Chapter 9 - The Birthday Cake
Sophie wiped the tears from her eyes and nodded, smiling brightly at her father. She didn't fully understand the massive corporate takeover that had just happened, but she knew the mean lady was gone forever.
Suddenly, the kitchen doors swung open.
The entire waitstaff, completely relieved that the tyrannical manager was finally gone, walked out into the dining room carrying a massive, beautiful, three-tier chocolate birthday cake covered in glowing candles. They all sang "Happy Birthday" enthusiastically, genuinely happy to serve the incredible man who had just saved their jobs.
The wealthy VIP guests throughout the restaurant actually stood up and clapped, entirely respecting the brilliant, ruthless undercover trap the billionaire father had flawlessly executed.
Daniel smiled, genuinely happy, watching his beautiful daughter blow out the candles in the warm, cozy red leather booth.
Six months later, Vanessa was officially sentenced to five years in federal prison for massive corporate embezzlement. She was entirely stripped of her high-society connections, forced to rot in a concrete cell while the city completely forgot her name.
