The doors opened slowly as a woman in a stunning gold gown adorned with diamonds descended the staircase with graceful confidence.
Her presence commanded the entire room as she moved with elegance, power, and an untouchable aura that silenced every whisper.
Margaret dropped her glass in shock, Victor’s face turned pale, and Vanessa felt her confidence crumble instantly.
“Elena,” Victor whispered in disbelief, unable to process the reality standing before him.
Elena stepped onto the stage and took the microphone, her gaze sweeping across the audience with calm authority.
“Tonight, I will begin removing every parasite and opportunist that has attempted to exploit my company,” she announced clearly.
She then stepped down from the stage and walked directly toward the Colebrook family’s table, each step echoing like a judgment.
“Hello, Victor, Margaret, Vanessa, I hope you are enjoying the evening,” she said with a composed smile.
“Elena, please forgive me because I made a terrible mistake,” Victor pleaded desperately while reaching toward her.
“Thank you for signing the divorce papers because it ensured you have no claim to my wealth or my child,” she replied without emotion.
