Mrs. Labenz placed her hands on her waist and glared at Felicia. She spoke in a reprimanding and domineering tone.
As she spoke, her eyes lit up as she stared fixated at the emerald pendant on Feliciaâs neck.
This was an extremely valuable piece of jewelry worth 200 million dollars.
Mrs. Labenz felt that a country bumpkin like Felicia did not deserve to have such a piece of jewelry.
âThatâs right, Felicia. You are not worthy to wear this pendant. It doesnât suit you at all. Take it off immediately and give it to Mom!â Marilyn Labenz said quickly.
âRight Right! Mrs. Jaber, itâs really not suitable for you to wear the emerald pendant. Hurry up and give it to Mom.â Harry Labenzâs eyes were burning with greed. He could not take his eyes off the pendant.
If he had possession of this emerald pendant, he would sell it and need not worry about money for the rest of his life!
âL. Felicia Jaber touched the emerald pendant. For a moment, she did not know what to say.
In the past, she only knew that this pendant was very expensive, but she did not expect that it was worth so much money. Now that she was asked to give the emerald pendant away again, she couldnât bear to part with it.
Felicia wanted to sell the pendant so that their family would be able to live a good life. Her son would be able to get married as soon as possible, and their daughter would marry into a good family.
âFelicia, didnât you want to give it to me as a gift to show your filial piety? How can anyone take back a gift? Bring it over quickly!â Mrs. Labenz said angrily.
Felicia gritted her teeth and held on to the pendant tightly. She did not say a single word.
Seeing that Felicia was reluctant, Mrs. Labenz looked at Charlie again and said, âCharlie, as Feliciaâs husband, persuade your wife to give me the pendant.
âAfter this, I will treat all of you equally, and I will love your family even more.â
âThis is my wifeâs pendant. She must decide for herself, Charlie said in a deep voice.
He thought, âWhat the crap are you talking about? Where is the equality? Where is the love that you should have given us?â
He didnât believe anything that Mrs. Labenz had said because he was not bothered.
Mrs. Labenz had always despised her poor daughter and loved her other rich children. She was superstitious and favored boys over girls. When she said those words, it was obvious that she only wanted the emerald pendant. Felicia and her family would never get any love from her!
If Mrs. Labenz really loved their family, she would not have ignored them for decades.
She then looked at Floris, Yelena, and George. She smiled obsequiously and said, âGrandma really likes this emerald pendant. Please help me beg your mother to give it to me, is that okay?â
Floris and the othersâ eyes were cold. They turned their heads away and ignored Mrs. Labenz.
Just now, Mrs. Labenzâs attitude toward Felicia was terrible, and she even said that she could not wait for Felicia to die soon. Now she had the cheek to beg Floris and the rest to persuade Felicia to give her the pendant. They chose to ignore her completely.
When she realized they were ignoring her, Mrs. Labenzâs expression turned very ugly.
Haylanâs expression was cold when he said, âGrandma, Iâve already said that youâre blind and choose not to see the good in our family. Instead, you dote on the others who are vicious and not sincere. Our family has come to send you off today sincerely. My mother even wanted to give you a precious gift but you threw it on the ground as though it is a piece of trash. âYou still allow these people to slander our family and ruin our reputation. Now that you know how expensive the gift is, you want it back?
âHaha, itâs too late!
âThe dissidence of opinions makes it useless to talk. Since you hate us so much that you donât even want to see us, weâll take our leave.â
With that, he held Feliciaâs hand and walked toward the door.
Charlie, Floris, and the others also left with indifferent expressions on their faces.
âIâm really old and muddle-headed. How could I have ignored such an expensive item?â
Seeing Felicia leave with her family, Mrs. Labenz turned red with anger. She thumped on her chest and stamped her feet. She was filled with regrets.
She came to the realization that when she threw the gift, she had lost 200 million dollars.
âIâll go after them!â
Harry did not give up. He turned around and was about to run after the Jaber family.
âStop right there!â
Mrs. Labenz pulled her son back with a cold expression.
âMom, thatâs a big lump sum of money! That 200 million dollars belong to us, Harry exclaimed anxiously.
âWhat belongs to us will come back to us. There are so many guests watching now. Do you want to be embarrassed some more?â
Mrs. Labenz glared at her son and said in a low voice, âI understand Feliciaâs character. She is soft natured. Let them leave this time. Before we go overseas, Iâll find an opportunity to trick her into giving me the emerald pendant.â
Harry was overjoyed when he heard this.
âThatâs a good plan!â
Felicia had always yearned for Mrs. Labenzâs love. The reason why Mrs. Labenz did not get the emerald pendant was because Havlan was there.
If Mrs. Labenz could ask Felicia out and shower her with some concern and use some loving words, Mrs. Labenz would definitely be able to fool Felicia.
After that, Harry coughed a few times and said loudly, âEveryone, that was just a trivial incident.
Please continue with your meal and have fun.â
Then he asked Mrs. Labenz and Marilyn to join him at the side of the room. He said in a low voice, âMom, Marilyn, why do you think Felicia suddenly has such an expensive item that is worth 200 million dollars?â
At this point, his eyes were filled with greed.
âShe must have gotten lucky to strike it rich!â Marilyn replied.
âLuck? Yes, that must be it. No wonder my luck hasnât been good recently. It turns out that luck has gone to their side.â
Mrs. Labenzâs eyes turned cold, and she said in a deep voice, âWe have to think of a way to make Felicia give me the emerald pendant willingly again. Do you have any ideas?â
Marilyn shook her head, as she could not think of any ideas at that instant.
Harry had a ruthless look in his eyes. âIsnât Felicia living in Lightdom City? I remember that Landis knows Hugh Croydon, one of the Four Kings over there. We can get Landis to call Hugh to get his men to beat the hell out of Haylan and Charlie and then kidnap them.
âAfter that happens, we will let Felicia know that we can solve her problem. She will definitely beg us for help and give us the emerald pendant in return.â
Landis was Harryâs son. He wasnât interested in studying but enjoyed hanging out with scumbags.
He didnât make it to university and hence, he spent most of his time with people of shady characters. He also got to know people from the underworld.
Harry felt that he could ask Landis to handle this matter.
âThatâs a good idea. Letâs do that. Call Landis immediately. We have to get that pendant before we go overseas.â The old ladyâs eyes were filled with joy.
âYes, Iâll call him now.â Harry nodded and immediately took out his phone to call Landis.
At this moment, the door opened, and Haylan appeared at the door again.
Everyoneâs expressions changed when Haylan appeared.
âHaylan Jaber, why are you back again? Do you want to pack some food for that poor family of yours?â Marilyn asked sarcastically.
Haylan glanced at her coldly and said, âIâm here to settle scores!â
With that, he strode over to Yasmin who was standing in the crowd. Haylan stared at her coldly.
âYou were the one who spread the rumors that I was a gigolo overseas, and that try sister had the money to go to the hospital by prostituting herself right?â
When Haylan left just now, he got someone to investigate and immediately knew who spread the rumors.
He could not be bothered about what Yastnin said about him.
However, he would not tolerate the fact that Yasmin had made such a humiliating remark about Yelena. How could Yelena face anyone in the future?
âYou⦠What do you want to do?â Yasminâs eyes were filled with fear, and her voice was trembling.
The sound of someone getting slapped was heard.
Before Yasmin could finish speaking. Haylan had already given her such a tight slap that her teeth cracked, and she spat out blood. Yasmin was sent flying more than 10 feet away and landed on a dining table. She could not get up for a long time.
