He knew Mrs. Herd rarely bought pearl necklaces, as she preferred jade gemstones. Now that pearl cultivation was so common, Mrs. Herd seldom wore them, so the necklace must not be from her.
And as for people who Mrs. Herd knew that gifted her jewelry, she would rarely accept them. And even if she did, they were usually gemstones she liked.
Only Ruka Glenn would give such a pearl necklace because she liked to be "unique".
The key was that it wasn't expensive, just a "small gift", which made it difficult for Mrs. Herd to refuse.
Mrs. Herd said softly, "I... I quite like it... this necklace is exquisitely made... just for fun."
Ethan narrowed his eyes, "Do I need another broken necklace from you? Take it off and throw it away. Don't dawdle."
When Ethan got angry, he didn't care who you were, even if you were his mother.
Mrs. Herd couldn't bear it and gritted her teeth: "Fine, I'll throw it away... hmph."
