Despite Joey being aware of the family tradition and the woman’s intention to give the necklace to Emily, things took an unexpected turn during a Christmas gift discussion.
Joey suggested that his daughter, Sophia, should receive the emerald jewelry instead, framing it as a gesture of the woman’s acceptance of Sophia as her daughter. Uncomfortable with this idea, the woman explained that Emily knew about the family tradition and was eagerly anticipating receiving the necklace. However, Joey remained stubborn and refused to reconsider.
He went on to accuse his wife of favoritism, labeling her as selfish and insisting she could easily buy another necklace for Emily on Amazon. Undeterred, the woman stood her ground, affirming that the family heirloom would go to Emily, regardless of Joey’s opinion.
Clearly displeased with the woman’s refusal to change her mind, Joey resorted to giving her the silent treatment, except when the children were present.
