Chapter 52
Simane forcefully removed the necklace from her neck and flung it onto the coffee table, her teeth clenched tightly. “She claimed
to have bought this necklace and said she knows Harriet from GK Jewelry studio. But today, in front of everyone, it was revealed
as a lie! I have been utterly humiliated because of her!”
Bennett frowned at the diamond necklace on the table, “Wasn’t this a gift from Carmella on your birthday?”
Simone pointed at Carmella, “You ask her!”
Carmella sobbed uncontrollably, her voice choked with emotion as she wiped her tear-streaked face. With blurry eyes, she
looked at Simone and pleaded, “I’m so sorry, Mom, I’m so sorry!”
Bennett frowned, “What’s going on?”
Carmella choked, “The necklace was... was from Estelle!
Bennett and Simone were both stunned, “Estelle?”
No wonder Harriet said the person who ordered the necklace had the same last name-it was Estelle!
Bennett’s expression darkened as he confronted Carmella. “Carmella, this is where you went wrong. If the necklace was given
by your sister, why did you claim it was from you?”
Carmella was crying so hard she couldn’t catch her breath, “I wasn’t being vain or trying to deceive you. I was just scared! I was
afraid that if Mom saw the beautiful necklace from my sister, she wouldn’t like my gift. I was even more afraid that you wouldn’t
love me or want me anymore!”
“Dad, Mom, I’m really so scared of losing you!”
She squatted down, crying her heart out as if she had been suppressing and holding back her feelings for a long time, and finally
let it all out today.
Despite Simone’s lingering anger over Carmella’s lies, a sudden realization struck her. She understood that Carmella had been
living with a sense of insecurity and caution ever since Estelle’s return and acceptance into their lives. The anger within Simone
dissipated, making room for heartache and compassion.

Simone approached Carmella and enveloped her in a tender hug, whispering softly, “You silly girl, how could I not love you?
Estelle is our daughter, and so are you!”
Carmella clung to Simone tightly, her tears flowing uncontrollably. “Mom, I’m truly sorry! I lied and brought you. embarrassment.
When I become successful in the future, I promise to buy you the most exquisite necklace as a token of my love and gratitude.”
“I’m not as good as Estelle, not as good as her at making money. Do you still like me?”
Simone hurried to reassure her, “Of course I like you. You’re my baby. Don’t ever say such silly things again.”
“Mom, I’ll never lie to you again. Can you forgive me?” Carmella buried herself in Simone’s arms.
The mother and daughter knelt on the carpet like that, holding each other and crying, comforting each other for quite a while.
Watching the close relationship between them on the floor, Bennett’s heart was comforted, but somehow, he felt something was
wrong.
What was it?
It took a full hour for Simone to console Carmella, soothing her until her tears subsided. Afterward, Simone gently guided
Carmella back to her room, advising her to take some time to rest and recuperate.
When she came out, Simone’s eyes were still swollen. Addy gave her a cold towel to put on them.
“I didn’t know Carmella had been bottling up so much!” Simone said, tears falling again..
Bennett gave her some water and comforted her for a bit. Thinking of Estelle, he whispered, “We owe Estelle

too.”
However, Simone suddenly remembered what Carmella said about not being able to make money like Estelle...

Yeah, the limited-edition necklace from GK Jewelry studio was so expensive, a whole set costing at least a million. Where did
Estelle get that much money?
Her heart sank, and anxiety gripped Carmella as she questioned with apprehension, “Where has Estelle been residing for the
past two years? What has she been up to? She hasn’t been involved in anything questionable, has she?!”
Bennett was taken aback by her words, his expression turning somber. “What are you talking about?” he asked, his tone laced
with concern.
“Then how could she afford to buy a necklace from GK Jewelry studio?” Simone demanded.
Bennett originally planned to tell the truth, but thinking about the broken engagement with the Lamont family and the need to
explain further, he decided to hide the whole thing and simply said, “I gave Estelle the money.
