Chapter 1020
Madeline remained cool. “Something must’ve happened in the middle. Don’t fret, I’ll go take a look.”
Ryan followed after. “I’ll come with you, Eveline.”
“Alright.” Madeline turned around.
She had just taken a few steps when Eve from the jewelry department rushed over frantically with a shout. “Ms. Montgomery! Something bad has happened!”
Madeline could guess that Eve was referring to the funds, but with Eve shouting, everyone in the banquet hall turned to look.
“What happened?” someone asked curiously.
Madeline was about to placate the guests when Eve frantically replied, “Someone stole from the charity funds, Ms. Montgomery. 30 million dollars have vanished into mid-air.”
“What? Someone stole from the charity funds?”
“How could such a thing happen?”
“We have to find out who did it. How could someone be so heartless as to steal from funds raised for charity?”
The guests were shocked and furious.
Jeremy and Lana had just returned to the banquet hall when they watched the scene before them unfurl.
He could tell that it was a set-up for Madeline.
At that moment, the banquet hall erupted into chaos.
Most of them were angry, and it was only normal for some of them to fault Madeline for her inability to manage the funds. Some even said that if Eloise and Sean were still here, none of this would have happened. They claimed that as Madeline was still new to all this, she only had the right to take over but not the right to take up such an important role.
