Chapter 410
Victoria held thirty percent of the Montgomery shares.
Once Theodore Montgomery passed, the entire Montgomery Group would be hers.
She had wealth, beauty, and status.
Most importantly, she carried his child.
Alexander repeated these facts to himself, trying to cement Victoria's perfection.
He needed to erase Isabella from his mind completely.
"Mr. Alexander Whitmore," the officiant's voice cut through his thoughts.
"Do you take Ms. Victoria Kensington as your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse? For richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?"
Alexander answered without pause. "I do."
He took the ring from his best man.
He slid it onto Victoria's finger.
The massive screen behind them flickered to life.
The entire ballroom erupted into chaos.
Whispers spread like wildfire through the crowd.
A smug, dark smile curled on Victoria's lips.
Perfect. The pictures were finally showing.
Everyone would see Isabella with Nathaniel.
No amount of money could save Isabella from this scandal.
She would be exposed as a gold-digging social climber.
Victoria felt a surge of triumphant satisfaction.
But Alexander suddenly recoiled.
He ripped the ring off her finger.
His eyes burned with fury. "Victoria Kensington!"
He spat her name out, each syllable dripping with rage.
Victoria flinched. Why was he using that tone?
Something was wrong.
The crowd's stares felt different... accusatory.
She turned slowly toward the screen.
Her blood ran cold.
It wasn't Isabella with Nathaniel.
It was her. With Harrison Caldwell.
The video played for everyone to see.
Her legs gave out. She stumbled backward.
This couldn't be happening.
She had deleted this. Hired hackers to erase it completely.
How was it here?!
The crowd's murmurs grew louder, more vicious.
"Oh my god! Is that Victoria?"
"I thought she loved Alexander! Why is she with another man?"
"That's his assistant, Harrison! She slept with Alexander's assistant?"
"Unbelievable! And she had the nerve to sing that song earlier!"
"What a deceitful, disgraceful bitch!"
The Montgomery and Whitmore families sat in stunned silence.
Victoria had always been the picture of elegance.
This video showed a completely different woman.
Margaret Whitmore was the first to move.
She stormed the stage and slapped Victoria hard across the face.
The sound echoed through the silent hall.
Margaret glared, her expression venomous. "Victoria! Explain this!"
"We accepted you despite your past! And you betray my son like this?"
"How could you be so shameless?" Victor Whitmore scowled darkly.
