Unfortunately She lost the necklace in the ball, they had to replace it at any cost ,so her husband bought a diamond necklace of worth thirty six thousand dollars.

It ruined their life they turned poor and lost all of their hopes to live a happy life, as they bought the diamond necklace for 36,000 dollars by loan .They spent 10 years to pay the loan .
