Two hours later, Lucy and Franklin emerged from the mall, laden with shopping bags.

Suddenly, Lucy exclaimed, “Oh no! I forgot to buy a necklace! Come on, let’s go back…”

With his hands full and legs aching from all the walking, Franklin groaned, “Mom, maybe we should call it a day? We’re already carrying so much stuff, going back and forth is exhausting.”

“But…” Lucy frowned. Yet she realized that with so many bags, it would be quite a hassle to return. Her eyes darted around and then landed on the necklace around Evelyn’s neck.

“Hey, the necklace you’re wearing looks pretty good. How about you give it to me, and you can go buy yourself another one later?”

Evelyn’s eyes widened, completely stunned.

This necklace was a Cartier limited edition piece. She’d waited four months for it, and it had cost her nearly seven figures.

Who did this woman think she was? Just demanding it like that? How big–headed could she be to even say such a thing?

Lucy arched an eyebrow. “Why that face? It’s just a necklace, not your life! And honestly, I’m not even picky about the fact you’ve worn it before. I’m even giving you the chance to buy yourself a brand–new one. You should be grateful!

“Well, if you’re that stingy, then fine. I thought we could sit down and resolve things properly, but I see you’re showing about as much sincerity as a speck of dust. Fine, let’s keep dragging this out. I’m in no
