Marco, on the other hand, knew that he was the one who made Loraine suffer so much and he couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Meanwhile, Florence was taken aback. This was the first time she had been refused so rudely.
She felt humiliated and said sarcastically, “Well, I didn’t mean to choose you. But since you have said no, please don't get close to Grady in the future, so you don't mislead him.” Florence's statement made Grady frown.

“Why do | have such a disobedient son?” Florence murmured under her breath, her hands trembling in anger. But she could not refute what had just been said. She could only shout at the butler behind her, “Why are you still standing there? Take the necklace back immediately!” “Yes, madam.” The butler hurried forward to take the box from Grady, and Grady didn’t resist this time.
Since Loraine had refused him, he had no reason to give her the necklace.
But before the butler could leave, Florence stopped her. “Wait. Take out the necklace and wipe it carefully, just in case it has been stained with someone's bad luck!” The butler broke into a cold sweat, but he had no choice but to do as he was ordered. He took out the necklace and carefully wiped it.
It was an incomparably bright diamond necklace, made of twenty large square diamonds. The most eye-catching one was undoubtedly the large pillow-shaped diamond in the front of the necklace, which was shining brightly even in the dim light.
No wonder it was called the Sea Of Light.

If Ke) NV ybu'get'angry, your face and neck will secrete more skin fat and sweat, and that's Likely to hurt the jewelry.” Florence became even more furious.
