Chapter 12 - The Trap at the Press Conference
At 4:00 PM that afternoon, Wendy Vance held a grand press conference in the ballroom of the city's grandest hotel to officially announce the "joyous return" of her long-lost son and the establishment of a new family trust for her newborn granddaughter.
Dozens of journalists, news cameras, and high-society figures filled the room. Wendy stood at the mahogany podium in an elegant navy dress, flashing a radiant, practiced smile for the flashing cameras.
"Family is the foundation of the Vance legacy," Wendy announced smoothly into the microphones. "And today, I am thrilled to welcome my son, Luca, back into the fold as the rightful heir to Vance Global—"
Suddenly, the side doors of the ballroom burst open.
Luca walked down the center aisle, wearing a simple dark suit, carrying a black leather briefcase. Beside him walked Jessi, holding baby Fiona securely in a chest carrier, surrounded by four federal agents wearing dark suits and yellow-lettered jackets.
