Chapter 77

• The tension in the room was palpable as Henry turned to his son, Austin, his brow furrowed in confusion. “What is all this?” he demanded, his voice a mix of disbelief and concern.
• Matilda, unable to contain her anxiety, stepped forward and seized Austin's hand, her grip tight and insistent. “What is this, Austin?

The scandal of their marriage, the fake relationship that they had carefully concealed for so long, was now laid bare for all to see.
