Chapter 5 — The Betrayal Inside The Family
Margaret refused to step down.
Instead, she launched a public attack.
News headlines appeared everywhere.
"Whitmore Heir Marries Outsider."
"Family Crisis Behind Billionaire Empire."
People began questioning Elena.
Was she only after money?
Was the pregnancy planned?
Was she using Alexander?
Elena watched the news silently.
Alexander found her sitting alone.
“I’m sorry.”
She looked at him.
“For what?”
“For bringing you into this family.”
Elena shook her head.
“No.”
She touched his hand.
“You didn’t bring me into a monster’s world.”
A pause.
“I just finally saw the monster hiding inside it.”
That night, Elena discovered something.
A hidden recording.
A conversation between Margaret and Victoria.
And in that recording…
Margaret admitted everything.
“I pushed her because she refused to leave.”
Victoria asked:
“What if Alexander finds out?”
Margaret answered:
“He won’t choose her over his mother.”

But they were wrong.
Because Alexander heard every word.
