Chapter 13 - Confronting a wicked mother in law publicly during a grand charity gala in Manhattan as hundreds of high society elites watch in absolute stunned silence.
The following evening, the grand ballroom of the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan sparkled with crystal chandeliers and expensive silk gowns.
High-society elites, corporate titans, and media moguls mingled near the champagne towers, celebrating the annual charity auction event.
Helen Montgomery stood near the center of the ballroom, wearing an emerald designer gown and basking in false social admiration.
Suddenly, the ballroom doors swung open wide, and federal marshals marched into the hall in formation, followed by Ethan and Chloe.
Ethan walked up to the central microphone podium, his voice echoing through the massive sound system with commanding authority.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen; I apologize for interrupting this charity gala, but justice cannot wait for dessert," Ethan announced publicly.
Helen turned pale, her glass of champagne slipping from her fingers and shattering into a thousand pieces against the marble floor.
"My mother, Helen Montgomery, has been indicted by federal prosecutors for multi-million-dollar embezzlement, conspiracy, and corporate sabotage," Ethan declared.
Whispers erupted through the crowd like wildfire as cameras flashed blindingly in Helen's direction from every corner of the room.
