Chapter 10 - The Unseen Truth

An hour later, the commotion downstairs had settled, and the charity gala resumed under Marco's supervision. Upstairs in the quiet VIP suite, Isabella was resting peacefully in bed, holding a warm cup of herbal tea.

Sophie was in the adjoining private sitting room, drying her dark hair with a soft towel after changing into a clean set of dark clothes provided by the estate staff.

Lorenzo entered the room carrying a thin leather file. He placed it on the mahogany table between them.
