“Mother, something is terribly wrong because nobody is willing to work with us anymore,” Victor shouted in frustration.

“I do not understand what is happening, but tonight’s charity gala will change everything,” Margaret replied with forced confidence.

“The CEO of Brooksford Global will attend, and securing his support will solve all our problems instantly,” she continued.

“Leave that responsibility to me because no man can resist my charm,” Vanessa said proudly with a self satisfied smile.

“Unlike that woman who is probably begging somewhere on the streets right now,” she added with a cruel laugh.

The gala took place in the most luxurious hotel in the country, a property owned entirely by Brooksford Global.

The grand ballroom sparkled with wealth and power as influential figures gathered under glittering chandeliers.

Suddenly, the lights dimmed and a single spotlight illuminated the top of the grand staircase.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the visionary behind Brooksford Global, the driving force of modern industry, Miss Elena Brooksford,” the host announced.
