Chapter 282 An Old Dress
My dress was looking familiar?
Jennifer glanced down at the dress she was wearing and suddenly remembered that she had picked it out from Timothy’s closet.
It probably belonged to Timothy’s ex–fiancée.
When Sandy mentioned it, Mary also looked at Jennifer and said, “This dress does look familiar. I think it was a limited edition from a few years ago.
It seemed like Timothy’s ex–fiancée had such a dress too.

Sandy covered her mouth and giggled. “Jennifer, seriously? Is your family that poor? You’re actually wearing an old dress that used to belong to Timothy’s ex.‘
“Sandy, you’re right… I think this dress used to belong to Ashley. Why on earth is Timothy still keeping it?”
Jennifer suddenly felt a bit awkward.
She hadn’t expected their memories to be this good, especially when it came to recognizing an old dress.
But Angelina glared at Mary, snapping, “It’s funny that you can even remember an old dress! But when I asked you to handle something important, you always forgot many details.”

Angelina turned back to Jennifer, her tone softening. “Sweetie, didn’t I buy you plenty of clothes?”
“That’s true, but yesterday Timothy and I stayed at Kinglet Villa, and I didn’t pack any extra clothes. So, I just grabbed whatever was there.”
Angelina immediately brightened. “Oh, right. I completely forgot. That place really should have been cleaned and redecorated earlier.”
But Sandy wasn’t done. In a low voice, she added, “I didn’t expect Timothy to be so sentimental, still holding on to Ashley’s things.”
Angelina was mad. “If you don’t have anything useful to say, then just shut up!

You and your mother both need to watch your mouth!”
It was rare for the old lady to lose her temper.
After all, she hated that woman who left her grandson.
For years, Ashley Parker’s name had been a taboo for the Clark family, as if she had never existed.
Sandy looked like she wanted to talk back, but her mother quickly tugged on her sleeve, stopping her.
It wasn’t worth arguing with Angelina, especially when everyone knew how much she despised Ashley.

Jennifer stood quietly, wishing she had changed into something else before coming here.

Angelina’s gaze softened again as she looked at her. “Jennifer, why don’t you go upstairs and change into something new? These old clothes aren’t worth keeping.
“Just toss them in the trash. Timothy probably forgot all about them anyway. He hasn’t been to Kinglet Villa in years.”
“Got it, Grandma. I’ll go get changed right now.”
As Jennifer headed upstairs, she couldn’t help but recall how Timothy’s secretary had gone out of their way to explain this thing earlier.

It seemed like everyone was worried she might misunderstand and think Timothy still had feelings for his ex–fiancée.
But her own feelings were far more complicated.
After all, she understood better than anyone the true nature of her relationship with Timothy.
Even if he still loved his ex, what right did she have to criticize him for it?
When she reached her room, her
gaze
landed on the pink diamond bracelet glinting in the corner.
She had thought it was lost forever, yet here it was, forgotten and gathering dust.

After a moment of hesitation, Jennifer picked it up and slipped it onto her wrist.
After Jennifer changed her clothes and came downstairs, she noticed that Angelina was no longer around.
Sitting on the sofa was Millie, but her expression looked far from pleasant.
Beside her, Mary wore a smug expression, her tone with sarcasm. “Millie, don’t overthink it.
“I’m sure Timothy just forgot that Ashley’s clothes were still in the Kinglet Villa wardrobe. It’s not like that he still has feelings for Ashley.“–
Years ago, after Timothy’s accident,
Ashley chose to leave him and start a

together, and from then on, her name had become a forbidden topic in the Clark family.
Millie’s face twisted slightly at Mary’s words. She had every reason to despise Ashley.
Ashley and Timothy had been childhood sweethearts. Everyone had thought they were the perfect match.
But after Timothy’s tragic accident left him paralyzed, Ashley had turned her back on him. She even chose to be with Timothy’s good buddy.
That betrayal was humiliation which Millie could never forget.

Jennifer, who had been silently listening from the staircase, walked into the living room with a cool look. “It’s just a dress. What’s the big deal? Do we really need to make such a fuss over it?”
Sandy shot her a mocking smile, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “You’re only saying that because you didn’t know whose dress it was. If you knew it belonged to Ashley, would you still have worn it?”
Jennifer met her gaze without flinching. “I knew exactly whose dress it was.”
Her words hung in the air, and everyone in the room turned to stare at her in
stunned silence.
