Chapter 1117

Chapter 1118

Beatrix couldn't hold herself back anymore. She walked up to Charlotte and yelled, “Armand and Genevieve are

already dead, Charlotte!”

Charlotte was stunned.

Beatrix chuckled frostily. “So what if you're close with Genevieve? So what if your boyfriend is influential? This is

Jadeborough!”

With that, Beatrix poked Charlotte and added, “You'd better don't be so full of yourself in Jadeborough...”

Charlotte waited till Beatrix had her fun before touching her own collarbone. Suddenly, the necklace Charlotte was

wearing unbuckled and dropped to the floor.

The pendant on the necklace was a butterfly, and the colored gemstones on the wings of the butterfly dropped out.

Charlotte picked the necklace up and scolded, “You can talk all you want, but why did you have to pull my necklace?

This necklace is a collector's edition, and it's worth over two hundred thousand! How are you going to compensate

me?”

“Have some shame, Charlotte!” Beatrix fumed. “I poked at you just now. I didn't pull your necklace.”

“How could it break if you didn't pull it?” Charlotte responded.

“I saw your hands—■”

“What? Are you trying to say that I've broken it myself?” Charlotte interrupted Beatrix's speech. “Are you a lunatic,

or am I the crazy one? It's so expensive that I don't even bear to wear it often.”

Charlotte then looked at the necklace in her hands with her teary eyes and said, “This is a birthday present from my

dad...”

“Hey, Charlotte—” Beatrix wanted to unleash her wrath at Charlotte, but she remembered who was backing

Charlotte up. In the end, she had to swallow her rage and back off. “I'm done talking to you!”

“Hey! Stop right there.” Charlotte grabbed Beatrix and prevented her from leaving. “Pay for my necklace.”

Beatrix's blood started boiling and she yelled, “Let go of me!”

While they were arguing, other customers in the store gathered around them to see what was the commotion

about.

“Everyone, look at her. She broke my necklace and didn't want to pay for it.” Charlotte was sobbing when she said,

“This is a birthday present from my father.”

At that precise moment, Amanda stepped forward and pointed at Beatrix. In her cute voice, she said, “I saw it! This

lady here broke the necklace.”



Hearing that, Beatrix glared at Amanda. “Hey, how could you be this shameless, kid?”

Amanda quickly ran into Sally's embrace. While tugging at Sally's clothes, the tears in her eyes were on the verge

of streaming down.

Charlotte was riled up. “She's not even six! Do you think she would lie?”

Right then, the onlookers were all criticizing Beatrix.

As thick-skinned as Beatrix was, she couldn't stand the onlookers filming her. Hence, she gritted her teeth and

whipped out her phone to transfer the money to Charlotte.

Charlotte gave Beatrix her account details and wiped the tears off of the corners of her eyes before saying, “Five

hundred thousand.”

“Five hundred...” Beatrix was so angry that her hands started trembling. She wanted nothing more than to rip

Charlotte to shreds. “Didn't you say two hundred thousand just now?”

“Yes. A few years ago, my dad bought it for over two hundred thousand, but the value of a collector's edition piece

appreciates! Besides, I've already had it for so many years. It's worth over five hundred thousand now,” Charlotte

answered.

“It's fine if you think I'm trying to scam you. Just buy an identical one and compensate me,” Charlotte added.

Beatrix had always kept up with fashion magazines and jewelry, and she had seen the necklace worn by Charlotte

at a jewelry exhibition before. It was indeed quite expensive. If I were to buy the necklace, I might end up paying

more! Fine. I'll just transfer the money to her now.

“You're wrong for breaking my necklace, so you ought to apologize to me.” Charlotte received the money shortly

after, but she wasn't going to let Beatrix slip away.

“Charlotte!” Beatrix gritted her teeth. “Don't push your luck!”

"What if I insist?” Charlotte asked.

When Beatrix saw Charlotte staring at her with her arms crossed, it was as if Charlotte knew she had backers, and

she had nothing to be afraid of.

In the end, Beatrix had to apologize, “I'm sorry.”

“Well received.” Charlotte nodded. “Now, apologize to the child.”

Charlotte pointed at Amanda. “You said this child doesn't have a mother. When the child spoke the truth on my

behalf, you accused her of being shameless. You've hurt her.”
