Chapter 9 - Ethan Confronts His Bride Before The Entire Crowd
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for traveling from across the country to celebrate today,” Ethan announced loudly. His voice resonated off the marble pillars, carrying clearly to every corner of the crowded estate.
Natalie smiled nervously, stepping toward the base of the staircase as if expecting a romantic gesture. “However, there will be no wedding today,” Ethan continued, his tone cutting through the silence like a razor.
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd as guests dropped their glasses in stunned disbelief. Natalie’s face turned completely pale, her fingers digging into the silk fabric of her designer gown.
“Ethan, have you lost your mind?! Are you ending our wedding over a brat's broken toy?!” Natalie shrieked hysterically. Ethan walked slowly down the grand staircase, his eyes locked onto Natalie with lethal intensity.
“You didn't break a toy, Natalie; you tried to destroy the final proof of your family’s crimes,” Ethan stated coldly. The guests whispered frantically among themselves, realizing a massive scandal had just blown wide open.

“What are you talking about? You’re delusional!” Natalie cried out, trying to spin the narrative back in her favor. Ethan stopped three steps above her, pulling the yellowed letter out of his jacket pocket.
“I am talking about the Vale family, Natalie, and the car accident you engineered five years ago,” Ethan declared.
