The Billionaire's Mistake (Anya and Daniel)



The woman of high society avoiding Cecile or looking down on her has always been her sour spot.

She was clearly a woman who had raised her son well and he had brought her glory, but they looked at her as though she was some random woman from the street.

She jumped up to attack Elena but Elena threw slap, making Cecile yelp in pain.

"How dare you slap my mother?" Donald stood up to talk but she slapped him too, much to his utter shock.

"Any one of you who dares to spit nonsense will get a slap. Hurry up and hand over my family's things!" Elena scolded. Donald was in shock.

He never thought there would be a day when Elena would slap him.

Did she not love him the most? Was she not the one that would do anything for him? Donald was really confused.

She looked more like she hated him than that she loved him. In fact, when he looked in her eyes, she obviously hated him and his family. When did this start? When had she started looking at him with such eyes?

"I gave you that gift on your wrist because it was important to me. Now, hand it back!" she basically said through her teeth. Melanie hurriedly tried to check if Elena's slap had left a mark and sure enough, it had left a red hand print on hid face.

"Are you crazy? Why would you hurt Donald?" Melanie shouted.

"That is your man, not mine. If all of you do not know our place, I will forget to use my hand and go straight to using a knife," Elena said. "Hand it over!" she scolded. Donald slowly took off the watch in his wrist and handed it to her. Elena got her hands on it, so she turned away from him without care and faced Cecile.

“I am not giving you anything. This is mine!" Cecile covered the necklace with her hand. Right at that moment, Elena's phone started to ring.

She thought it was J calling back as they had ended the call the last time she spoke, but it was Hannah, Donald's sister.

"You bitch! You stole the necklace my brother bought for me!" Hannah's voice entered Elena's ears.

"It seems it is your sister. She must have gotten drunk and called the wrong number,” Elena said and ended the call.

Donald frowned at her words. The way Elena spoke, it was as though his sister was a drunkard. Before he could respond, his phone rang. It was Hannah.

"What is it? Why did you call Elena?" Donald asked.

"Brother, she stole my necklace. The one you gave me on my birthday," Hannah cried. Elena did not need to listen to know what Hannah had said. "Why did you take Hannah? Necklace?" he asked.

"You bitch! You dare talk about your family heirloom this and that, yet you stole my daughter's thing?" Cecile screeched like a banshee.

"Elena, you should hand it over, then maybe, Auntie will hand over yours," Melanie said and she scoffed.novelbin

She turned and looked Donald dead in the eyes. She had to admit that his suspicion hurt

"If you just did research on your sister, you would find exactly where that necklace is. A simple private detective could find it in days. But as usual, you lack common sense to see people's true nature. Why else would you allow a snake wrap around you?" Elena said, glancing at Melanie whose grip was tightly on his arm.

For some reason, he felt uncomfortable. He felt like he was caught cheating. He shook this thought out of his head.

Elena was no more his wife and even when she was, she was just a woman he married under circumstances.

"How about every one just give back each other's things?" Melanie asked and Donald sent her an appreciative look. He was glad that she was at least reasonable.

At this point, the butler rushed in.

"Sir, the police are here and are requesting to come in," he said and Cecile almost jumped out of her skin.

"Why are they here?" Cecile asked.

"Did you forget that I had someone call them?" Elena asked and Cecile went pale. She could not believe that Elena actually called the police. She had thought she was bluffing.

If she refused to hand it over, it was not as though Elena could beat her up and take it, after all, er son was there. But she actually called the police? "You should let them in," Elena said and the butler hurried away before Cecile could protest. Before she could do anything, two police officers walked in.

"We were called that there is a theft in the residence?" one of the officers asked.

"More like the thief refused to hand over what was stolen. Officers, I have documents to prove that the necklace Mrs Mathews is wearing is my family heirloom," Elena said.

"She gave it to me!" Cecile said.

"Can you prove that she did so?" an officer asked.

"I...she gave me when she married my son, it was a greeting gift. There are papers and stuff for it," Cecile said.

"Is this true?" the officers asked. Hearing Cecile's words, they thought it was a family dispute.

"Yes. Those documents also stated

that upon divorce, all greeting gifts

will be returned. She refuses to hand

I

it back. I can provide the documents if needed," Elena answered and took out her phone.

She clicked on the digital copy and showed the police.

"She gave it to me, she cannot take it back!" Cecile shouted.

“Mother, hand it back, already!” Donald said. He was having a headache.

"No! What about her? She had stolen, Hannah's necklace and you are not dong anything about it," Cecile said.

The police officers finally got a grip on what happened and looked to Cecile.

"Madam, if you do not hand it over to the owner, we will have to arrest you," the officers said.

"Hand it over!" Donald finally had enough of this farce. He looked at his mother and scolded her so loudly, that she jumped slightly.

Cecile could see that her son was serious. She dared not open her mouth again. She carefully took off the necklace with a pained expression and handed it over.

Elena took it and looked at it well to make sire it was not damaged, before she put it in her pocket.

"Then what about Hannah's necklace?" Cecile asked. Now that Elena had taken away her favorite necklace, she did not want to let it go.

"Officers. She also stole something from my daughter, an expensive diamond necklace. You have to investigate," Cecile said.

The officers looked to Elena who seemed unperturbed and somewhat felt there is a misunderstanding.

"Officers, I also think it should be investigated. That necklace is really easy to find if someone bothers to try, but they all know nothing about their daughter's character that s why they remain stupid," Elena said.

“You dare call me stupid," Cecile fumed.

"I think this should be filed in the station too. Making a false report is a big deal and can be put on your public record. So, we should make the report under the owners name that claims it has been stolen,” Elena said and Cecile froze.
