Everyone exchanged glances with each other, not knowing what to say for a while.
With so many people gathered around, Elena knew that Shannon could not do anything to her and was fueled with confidence. Hence, she said with a face full of anger, "Shannon, there has to be a limit t o your absurdity. Your grandpa gave me this necklace, and you should know what that means, right? When he gave it to me, M r. Grant and Ms. Lane were both present. They saw your grandpa giving it to me with their own eyes. Why are you saying it like I tricked my way into getting it? If the Collins want to take back what they gave away, then just say so. There’s no need to
insult me like that.
"How much more disgusting can you get? M y grandpa meant to give this necklace to Theo's wife. Are you Theo's wife?
Mistresses these days behave with such righteous indignation while trying to take the legitimate wives' place. You've really opened my eyes."
Shannon was a loquacious person and cared for nothing at the moment. On the contrary, she was surrounded by an intense lethal aura.
Perhaps Elena could not win the argument against Shannon, so she snickered and said to me, “Wanda Lane, I see you in a new light now. You're pushing your husband away yet can't bring yourself to let go of the benefits that come from being with him. You want to have your cake and eat it too. When you saw me taking the necklace, you felt bad and wanted to snatch it away, yet couldn't do it yourself and asked someone t o help you. I'm impressed. If you could just say it to me nicely, then I would've given it t o you. Don't you find yourself disgusting for using such underhanded tactics?"
I frowned and asked somewhat helplessly," So, you think I want the necklace?"
Elena raised her eyebrows. "Don’t you?"
"You think too much. I didn't tell Shannon not to let you have the necklace. Besides, Theo and I have nothing to do with each other anymore, so whoever he allows to own the necklace has nothing to do with m e. I have nothing to say about this at all. Shannon doesn't want you to wear the necklace purely because she thinks you're not worthy."
You!" Elena was furious.
She looked at Theo and said with an aggrieved tone, "Mr. Grant, I'll return this necklace to you."
