Chapter 25 - CELEBRATION AT THE ESTATE
To mark the foundation's official national launch, Ethan hosted a private dinner party at the Westchester estate.
Distinguished guests, community leaders, and local law enforcement officers gathered under the sparkling chandeliers.
Hannah wore a breathtaking emerald green evening gown, her dark hair styled in soft, cascading waves.
Chloe wore a pastel pink dress, running happily around the lawn with her friends from school.
Mrs. Higgins, the head housekeeper, walked through the room serving hot hors d'oeuvres to smiling guests.
"To justice, family, and new beginnings," Arthur Pendelton toasted, raising his champagne glass high.
"To family," Ethan repeated softly, looking across the room into Hannah's warm, beautiful eyes.
The night was filled with music, laughter, and authentic warmth, completely erasing the dark memories of Eleanor’s gala.
As the party ended, Ethan and Hannah stood together on the front steps, watching the stars shine brightly above.
