Chapter 4: The Banquet Where Every Lie Collapsed
Chapter 4: The Banquet Where Every Lie Collapsed
One week later, another charity gala filled the same luxury hotel.
This time, Mateo personally invited every board member.
Every investor.
Every journalist.
Valeria arrived wearing another designer gown, convinced Mateo had forgiven her.
She even smiled for photographers.
Then the ballroom screens lit up.
The music stopped.
Security footage filled the massive displays.
There she was.
Slapping Elena.
Threatening employees.
Destroying letters.
Paying staff members to remain silent.
Gasps spread across the ballroom.
Then came financial records.
Corporate fraud.
Misused company funds.
Illegal bribery.
Every crime appeared one after another.
Valeria's face drained of color.
"You set me up!"
Mateo answered quietly.
"No."
"You did that yourself."
Police officers entered through the ballroom doors.
"This can't be happening!"
No one defended her.
Not the executives.
Not her friends.
Not even the people who had once envied her glamorous life.
As she was escorted away in handcuffs, cameras captured every second.
