The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2704

Imogen's tears came in torrents, her eyes brimming with sorrow as she implored Regina, "Why, Regina? Why would you do this? To you, this bracelet might just be some trinket, but it was the last thing my mother left me. If I've done something to upset you, I'm sorry, okay? But this bracelet means the world to me. Can't you just stop the act? Please, give it back."

Regina, still reeling from the accusation, clutched her wine glass tighter, her smile betraying a hint of panic, "What are you talking about? Bracelet? I haven't seen any bracelet."

Madeline added fuel to the fire, "Did we do something to offend you, Regina? If we've made a mistake, I'm ready to apologize. But please, the bracelet is really important. Quit joking around and give it back to Mom. We're all family here. We can sit down and talk it out, no need for cruel jokes."

If it weren't for the room full of guests, Regina might have burst out laughing.

Madeline kept saying 'we're all family' and suggesting a peaceful talk, but did she really seem like she wanted to talk things out?

It looked like mother and daughter were putting on a show, trying to sling mud at her.

"Enough," Francis finally interjected, his voice tinged with hesitation. But as he saw his wife's tear-stained face, he couldn't help but pat her back in an attempt to soothe her.
