WEE-OO, WEE-OO!
Just as the crowd's excitement reached its peak, eager to spread the juicy gossip, the urgent wail of approaching police sirens cut through the air, drawing closer and closer to the venue.
Tristan Sherwood, who had remained silent until now, finally showed a shift in expression. He raised his phone and waved it.
"I called the police," he announced. "They'll be here soon, along with my lawyers. Mia Miller, is it? As the Vice President of The Sherwood Group, I am officially pressing charges against you for defamation and slander!"
The crowd fell speechless. Mia's eyes widened in sheer horror.
Ignoring her shocked expression, Tristan continued, "Every single thing you just did has been captured by multiple security cameras in this hall. You can't deny it. And the Sherwood family will do everything in our power to dig up whoever put you up to framing me!"
