Chapter 10 - The Gala Management Tries To Sweep Scandal Aside
The gala director rushed across the marble floor, waving his hands frantically to restore order among the guests.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please, the charity auction is about to commence in the grand salon,” the director announced.
He attempted to place a polite hand on Sarah’s shoulder to escort her away from the center of attention.
“Step away from me unless you want to be named as an accessory to corporate fraud,” Sarah warned quietly.

Richard grabbed the director’s lapel, whispering hoarsely, “Shut down the doors! Don't let anyone enter or leave this floor!”
“Mr. Sterling, I cannot lock hundreds of prominent guests inside a private ballroom,” the director protested nervously.
Before Richard could argue further, the heavy double doors at the entrance of the ballroom swung open.
