?Chapter 552:


    “Kathy, please keep the rings and ne. They’re extremely important.”


    Kathy, with a slight bulge in her belly, diligently checked the items while the two bridesmaids and groomsmen discussed the proceedings with the emcee. Sharon and Adrian had been busy entertaining guests in the hall. Today, Madeline hadn’t had the time to see the two of them.


    “Wait, Madeline, are you sure you’ve handed me the ne? I’ve found the rings, but I didn’te across the ne.”


    As Derek’s younger sister, Kathy was tasked with assisting at the wedding. She had volunteered to help, including safeguarding the rings and ne, and all of the bride’s belongings were entrusted to her care. Without opening her eyes, Madeline casually instructed, “Keep searching.”


    As Kathy counted again, her expression darkened. “I still can’t find it.”


    “Derek bought it for me. It cost around one million! How could you not find it?”


    Madeline shrugged off the makeup artist’s hand and fixed Kathy with a re. “Are you sure?” Kathy’s hands trembled.


    She couldn’t afford to lose jewelry worth about one million. She recalled taking the ne and then heading to the bathroom. Apart from that, her purse had remained with her.


    How could the ne have gone missing?


    “Madeline, please remain calm. Let the makeup artist finish your makeup first. I’ll continue searching.” While Kathy spoke, she discreetly stashed the valuable rings away. They were authentic and worth millions. Aware of the stakes, losing them was a risk she couldn’t afford to take.

    With thoughts of the missing ne weighing heavily on her mind, Kathy felt increasingly flustered.


    “There are cameras here. Don’t worry. I’ll check the security footage. The person who took the ne won’t get away!”


    Gazing at the high-definition cameras in the corner of the room, Kathy felt slightly reassured. With such clear footage, she was confident they could identify the culprit. Upon hearing this, Madeline closed her eyes and leaned back. “Then I’ll leave it to you. Kathy, you understand your responsibility. Please retrieve my ne.” If she were to lose a ne worth about one million, it would surely break her heart.


    With her family facing financial difficulties, she relied on Derek to buy luxury items for her, unable to afford such extravagances independently.


    Zara and Urs entered the room with two kids. Zara had already presented Madeline with gifts upon her arrival. As she gazed at the radiant and elegant Madeline, a hint of envy flickered in her eyes.


    Madeline, being the cherished daughter of their parents, was adored for her beauty and charming demeanor. Both Zara and Urs couldn’t help but envy her for being favored by their parents.


    Urs nudged her two kids gently and prompted, “Why are you just standing there? Say hello to Aunt Zara and Aunt Madeline.”
