Comeback Of The Adored Heiress
Chapter 34

Madisyn’s gaze, icy and pointed, shifted to Kristine.

“Kristine, don’t you think you should apologize now?”

Kristine’s posture stiffened under the scrutiny, but she managed to muster an apologetic tone.

“I’m sorry, Madisyn.

I should have investigated properly.

”

“You shouldn’t be apologizing to me,” Madisyn retorted sharply.

Apologize to Fiona? But she was just a maid… Was that really necessary?

Yet, with the eyes of everyone in the room upon her, pride had to be swallowed.

“Fiona, I’m sorry for wrongly accusing you.

”

“The bet?” Madisyn interjected, a reminder hanging in the air.

Kristine remembered her rash wager.

Her entire collection of jewelry was now Fiona’s.

The collection of jewelry, amassed over the years and worth millions of dollars, was now a token of her costly mistake.

Reluctantly, she instructed someone to bring her jewelry pieces to Fiona.

Fiona accepted the jewelry pieces without hesitation.

Having been wrongly accused, she felt no obligation to decline the gesture.

As she rose to leave,

Madisyn interjected, “Just a moment.

”

She stepped forward, a proposition ready.

“Fiona, would you like to stay and be my personal maid?”

Surprised, Fiona looked at Madisyn.

The first time she saw Madisyn, she had found her endearing.

After a brief consideration, Fiona agreed.

“Sure!”

Madisyn’s slight smile was mirrored by Elaine’s pleased expression.

“Fiona, you are attentive and considerate.

We’d hate to see you go.

So from now on, you’ll look after Madisyn.

”

“Thank you, Mrs.

Johns,” Fiona responded gratefully.

Elaine then turned a stern gaze on Lynda.

“Lynda, I know you’re close with Kristine, but I treat all my children equally.

I have full confidence that Madisyn isn’t the type of person to harm another.

”

“I understand,” Lynda, embarrassed, murmured.

While Elaine resolved to uncover the true thief, Kristine immediately volunteered, “Mom, let me make things right by doing the investigation personally.

”

“Very well!” Elaine agreed.

Feeling the weight of awkwardness, Lynda made a quick exit.

As the tension in the room dissipated, Madisyn headed towards the exit.

Elaine, noticing her departure, inquired with a touch of curiosity, “Sweetheart, where are you off to? Would you like me to come with you?”
