up well, but not due to any of my efforts – I've never done anything for you."

The old principal knew that she was looking for Jennie, hence she looked for her as well and told her everything that Jennie had gone through. Park Shin-Hye always had the feeling that Jennie had a good life, and according to the old principal that treated her so well, she must never have suffered since she was a child. At least it would be better than if she were to live with her. Thus, she felt a slight pain from losing her daughter alongside a pang of guilt, but it was not particularly severe.

Once she heard the old principal's stories, she knew what she had done was wrong. Later on, it was not even because of Huang Changxian blocking her, it was because she could not bring herself to as she was ashamed to face her. The guilt in her heart was hard to swallow, and she constantly held onto it, deepening her sorrow further.

She also did not allow Nam Yeji to disturb Jennie anymore, and even had a quarrel with Nam Yeji about it. At that point, she even had the urge to strike Nam Yeji.

She felt that since she could no longer do much for Jennie, and she had wronged her in the past, then the least she could do now was not cause her any trouble and make her angry.

This was up until Nam Yeji saw the news of Jennie and Lisa getting married. She felt that since she had never done anything for Jennie, she proceeded to take out her savings and went to the mall to pick out the pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets in hopes that Jennie would accept them, and hoping that she would fulfill a small part of her meager duties.

"You're married now, and I can't do anything for you. I've thought about it, and I had no idea what to give you. I then thought about my hometown and this custom. I'm not capable, and not as great as the Manoban Family. I also don't know any powerful people, have no connections and don't have a lot of money. But, I still wanted to do my best. This bracelet... is all that I can offer you. I can't do much, but what I can do, I'll do my best for you. Jennie, I beg you please accept this. Just let... Let me do these small things for you, even just a little bit!"

Jennie felt tears well up in her eyes, and her heart got tender from her words. "Actually, as long as you wish me well, that's enough for me. If you wanted to gift something to me, they don't need to be this much. I understand your intentions, and I've received it. You should leave this pair of bracelets for Nam Yeji. When she gets married, she'll need it as well."

"Are you... Are you unwilling to accept them?" Park Shin-Hye asked in an upset tone.

"No, please don't misunderstand. I've really received your kind intentions, and I know you're not scheming anything. I also know that you really want to do these things for me. I get it, and it's not that I'm rejecting your kind intentions. On the contrary, I've accepted them. However, I know your family's financial circumstances and so I believe this bracelet should be kept until they are more of use to you." Jennie explained softly.

Seeing that Jennie was not rejecting it and had explained everything to her in a soft manner, Park Shin-Hye believed her.

However, she still insisted on giving her the bracelet. "Our family's financial situation is not that bad now, really."
