Chapter 4 - The Security Escort
The heavy footsteps of three uniformed private security guards crunched loudly across the manicured gravel pathway.
Julian signaled them over with a sharp, uncompromising nod of his head, gesturing directly toward the blonde woman in the red gown.
"Escort Miss Chloe Vance off my family's property immediately," Julian ordered, his voice echoing over the whispering crowd.
"What?!" Chloe shrieked, stepping back as her champagne glass slipped from her fingers, shattering on the stone patio tiles.
"You can't throw me out of my own engagement party, Julian! My father funded this entire catering contract!" she raged hysterically.
"Your father's contract is canceled, and so is our engagement," Julian replied without a single trace of hesitation or regret.
The head guard stepped forward, placing a firm gloved hand on Chloe's bare arm despite her wild kicks and screams.
Guests pulled out their personal phones, filming the disgraced socialite being publicly dragged past the framed US flag toward the estate gates.
"You will pay for this, Julian Harrison!" Chloe shrieked, her long blonde hair disheveled as she was forced down the driveway.
