Madison snapped with fury, “Don’t fabricate stories! I said I didn’t take them–are you trying to frame me?”

“Okay, okay, if you say you didn’t take them, then you didn’t. But I still have to report the truth to Irene. After all, you say your piece, I’ll say mine. And I have witnesses, don’t I?”

“Priscilla, do you just stand by and let her accuse me like this?” Madison demanded.

Priscilla was at a loss for words but internally seething–how dare Madison overstep like this?

She raised her head and said, “The bet did happen. How can you call it a frame–up?”

Madison, used to manipulating her, didn’t expect resistance. Her expression darkened.

Adelaide gripped Priscilla’s flustered wrist and smiled warmly, “Madison’s just joking with you. She’d never deny the bet–she’s actually trying to help. She wants to see if I’m filial, which is why she placed the bet with you.”

“She’s risking her reputation to test you- if word got out that she encouraged an elder to steal wedding gifts, the whole kingdom would know within a month. Gossip spreads like wildfire in the streets.”

After speaking, Adelaide nodded slightly to Madison, “I’m touched that Madison cares so much about my mate’s mother. Given my past reputation, your caution is understandable. I promise to treat Priscilla well and prioritize her opinions.”

“As for the pink diamonds, I planned to give some to Priscilla anyway. After I return to the Warscar Training Camp, I’ll send a batch over. She can do as she pleases with them–I won’t interfere.”

Madison realized Adelaide was offering her an exit.

She had to take it–her hard–earned reputation couldn’t be ruined over a few diamonds.

She also saw how others rallied around Adelaide, and Priscilla’s unexpected backbone made her realize future financial manipulation would be harder.

Deciding to cut her losses, Madison would return the diamonds and keep Priscilla complacent for further gains.
