Chapter 81
The Clarke family wasn’t a particularly powerful family, and today was only its youngest daughter’s birthday party, so other than the family’s business partners, most of the people present were young people.
All young people would like to watch a good show.
Therefore, at that moment, almost everyone in the banquet hall stopped what they were doing. They either secretly or directly glanced at Elizabeth.
Elizabeth planned on making appearance and just leave, so she did not deliberately dress up.
She was wearing an off–shoulder knee–length dress. Her hair was tied into a loose bun, and she was carrying an ostrich–skin handbag. The only jewelry on her body was a pair of earrings.
Compared to Katherine, who was meticulously dressed up, she looked much poorer.
“Is this the Elizabeth who stole Katherine’s fiancé?”
Some people had already begun to discuss softly, their voices were filled with disdain.
“To attend a banquet, you don’t even have jewelry. I don’t even know what brand her clothes and bag are. short–sighted and want to steal everything from others.”
She’s indeed
“Whatever she stole doesn’t belong to her. Andrew definitely doesn’t like her. Otherwise, why would he let his wife be so shabby?”
“She’s probably jealous that Katherine can hold such a grand banquet, so she deliberately stole something to make Katherine feel uncomfortable. How vicious!”
“That’s right! He’s too evil!”
Their voices were not loud, but it spread within a small area. Many people present looked at Elizabeth with disdain.
Elizabeth completely ignored Katherine. She even grabbed Andrew’s arm, preventing him from speaking.
She leaned lazily against Andrew and crossed her arms. She looked at Katherine with a disdainful smile and waited for her to continue acting.
Elizabeth was looking at Katherine as if she was a clown.
Katherine was so angry that he could not suppress his emotions.
“Liz”
Afraid that her daughter would ruin her plan, Kaida quickly took her arm and warned her, “I know that you don’t like us.
“After all, today is Kathy’s birthday. No matter what, you can’t do such a thing. It will make your father very sad.”
After being reminded by her mother, Katherine came back to her senses.
“That’s right, Elizabeth Katherine immediately put on a pitiful look. “Today is my birthday. That pink diamond was given. to me by my father. It’s very important to me. Can you return it to me?
“If you really want it, can’t I get Dad to buy another set for you another day?”
Kaida immediately added, “Just return it to Kathy. Even if your father is so angry that he’s hospitalized and unwilling to buy one for you, I’m willing to buy you one.
“How about that?”
The two of them worked together and indirectly criticized Elizabeth for being unfilial.
Elizabeth watched the two of them perform and thought that they were trying to ruin her reputation.
Gradually, Elizabeth realized that while the two of them were talking, their gazes would occasionally glance at Andrew.
That’s so annoying, thought Elizabeth.
“You mean the pink diamonds?”
Elizabeth chuckled and fiddled with her hair, revealing her earlobes. “Are you talking about these earrings?”
Katherine’s eyes lit up. “Yes. just…”
Kaida looked at Elizabeth’s confident expression and was worried that it was a trap. She tugged at her daughter. “Kathy lost a necklace. It’s probably the same set as these earring.
“However, as long as you return the necklace, nothing else matters.”

“Impressive, impressive!”
Elizabeth clapped her hands and said mockingly. “You really can talk, Aunt. You didn’t state that the earrings are yours, but you’re still hinting that the earrings are yours, right?
“Alright, I won’t waste my breath on you. If you have any evidence to prove that I stole her necklace, show me”
“My makeup artist saw you stuff the necklace into your bag.” Katherine said impatiently. Do you dare to let us search your bag?”
“Search my bag?”
Elizabeth chuckled and looked up at Andrew. “Do you think we should let her search my bag?”
Andrew’s eyes were filled with disdain. He reached out and hugged Elizabeth protectively in his arms. He mocked, “She’s not worthy of touching Mrs. Hayes‘ things.
Not to mention Katherine, even Kaida did not expect Elizabeth to throw the question to Andrew.
“Andrew!” Kaida pulled a long face and said angrily, “Now Kathy feels aggrieved. Is it wrong for her to want justice?
“Elizabeth, can’t you just open your bag and let us take a look?
“If you really have the necklace, return it to Kathy. She needs it urgently now. If you really don’t have it, I’ll get Katherine to apologize to you.
“Is that alright?”
“Sure. Not only did Elizabeth agree readily,
She actually took out a pink diamond necklace from her bag. “Is this what you’re looking for?”
“Hiss…
Gasps could be heard all around.
Those who tried their best to remain silent and watch the show quietly could not remain calm.
“No way, she really stole it? How shameless.”
“Isn’t that so? Mr. Hayes was still supporting her, but in the end, she embarrassed Mr. Hayes!”
“Mr. Hayes is really pitiful to have married such a person.”
The surrounding discussions and scoldings made Katherine reveal a smug expression. Without even looking carefully, she pulled the pink diamond necklace from Elizabeth’s hand and put it on her neck.
“Sis, apologize to me. After all, you stole my things.”
As she spoke, she turned to look at Andrew. “Andrew, I’m really sorry. My sister is born to take my things and won’t let anything go.
“If I had known that it would embarrass you, I wouldn’t have said it in front of others.”
Kaida was not as smug as her daughter.
Although she did not take a closer look at Elizabeth’s necklace, it was enough for her to see the difference in design and….
The diamond on the necklace in Elizabeth’s hand was obviously much larger.
“Kathy, you…”
She was about to help Katherine out of the predicament.
However, Elizabeth had already walked over and held Katherine’s hand that was about to buckle the necklace. “Are you sure this is your necklace?”
“Of course it’s mine! Katherine glared at Elizabeth in dissatisfaction. “What, you want to snatch it?”
Elizabeth finally waited for Katherine to admit it herself. She relaxed and chuckled. Her gaze swept across everyone before she said, “Snatch? I want my things back. How can you call it snatching if I’m just taking my things back?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
The overly smug Katherine had already forgotten what her mother had taught her. Her nose was raised to the sky. “Elizabeth, are you used to stealing?
“How dare you say that it’s yours? Do you know no shame?”
“Of course I do. I just don’t know if you know any shame.”

After saying that, Elizabeth snatched the necklace and raised it high in her hand. “I believe everyone knows that a month. ago, a mysterious buyer bought an expensive set of pink diamonds.
“Unfortunately, my husband was the mysterious buyer.
“He had bid for the diamond to customize my jewelry, and my initials were engraved on the back of this customized pink diamond jewelry.
“Everyone, please take a look at whose name is written behind this piece of jewelry.”
