Chapter 2703Chapter 2703
The Tanners were certainly not so down on their luck that they couldn't afford the loss of a mere bracelet. Imogen must have lost
her mind, bringing up a lost bracelet at such a time!
Francis forced a smile and said, “Agnes, it’s just a bracelet, nothing to fuss over. We've all had a hearty dinner, and it’s getting
late. Why don’t we all head home and get some rest?”
All he wanted was to get rid of the onlookers so they wouldn't gossip about the Tanners the next day.
But to his surprise, Imogen, with a sob in her voice, stood up and said to Agnes, “It’s true what they say; women understand
each other’s hearts best. That bracelet was a keepsake from my mother, a memento to remember her by. | wouldn’t have made
such a scene otherwise. | know none of you are short of a dime, but perhaps it was merely misplaced. Everyone’s here, maybe
we could all help look for it. Two heads are better than one, right? Francis, isn’t that reasonable?”
Imogen was determined to have the guests stay.
Francis, with a genial smile that betrayed nothing, simply warned her, “Keep it together.”
Since Imogen had mentioned her mother, it would have been rude for the guests to leave.
The room was full of sharp individuals, and even if they didn’t care for Imogen, they had to save face for Mrs. Tanner’s title.
Only Regina stood aloof, her expression indifferent, sipping on a glass of champagne, staying out of the center of attention and
hoping to go unnoticed.
Who knew what kind of game Imogen was playing tonight? Ever since she had entered the Tanners’ lives, every move she made
grated on Regina.
Despite playing the devoted wife in front of Francis, Imogen showed her true colors wh they were alone.
Regina would never forget the day she thought she had a new mother, and Imogen had smiled and told her, “You're the girl with
the dead mother. Be smart and behave.”
Regina was young then and eager to please this new member of the family, but she never expected to hear such wicked words
from Imogen.
Since then, she knew Imogen was not a kind person, nor someone she could grow close
Unfortunately, her father was completely blind to it, and her distance was mistaken for ingratitude.
Madeline stood by demurely, the picture of the Tanner family’s second daughter, enough to fool anyone who didn’t know her true
nature.
But Regina couldn't fathom why she would do this.novelbin

Francis’s frown deepened, but he maintained a strained smile for the guests. It was already embarrassing enough for the family.
Just then, a servant approached with a tablet and said, “We've found a surveillance video related to Madam’s bracelet.”
