Chapter 7 - The Coward’s Collapse
Realizing that his life of luxury was ending, Daniel grabbed the lead agent's sleeve, his voice cracking into a desperate, cowardly sob.
"It was all her idea!" Daniel yelled, pointing a trembling finger at his mother. "My mother managed the North Vale accounts! She forced me to propose to Maya! I didn't steal the money!"
Eleanor stared at her son in total disbelief, her mouth agape as the boy she had spoiled and protected threw her to the wolves without hesitation.
"You ungrateful coward!" Eleanor screamed at Daniel, lunging toward him before an agent stepped between them, grabbing her arms and forcing them behind her back.
The high-society guests were in utter uproar. High-powered executives and socialites whipped out their phones, filming the entire collapse of the prestigious Whitmore family.
Maya stood in the center of the chaos, perfectly still, her stained gown a symbol of the cruel attack she had survived, and her clean veil a symbol of her unyielding dignity.
