The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2704

Tears streamed down Karen's face as she glanced at Rita. Her voice trembled with emotion as she asked, "Why would you do this, Rita? This bangle might not hold much value to you, but it's the last memento I have of my mother. I'm sorry if I have done anything wrong to you in the past, but this bangle is precious to me. You can't use that to play one of your jokes on me. Please give it back."

Before Rita could firmly grasp what was happening, her grip tightened around the champagne flute. She offered a shocked smile. "What are you talking about? What bangle are you referring to? I didn't see any bangle."

Sadie added fuel to the fire. "Did you do it because I offended you? If I have, then I apologize too. This bangle is very important to my mother. Return it right now. We're family, and we should resolve any differences between us through discussion, not this sick practical joke."

Had it not been for the presence of so many guests, Rita would have erupted in anger. Sadie's statements contradicted their actions, and it seemed that she and Karen were putting on an elaborate performance to besmirch her reputation.

"That's enough. Rita wouldn't do such a thing. There has to be some misunderstanding here." Vince's voice softened, and he instinctively reached out to comfort Karen when he saw her crying.

"I'm not making accusations out of thin air. The surveillance footage speaks for itself. I don't know what happened between me and your daughter, but please help us resolve this quickly. This bangle means a lot to me!" Karen pleaded.
