The atmosphere in the room grew even more tense as Sadie scrambled to regain her composure. She stood upright, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and tried to pull away from Micah’s embrace. But Micah, ever the confident and suave man, didn’t let go immediately. His lips curled into a playful smile, clearly enjoying her discomfort.
The applause from the surrounding guests filled the room, but it felt deafening to Sadie. The gaze of every person around her, especially the White family, weighed heavily on her. She could feel their judgmental stares, knowing their plans to expose her true identity were about to unfold.
“Don’t worry, Sadie,” Micah whispered, his voice smooth and comforting. “You’re among friends here.”
But Sadie didn’t feel at ease. She was suddenly more aware than ever of the complex dynamics around her. The ruby necklace, a symbol of opulence and power, was now in her hands, but the consequences of being in Micah’s orbit felt like they were catching up to her.
Meanwhile, Kathleen, Leah, and Janet were watching from the sidelines, eagerly anticipating the moment when Sadie’s secret would be revealed. Kathleen’s eyes gleamed with a sharp, calculated expression as she turned her attention back to the scene in front of her. She could feel victory just within her grasp.
“Mom, will it really happen?” Leah whispered, still unable to hide her excitement. She was dying to see the truth about Sadie come out.
“Just wait,” Kathleen replied with a wicked smile, her eyes scanning the room to ensure everything was going according to plan.
Ronan, who had been quietly observing Sadie from a distance, now seemed lost in thought. His face was tense, and his eyes held a mixture of confusion and concern. The woman who had once been a calm and graceful figure was now caught up in a whirlwind of attention and rumors. Was this really the woman he thought he knew?
He glanced over at his family, particularly his father, who seemed to be following the unfolding drama without saying a word. Felipe’s expression was unreadable, though his gaze occasionally flickered towards Sadie. He was undoubtedly aware of the schemes being played, but he kept his silence, for now.
Janet, now standing at the front row, hesitated for a moment before speaking. The tension in her posture was palpable as she turned toward the crowd and raised her voice, “Everyone, I think it’s time we shed some light on who Sadie really is.”
The words seemed to hang in the air, and the room fell silent. Everyone, even Micah, shifted their attention toward Janet. Sadie’s heart skipped a beat. She hadn’t expected this to happen so soon.
Kathleen’s smile deepened, her hand subtly resting on Leah’s shoulder as she watched Janet’s every move. This was it—the moment they’d been waiting for.
