Then Victoria looked directly at her.
"The luxury apartment Daniel gave you."
Sophie crossed her arms.
"What about it?"
Victoria stepped closer.
"It's mine."
Sophie froze.
The apartment she believed Daniel had secretly purchased for her was owned by a Harrington family trust.
A trust controlled entirely by Victoria.
For eighteen months, Daniel had been paying rent into an account controlled by his own wife.
Victoria knew everything.
Every dinner.
Every vacation.
Every expensive gift.
Every lie.
"You knew about us?" Sophie whispered.
Victoria nodded.
"For almost a year."
Daniel's expression darkened.
"Why would you wait?"
Victoria finally looked at him.
"Because I needed evidence."
The ballroom fell silent.
Victoria revealed that Daniel hadn't simply been unfaithful.
He had secretly transferred money from family accounts to support his affairs.
Victoria had spent months working with financial investigators and attorneys.
The gala wasn't an accident.
It was the night she had chosen to confront him.
But Sophie suddenly noticed something else among the documents.
A photograph.
Daniel standing beside a woman holding a small child.
Sophie looked at Victoria.
"Who is that?"
Victoria's face became serious.
"The reason I never left sooner."
Daniel whispered, "Don't."
But Victoria ignored him.
"That woman was Daniel's first affair."
She looked at the photograph.
"And that little girl is his daughter."
Sophie slowly stepped backward.
Everything she believed about Daniel was suddenly gone.

Outside the hotel, Sophie followed Victoria toward her car.
"Wait!"
