Chapter 89
Vivienne stood frozen in place, her heart racing as Damon’s words echoed in her mind. He had thanked her. After everything that had happened between them, after the misunderstanding, he had actually thanked her.She hadn’t expected this moment. Not now, not when he still hadn’t forgiven her. Not when she knew he was still angry.Her breath came in quick, uneven gasps as she watched him walk away with Celia. “He doesn’t hate me completely,” she whispered, her voice trembling with hope, her eyes never leaving his figure. “There’s still a chance. He hasn’t shut me out forever. He can still forgive me.”She had braced herself for him to ignore her completely tonight. She had expected him to turn away again, just like at the airport. But instead, he had acknowledged her help.Maybe he understood that she hadn’t defended him just to deceive him into forgiving her. Maybe he realized she was truly trying to make things right.Vivienne pressed her hand to her chest, feeling her heart slam aga

“Wait! You can’t do this to us!” Serena’s voice cracked, her anger colliding with a wave of sadness. “We’re not the ones who deserve to leave... It’s them!”Her eyes locked onto Vivienne, wide with disbelief. “Why… why did you change your mind? Please, don’t do this to us. You promised! You said you’d be on our side, that you’d help us expose those shameless idiots.” Her chest rose and fell with sharp, uneven breaths. “So why now? Why are you betraying us like this?”Michael struggled against the grip of the guards, his words spilling out in desperation. “Please, Miss Vivienne... Just one more minute, that’s all we’re asking! If you’re doubting us, if you think we’re lying, then let us prove the truth to you!”His voice grew hoarse as they dragged him further away. “Damon can’t just walk free after everything he’s done! He can’t! Please… please listen to us!”But Vivienne only curved her lips into a knowing smirk. They thought they could use her against Damon... the man she secretly h
Chapter 87
Damon scoffed as Serena and Michael made a scene, sure it would end badly for them. “Clowns,” he muttered, watching them pull the same dumb stunts they were always known for.Richard, Margaret, and Thomas exchanged bewildered glances. Richard leaned toward Margaret and whispered, "But Anthony Williams just called them VIP guests."“I heard that too,” Margaret whispered back. “I guess these people don’t know either and just wanted to cause trouble.”Serena heard them whispering without knowing what they were talking about. She grew more desperate, thinking their words were starting to sway others. "Don't let them fool you! I was married to this worthless man. I know exactly what kind of monster he is.""She's telling the truth," Michael declared, his voice echoing across the ballroom. "These two have been scamming their way through high society, pretending to be important when they're actually criminals."Serena smiled to herself, certain that Damon and Celia were finally going down. S

"Stop."The voice that cut through the tension belonged to Anthony Williams. He stood at the edge of their circle, his expression cold and professional as his sharp eyes took in the scene."Mr. Williams!" Richard gasped, his phone still in his hand.Anthony's gaze swept over the three wealthy guests before landing on the security guards. "What exactly is happening here?""These two people refuse to identify themselves properly," Margaret said quickly. "We were just trying to protect the other guests.""Protect them from what?" Anthony asked, his voice dangerously quiet."From likely criminals," Thomas explained. "They won't tell us who they are or how they got in here."Anthony's expression grew even colder. "And you took it upon yourselves to interrogate my personal guests?"The color drained from Richard's face. "Your... your personal guests?""Mr. Damon and Miss Greene are VIP guests of Vespera Corporation," Anthony said clearly. "They are here at my personal invitation."Margaret'

Damon didn’t move. His jaw tightened, every line of his face carved with restraint. He knew exactly why he couldn’t give them his last name. The second the word Sterling left his mouth, the air in this room would change. They would all know who he was.They would know he was part of one of the most powerful families in the city. But he wasn't ready for that revelation. Not now. Not like this.When the right time came, he would reveal his true identity. But that time wasn't tonight, and it certainly wasn't because these arrogant people demanded it.Celia looked at Damon desperately, her mind racing with confusion and fear.“Damon, please,” she whispered, her voice trembling with urgency. “Why won’t you just tell them your last name? If you do, they’ll leave us alone.”But as the words slipped out, a sudden realization struck her. In all the time she had known Damon, he had never once spoken his last name. Not a single time.She sifted through her memories, replaying every conversation,

"I don't need connections," Damon said firmly. "Only a few people know who I really am, and it doesn't include the people here. You don't need to know who we are or if we're well-known in the city."Celia felt a ripple of confusion at Damon’s words. Only a few people knew who he really was? But she knew he wasn't wealthy like anyone here. Was he just saying that to save them from embarrassment?That must be it, she thought. He's trying to protect us.The three wealthy guests stepped back slightly, but they didn't give up."Okay," Richard said slowly. "But surely you can tell us your names? That's not asking too much.""I'm Celia Greene," Celia replied quickly, hoping that would satisfy them.Margaret frowned. "Greene? I've never heard that name in our circles.""Wait," Thomas said, his eyes narrowing. "Greene... wasn't there a Greene family that used to be wealthy? Years ago?"Celia's face went pale. Her heart started beating faster."Yes, I remember now," Richard said. "The Greene fa
