Chapter 3 - Evelyn Demands Answers About Her Son Medical History
Evelyn cornered Grant near the sweeping staircase as the remaining guests scrambled to escape the toxic atmosphere. "Explain yourself right now, Grant," Evelyn hissed, her fingernails digging into his velvet tuxedo lapel.
"There is nothing to explain, Mother," Grant muttered, trying to shrug off her tight grip in frustration. "You lied to me for five years about carrying my biological grandchild!" Evelyn shrieked, her voice echoing off the vaulted ceiling.
"I didn't lie about Maddie being our daughter, Mother! We used a donor, just like we discussed!" Grant shouted back defensively. Evelyn stared at him in absolute disgust, realizing her precious family bloodline had been faked.
"A sterile son running a multi-million-dollar empire built on pure legacy," Evelyn mocked bitterly, her eyes flashing with ice. "The board of directors will tear you apart when word of this gets out."

"Find that woman and child before the press does," Evelyn commanded sharply before turning away in sheer fury. Grant stood alone in the empty grand hallway, realizing he had lost everything that mattered.
