Shannon nodded and was just about to lower her head to slice the vegetables when she suddenly remembered something.
She looked at Elena for a full minute.
I asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Shannon frowned. "Why does the necklace around Elena’s neck look so familiar? I have a feeling that I’ve seen it somewhere before."
I followed her gaze and saw that the necklace around Elena’s neck was precisely the one that Mr. Collins gave her today.
Shannon put down the kitchen knife in her hand and got up to walk toward Elena. After taking a few steps, she suddenly turned around and rushed back to grab the knife. She then walked toward Elena again and said, "I must have been too nice to her. I've put up with her trying to seduce my bestie's husband but she has even tricked my grandpa into giving her my grandmother's necklace.”
When I saw her coming back to grab the knife, I was so shocked that I quickly went up to her. "Calm down, Shannon. Your grandpa gave that necklace to Theo's wife. Theo tacitly assented to Elena being his wife. That’s why he's allowing her to wear i t. Come back with me."
“Stay out of my way .”
Shannon was truly angry now. "My grandpa may lack mental clarity but not m e. First of all, Theo will never be with Elena. Secondly, if she was really Theo's wife, then she can take the necklace and I wouldn't care, but she isn’t. She’s just a mistress who’s trying to seduce someone else's husband. She's just humiliating my grandma by wearing her necklace."
She continued after a pause, saying, "My grandpa intended to give this necklace to Theo’s wife, yet she’s impersonating her, which also means she's lying to my grandpa. I won’t forgive her."
After saying that, she rushed up to Theo and Elena.
I looked at her with a worried expression, not knowing what I should do.
