The Billionaire's Mistake

MISTAKE 104

Chapter 104: Calling the Police

"Isn't it just a necklace? Why are you calling the police?" he asked.

"Are you stupid?" Emma scolded back, and he froze. Emma rarely ever spoke to him this way. Today, he was constantly getting a side of her that he was not used to.

"Even if it is dirty on the ground, I just said it belonged to my grandmother, yet you think I should leave it to your mother? It is not dirt on the ground; why is she refusing to return it?"

Emma shouted at him.

"You gave it to me!" Cecile insisted.

"I gave it to you when I got married. Look at our prenuptial agreement; every gift I hand over as a greeting gift must be returned upon divorce. How dare you try to covet my grandmother's things?" Emma said, and Cecile looked to Charles for help. "Mother, just hand it over," Charles said, much to her disappointment.

"Why should I? Our family gave her things too in this marriage!" Cecile said, and Emma chuckled. One Charles knew why she was laughing.

She had not taken a cent from the marriage. While she was married to him, she did not even bother use his money.

He felt as though her laughter was mocking him.

"From the water I drank to the clothes I wore. Your son has not given me a cent while I have been married to him. The prenup allows me to be entitled to alimony, but I struck it out. Anyone can say that they have given me something, except your son," Emma said. "Everything I gave must be returned. That watch you are wearing and the necklace. You must return it now. Or else, we will go to court for it. I will report it as stolen, and when the police

arrive at this mansion, I will make you all famous" Emma threatened Charles.

Melanie noticed that there was no way out, so she stepped up.

"How about you let Auntie keep it as a goodbye gift instead, seeing as she liked it so much?" Melanie said.

"Bring your own family heirlooms for her if she wants shiny things so much. She has been acting like a shrew just because her son struck it rich, but her poor mentality shows. Every time she leaves the house, those of her circle avoid her because she is no different to a village woman," Emma mocked, and Cecile was infuriated.

Even though her son had been accepted in high society, she was not.
