?Chapter 558:


    With the damning footage, Sharon and Juliana didn’t need to intervene. The thief couldn’t deny it, returning the ne amidst a sea of disapproving stares, tarnishing her reputation. She hung her head, unable to meet the gaze of other guests.


    Kathy smirked, her disdain palpable. In an age of advanced technology, letting someone walk off with the ne was impossible. The sight of these poor rtives of Madeline made her stomach churn. Clutching the ne, Kathy seethed at the thought of losing face in front of Norah. Oh, it would do to give that thief a piece of her mind!


    In the dressing room, Madeline beamed at the recovered ne.


    “Kathy, do a final sweep of your things. The ceremony’s about to begin.”


    As the makeup artist added the finishing touches, Madeline contained her excitement, reminding Kathy with a hint of urgency.


    Kathy secured the ne and began her check. But to her horror, the wedding rings were nowhere to be found.


    Panic set in. How did this happen?


    Zara had left, leaving Urs behind with her children.


    “Could something else have gone missing? Madeline, your future sister-inw seems rather unreliable. Why did you entrust her with something so important?” Urs’s cutting remark caught Kathy off guard. She hadn’t anticipated that the rings would vanish after her retrieving the ne.


    “The wedding rings are gone!” Madeline’s panic mirrored Kathy’s. The rings symbolized everything about the wedding. How could they simply disappear?

    “Kathy, search again. They were there before you left.”


    “Yes, did anyone enter the dressing room after I left? They must still be here.”


    “No, only Urs and Zara stopped by to see me.” Kathy fixed Urs with a pointed stare. “Well, that narrows it down to either Urs or Zara!”


    “Kathy, you’re using without evidence!” Urs unleashed a torrent of harsh words in front of her children, leaving Kathy speechless.


    In the end, under Madeline’s mediation, Kathy retrieved the ring box from Lucian’s pocket.


    Lucian hid behind his mother, muttering, “I just thought it was pretty and wanted to give it to Mom.”


    He showed no concern for the distress he had caused Kathy and Madeline. His earlier endearing demeanor was merely a ploy to lower the adults’ guard.


    Madeline’s expression hardened as she escorted Urs and her children out, nursing resentment. Not everyone in the family had her best interests at heart.
