Chapter 5 - The Gala of Scandals
Driven by pure malice, Margaret organized a high-society charity gala at the St. Regis, inviting every major news outlet and socialite in New York under the guise of an "emergency family statement."
Margaret stepped onto the grand stage in front of hundreds of guests, holding a microphone with tears streaming down her face.
"My heart is broken tonight," Margaret announced, her voice echoing over the loudspeakers. "My eldest daughter, Clare, has turned her back on her blood. She left her own sister's wedding in disgrace, and now she is colluding with a dangerous underworld figure—Vincent Callahan—to steal our family trust!"
Gasps erupted across the ballroom as camera flashes blinded the stage.
Evelyn stood beside her mother, holding Julian's arm, putting on a show of weeping innocence for the reporters.
Just as the media began buzzing with outrage, the heavy oak doors of the ballroom swung open.
Clare walked down the marble center aisle wearing a breathtaking backless emerald silk gown, looking majestic, unbothered, and regal. Beside her walked Vincent, looking sharp and formidable in a classic tuxedo.
