Comeback Of The Adored Heiress
Chapter 78

It was the distinct sparkle of diamonds, bright and clear.

Everyone fell silent in shock.

They all recognized the ring; it was Josie’s.

The red-haired woman looked utterly confused.

How had the ring ended up with her?

“Well, it appears that being called a ‘friend’ is a pretty good disguise.

We were almost deceived,” Madisyn remarked pointedly.

“No, it can’t be!” Josie exclaimed.

“She wouldn’t steal from me! This must be a setup!”

“The proof is right here.

Who else could have set her up?” Madisyn responded coldly.

“And how can you be so sure it was Susan? You make me think you might have put the ring in Susan’s pocket!”

Josie and her friends felt a deep discomfort from Madisyn’s words, their unease clearly showing.

Kristine interjected swiftly, “Madisyn, it seems there was a misunderstanding.

Please, don’t be upset.

Thankfully, the ring has been found.

”

“A misunderstanding? You were so sure a moment ago that my friend was a thief.

And now, replaceing the ring with your friend, you call it a misunderstanding?” Madisyn said with a smirk.

“Sounds rather hypocritical, doesn’t it?”

Kristine found herself at a loss for words.

Who could have predicted this outcome?

The ring was meant to be found in Susan’s pocket, yet here it was with the woman with red hair.

“Okay, I admit my mistake.

Let’s just move past this,” Josie said, trying to minimize the issue.

However, Madisyn was not ready to let it go so quickly.

“You all were quick to accuse my friend when the ring was lost, smearing her name.

Now that she’s cleared, do you think a simple sentence Like that will do? I want to know why you targeted us when we’ve done nothing to offend you.

”

Guilt flickered in the eyes of Josie’s group.

Anyone with a bit of insight at the event could see what was unfolding now.

Both Josie and the woman with red hair were close to Kristine.

Madisyn’s reappearance likely felt threatening to Kristine, leading her friends to defend her.

Kristine might have even given her friends subtle cues behind the scenes.

Who would have guessed that Kristine, always so poised and understanding, could be capable of such manipulation?

The guests started to look at Kristine with newfound doubt.

Never before had Kristine been seen with such disdainful eyes, as though all her dark secrets were now exposed.

She felt awful; it was the first time her flawless image had taken such a hit.
