Beatrix couldn't hold herself back anymore. She walked up to Charlotte and yelled, “Armand and Genevieve are already dead, Charlotte!”

Charlotte was stunned.

Beatrix chuckled frostily. “So what if you're close with Genevieve? So what if your boyfriend is influential? This is Jadeborough!”

With that, Beatrix poked Charlotte and added, “You'd better don't be so full of yourself in Jadeborough...”

Charlotte waited till Beatrix had her fun before touching her own collarbone. Suddenly, the necklace Charlotte was wearing unbuckled and dropped to the floor.

The pendant on the necklace was a butterfly, and the colored gemstones on the wings of the butterfly dropped out.

Charlotte picked the necklace up and scolded, “You can talk all you want, but why did you have to pull my necklace? This necklace is a collector's edition, and it's worth over two hundred thousand! How are you going to compensate me?”

“Have some shame, Charlotte!” Beatrix fumed. “I poked at you just now. I didn't pull your necklace.”

“How could it break if you didn't pull it?” Charlotte responded.

“I saw your hands—”

“What? Are you trying to say that I've broken it myself?” Charlotte interrupted Beatrix's speech. “Are you a lunatic, or am I the crazy one? It's so expensive that I don't even bear to wear it often.”

Charlotte then looked at the necklace in her hands with her teary eyes and said, “This is a birthday present from my dad...”

“Hey, Charlotte—” Beatrix wanted to unleash her wrath at Charlotte, but she remembered who was backing Charlotte up. In the end, she had to swallow her rage and back off. “I'm done talking to you!”

“Hey! Stop right there.” Charlotte grabbed Beatrix and prevented her from leaving. “Pay for my necklace.”

Beatrix's blood started boiling and she yelled, “Let go of me!”

While they were arguing, other customers in the store gathered around them to see what was the commotion about.

“Everyone, look at her. She broke my necklace and didn't want to pay for it.” Charlotte was sobbing when she said, “This is a birthday present from my father.”

At that precise moment, Amanda stepped forward and pointed at Beatrix. In her cute voice, she said, “I saw it! This lady here broke the necklace.”

Hearing that, Beatrix glared at Amanda. “Hey, how could you be this shameless, kid?”

Amanda quickly ran into Sally's embrace. While tugging at Sally's clothes, the tears in her eyes were on the verge of streaming down.

Charlotte was riled up. “She's not even six! Do you think she would lie?”

Right then, the onlookers were all criticizing Beatrix.

As thick-skinned as Beatrix was, she couldn't stand the onlookers filming her. Hence, she gritted her teeth and whipped out her phone to transfer the money to Charlotte.

Charlotte gave Beatrix her account details and wiped the tears off of the corners of her eyes before saying, “Five hundred thousand.”
