In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 466

"Don't do it, Ms. Green."

The assistant tried to talk Kayla out of it. But Kayla ignored her and threw the necklace on the floor.

"I don't ever want to see items like this ever again."

Everyone in the room looked at each other in bewilderment. They were all at a loss for words.

The assistant quickly crouched down and picked up the necklace.

With her head bowed, she said respectfully, "Ms. Green, if you don't like this necklace, I'll request a new one from the company. But you can't wear the one you're wearing now in public."

Kayla's expression darkened. With a scowl on her face, she crossed her arms and said haughtily, "What if I insist on wearing it?"

The assistant pursed her lips and said weakly, "I'm afraid you can't do that, Ms. Green."

"You dare defy me? Do you know what happens to people who do that?"

With her head held high, Kayla said in a cold and condescending tone, "Talk back to me again, and I'll have you fired from your position."

As soon as she said that, a woman's voice rang out. "Oh? I'd like to see who's bold enough to try that!"

Lydia walked through the crowd toward them. Tears welled up in the assistant's eyes when she saw Lydia.

She called out with a sob, "Ms. York!"

Lydia patted her on the back to comfort her. Then, she turned toward Kayla.

"It's our fault we brought the wrong piece, Ms. Green. But there's no need to make a mountain out of a molehill."

Kayla snorted irritably. She didn't think Lydia was worthy of her attention.

Initially, she had thought Lydia would be from a rich family since she had grown up with Grace. Hence, she had gotten someone to look into Lydia's background. The results were completely unexpected.

The assistant quickly crouched down to pick up the necklace, which had fallen to the floor.

After examining it, she whispered, "Ms. York, the necklace is broken."

Lydia glanced at it. Her expression fell.

"Ms. Green, is this how you handle things?"

Kayla couldn't be bothered anymore. "What? Are you going to ask me to pay for it? How much can a lousy necklace possibly be? Name your price. I'll pay up."

Lydia sneered. "Pay? I don't think you can afford it."

Kayla smiled and said condescendingly, "It might seem expensive to someone like you. After all, your salary must be pitiful. It's probably just the cost of a meal for me. Name your price."

Lydia crossed her arms and said, "Yeah, it isn't that expensive. It's just 30 million dollars. Which payment method would you be using?"
