Chapter 470

"I was the one that night!" Renee's voice rang out, bold and unwavering. Her tone was full of certainty.

Fawn's expression turned cold. Confidence was a quality she admired, but when used to press a lie, it became the fastest way to lose her favor.

Olivia took a slow sip of wine. With a sly smile, she said, "Is that so? Ms. Monroe, why don't you share some details? You wouldn't believe how many people have made the same claim this week. Mom has been getting whiplash from all those people."

Madison instantly felt uneasy. Trying to salvage the situation, she jumped in and said, "If Mrs. Reid says Renee isn't, I must have made a mistake then. There were many people that night, so it's understandable to make a mistake."

"It's no mistake. It was me!" Renee repeated firmly.

At this point, Madison wanted to cry. Why wouldn't Renee take the hint? Madison's plan to curry favor with the Reid family and Renee's family had failed.

Still oblivious, Renee started talking about what happened that night. She said, "I saw Mrs. Reid in the corridor. You were on your way to choose a mask, and I accompanied you. After that, we went into the banquet hall together.

"Because I came with a few friends, we split up after entering the hall. Later, I was put in a difficult spot by Ms. Wyndham, who was invited by Mrs. Dawson.

I wanted to leave, but I realized that there wasn't any signal and that the door was locked. Mrs. Reid, don't you remember? We snuck out through the side exit together."
