Chapter 258
Enter titleā¦
The guests gasped in shock as they looked toward the person who was speaking. It was
Ruby, the woman who had managed to win the best actress award last year.
At the time, Ruby was sitting right next to Charlotte, which meant that she was sitting in the
same row as Stefan and Renee.
She kept a low profile the whole time, silently sitting next to them without causing a ruckus.
Hence, she was able to watch as the two interacted with each other.
From an outsiderās perspective, Stefan and Renee acted as if they were sworn enemies.
However, Rubyās sharp observation skills allowed to notice the special relationship between
them, which made their banter seem rather flirtatious.
She was consumed by jealousy, which strengthened her determination to take Renee down.
Xavier quickly dashed towards Ruby, asking hurriedly, āWhat the hell are you saying? Do
you know where the bride is?ā
āI donāt exactly, but I can make a wild guess as to who is responsible for her
disappearanceā¦.ā
She then used her best acting skills, glancing at Renee nervously, pretending as if she had
something she couldnāt say out loud.
Despite this, it was clear that she was trying to accuse Renee, which made everyone turn to
look at the woman.
Renee was initially part of the crowd, so she was confused when the spotlight was turned
upon her instead, āWhat? Why are you all looking at me? I donāt know anything about this!ā
Ruby replied, āStop acting, Miss Everheart. Iāve already taken a few photos of your conflict
with Miss Smith earlierā¦ā
Upon receiving this new information, the entire hall broke out in a heated discussion.
Xavier, visibly agitated, further questioned Ruby. āShow us the proof, then! We can afford to
waste time! If something were to happen to our bride, we might still have time to save her!ā
He also thought to himself, āI knew that my gut was right! Cecy only disappeared because
she was in trouble all alongā¦ā
Renee was furious, especially after she was accused of such a heavy crime out of nowhere.
However, she remained calm and said, āThatās right, show us the proof. But Iām warning
you, if your so-called proof isnāt enough to show that I am responsible for this, or if your
words have the intent to defame me, I will take legal action against you, and make sure you
pay for what you said.ā
Rubyās eyes were now wavering with slight fear. She hadnāt expected a divorcee to behave
in such an aggressive manner.
āLooks like Charlotte was right⦠she is a tough one.ā
āBut Iāve been in the industry for as long as I can remember! I didnāt receive the title of best
actress for nothing!ā
Ruby then showed her phone, revealing the photos to everyone in the hall.ā When I was
passing by the waiting room, I noticed Miss Everheart in an argument with Miss Smith.ā
ā Miss Everheart was trying to snatch a necklace from Miss Smith, to which she refused to
hand over! So the two ended up fighting.ā
āMiss Everheart even went as far as to push Miss Smith to the ground, swearing that she
wouldnāt allow her to go through with the weddingā¦ā
In an instant, everyone cussed profanities at Renee, pointing at the image in Rubyās phone.
āThis b*tch! How cruel must she be to have to fight a bride on her wedding day?!ā
āIs it because she got f*cking ditched? Is that why she canāt bear seeing others happy? She
must be evil!ā
Even Xavier started angrily questioning her. āDid you say something to Cecy to have made
her so angry that she ran off?!ā
Facing the endless amounts of insults, Renee calmly explained herself. āI did meet with
Miss Smith just now, but we werenāt arguing. She was the one who forced me to take the
necklace. She wouldnāt let me refuse, and thatās how the photo came to be.ā
āBesides, I have absolutely no clue as to where she is now.ā
The guests seemed doubtful about her explanation. Sensing opportunity, Charlotte decided
to fuel the fire. āStop pretending like youāre an innocent bystander, Everheart. Everyone
knows just how heartless you can be.ā
āYou didnāt even let go of Briar, who was pregnant! How could you possibly resist letting go
of my cousinās first love?ā
āYou definitely knew how my cousin couldnāt move on from Cecy. Thatās why you took this
chance to take revenge on her!ā Charlotte smiled.
āCecy and Stefan really did love each other then. Itās a commonly known fact! So why would
she ever give you such an important necklace?
Besides, how are we supposed to just brush off the fact that thereās a photo of you pushing
her to the ground?ā
