The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2704
Imogen’s tears came in torrents, her eyes brimming with sorrow as she implored
Regina, “Why, Regina? Why would you do this? To you, this bracelet might just
be some trinket, but it was the last thing my mother left me. If I've done
something to upset you, I'm sorry, okay? But this bracelet means the world to me
Can't you just stop the act? Please, give it back.”
Regina, still reeling from the accusation, clutched her wine glass tighter, her
smile betraying a hint of panic, “What are you talking about? Bracelet? I haven't
seen any bracelet.”
Madeline added fuel to the fire, “Did we do something to offend you, Regina? If
we've made a mistake, I'm ready to apologize. But please, the bracelet is really
important. Quit joking around and give it back to Mom. We're all family here. We
can sit down and talk it out, no need for cruel jokes.”
If it weren't for the room full of guests, Regina might have burst out laughing.
Madeline kept saying “we're all family’ and suggesting a peaceful talk, but did she
really seem like she wanted to talk things out?
It looked like mother and daughter were putting on a show, trying to sling mud at
her.
“Enough,” Francis finally interjected, his voice tinged with hesitation. But as he
saw his wife's tear-stained face, he couldn't help but pat her back in an attempt
to soothe her.
Imogen said, “It's not like I'm framing Regina for anything. The security footage is
right there for all to see. I don't know what kind of beef I could have with Regina.
Please, help me smooth things over. We can't play around with that bracelet!”
Agnes was clearly annoyed, her arms crossed as she retorted icily, “Regina
wouldn't be so thoughtless. Besides, just because you say it's on camera doesn’t
make it so. Could someone have tampered with it?”
She felt a pang of sympathy for her friend Magina’'s daughter, remembering how
when Magina married Francis, she never imagined her own child would one day
be left to fend for herself.
The guests were divided-some siding with Regina, others with Imogen. The
power dynamics within the family were clear, and it seemed Regina had fallen
out of Francis’s favor. Otherwise, what kind of father wouldn't defend his
daughter's reputation?
“Agnes, you're being a bit unfair,” someone countered. “This all happened so
suddenly, so who would have the time to fake it? And we've all seen it-Regina
and Mrs. Tanner have been at odds. It's not impossible that Regina, in a fit of
drunken impulsiveness, wanted to take revenge on Mrs. Tanner.”
Agnes shot the person a glare sharp enough to cut. “I don’t need your input when
