Chapter 399: The Million-Dollar Necklace
Hayley’s POV
I knew that for someone like Odessa and Vivian, so driven by vanity, the latest Hermès bags were exactly the kind of thing they craved. One Hermès bag was worth more than ten Chanel bags in their eyes. And now, Thomas was offering me an entire collection of limited-edition pieces. That was enough to ignite jealousy in both of them.
“Any clothes or jewelry you like?” Thomas asked, continuing the conversation.
I pretended to think for a moment before replying, “I’ve heard there’s a collection from Bulgari that includes a necklace worth a million…”
Without a second thought, Thomas turned to his subordinates and ordered, “Go, pack up the store’s prized necklace and send it over as well.”
A necklace worth a million was handed to me just like that, without a hint of hesitation. At this point, Odessa and Vivian were completely stunned. They stared at me, speechless for a long time. I noticed Vivian had hooked her arm through Odessa’s, and they were silently communicating with their eyes.
Odessa’s POV:
I gently patted Vivian’s hand, trying to calm her down. I wanted to see if this man was truly willing to be so generous to Hayley, a lowly Omega.
But just ten minutes later, his bodyguards arrived, carrying large and small bags—each one in an exclusive Hermès pouch—and a beautifully crafted gift box.
He politely asked Hayley, “Ms. Carson, are you happy with everything?”
That little b*tch, Hayley, was so pleased she nearly squinted with joy.
“Thank you for the gift, I really like it.”
“I’m glad you like it,” Thomas said, then turned to me. “So, Mrs. Southwell, would you like to continue shopping?”
But at that moment, I had no interest in shopping. Just looking at those bags made me feel irritated.
If it weren’t for Benjamin’s feelings, I would have gladly handed myself over to my wolf and taught Hayley a lesson she wouldn’t forget.

I answered with irritation, “No, we’re done shopping. We’re going back.”
“Would you like me to have someone take you home?” Thomas asked.
“Yes, please! I’m tired from shopping,” Vivian spoke up before I had a chance to respond.
I shot a displeased glare at Hayley.
Before I came here, I had planned to make Hayley, this lowly Omega, realize the vast difference between her and the Southwells. But unexpectedly, my entire plan was ruined by the sudden appearance of Thomas!
“Thank you,” Hayley said, and Thomas immediately arranged a car to take us back.
On the way back, Hayley seemed to be in a great mood, and seeing her like that only made me more furious.
Once we got home, I couldn’t hold back my frustration and directly warned Hayley, “You’re my son Alpha Benjamin’s mate. You need to keep your distance from other men, do you understand? As the future Luna of our Midnight Pack, how can you accept gifts from other men like this? Don’t you have any sense of shame?”
Hayley smiled, showing no sign of regret, and calmly replied, “I think you’re overthinking this. Mr. Somer and I have known each other for many years, so it’s perfectly reasonable for me to accept a gift from him. Besides, you’ve been shopping all day and must be tired. You don’t need to worry about my affairs. If you feel uncomfortable with me accepting gifts from others, there’s nothing I can do about it. After all, I can’t control your thoughts.”
Her words only fueled the anger rising in me. I bared my sharp wolf fangs at her, growling low, “You do something so shameful, and you have no remorse at all! Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Ben and have him kick you out?”
