Chapter 91
At that moment, hearing what Otis had just said, the entire mood of the room swung violently into laughter, not the warm and easy laughter of genuine amusement, but the sharp, reckless kind that people fall into when they are desperate to crush a statement before it has the chance to settle into possibility, and once the first burst went up, others followed immediately, because ridicule is contagious in rooms where pride has already been wounded and everybody is waiting for a chance to recover some lost ground.Everybody just started laughing.Even Sebastian's friends, who by all reasonable expectation should have remained sober and angry, who should have remained focused on the humiliation their friend had just suffered on the ground, could not help themselves, because the claim Otis had made sounded so outrageous to them, so far beyond the category in which they had mentally placed him, that they grabbed onto it at once, not merely as something to laugh at, but as something to use a

Chapter 92
At that moment in time, that was when Melissa's father then said, in a voice that carried the weary disappointment of a man whose carefully arranged social expectations had just dissolved without warning, that Mr. Nathaniel Jr. had cancelled his birthday party, and the instant those words landed in her ear, Melissa's composure snapped so quickly that she did not even realize she had spoken aloud until the room around her reacted."What do you mean he cancelled his birthday party?" she blurted out, the question bursting from her in a sharp, stunned voice that carried far enough for nearly everyone nearby to hear it clearly.And immediately she said so, everybody was just surprised.Not merely surprised.Something closer to fear began creeping into some of their faces, subtle at first, then clearer by the second, because what Melissa had just repeated out loud was not a rumor passed between uncertain people in the corner of a room, not a casual guess, not an invented detail offered by s

Chapter 93
From that moment in time, upon hearing what her father had just said, hearing the confirmation he had given and the explanation attached to it, Melissa's mind moved quickly, almost too quickly, grabbing hold of the interpretation that felt safest to her pride and fastening onto it before doubt could widen again, because although the cancellation had indeed been confirmed, the mention of Nathaniel Jr.'s sick mother gave her exactly what she needed: a reason to reject the most unsettling part of Otis's claim while still accounting for the fact that the event had truly been called off.And so, almost instantly, she began rebuilding herself.Could it be that Otis was right about the cancellation itself?Yes.That part, clearly, had turned out to be true.But could it be that he was actually right in the larger way he wanted them to believe, that he had somehow known beforehand because he was directly involved, because he mattered that much, because he had supposedly turned down an invitat

Chapter 94
At that moment in time, that was when Melissa then shouted toward Otis, and there was no trace of restraint left in her now, no effort to keep her voice measured, no interest in preserving the appearance of polish, because anger had fully taken over and was now speaking for her in the raw, public, cutting way anger always prefers when it feels both threatened and vindicated at the same time."Will you just keep your mouth shut and stop uttering nonsense anymore?" she snapped, her voice carrying sharply through the room. "You are getting really annoying now, getting on my nerves, and this is becoming extremely boring at this moment in time, because I will not stand here and watch you continue to tell lies upon lies upon lies upon lies, feeding yourself with more lies until your stomach actually bursts, and you still won't even agree that you are lying. If it wasn't for my father's phone call, everybody here would have believed you. You would have been singing your own praises by now, t

Chapter 95
while all attention seemed fixed on Otis, while accusations continued to fly toward him from every direction and every mouth in the room seemed either ready to condemn him, laugh at him, or challenge him, there was one person who had remained quiet just long enough to observe what nobody else was really paying attention to, and that person was Penelope.For most of that exchange, it had seemed as though she was not invited into the emotional center of what was happening.It had seemed as though she stood slightly apart from it all, not because she did not understand the gravity of the moment, but because she was the kind of woman who did not rush to speak merely because others were making noise. She had watched Melissa with her outrage, watched Sebastian's friends puff themselves up with collective anger, watched Megan become overwhelmed by the pressure gathering around her, and through all of it Penelope had remained still, composed, and unreadable in the way only very self-possessed

Immediately, that was when Penelope then responded to Megan, and she did so without flinching, without drawing back, and without offering even the smallest apology for what she had just said, because unlike the others in the room who had been reacting from chaos, Penelope now seemed to be moving from a place of very deliberate control, the kind of control that makes even simple words sound sharper than an insult."Inviting him to dinner, of course," she said, her eyes resting on Megan with a calmness that somehow made the question even more provocative. "Do you have any problem with that? Do you have any problem with me inviting him to dinner?"The room seemed to tighten at once.There was no shouting in Penelope's voice.No mockery.No vulgarity.And yet, in some strange way, that only made the exchange more dangerous, because Megan could now feel that this was no accidental misunderstanding and no casual social gesture lightly offered without awareness. Penelope knew exactly what sh

Penelope did not even spare Sebastian’s friend a proper glance.His interruption, bold though he had intended it to sound, dissolved in the air almost the moment it left his mouth, because Penelope carried the kind of presence that made certain people feel insignificant without her needing to humiliate them directly, and so instead of acknowledging his desperate attempt to insert himself into the conversation, she let her attention remain exactly where she wanted it, on Otis, as though no one else in the room had truly earned the right to matter in that instant.Then, with that same composed elegance that had already unsettled everyone once before, she stepped forward just slightly and spoke again, her tone still smooth, still feminine, but this time carrying a degree of seriousness that transformed the entire atmosphere around her."Mr. Otis," she said, and there was now a note of respect in the way she addressed him that nobody failed to hear, "can you do me a favor?"The room becam

Chapter 98
At that moment in time, before Penelope could say another word, before the envelope in her hand could be opened, before Melissa could finish turning her suspicion into something firmer, before the whole uneasy weight of the room could settle into whatever shape it was destined to take, Otis's phone began to ring, and the sound cut through the tension with the kind of suddenness that made several people flinch without meaning to.For a brief moment, nobody moved.The ringing continued, insistent, almost impatient, and Otis reached into his pocket with the same unhurried calm he had carried through everything else that night, as though a phone ringing in the middle of chaos was simply one more ordinary detail in an evening that had already stopped following ordinary rules.He glanced at the screen.It was not the person many in the room might have expected, not some mysterious contact tied to Global Investments, not some hidden figure meant to validate or destroy the claims swirling arou

Chapter 100
"I'm sorry if what I said offends you completely," he said. "I'm very, very sorry. I didn't mean to overstep. I know they wouldn't be able to offer you anything that would make this worth your time, I know that for a fact, but at the same time, I also know they are in a very critical condition right now. And if you don't want to do it, then no problem at all. I understand completely. I just felt like you were going to be my only hope in all of this. He's my friend. He's practically a brother to me, and his son is almost like my own son as well. But that is my own business to carry, not yours, and I shouldn't have—"Before he could finish burying himself further in apology, Otis finally spoke, cutting through the rambling with the same unhurried steadiness that had defined everything he'd said all evening."Send me the address," Otis said simply. "I will be with you in no time."For a moment, there was nothing on the other end of the line, not because Mr. Ben had grown silent out of co
