Chapter 4: The Public Humiliation
Silence enveloped the grand hall. The enormous LED screens, designed to display romantic footage of the million-dollar wedding, now revealed a harsh reality. Instead of "sweet" photos, hundreds of aristocratic guests, some of America's most influential, stared in stunned silence at evidence of financial fraud, Tiffany's extramarital affairs, and a list of employees she had mistreated.
Whispers began to spread. Those who had once been Tiffany's friends and allies recoiled, fearing repercussions. This wasn't a simple annulment; it was a social "execution." Tiffany, in her lavish wedding dress, now looked like a puppet with its strings cut, her face pale under the dazzling chandeliers.
"No... this is fake! It's all staged!" she screamed, her voice hoarse in the chaos. But no one listened. Julian's lawyers appeared like ghosts, confiscating his phone and beginning to seal everything.
Just then, Julian entered the hall. He no longer had the elegance of a groom, but the air of a victor in a power struggle. He stood before Tiffany, his eyes as cold as Alaskan ice.

"You've spent your whole life searching for a golden ticket to the upper class," Julian said, his voice echoing through the loudspeakers, silent but deadly. "But you've forgotten one crucial thing: a ticket is worthless if your soul is empty. You not only insulted that poor man; you insulted my own past, and that is an unforgivable sin."
At that moment, Julian's father – Arthur – entered. He was no longer covered in mud. He wore a classic suit, his imposing figure the man who had once been the mastermind behind the real estate empire the Blackwood family was seeking to seize. Everyone held their breath. The man they considered a "beggar" was actually the one who held the power to decide the survival of the bride's entire family. The humiliation reached its peak when Tiffany collapsed to the floor, her dream of marrying into a prestigious family shattered right there in the wedding hall.
