A Rich Heir Slapped His Wealthy Bride At Their Gala

Mark rushed to his aunt's side to see what was happening. The missing diamond necklace was an heirloom covered by a massive life insurance policy. It was supposed to be passed down to Mark's future wife on her wedding day. Victoria followed closely behind Mark, her voice raised in dramatic panic for everyone to hear. She immediately pointed her long manicured finger straight at Sarah, who was standing near the tray setup.

Victoria: It was her! I saw that maid near the VIP room just five minutes ago!

Sarah: That is not true! I was refilling water glasses by the kitchen door!

Victoria: She is lying! Check her apron pockets right now before she hides it!

The guests began to whisper among themselves as two security guards stepped forward. Sarah backed away against the table, her eyes filling up with big hot tears of embarrassment. She had never stolen anything in her life and could not believe this was happening. She looked at Mark with wide, helpless eyes, begging him silently to believe her word. Mark stood frozen between his rich bride and the trembling young maid who worked in his home.

Sarah: Please, Mr. Mark! I swear on my mother's life I did not touch it!

Victoria: Do not listen to her pathetic excuses, Mark! Search her clothes!

Mark: Everyone just calm down for one second. Let security handle this properly.

Victoria: There is no time for that! She probably passed it to an accomplice!

Victoria stepped forward aggressively, reaching out to grab Sarah's apron to humiliate her further. But as Victoria lunged forward, her arm brushed against a waiter carrying a tray of iced juice. The waiter stumbled slightly, forcing Victoria to catch her balance against a chair. In the quick sudden movement, her expensive silver clutch purse slipped out from under her arm. The heavy purse dropped onto the marble floor with a loud metallic thud that echoed everywhere. The latch popped open just an inch, exposing a bright glitter from inside the lining.

Sarah caught her breath and pointed down at the glowing reflection inside the open bag. Mark's eyes widened as he noticed the specific blue sparkle of his family's diamond necklace. The room grew completely silent as everyone realized what was sitting inside Victoria's private purse. Victoria froze in her spot, her face turning completely white as her secret was put on display. She reached down fast to grab the purse, but Mark stepped over and grabbed her arm firmly.

Mark: Stay right where you are, Victoria. Do not touch that bag.

Victoria: Mark, honey! I can explain! She must have planted it in my purse!

Sarah: I never came near your bag, ma'am! Everyone saw you holding it all night!

Victoria: Shut your mouth, you foolish girl!

Mark picked up the silver purse from the cold floor and pulled it wide open under the lights. The two million dollar diamond necklace sat inside, wrapped around Victoria's gold lipstick tube. Gasps of horror broke out across the crowd of high society friends and family members. Victoria had tried to frame an innocent working woman to cover up her own terrible greed. Mark felt a surge of pure anger rise up from his chest as he stared at her.
