Comeback Of The Adored Heiress
Chapter 30

As Madisyn descended the stairs, the sound of sobbing reached her ears.

“It wasn’t me, I swear!” Fiona, the maid who had just served Madisyn the previous day, was kneeling on the floor, tears streaming down her face.

“Mrs.

Johns, I never took the necklace.

Please believe me.

”

Curious, Madisyn stepped closer and asked, “What’s all this about?”

Kristine sighed deeply before responding, “Fiona’s stolen my necklace.

Fiona, I understand your brother is sick.

If money is the issue, I’m here to help, but theft is not the solution.

”

“Mrs.

Johns, I’m innocent.

I don’t know how the necklace ended up in my room,” Fiona insisted, her voice choked with emotion.

Elaine looked on, her brow furrowed with worry.

Fiona had been a loyal employee for many years, making the situation hard for Elaine to accept.

Lynda, however, was stern and resolved.

She stated coldly, “Enough.

You were caught with the evidence.

No more excuses-take your story to the police.

”

Despair etched itself deeply across Fiona’s features as she faced the accusation.

Having devoted years of service to the Johns family, who

m she deeply cared for, she never imagined she might one day be cast aside as a thief.

The world seemed to darken before her eyes.

Madisyn spoke up, her voice resonant with conviction.

“Fiona is innocent.

I saw her walking out of the living room yesterday.

”

Before Madisyn could continue, Kristine cut in sharply, “Madisyn, she might have taken it earlier.

People like her will do anything for money.

You shouldn’t defend her.

”

Lynda, her face tight with displeasure, was resolute.

“Just take her away!”

Tears streaming, Fiona grasped at Madisyn’s leg, her plea punctuated by sobs.

“Miss, I swear on my life-I didn’t take anything!”

Madisyn turned her gaze sharply towards Kristine.

“You claim she stole from you.

Where’s your proof?”

Kristine was taken aback by Madisyn’s defense of a servant, her discomfort apparent.

“The necklace was found in her roomwhat more proof do you need? Madisyn… Are you implying that I am falsely accusing her of stealing?”

As Kristine spoke, her eyes dropped, a show of wounded innocence that tugged at Lynda’s sympathies.

Kristine’s recent dance performance had endeared her further to Lynda.

Lynda’s eyes narrowed as she addressed Madisyn.

“Kristine is your sister.

It’s unbecoming to challenge her over a maid!”

“Oh? So, we ignore potential wrongs because of family ties?” Madisyn countered sharply.

“Your sister is a kind person,” Lynda said, her frown deepening.

“We’ve known each other for years.

She wouldn’t harm even an animal, much less falsely accuse someone.
