Chapter 4: The Choice Between Justice and Revenge
Police officers escorted Victor away in handcuffs.
Reporters flooded the ballroom within minutes.
Every television network interrupted its programming.
"The Billionaire Wedding Scandal."
"The Bride Who Exposed an Empire."
"The Poison That Revealed the Truth."
Yet Adrian never looked at the cameras.
His eyes stayed on Evelyn.
"You could have given me the evidence."
"We could have fought him together."
For the first time that day...
Evelyn cried.
Real tears.
"I wanted to."
"Every single day."
"But I couldn't trust anyone with your last name."
Adrian lowered his head.
"I never knew what my father had done."
"I would never have protected him."
The maid stepped forward.
"I believe him."

He paid medical bills without asking for recognition.
He wasn't his father.
Evelyn realized the painful truth.
In trying to punish one monster...
