Chapter 15
Meanwhile, the wedding reception had become the subject of conversation among the guests.
Some were angry.
Some were embarrassed.
Others were simply fascinated by what they had witnessed.
But Callum's courage was mentioned repeatedly.
One guest had seen the entire confrontation.
Another had heard Bernice's accusation.
Several had watched the ring fall from Daniel's pocket.
Nobody could deny what happened.
The truth had been visible to everyone.
Daniel's actions became the center of attention.
He had been questioned.
The bride had refused to continue the celebration.
The wedding had effectively ended.
Daniel later admitted that he had taken the ring.
He had intended to use it to solve a financial problem.
But his explanation did little to repair the damage.
The bride returned the ring to her family.
She also refused to speak to Daniel privately.
The wedding guests eventually left.
The ballroom emptied.
The flowers remained.
