Chapter 5 - The Invitation
The invitations to the Vance annual gala were sent out the next day.
Only the wealthiest and most powerful families in the state received them.
Julian Sterling stared at the gold-embossed card on his desk.
"We actually got one," he whispered, his eyes wide with excitement.
"Mother! Look at this! We're invited to the Vance Gala!"
Victoria rushed into the room, snatching the card from his hands.
"Oh, praise God! This means they respect us!" she cried.
"This is our official entry into the highest tier of society!"
"We must look flawless, Julian. This is where we secure our future."
"I'll buy a new gown, something that screams royalty."
Julian smiled, feeling a surge of pride and arrogance.
"Chloe could never even dream of stepping foot in a place like this," he thought.
He felt justified in his decision to divorce her.
She was just a anchor dragging him down, while he belonged in the stars.
He called his current mistress, a wealthy socialite named Elena.
"Pack your best dress, babe. We're going to the Vance Gala."
Elena squealed with joy over the phone, praising his success.
Julian felt like the king of the world, untouchable and supreme.
Little did he know, his invitation was personally approved by Chloe.
She wanted them there to witness her ultimate reveal.
She wanted them to feel the full weight of their mistake.
