A Girl Ridicules Her Poor Grandmother for Giving Her a Simple Old Ring, Discards It, and Discovers It Holds a Hidden Secret

Emma and Dylan’s first dance was interrupted when the hotel manager informed Emma that her uninvited grandmother, Martha, was outside with a gift. Reluctantly, Emma went to see her, confronting Martha about past betrayals, including not selling her bakery to save Emma’s father from prison. This refusal led to her father’s imprisonment and death, leaving Emma resentful.

Martha apologized and handed Emma a jewelry box. Angry, Emma dismissed it as worthless, threw it, and discovered an emerald ring and a heartfelt letter. Martha revealed in the letter that she had kept the bakery for Emma and explained her reasons for not helping her father, hinting at his dark past. She also mentioned selling her house for Emma’s future and hinted at a terminal illness.

Realizing the truth too late, Emma rushed to find Martha but discovered she had passed away in a motel the night before. Overcome with grief and regret, Emma screamed, mourning the loss of reconciliation and the depth of misunderstanding between them.
