Chapter 1128

Everyone exchanged glances with each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

With so many people gathered around, Elena knew that Shannon could not do anything to her and

was fueled with confidence. Hence, she said with a face full of anger, "Shannon, there has to be a

limit t o your absurdity. Your grandpa gave me this necklace, and you should know what that means,

right? When he gave it to me, M r. Grant and Ms. Lane were both present. They saw your grandpa

giving it to me with their own eyes. Why are you saying it like I tricked my way into getting it? If the

Collins want to take back what they gave away, then just say so. There’s no need to

insult me like that.

"How much more disgusting can you get? M y grandpa meant to give this necklace to Theo's wife.

Are you Theo's wife?

Mistresses these days behave with such righteous indignation while trying to take the legitimate

wives' place. You've really opened my eyes."

Shannon was a loquacious person and cared for nothing at the moment. On the contrary, she was

surrounded by an intense lethal aura.

Perhaps Elena could not win the argument against Shannon, so she snickered and said to me,

“Wanda Lane, I see you in a new light now. You're pushing your husband away yet can't bring

yourself to let go of the benefits that come from being with him. You want to have your cake and eat

it too. When you saw me taking the necklace, you felt bad and wanted to snatch it away, yet couldn't

do it yourself and asked someone t o help you. I'm impressed. If you could just say it to me nicely,

then I would've given it t o you. Don't you find yourself disgusting for using such underhanded

tactics?"

I frowned and asked somewhat helplessly," So, you think I want the necklace?"

Elena raised her eyebrows. "Don’t you?"

"You think too much. I didn't tell Shannon not to let you have the necklace. Besides, Theo and I

have nothing to do with each other anymore, so whoever he allows to own the necklace has nothing

to do with m e. I have nothing to say about this at all. Shannon doesn't want you to wear the

necklace purely because she thinks you're not worthy."

You!" Elena was furious.

She looked at Theo and said with an aggrieved tone, "Mr. Grant, I'll return this necklace to you."

She took off the necklace around her neck after saying that and stuffed it into Theo's hands.

Theo did not say anything up until now and was merely looking indifferently at me.

Elena turned around to leave, but he suddenly held her wrist. Elena looked up at him with

astonishment in her eyes.

Shannon was stunned as well. She was doing this just so Elena would not think that she was

Theo's wife. She was trying to remind her to know her place. Whether she took the necklace back

or not was not the point.

However, when she saw Theo pulling Elena back, her expression completely sank.

Those who were watching the fun had no idea what was going on. Everyone wore a dumbfounded

look on their faces.

Theo looked at me with a hint of coldness and disappointment in his eyes.

I pursed my lips and could roughly guess what he was going to do.

"Mr. Grant..." Elena looked up at Theo, her face remained aggrieved. It was especially

heartbreaking to see her like this.

"If it belongs to you, then wear it," Theo said in a deep and attractive voice. It even carried hints of

indulgence.

After saying that, he personally put the necklace back around Elena's neck and held her hand while

saying softly, "Now that it has been given to you, it belongs to you. Don't remove it no matter what.”

Elena probably did not expect Theo to treat her like this and was suddenly muddle-headed. Even

her gaze turned misty. Her face that was pale with anger earlier was suddenly flushed.

"Theo Grant!” Shannon raised the knife.
