Chapter 4 - Panic in the Ballroom
The entire dining room fell into a heavy, suffocating silence as Ethan reached out with a gentle, trembling hand to touch the silver pendant.
Victoria’s loud, arrogant laughter instantly vanished. Her face drained of all color as she looked at Ethan, then at the helpless waitress she had just humiliated.
"Mr. Blackwood... she’s... she’s your family?!" Victoria stammered, her voice cracking into a high-pitched, terrified whisper.
The restaurant manager’s knees buckled behind her. His face turned as white as the linen tablecloths as he realized he had just threatened and insulted the billionaire owner's long-lost daughter.
"Family?" Ethan asked, his tone turning into an icy, terrifying whisper as he turned his gaze toward Victoria and the manager. "She is my daughter. The only heir to everything I own."
Victoria stumbled backward, knocking over a dining chair as her wealthy friends gasped in shock.
"Mr. Blackwood, I didn't know!" Victoria cried out frantically, trying to fix her posture. "She was dressed as a server! It was an accident! I'll pay for the broken wine glass myself!"
Ethan stared at her with complete, unyielding coldness.
