**Through Unseen Doors We Step Into Untold Worlds Beyond by Sage Hunter Lane**
“N, am I not providing you with enough money? Why on earth would you resort to something like this?!” rk’s voice was a mix of anger and confusion, echoing through the bustling banquet hall.
N cast a fleeting nce at him, her heart racing as she registered the unfamiliar fury burning in his eyes. There was a wildness there, a desperation that hinted at the lengths he might go to if they weren’t surrounded by a crowd. She could almost envision him seizing her by the neck, demanding answers as if she were a criminal caught red-handed.
A smile crept onto her lips, one that held a hint of irony. “rk, you’ve really transformed, haven’t you?”
Once upon a time, he had ced unwavering trust in her, a trust that now seemed to have eroded into suspicion, as if he believed she was capable of thievery. It was astonishing how a shift in the heart could blind someone to the truth.
With a deliberate slowness, N retrieved the diamond ne from her bag, lifting it high for Jacqueline to see. “Ms. Rainford, take a good look at this. Is this your ne? If I recall correctly, Ms. Hulle described your ne’s pendant as a swan, encrusted with diamonds, didn’t she?”
The ne sparkled under the bright lights, a delicate heart-shaped pink diamond that was a world away from Erin’s description. This was the very ne N had chosen to wear to the event, a piece that had drawnpliments rather than suspicion.
Jacqueline’s eyes widened, disbelief etched across her face. “Impossible! My ne must still be in your bag!”
With a calm demeanor, N extended the bag toward her. “Why don’t you check for yourself?”
Jacqueline seized the bag, her fingers trembling with urgency as she rifled through its contents, tossing items aside in a frenzy. But despite her frantic efforts, the ne remained elusive, hidden from her grasp.
There was nothing. How could this be? How could there be nothing at all?!
As she observed Jacqueline’s mounting panic, N’s smile deepened, a mix of satisfaction and pity. “Ms. Rainford, have you found it yet?”
Jacqueline’s expression morphed into one of pure rage. “You must have hidden it somewhere else! Where is it? Give it back to me!”
N raised an eyebrow, feigning innocence. “Ms. Rainford, doesn’t that sound utterly absurd? You were the one who confidently asserted that your ne had a tracker and that the signal wasing from my bag. And now, when you can’t locate it, you think it’s hidden elsewhere?” She paused, letting her words sink in. “If you have a tracker, surely you should be able to find the ne, right? Why not give it another go?”
The color drained from Jacqueline’s face as she tightened her grip on N’s bag, a flicker of doubt crossing her features.
Around them, the crowd began to piece together the unfolding drama: Jacqueline had attempted to frame N by nting her ne in N’s bag, but N had skillfully turned the tables on her.
Disdainful nces began to ripple through the onlookers, directed squarely at Jacqueline. She was reaping the consequences of her own underhanded tactics, and it was a sight to behold.
Biting her lip in silence, Jacqueline’s frustration bubbled beneath the surface, while N maintained her calm demeanor. “Ms. Rainford, you made a promise. If your ne isn’t in my bag, you said you would kneel and apologize, correct?”
Jacqueline’s response was a sharp, defiant shout. “Shut up! I’m not kneeling to you!”
Tom, who had been a silent observer until now, finally broke his silence, his voice firm and authoritative. “Jacqueline, that’s enough!”
Though he had seen through Jacqueline’s scheme, Tom, who had grown up with her as his childhood sweetheart and first love, felt a pang of protectiveness. He couldn’t bear to see her humiliated in front of so many people.
Turning to rk, he said, “Mr. Sumner, this is Jacqueline’s fault. I apologize on her behalf. Whateverpensation Mrs. Sumner desires, I will ensure it is provided. Please, let’s not escte this any further.”
Before rk could respond, N couldn’t help but chuckle, raising an eyebrow at Tom. “What kind of rtionship do you have with Ms. Rainford that gives you the authority to apologize on her behalf? And just to rify, I don’t needpensation. What I want is for Ms. Rainford to uphold her word.”
Tom’s expression darkened, frustration etched across his features. “I thought you were a reasonable person, Mrs. Sumner.”
“Being reasonable doesn’t mean being a doormat. If I don’t stand my ground now, people will think they can trample over me,” N shot back, her resolve hardening.
rk felt a pang of guilt twist in his stomach as he realized the gravity of his earlier misjudgment.
Yet, he was acutely aware that the Sumner Group had numerous business dealings with Gen Pharma. Offending Tom could jeopardize their future coborations, and it seemed prudent to appease him now for the sake of business.
“N, why don’t we let this go? You didn’t suffer any loss, and Mr. Genge has offeredpensation. How about Ms. Rainford simply apologizes?” rk suggested, his tone measured.
N found his suggestionughable. rk had learned to weigh the pros and cons too, but this time, she was the one being sacrificed on the altar of convenience.
Just as she was about to respond, a cold,manding voice sliced through the tension from the entrance of the banquet hall. “Framing the Sumners for theft and expecting a simple apology to settle matters? Mr. Genge, do you truly believe the Sumners are fools?”
The atmosphere shifted as all eyes turned toward the neer, anticipation hanging thick in the air.Conclusion
