As if the timing had been planned,Dale’s tall figure walked over.
He stared at Lenora with sharp eyes,his tone cold and commanding.
“Lenora,when did you become so arrogant?Apologize to Megan right now.”
“You want me to apologize?”Out of the corner of her eye,Lenora noticed the smug expressions on the three people’s faces.In an instant,she understood.It was a trap set for her.
She let out a cold laugh and pointed at the sapphire necklace on the ground.
“Dale,shouldn’t you explain why the Steele Family heirloom is on this woman?”
“It’s just a necklace.So what if my mom gave it to her?”Dale frowned,picked it up,and placed it back in Megan’s hand.
“Lenora,my mother rarely likes a girl this much.Don’t be childish and upset her again.I’m really caught in the middle between you two.It’s very difficult for me.”
His words deeply hurt Lenora’s heart.Because their family backgrounds were unequal,Dale’s mother had strongly opposed their relationship at the beginning.
Even later,when she finally agreed to let Lenora marry into the Steele Family so she would not lose her son,she still never treated Lenora kindly.
