Taking this chance, the man pretended to trip and fall, and the moment was captured with

Christopher�s phone.

The photo was able to prove that Renee�s words had some truth in them, as it looked uncannily similar to the photo of her and Cecelia�s �fight.�

�As you can see, it might not have been a fight at all. It might really be due to the fact that Miss Everheart was refusing to accept something. So, this shows that she could be telling the truth.� Christopher said, clearly defending Renee.

Only then was the woman able to realize their efforts. She looked towards Stefan with eyes filled with gratitude but was somehow unable to say a single thanks.

However, Stefan still looked rather smug. �You don�t have to thank me. If the myth is true, then we�d be bound for life. You�ll have plenty of chances to thank me.�

Renee was speechless. �Oh god, I need to get myself checked. Why the heck would I ever expect anything good from him?!�

�He�s basically just a big sly fox. He can dream if he thinks he can trap me with a mere ring!�

Ruby had not expected Stefan to step in and defend Renee, let alone the groom himself. For a moment, her mind completely ran out of tricks.

After falling silent for a few seconds, she spoke up once more. �But I saw Miss Everheart throwing that necklace into the sea! She might really hold resentment towards Miss Smith, which gives her the motive to harm the bride!�

Renee nodded. �I did throw that necklace away because Miss Smith told me I could deal with it however I wanted. I didn�t want to hold onto it anyway, so I just threw it away.�

Xavier snapped. �So you admit it! Do you know how important that necklace is to Cecy?! You god-damned witch!�

Renee shrugged. �I have no idea.�

She then thought to herself, �It�s just some token of their love, right? If it really was that important, why would she force it onto me then?�

Stefan�s expression grew colder as well. �How could you throw it away?!�

Just as Renee was about to retort, one of the employees came running over, audibly distressed.

�Help! Help! This is bad!�

Everyone immediately looked toward the employee.

The male employee�s forehead was covered in sweat, as he tried his best to catch his breath. �The� winding bank� We found Miss Smith�s shoe around the cliffside of the winding bank! She must�ve fallen into the ocean!�

The winding bank was quite a famous sightseeing spot within the area, as it was formed by a short mountain range in the shape of the letter �C.� Moreover, it was known for its treacherous terrains as well. JrNovels.com
