The birthday party of Harper was luxuriously decorated, and it must cost a lot.
She came out at the right time. She wore an evening dress and looked like a dazzling princess.
But I remembered that this dress was customized by Michael for me. It was designed by a famous foreign designer a few months ago.
At that time, Michael told me that he would make me be the most beautiful woman on my birthday.
But later, he forgot my birthday and the dress he was going to give me.
Harper came over and naturally held Michael‘s arm as if she didn’t see me.
“I thought you wouldn’t come. You really listen to Michael. I’m afraid you would refuse my invitation.”
Her words made me feel disgusted. When I was about to retort, I saw the necklace around
her neck.
This was…
Angelic Teardrop.
Sensing my gaze, Harper straightened up.
She gently touched the necklace and looked at me with contempt. “You must have never seen such a good thing, right? This is called Angelic Teardrop. It used to belong to a royal family and it had witnessed the rise and fall of the dynasties. Later, it was bought by a mysterious person.”
People at the party all came to her and flattered her.
I looked away.
I knew it.
No one knew better than me about this necklace, because it once belonged to me.
But later, I lost it.
I didn’t expect that it was given to Harper.
I didn’t want to take it back.
Even though this diamond necklace was valuable, it represented the separation and pain for
- me. It was ominous.
In an instant, I remembered a lot of things.
I excused myself to go to the bathroom.
Harper followed me.
She came to the mirror and fixed her makeup. She said casually, “What are you insisting on? What’s the meaning of such a marriage? Michael will marry me sooner or later. It’s better for you to leave voluntarily so that you will not be driven away in embarrassment. What do you think, Emma?”
I had already known what kind of person Harper was. This time, I was not angry. I just fixed my long hair casually.
“As long as I don’t divorce him, you will always be a shameless mistress.”
Harper wanted to beat me as if she had suffered a great grievance. I pushed her away and slapped her hard in the face.
Harper was surprised at first, but then furious.
She roared and pounced on me again, but she was frightened by the slap.
She was just a bug living in a ditch. She would bully the weak and fear the strong. She only knew to use dirty tricks.
I didn’t stay there. I took my bag and was about to leave this disgusting place.
Harper ran out, crying at this time.
She sobbed to everyone that the necklace around her neck was gone.
Someone noticed the red mark on her face and asked her what had happened. She just covered her face and looked at me with fear.
For a moment, I was scolded by others.
Someone even said that I stole her necklace when Harper was distracted.
I just thought that it was ridiculous.
It had been mine. How could I steal it? I was just her trick to fool others.
But someone liked it.
With a gloomy face, Michael walked up to me.
“Give the necklace back to her. It’s her thing.”
I looked at Michael blankly.
My eyes were sore, but I didn’t cry.
After experiencing the real loneliness and helplessness, I understood that tears were the most useless thing.

At this moment, everyone thought I was a despicable thief who stole her necklace.
I took a deep breath and said, “I didn’t steal anything from her.”
Michael and others all looked at me with distain.
Michael didn’t care about me at all. He said directly, “With your salary, can you afford such a
necklace?”
I ignored him. He always thought that I was such a bad woman since I didn’t have money.
“Harper, are you sure that necklace is yours?”
Hearing my question, Harper panicked for a moment.
She gently tugged at the corner of his clothes and said pitifully, “Michael, forget it. Emma is not an outsider. If she likes it, just give it to her.”
But Michael remained unmoved.
He stepped forward and stopped right in front of me.
“Emma, don’t piss me off. Give the necklace back to Harper.”
His prejudice made me feel painful. After getting along with me for five years, did he still think I was such a person?
I lowered my head and burst into laughter all of a sudden. Then I couldn’t help crying out.
I didn’t know what happened to me. I almost couldn’t bear the sudden bitterness.
