"Sure, Dad. All I want are my mother's jade bracelets. I'll help you as long as you give them back to me."
There was a shift in Roland's countenance upon hearing her mention the bracelets.
"Why must you insist on bringing them up? They're worth nothing anyway. Besides, you aren't even in desperate need of money."
Staring at him seriously, Selena asked, "Do you only ever care about money?" Her question rendered him speechless.
"I already asked for them when I last saw you. I don't care even if they're worth nothing. I want them because they belonged to my mother. Since you agreed to help me find them, I'll help you as soon as I get them back." After repeating herself, Selena turned away to continue going through her documents.
