Chapter 9 - The Last Plea
During a quiet moment near the VIP balcony, a woman in a faded coat approached the security perimeter, frantically waving toward Lily.
It was Victoria Vance. Stripped of her luxury lifestyle, her designer wardrobe, and her high-society status, she looked pale, tired, and desperate.
"Lily! Miss Sterling! Please!" Victoria pleaded through the velvet ropes as two security guards held her back. "My family lost our home! Julian and I have nothing left! Please ask your father to lift the commercial bans!"
Lily walked calmly toward the rope, standing tall before the woman who had once treated her like dirt.
There was no anger or vengeance in Lily’s eyes—only calm, dignified detachment.
"You didn't care when you pushed me into sharp glass," Lily said, her voice clear and firm. "You didn't care when you tried to destroy my dignity for your own amusement. My father didn't destroy your family, Mrs. Vance—your own cruelty did."
Victoria opened her mouth to argue, but she couldn't find a single word to defend her past actions. She lowered her head in deep shame as security escorted her away from the hotel premises forever.
