It was the day of the Rhine Corporation's Luxury Commercial Project ceremony, and the morning buzzed with anticipation.The event was being held in the grand ceremonial atrium of the Rhine Tower—a sprawling glass-and-marble structure that loomed like a monument to power and elegance. The hall was dressed in opulence: tall silver vases overflowed with blooming orchids and lilies, white and gold drapes cascaded from the high ceilings, and a shimmering chandelier floated above it all like a crown. Red carpets stretched across polished marble floors, guiding guests into a space thick with murmured excitement and expectation.Representatives from some of the biggest companies in Elleville had gathered, their expensive suits and glittering dresses blending into a sea of ambition. Waiters in tailored uniforms moved swiftly with trays of sparkling drinks, while photographers clicked away. Security stood in crisp black along the flanks of the entrance.At the front of the hall was a long h

The MC continued, his polished voice booming through the speakers. “And now, ladies and gentlemen, our next top-selected company is Truvance Medical Technologies—represented by Mr. Carter Sullivan.”Applause thundered again, rippling through the room.Over at the section reserved for the second branch of the Sullivan family, cheers erupted.Carter stood, buttoning his suit with a confident smile. His family clapped loudly as he strode toward the stage like a man on a mission, proud, composed, and full of triumph.From where he sat at the high table, Harry Sullivan’s face twisted into a deep frown.He didn't expect Carter"s company to also be called. “What in God’s name…” he muttered, barely audible.His eyes trailed Carter with disbelief and suspicion and his jaw tightened.“How the hell did they get in?” he thought to himself. “Truvance? Those people have been in a downward spiral for two years.”Now Harry wondered if they had bribed someone. That was the only way this could mak

At this moment, Harry Sullivan, seated confidently at the high table, adjusted his tie with a smirk on his lips. His navy-blue custom suit glimmered under the light and his eyes gleamed with self-assurance.There was no nervousness in him—only pride.“It's no one but me,” he muttered under his breath. “Let him just announce it already—I don’t have time to waste.”He sat back with folded arms, already imagining the lavish press conference, the contracts, and his face on the front pages of newspapers and magazines all over the city. This project would push him to a whole new echelon of wealth and power. Ten billion dollars would be the peak of his career.Just across the hall, Carter Sullivan wasn't anything but confident.His son, Mason, appeared from the crowd and gave him a firm pat on the shoulder.“Congratulations already, Dad. I'm sure your name is on that list,” Mason said, his tone confident. “Yes, son. It's going be a milestone for us.”Not far off, Grandma Sullivan was mo

Looking in the direction of the voice, every eye in the hall turned toward a tall, poised young man in a sleek tailored suit, walking calmly toward the podium.Gasps and murmurs filled the air as some murmured voices recognized him."Isn't that... Logan?""Charlotte's husband? What the hell is he doing here?"At the high table, the members of the Sullivan family raised their eyebrows collectively.Harry leaned forward, scowling. "Has that good-for-nothing live-in son-in-law lost his mind? Doesn’t he know this is a corporate gathering? People like him aren't even supposed to attend, let alone speak."Mason, seated beside Todd, his younger brother, sneered with a mocking smirk. "Oh, would you look at that? Looks like the pauper finally bought himself a shirt that doesn’t have holes. And those shoes? Must’ve taken him five years of saving coins in a jar to afford that pair. He probably came here just to show off his first real outfit."Todd chuckled, adding more humiliating comments.

The truth was now clear to everyone present at the event: Charlotte Sullivan and Elysian Bloom were innocent. The entire scandal was nothing more than a vile plot, a cruel act of blackmail orchestrated with surgical precision and venomous intent. The tension in the hall slowly melted into applause, whispers of admiration, and even tears of sympathy. Charlotte stood up from her seat slowly, still processing the magnitude of what had just occurred. Her eyes locked onto Logan’s, and in an instant, she rushed into his arms. Their embrace was full of relief, gratitude, and love. “Thank you,” she whispered through her tears. “Thank you for always fighting for me and never giving up.” Logan tightened his hold on her, brushing her hair back gently. “You’re the best decision I ever made, Charlotte. No one will ever hurt you again.” While they were still locked in that emotional moment, John and Barbara approached, their faces lit with pride and warmth. “Logan,” Barb
