As Romeo slowly regained consciousness, his head throbbed with a dull ache, and his vision swam with blurry images. With a groan, he shook off the dizziness that overwhelmed him, struggling to make sense of his surroundings.It has been been two days since his kidnap, but who would have been responsible for kidnapping Romeo at this point in time?However, as clarity slowly returned, Romeo found himself seated in a comfortable chair, surrounded by bright lights and the faint hum of machinery.

Tabitha Scornfield adjusted her posture, as her expression shifted to one of genuine admiration. She leaned towards the microphone, and her voice was measured and composed. "Thank you, Stanley. It’s an honor to be here tonight and to have the opportunity to speak about the Davidsons, a family I’ve known closely for many years."Romeo's eyes darted towards Tabitha, his curiosity was piqued despite his discomfort."Mrs. Davidson, in particular, is a remarkable woman," Tabitha continued, as her voice was warm with sincerity. "She has always been driven by a profound sense of justice and integrity. Even in the face of baseless accusations from NovaTech, she remains steadfast in her commitment to doing what is right. It's important to note that the Davidson family has a long history of philanthropic efforts, supporting numerous causes and helping those in need."The camera zoomed in on Tabitha as she spoke, with an unwavering gaze.

Stanley Flekken beamed as he turned to the guests, who were all nodding in agreement. "Let's start with our contributions. Dorathy, how much would you like to donate to the Navaurian refugees?"Dorathy Steersman smiled warmly, as her voice filled with sincerity. "I'll contribute fifty thousand dollars, Stanley. It's the least I can do to help these families in need."The audience applauded, and Stanley turned to Ogle Banfield. "And you, Ogle? What will your donation be?"Ogle nodded, as his expression was resolute. "I will match Dorathy's donation and give fifty thousand dollars as well.

And now, Tabitha, what about you?"Tabitha Scornfield, with a confident smile, spoke clearly into the microphone. "I will donate seventy-five thousand dollars.

Romeo's face contorted with a frown, his anger was barely contained beneath the surface of his stern expression. The laughter and mockery echoed in his ears, fueling a fire within him that demanded retribution. Determined to save face, he reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone, its screen was cracked and edges were worn-out. The whispers and giggles from the audience only deepened his resolve to save his face. He began typing a message to his deputy, Lieutenant General Thompson, his fingers moving swiftly across the screen. The room's attention shifted as Tabitha Scornfield's voice cut through the air once more, dripping with condescension. "Hey, isn't that an old version of an Apple iPhone? Oh, poor guy, look at the way it is all worn out and broken. Maybe we should organize some act of charity for poor Romeo." The audience erupted into another wave of laughter, as their eyes were fixed on Romeo's every move. Ogle Banfield, catching the momentum of the mockery, s
As the numbers on the screen came into focus, a hush fell over the grand hall. The collective gasps of the audience broke the silence. "One point six million dollars!" Most of the people in the audience exclaimed, as their voice was filled with incredulity.Tabitha Scornfield felt a cold shiver shoot down her spine, her smug demeanor began to crumble. A knot tightened in her stomach, the triumph she had relished just moments before now turned to a gnawing dread. How could Romeo, supposedly broke and humiliated, afford such an enormous sum?

Or had he been concealing his true financial status all along? The shock and confusion on the faces around her mirrored her own internal turmoil.The audience, too, was caught in a wave of disbelief. Murmurs of astonishment spread through the room as people tried to process what they had just witnessed. Rome

Her breath caught in her throat, and she felt her heart pound painfully in her chest. The magnitude of Tabitha Scornfield's heinous act of pedophilia and molestation hit her like a sledgehammer, shattering the calm she had maintained.Her husband, Mr. Davidson, who was also in the room with her twisted his face in fury. He jabbed a finger towards the screen, with his voice shaking with rage. "So you hired an animal to be your social media influencer, huh? Do you know what this humiliation means for our brand?"Mrs. Davidson felt a wave of nausea rise within her. "Please, my husband, do not be angry. I will rush to sort this out quickly," she stammered, as her voice was thick with desperation.She hurried upstairs to her room, with her mind racing. Grabbing her phone, she dialed Tabitha's number re
