CHAPTER 322
Seeing Savina admit to it brought a smile to Athena’s face. She grinned widely, her posture loosening as if a weight had been lifted.‘Good. Let her take the fall. As long as she keeps talking, I’m in the clear.’Athena folded her arms and leaned slightly to the side, eyes glinting with amusement.‘Once I recover the files, I’ll send them straight to Mr. Washington. Privately. That’ll be enough to get his attention—and maybe even his gratitude.’Savina’s voice cracked, but she kept going. “You walk around like you’re untouchable. Perfect. Everyone loves you. You don’t even try, and still, they praise you. They follow you. I was tired of it. Tired of being invisible next to you
CHAPTER 321
The silence was shattered with a sudden ripple of voices. People were no longer whispering—they were talking. Openly. Boldly.“They really had nothing.”“This was all just noise?”“They tried to destroy her with fake evidence?”“How did they both lose the same file?”Across the ballroom, heads turned toward Persis. She hadn’t moved from her spot—hadn’t lifted a finger. But somehow, she’d won.She recalled Howard telling her that any phones that came near their car and lingered too long would be hacked immediately. And if they tried to take pictures and share them, the files would be deleted on the spot.<
CHAPTER 320
Savina knew she had the evidence with her, but something about Persis’s unshaken calm made her hesitate.It wasn’t just confidence—it was like Persis expected her to show it. Like none of this was new.Tedmond’s gaze flicked toward her, one brow raised in quiet amusement, and that only made Savina grip her phone tighter.“Fine,” she snapped, voice slicing through the air. “You all want proof? I’ll give you proof.”She raised the phone like a sword, holding it high so everyone could see.“I have the pictures. I have the video. So stay right where you are—because once I share this, everyone will see exactly what kind of person Persis Damon really is.”The ballroom erupted.“She’s actually going to show it?”“This is turning into a full-blown scandal.”“She’s not bluffing?”“Wait—does she have something on Ms. Damon?”“There’s no way. Ms. Damon’s spotless. No scandals, no exes, no mess. Why would she cheat?”“Unless the guy was someone bigger than Mr. Washington…”“No one’s bigger than M
CHAPTER 319
The moment Tedmond hit send, he looked up—expression unreadable, calm, but not kind. He had no intention of stopping this. Not yet.Not until Persis was done.The murmurs still swirled around them, but Savina stood proud in the center of it all, soaking in the attention like it fueled her. Her chest rose, chin lifted. This was her stage now, and she wasn’t planning to step off.Persis, however, still hadn’t moved. Still hadn’t said a word. She just stood there—waiting. Letting Savina go on. Letting her dig deeper.Savina smirked, her voice rising as she turned slightly to address the crowd.“Don’t be fooled by that calm face,” she said, sweeping her hand toward Persis like she was unveiling a painting. “She walks like she owns the world, but let’s not forget—this is the same girl who got caught sneaking around with someone not named Washington. And now she’s standing here, acting like she’s above all of us?”She turned back to Persis. “You can fool them with your polished looks and ex
CHAPTER 318
Seeing Persis step closer, the woman was instantly terrified. She hadn’t expected Persis to laugh off her words like they were nothing. Not only was Persis unshaken—she wasn’t even remotely afraid of what might happen next.The woman’s gaze darted to the side, scanning the crowd. When she saw the frowns and curious expressions on their faces, a flicker of hope rose in her chest. Good. They were listening. Maybe even believing her. And now, no matter how untouchable Persis thought she was, she wouldn’t be able to get away with it.Her eyes shifted to Tedmond, and a smirk tugged at her lips. As long as Tedmond believed she was cheating, he’d discard her, and without his protection, Persis wouldn’t have the Washingtons behind her anymore.“Is that your play?” Persis asked, her voice deadly calm. “Fabricated rumors? Shadows and hearsay? That’s what you’re left with now?”She took another step. But this time, the woman didn’t flinch. She just held her head high, peering at Persis.Althoug
CHAPTER 317
For one second—just one—there was silence.Then Tedmond moved.Not with a shout, not with a growl—but with precision.He stepped in front of Persis protectively, pulled a handkerchief from his inner pocket, and gently dabbed her cheek, ignoring the woman entirely.Only once he was sure Persis was okay did he speak. He turned to the woman slowly, his voice like ice. “You just made the biggest mistake of your life.”The woman faltered, her smugness finally cracking. She glanced at Athena, but Athena had already turned away, pretending she had nothing to do with it.Persis didn’t speak right away. She calmly reached up, wiped the dripping wine from her temple with her fingers, then took the handkerchief from Tedmond with a quiet, “Thank you.”Her movements were composed—too composed for someone who had just been publicly humiliated. Every gesture screamed control.Her expression shifted—slow but sharp, like a blade being unsheathed. She handed the wine glass to a passing server, then t
