Didn’t understand what was going on.
Crystal also took a while to snap back to reality.
“Did you hear what I said? Are you deaf?” Roxie scolded harshly, seeing Crystal’s stunned expression.
“What right did you have to wear such an expensive necklace? Were you worthy? Shameless woman, give me back the necklace.
immediately!”
Crystal hadn’t expected that Roxie, the young heiress of the prominent Hashville family, would shamelessly act like a hooligan and swear in front of everyone, showing no manners at all.
She sneered. “Ms. Mellor, have you had too much to drink?”
“The Cloud–Moon Necklace was bought by my friend Robin at an auction in the Fantasy Hotel for 5 billion, and was given to me.”
“How did it become yours again?”
Roxie’s eyes were bloodshot, she gritted her teeth and said, “I’ll say it again. I like that necklace, that necklace is mine!”
“Five billion, I can give you! However, you must take off this necklace and give it to me, and also, kneel down and apologize to me!”
“You actually competed with me to bid for this necklace at the auction, I haven’t settled this score with you yet!”
“You actually dared to come to the celebration center today, give me back the necklace!”
Crystal laughed, “Ms. Mellor, I know, you are the daughter of the leader of Hashville Martial Arts Union, your family is very powerful, but, you have no right to be so domineering and unreasonable.”

“Hehe! Talk about fairness? Whoever has the power has the right!” Roxie arrogantly lifted her head, “From childhood to adulthood, whatever I liked. I had to have!”
Crystal said coldly, “This is the birthday gift Robin gave me, I absolutely won’t give it to you!”
At that moment, a murmur of discussion echoed through the banquet hall of the celebration.
“That day at the auction, it was indeed a gentleman named Robin who bid for this necklace to give to Ms. Thompson.”
“Since it belonged to someone else, how could she forcefully demand it? This Ms. Mellor was a bit excessive.”
“Ms. Mellor had a powerful background, she liked this necklace, it was necessary to give it to her.”
“No matter how much she liked it, or that she was the daughter of the leader of the Hashville Martial Arts Union, she still had to be reasonable.”
“Stop talking, do you understand? Ms. Mellor has a very bad temper, and it wouldn’t be a good thing if you offended her.”

Roxie snorted coldly, a murderous glint in her eyes, “Did you hear what I said? If you don’t give it back to me, don’t blame me for being rude!”
“Mr. Gonzales, help me take off that necklace!”
Domingo hesitated, looking at Crystal, then at Roxie, “Roxie, this, this isn’t quite right, is it?”
Chapter 222 Roxie Flipped
“What did you say?” Roxie asked coldly.
Domingo immediately shut his mouth, “Ms. Mellor, I…”
“Get lost! You always claimed to like me, but you can’t even handle this matter for me. How could I ever be interested in you!”
“This…” Domingo shook his head helplessly.
Roxie glared menacingly at Crystal, advancing step by step, “I’m giving you one more chance, hand over the necklace yourself! Otherwise, I will tear your clothes off in public!”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
