Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 751

Winnie was so furious that her head began to throb. She spun around and was ready to snatch the emerald from Kate's hand.

"Taking without asking is stealing! Put it back!"

"Put back what?"

Kate, though chubby, was surprisingly quick. With a deft flick on her wrist, she left Winnie grasping at thin air.

"If it's in my hands, it's mine now!"

"You… you're so…"

Winnie had been raised to be a well-mannered young lady. No matter how outrageous Kate's behavior was, she simply couldn't bring herself to call an elder "shameless" in front of her friends.

"Fine, fine! Just consider it my gift to her!"

Seeing that Winnie was on the verge of tears, Sharon quickly stepped in to diffuse the tension.

The emerald had originally been a gift from Yolanda to Sharon, now Yolanda's aunt had taken it, and it didn't seem like a huge deal in the grand scheme of things.

Sharon didn't think much of Kate or Eddie, but regardless of how close she was with Winnie and Yolanda, it wasn't her place to openly confront their family elders.

"I'm so sorry…"

Winnie clasped her hands together in an apologetic gesture toward Sharon.

"I'll go to the jewelry store tomorrow and buy you two identical ones!"

She knew Sharon came from a wealthy family, and these emeralds probably hadn't come cheap.

But with relatives like hers, there wasn't much Winnie could do except dig into her savings to make things right with Sharon.

"You don't need to. That emerald was originally a gift from Yolanda. Giving it to your aunt now seems reasonable enough. Besides, if I want it, I'll just go get it back from her myself. You don't need to buy me anything," Sharon said.

"Yolanda?"

Winnie let out a bitter laugh.

Kate's attitude reminded her far too much of Diana's.

When Yolanda left the Henderson family, both Linda and the barely hanging Eleanor had clapped their hands in celebration.

"Raising children properly is so important. Just look at my Eddie—handsome, talented, and charming. At work, his boss values him so much that he even wants to marry his daughter off to him.

"But unfortunately, that boss started his business from scratch, and it only became one of the Fortune 500 companies after he hit middle age.

"His family has no deep roots or connections. People like that, no matter how much money they have, are just not good enough for my son!

"The last time I attended a social event with the other ladies in our circle, all those wives from prominent families were practically lining up to introduce their daughters to Eddie.

"But my Eddie is destined for great things. His future wife has to be carefully chosen. Anyone who can't help him succeed is completely out of the question!" Kate said smugly.
