The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2705

Nobody expected Agnes to stand up for Regina like that, and the other party fell silent. After all, in the unpredictable world of the stock market, no one had the kind of confidence that Agnes' family displayed.

"Francis, we've known each other for so many years. If not for old time's sake, let's put today's incident behind us. Besides, you know she would never do such a thing. You ought to trust your own daughter a bit more."

Francis knew that Agnes was one of Magina's closest friends from back in the day. Her words were a reminder of the love that once blossomed between them.

But Imogen was sobbing uncontrollably. Could it really be that this was the heirloom her mother had left for her?

With hesitation, Francis looked at Regina and said, "Regina, tell me the truth, and I trust you completely."

Regina stared at her father in disbelief. He said he trusted her, but here he was, throwing the question at her in front of everyone. Wasn't this the epitome of distrust?

It took her a moment before she could muster a bitter smile. "Dad, what kind of answer do you expect from me?"

"I just want to know if you've been in Imogen's room, if you've touched that bracelet. That bracelet means the world to Imogen. Even if you have issues with her, you absolutely cannot..."

"Cannot what? Before I even get a chance to explain, you've already decided I'm the culprit. What do you want me to say? Dad, I still call you 'dad'. Do you even consider me your daughter?"

Agnes couldn't stand it any longer and pulled Regina to her side. "There are other ways to investigate this. Maybe Regina wasn't even there at the time in question. If we're going to look into this, let's do it thoroughly."
