Chapter 728

Elizabeth pouted, shook Joseph’s arm, and said softly, "Joseph, I know I’m also at fault today.It was my first time going to the auction with you, and I got too excited.Besides, you’ve never taken me to those places before.I deserve forgiveness for my ignorance, don’t I? Forgive me just this once."

Joseph was still angry when he turned to look at her.

Elizabeth was over forty years old, but her face remained beautiful.

Her pitiful eyes made his heart soften again.

He pinched her cheek, saying, "I'm helpless against you."

When Elizabeth heard his weak voice, she knew she had won him over again.

She smiled sweetly, hugged his arm, nudged her face on his body, and said, "I know you're the best!

Let’s forget about what happened this time.You can’t blame me anymore!"

"What should I do with you? Don’t be so unruly next time.You must be obedient and think before you speak!"

Elizabeth nodded vigorously, "I'll be obedient and listen to you.Joseph, that sapphire necklace..."

"What's wrong?"

"You were just saying that casually, right? When will you get me that sapphire necklace?"

She could hardly wait to obtain it.

Joseph's smiling face turned solemn again when he heard her questions.He forcefully pushed Elizabeth’s hands away and removed his arm from her clutches.

"Why are you still hung up about that necklace?"

"That’s because I’ve wanted it for a long time.You promised to give it to me.You can’t go back on your words!"

Joseph shook his head.

"I have publicly stated in front of the media that the necklace is for Eloise.You shouldn’t think about it anymore.I will give you a better one in the future."

"I don’t want a different necklace.I want that one! I like it!"

Elizabeth stomped her feet and threw a tantrum.She wanted it not only because she longed for it or liked it.

Instead, she wanted it for her reputation.

After all, it was a battle between her and Eloise.

Joseph publicly said he would give the necklace to his wife, so Eloise would likely have heard of it.

If he did not give the necklace to Eloise but instead to Elizabeth, it would be a sign of sovereignty.

"You just said you would be obedient!"

Joseph frowned and refused to give in, "I have publicly said I'll give the necklace to her.Do you think the media are blind?! Not only do I need to stay up late to give it to her, but I also need to ensure she wears it in front of the reporters.Otherwise, it will affect Tanner Corporation's stock price.It might also affect Damian’s future in the company.Do you understand this?"

Elizabeth was stunned when she heard it would affect her son’s future.

However, she refused to believe it, "You are exaggerating."

"You honestly don’t understand anything, do you?!"Joseph shook his head.

He turned and sat on the sofa, firmly saying, "That’s enough, Elizabeth.I can’t give you the necklace, but I’ll give you something else."

Elizabeth saw his firm attitude and knew his decision was unchangeable.

She was so angry that she grabbed something and smashed it to the ground.

‘F*ck this! I went through all that trouble, but that necklace will end up around that b*tch’s neck instead?!’
