Chapter 306
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 Felicia’s 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.
“That’s right, Felicia. You are not worthy to wear this pendant. It doesn’t suit you at all. Take it off immediately and give it to Mom!” Marilyn Labenz said quickly.
“Right Right! Mrs. Jaber, it’s really not suitable for you to wear the emerald pendant. Hurry up and give it to Mom.” Harry Labenz’s 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!
“L. 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 couldn’t 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.
“Felicia, didn’t 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!” 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, “Charlie, as Felicia’s husband, persuade your wife to give me the pendant.
“After this, I will treat all of you equally, and I will love your family even more.”
“This is my wife’s pendant. She must decide for herself, Charlie said in a deep voice.
He thought, “What the crap are you talking about? Where is the equality? Where is the love that you should have given us?”
He didn’t 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, “Grandma really likes this emerald pendant. Please help me beg your mother to give it to me, is that okay?”
Floris and the others’ eyes were cold. They turned their heads away and ignored Mrs. Labenz.
Just now, Mrs. Labenz’s 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. Labenz’s expression turned very ugly.
Haylan’s expression was cold when he said, “Grandma, I’ve already said that you’re 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. “You 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?
“Haha, it’s too late!
“The dissidence of opinions makes it useless to talk. Since you hate us so much that you don’t even want to see us, we’ll take
our leave.”
With that, he held Felicia’s hand and walked toward the door.
Charlie, Floris, and the others also left with indifferent expressions on their faces.
‘I’m really old and muddle-headed. How could I have ignored such an expensive item?”
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.
“I’ll
go
after them!”
Harry did not give up. He turned around and was about to run after the Jaber family.
“Stop right there!”
Mrs. Labenz pulled her son back with a cold expression.
“Mom, that’s a big lump sum of money! That 200 million dollars belong to us, Harry exclaimed anxiously.
“What belongs to us will come back to us. There are so many guests watching now. Do you want to be embarrassed some
more?”
Mrs. Labenz glared at her son and said in a low voice, “I understand Felicia’s character. She is soft natured. Let them leave this time. Before we go overseas, I’ll find an opportunity to trick her into giving me the emerald pendant.”
Harry was overjoyed when he heard this.
“That’s a good plan!”
Felicia had always yearned for Mrs. Labenz’s 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, “Everyone, that was just a trivial incident. Please continue with your meal and have fun.”
Then he asked Mrs. Labenz and Marilyn to join him at the side of the room. He said in a low voice, “Mom, Marilyn, why do you think Felicia suddenly has such an expensive item that is worth 200 million dollars?”
At this point, his eyes were filled with greed.
“She must have gotten lucky to strike it rich!” Marilyn replied.
“Luck? Yes, that must be it. No wonder my luck hasn’t been good recently. It turns out that luck has gone to their side.”
Mrs. Labenz’s eyes turned cold, and she said in a deep voice, “We have to think of a way to make Felicia give me the emerald pendant willingly again. Do you have any ideas?”
Marilyn shook her head, as she could not think of any ideas at that instant.
