Chapter 6 - The Saboteur Returns
Before Grace could reply, the side doors of the ballroom burst open. Vanessa stormed back inside, pushing past the guards with a thick manila folder clutched in her hands. Her hair was wild, her eyes crazed with panic and rage.
"She's a liar, Nathaniel!" Vanessa shouted, holding up the folder for everyone to see. "I knew there was a reason she was hiding in your estate as a maid! I ran a background check on her two weeks ago!"
Grace stepped back, pulling Lily behind her skirts as Vanessa marched toward them.
"Look at these documents!" Vanessa screamed, tossing the papers onto a nearby dining table. "Grace Carter has a criminal record! She was convicted of corporate theft five years ago from the Ashford Lodge account! She's a thief who used your late brother to get money!"
The crowd gasped in horror. Whispers of condemnation swept through the ballroom as guests looked at Grace with newfound disgust. Grace shook her head frantically, her voice breaking. "No! That's not true! I never stole anything!"
