Chapter 729
Meanwhile, at the Tanner family residence, Eloise sat down and held an exquisite velvet box.
The sapphire necklace that caused a commotion in the auction lay inside the box.
However, there was no joy on her face.
Arianna returned home and saw her staring at the box in a daze.
She took off her coat and walked over for a closer look.
She praised it, "What a beautiful necklace! Mom, let me put it on you!"
"I don’t want to wear it!"
Eloise pushed Arianna’s hand away and sighed.
After all, the necklace was not something Joseph had bought for her.
He only brought it back because he needed to save his reputation.
She knew what had happened at the auction.She disliked it even more because she knew the story
behind it and felt depressed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJoseph treated her well in the eyes of the public.He spent 10 million dollars to purchase a necklace for
her, but...
"Regardless of dad’s sincerity, this necklace belongs to you now, Mom.I read the news about the
auction too.Dad said it was for you in front of many reporters.He’ll surely not take it back.That woman
must be pissed off right now!" Arianna said.
"Hmph! She thought she could replace me just because she went to an auction?! How stupid!" Eloise
said in disdain.
Arianna stretched her hand and gently touched the sapphire's surface.
The sapphire was lustrous and warm to the touch.
It was indeed a fabulous piece of jewelry.
"She’s stupid, and that’s why she can never replace you.You don’t need to be angry, Mom.After being
with him for many years, you should have known how dad is.Sometimes, we can’t count on men, so we
must rely on ourselves."
"you're right! Ari, you must also remember that you can only rely on yourself."
Eloise’s heart had broken into pieces after being hurt for years.She had figured it out and decided she
would forever be Mrs.Tanner, even if Joseph had cheated on her.
No one could covet this position.
"Yes."
Arianna nodded as she thought the same thing.She picked up the sapphire necklace and placed it on
her palm to appreciate it.She could not help but feel a little pity.
"What a shame that dad paid 10 million for this.This necklace is not worth that much money."
"No, It's worth it!"
Eloise grinned and asked, "Do you know where this sapphire necklace came from?"
"Where?" Arianna asked and blinked her eyes in curiosity.
Eloise did not answer.She sat up straight and looked proud.
Arianna was stunned but quickly understood what her mother meant.She was pretty surprised.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Mom, do you mean it was originally yours..."
"Yes," Eloise replied, confirming her daughter’s guess.
Arianna was even more surprised.
"How come I've never seen you wear it before? How did it appear at the auction if it’s your necklace?
D-Did you..."
"What do you think?"
Eloise snorted and stood up.She unhurriedly walked toward a bonsai tree and looked at it.
Then she took a pair of scissors from the shelf and started trimming it.
"Did you forget your mother’s occupation? Besides my past earnings from acting, I received many gifts
from the brands I endorsed.How could your father remember if this belonged to me?"
"That’s true.How did you know dad would take Elizabeth to auction this time? How could you be sure
she would like this necklace and want to bid for it?"
Arianna was still puzzled after thinking about it.
"Would I not know what taste that woman has?"
Eloise turned and looked at Arianna.Her eyes were full of disdain for Elizabeth.
