Chapter 258

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 outsider’s perspective, Stefan and Renee acted as if they were sworn enemies. However, Ruby’s 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, “What the hell are you saying? Do you know where the bride is?”

“I don’t exactly, but I can make a wild guess as to who is responsible for her disappearance….”

She then used her best acting skills, glancing at Renee nervously, pretending as if she had something she couldn’t 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, “What? Why are you all looking at me? I don’t know anything about this!”

Ruby replied, ’Stop acting, Miss Everheart. I’ve already taken a few photos of your conflict with Miss Smith earlier…”

Upon receiving this new information, the entire hall broke out in a heated discussion.

Xavier, visibly agitated, further questioned Ruby. “Show 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!”

He also thought to himself, ‘I knew that my gut was right! Cecy only disappeared because she was in trouble all along…’

Renee was furious, especially after she was accused of such a heavy crime out of nowhere.

However, she remained calm and said, “That’s right, show us the proof. But I’m warning you, if your so-

called proof isn’t 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.”

Ruby’s eyes were now wavering with slight fear. She hadn’t expected a divorcee to behave in such an aggressive manner.

‘Looks like Charlotte was right… she is a tough one.’

‘But I’ve been in the industry for as long as I can remember! I didn’t receive the title of best actress for nothing!’

Ruby then showed her phone, revealing the photos to everyone in the hall.” When I was passing by the waiting room, I noticed Miss Everheart in an argument with Miss Smith.”

‘ Miss Everheart was trying to snatch a necklace from Miss Smith, to which she refused to hand over!

So the two ended up fighting.”

“Miss Everheart even went as far as to push Miss Smith to the ground, swearing that she wouldn’t allow her to go through with the wedding…”

In an instant, everyone cussed profanities at Renee, pointing at the image in Ruby’s phone.

“This b*tch! How cruel must she be to have to fight a bride on her wedding day?!”

“Is it because she got f*cking ditched? Is that why she can’t bear seeing others happy? She must be evil!”

Even Xavier started angrily questioning her. “Did you say something to Cecy to have made her so angry that she ran off?!”

Facing the endless amounts of insults, Renee calmly explained herself. “I did meet with Miss Smith just now, but we weren’t arguing. She was the one who forced me to take the necklace. She wouldn’t let me refuse, and that’s how the photo came to be.”

“Besides, I have absolutely no clue as to where she is now.”

The guests seemed doubtful about her explanation. Sensing opportunity, Charlotte decided to fuel the fire. “Stop pretending like you’re an innocent bystander, Everheart. Everyone knows just how heartless you can be.”

“You didn’t even let go of Briar, who was pregnant! How could you possibly resist letting go of my cousin’s first love?”

“You definitely knew how my cousin couldn’t move on from Cecy. That’s why you took this chance to take revenge on her!’ Charlotte smiled.

“Cecy and Stefan really did love each other then. It’s 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 there’s a photo of you pushing her to the ground?”
