Comeback Of The Adored Heiress
Chapter 76

With just a few words, Kristine had managed to have everyone believe Susan was a thief.

Glenn noticed the disturbance and approached to replace out what was happening.

Kristine quickly briefed him on the situation.

Madisyn addressed her sharply, “Kristine, why the rush to accuse my friend of theft?”

Kristine explained in anxiety, “Madisyn, please don’t get me wrong.

I didn’t say that.

Let’s just address this after the banquet so it doesn’t disrupt your celebration.

”

“I’m telling you, she didn’t take Josie’s ring!” Madisyn said emphatically.

Josie, frustrated by Madisyn’s staunch defense, thought Madisyn lacked proper social grace despite her efforts to maintain decorum.

“Well, let’s search her then.

If we don’t replace the ring, I’ll apologize myself!” Josie asserted.

“But if we do, I’ll have no choice but to involve the police!”

How dare Madisyn still act so haughty at this moment?

If her friend got arrested, she’d definitely hold a grudge against Madisyn!

“If you can’t replace the ring on her, is an apology enough?” Madisyn inquired.

“What do you want then?” Josie snapped back.

“If you can’t replace the ring on her, you owe my friend a million dollars for the emotional distress,” Madisyn said.

A million dollars!

That was overwhelming for Josie, who got just tens of thousands of dollars as a monthly allowance.

Yet, she agreed on the spot.

“Alright, let’s start searching her now!”

After all, she was the one who had had someone slip the ring into Susan’s pocket, confident it would be found there.

Madisyn had to be humiliated this time!

Kristine seemed like she wanted to speak but ended up just sighing in disapproval at Madisyn.

Seeing Josie’s nod, Madisyn turned to Susan.

“Do you trust me, Susan?”

Being publicly accused and searched was degrading, guilty or not.

But Susan realized that without this search, she couldn’t prove her innocence.

And with Madisyn supporting her, she felt protected.

Susan nodded decisively, her lips quivering.

“Okay, I consent to the search.
