“Grandma! It was Amelia! She set me up!” Gianna’s tears streamed down her face as she jabbed a trembling finger toward the doorway.

Amelia stood there, calm and poised, a glass of champagne balanced in her hand. A sharp, mocking smile spread across her lips.

“What’s wrong, little sister?” Amelia asked in a voice full of false innocence. “I’ve been in the banquet hall this whole time. There are plenty of people who can prove it.”

Several women of high society rushed to back her up. “That’s right. Ms. Amelia was with us the entire time. We saw it ourselves.”

“You liar!” Gianna shrieked and lunged, fury twisting her face. “It was you!”

Vincent caught her by the shoulders and shoved her back, his eyes cold and hard. “Enough! How much longer do you plan to disgrace yourself?”

Gianna’s body stiffened. Her heart sank like stone. “Vincent … you don’t believe me either?”

Vincent ripped his hand free from hers and sneered. “The truth is right in front of us. And yet you still spout lies. You need to reflect on what you’ve done.”

“No!” Gianna’s legs buckled. She fell to the ground, her makeup smeared and ruined. “You can’t do this to me!”

Ursula’s face turned a deep shade of gray. Her body trembled with rage, and she nearly collapsed from the weight of her fury.

She never dreamed Gianna would drag the family into such shame on this night. This girl!

Gianna cried even louder, her voice desperate and raw. “Grandma, I swear I’m innocent! Amelia framed me. She-”

“Shut your mouth!” Ursula’s roar split the air. “You have humiliated us enough! Guards! Take her away and lock her up at once!”

Two servants rushed forward. They grabbed Gianna and dragged her toward the exit.

As she passed Amelia, Gianna’s eyes flared with hate. “This isn’t over, Amelia!!”

Damn it. I walked straight into her trap.

Amelia’s lips curled higher. She leaned close, her voice low enough for only Gianna. “You dug this grave for yourself, dear sister.”

The other members of the Nygards shifted uneasily. None of them dared to speak. There was no proof to defend Gianna.

Confusion clouded their faces.

Why was Gianna in a room with Casey?

The mystery hung heavy, but the truth would have to wait.

For now, the fire was smothered, yet the whispers ran wild. The grand birthday banquet had been twisted into a scandal.

When the last guest had left, Ursula ordered Gianna dragged back out for questioning.

Gianna collapsed to her knees on the cold floor. Tears streaked her cheeks. “Grandma, I swear it was Amelia! She drugged me. She shoved me into that room!”

Amelia blinked with feigned shock. “Ah, ah, ah, Gianna. Lying is never good. I know you hate me, but accusing me without evidence is reckless. I could sue you for defamation.”

Ursula slammed her palm against the table. The sound echoed like thunder. “She’s right. Everything must be proven. Dozens witnessed Amelia in the banquet hall. You cannot argue against that.”

“Grandma, this must be investigated,” Marcelo said firmly. “Gianna deserves her name cleared. I believe she would never do such a thing.”

Gianna’s eyes suddenly lit with hope. “Grandma, there’s proof! The guest room has security cameras!”

Ursula ordered the recordings to be pulled immediately.

But the room was at the back of the property. It was a blind spot. No footage had been captured.

Gianna had chosen that room for secrecy. Now her plan turned to ash in her hands.

Damn it. I trapped myself.

There was nothing left but bitter silence.

“Gianna,” Ursula said at last, her tone heavy with disappointment. “You will spend a week at the chapel. You will not leave until it is over. You will copy Bible verses and learn humility.”

Gianna lowered her head. With no evidence, she had nothing left. Her voice cracked as she spoke. “Yes, Grandma. I understand.”

But her chest burned with rage.

She resented even Ursula now. Since her return, Ursula no longer spoiled her.

She favored Amelia instead.

If this keeps up, this family will have no place for me!

This isn’t over, Amelia!

Her eyes seared with venom as she glared at Amelia. She vowed she would make her pay.
