Margaret stared at him.
“Think about your family name.”
“I finally am.”
“That’s why I stopped listening to everyone except the truth.”
Olivia looked at him in disbelief.
“You’re canceling our wedding because of the woman who hid your children?”
Sebastian slowly removed his engagement ring.
“She never hid anything.”
“You buried every piece of evidence.”
He placed the ring on the conference table.
The investigation confirmed Olivia had used foundation funds to finance the media leak.
She was suspended immediately.
Julia filed lawsuits for defamation, invasion of privacy, and emotional harm to the children.
Margaret later petitioned the court for grandparent visitation.
The judge denied the request after hearing the recovered phone recording.
She hadn’t lost access to her grandchildren because of money.
She lost them because she believed a family could be managed like a corporation.
Sebastian’s situation was different.
Although he could have demanded immediate visitation after the DNA test, he accepted every recommendation from the children’s psychologist.
