Chapter 5 - Victoria Strikes BackVictoria refused to apologize.
Instead, she decided to humiliate Evelyn publicly.
The Metropolitan Charity Auction was approaching.
It was the social event of the season.
Everyone who mattered would be there.
Victoria planned to make sure Evelyn regretted ever challenging her.
She hired a photographer.
She contacted several gossip columnists.
And, through an intermediary, she paid a waiter to perform one simple task.
Spill red wine on Evelyn's dress.
Then the photographer would capture Evelyn's reaction.
The story would become:
MYSTERIOUS MILLIONAIRE LOSES CONTROL AT CHARITY EVENT.
Victoria imagined the headlines.
She imagined Evelyn embarrassed.
She imagined the entire room laughing.
What Victoria didn't know was that Thorne had already discovered the plan.
He told Evelyn.
She simply smiled.
"Let her prepare."
"You're not worried?"
Evelyn looked at him.
"No."

"Why?"
"Because people reveal themselves when they think they're winning."
