I stepped on the broken glass and gave them a final warning.
"All of my things are valuable. Before you smash them, think about whether you can afford to pay for them."
Alice took out a string of pearls from the drawer and smashed them in front of me as if in protest.
"I've smashed it, what can you do to me?"
My pupils shrank slightly. I spent three million dollars to buy this pearl necklace.
"Each pearl of this necklace seems to cost one hundred thousand dollars," a neighbor who knew the value of it came forward and said in shock.
One hundred thousand dollars for each pearl?
There were dozens of them in this string!
Alice didn't expect it to be so expensive, and she stood there in a daze for a moment.
I was about to speak when the streamers started shouting.
"Alice, what's wrong? It was bought with your husband's money."
"This is the common property of you and your husband. You can dispose of it as you please. Is it wrong to smash your things? Am I right?"
The streamers' words immediately gave Alice confidence.
"That's right, all of them were bought with my husband's money. Rather than giving them to you and your daughter, I'd better smash them!"
