Chapter 39

• The problem was that no one had informed Evelyn that over a hundred of Adrian’s military colleagues would be arriving. Their unexpected presence threw the entire event into chaos, taking up seats meant for high-ranking executives, political figures, and influential investors. These were people whose support could significantly impact Adrian’s career and the Warren family’s standing. Now, they were left standing awkwardly, visibly irritated as they were forced to wait for accommodations that should have been guaranteed.
• Evelyn turned to Beatrice, her voice sharp with frustration. "Fix this. Now."
• Beatrice, usually the picture of composure, was just as stunned. She had meticulously planned every detail of the engagement party, from the seating arrangements to the guest list. Nowhere in her notes had these extra attendees been accounted for.
