Chapter 9 - The Night of GlassThe night arrived.
Evelyn entered the Vance Grand wearing a simple black dress.
Lily stayed beside her.
Richard didn't recognize the danger.
He was too busy accepting congratulations.
To him, the gala was another victory.
To Evelyn, it was the beginning of the end.
She watched him laugh with politicians.
She watched investors shake his hand.
She watched people praise a man who had destroyed lives to build his fortune.
Her heart burned.
But she remained calm.
At exactly 9:47 p.m., Evelyn received a message from Michael.
Everything is ready.
She closed her eyes.
For one second, she remembered her husband.
His smile.
His voice.
The way he used to hold Lily.
Then Evelyn opened her eyes.

Tonight wasn't about revenge anymore.
It was about justice.
