He cast a furtive glance at the large screen. Thoughts of his sister's devious plan churned in his mind, igniting a blend of anxiety and frustration within him.

Unlocking his phone, he reviewed Maggie's most recent messages with growing trepidation.

"Iker, everything's prepared. You just have to stream the camera feed from your phone to the banquet's main screen. Once it's live, everyone will see Lilah's true colors! There's no way she'll marry into the Harris family after this!"

“Are you sure about this?" he typed, uncertainty clouding his judgment .

Just a few moments later, her response came. “Absolutely, isn't this what you want too?"

Did he?

Lilah belonged to him, he believed, and the thought of anyone violating her was intolerable.

Yet, her betrayal stung. She had turned to Gerard and showed no signs of returning.

With a surge of anger, Iker messaged back. "She needs to learn. If she won't return to me, then she'll have to face the consequences!"

Maggie responded, her text oozing confidence, "That's the spirit, brother. Everything's in motion. It's showtime."

Iker initiated an application that connected to a live feed from a camera in the room. The display showed two individuals, naked, entangled with each other on the bed.

“That looks Like Lilah; didn't she just go upstairs?"

The woman adorned in a Versace dress gasped. "This is insane! How could she engage in such acts during a banquet, and broadcast it no less? Does she expect us all to watch?"

Her friend was quick to add, "I always knew there was something off about Lilah. She supposedly had a child out of wedlock and has a rather questionable reputation. Now, it seems the rumors were true!"

“How utterly low-class!"

Expressions of disdain and repulsion painted the faces of the women present, whereas some of the men seemed unable to peel their eyes away from the woman's alluring form on display.

Yet, the couple's passionate embrace concealed the woman's identity, with the man positioned atop her.

Brenda's complexion soured, and the banquet's organizer was beside himself with panic. “I deeply apologize, ma'am. I will look into this matter immediately.

"Hold on," interjected Gerard, his voice commanding attention.

As the couple on screen parted, the man's figure shifted, revealing the woman's face for all to see. A collective gasp ensued. "That's...
