The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2707
The crowd was somewhat taken aback; nobody expected Regina to still be able
to flash a smile after what she'd been through, let alone engage in light-hearted
banter.
In their hearts, an undeniable sentiment emerged: Regina was unmistakably still
the true
Miss Tanner.
But at the back, Madeline was fuming, her lips twisted in anger. Why should
Regina steal the spotlight like this?
What an utterly shameless woman, Madeline thought. To be accused of swiping
her own mother’s bracelet and still have the nerve to laugh about it? Regina's
mental fortitude was certainly something else.
“Are you trying to muddy the waters, Regina? You owe our mother an
explanation,” she
hissed.
Glancing over at Madeline, it was no wonder she was considered a knock-off.
Did these outsiders really need to stick around and wait for the family to sort out
their mess? Even if Regina had indeed smashed her bracelet, what did it have to
do with any of the guests? They had already shown enough respect to the
Tanner family by staying this long. Now, Regina had gracefully suggested they
leave, yet here was Madeline stirring the
pot.
“Let's cut to the chase, shall we? Regina breaking some mistress’s bracelet isn't
exactly the crime of the century, is it? Huh?” Daphne Olsen spoke up, a longtime
friend of Regina. Daphne had been itching to stand up for Regina but had been
silenced until now.
As she found her moment, both Francis and Imogen’s faces turned sour, while
Madeline reacted as if her tail had been stepped on, abandoning any pretense of
being the well-mannered Tanner heiress.
“You can't expect pearls of wisdom to fall from a dog's mouth. What are you
blabbering about? Who are you to talk like that, and who let you into our home!”
Madeline screeched. Regina stepped in front of Daphne, ready to retort, but her
father beat her to it, scolding Madeline sharply.
“Who raised you to be so impolite? This is Miss Olsen of the Olsen family-I
invited her here myself!”
The Olsens were a notch above the Tanners, and had it not been for the
connection between Regina and the family, the Tanners would have lost their
business dealings with them long ago. They were certainly not a family the
Tanners could afford to offend.

Madeline had really stepped in it this time. Her face turned beet red, words failing
her.
How was she to know this sharp-tongued woman was none other than the
esteemed
Miss Olsen?
Even more bewildering to her was the friendship between Regina and Daphne,
seeing the protective stance Regina took.

With that, Madeline was metaphorically slapped across the face in front of the
whole gathering.
No matter how hard she tried to blend in, her roots as a nouveau riche were
evident. She wasn't from the same world, and no amount of pretending could
change that.
