What would have happened to Matilda if she had confessed to her friend that she had lost her necklace?

If Matilda would have confessed to her friend that she had lost her necklace, she might have been in the trouble which she was going through. She had to face more troubles than what she was facing after having replaced the necklace. Her friend would certainly have been annoyed with her. Most possibly, she would have asked Matilda to replace it. She would have given her all the details from where she had purchased the necklace and how much it was of. Matilda would thus have known that the jewels in the necklace were not real diamonds. Matilda would thus have saved herself and her husband from all the trouble they had gone through.
