Chapter 1124 Be Grateful
Upon returning home and seeing Henry who was making dinner in the kitchen, Amy
hurriedly yanked him out and said, "Dear, I have something to tell you."
Henry stumbled slightly from the force of her grip, so he was rather irritated. "Just say
what you have to say!"
Amy reached out and removed the apron that he wore. "Come here."
Then, she shoved him onto the couch and said solemnly, "I went to the auction house with
Eleanor today…"
Then, she told him everything that had happened earlier, from the man they met to the
sapphire necklace.

is worth 15 million, but it doesn't have the same shine as the one you gave to Olivia, and
it isn't as stunning either. As long as you take that necklace back from Olivia, it'll definitely
be worth a fortune. Besides, that man had already said that if it's the one they're looking
for, they'll pay at least 30 million for it. That's 30 million we're talking about, dear, it's an
amount that we can't even hope to make with the company even within several years!
Didn't you say that our company has been struggling financially recently? Now is the
perfect chance for you to get the necklace back from Olivia. Once we sell it and get the
money, our company will be saved!"
Although Henry was somewhat enticed by her offer, he still had his principles, so he
refused, "That won't do. That necklace belongs to Olivia, and it might be the last thing she
has from her parents. How can I tell her to sell it?"
Hearing that, Amy turned frantic. "Olivia is already turning twenty-eight this year, which
means that her parents are in their fifties or sixties, and we don't even know if they're still
around. Besides, more than twenty years have already gone by. If she were able to find
them, wouldn't she have found them a long time ago?"
"I still can't touch it. It belongs to Olivia, so she's the only one who can decide what to do
with it. You don't have to say anything else; I've already wronged that child enough."
With that, Henry made to stand up and leave.
However, Amy grabbed him and yelled, "How have you wronged her? Regardless of how
you treated her, weren't you the one who raised her for over two decades? She wouldn't
be here if it weren't for you, but what about her? She sent our daughter to jail, so how
have you wronged her? It's just a necklace! It's not like we're forcing her to abandon her
dignity to beg them or risk her life for us. Don't you know what state the company is in?
What else would I be after? I just want us to do better!"

Henry frowned. "It's none of your business how the company is doing. Just stay at home
and focus on being a housewife. Is that not enough for you?"
Amy gave him a shove. "Do you hear what you're saying, Henry? What do you mean it
isn't enough for me? Do you think this is a simple matter? Did you know that my friend
spent 15 million just like that, while all I could do was watch. After all these years, my
daughter was sent to prison, and my husband's company is barely fending for itself, but
you're still being held back by everything! Don't forget that Anna and I are the ones who
are actually closest to you! Besides, what will we lose? We'll just let that man have a look
at the necklace, and we'll even get money out of it!"
Henry dismissed her impatiently. "Enough. Don't you know your own daughter? If I hadn't
given up my reputation, do you think she'd still be alive? Eleanor may have spent 15
million just like that, but just ask her, what else does she have besides money? Her
husband is never at home, and her son treats her like a servant. Stop comparing yourself
with others; even though we aren't living the ideal lifestyle, we're not living on the streets,
right? Learn to be grateful!"
