"Revenge."
The word echoed in the silent room.
My throat felt dry.
"For what?" I asked.
Daniel looked at me like I should already know.
But I didn't.
And that scared me.
"You really don't remember?" he said quietly.
Remember what?
My mind raced through years of memories.
Nothing made sense.
"I think you're lying," I said.
Daniel smiled again.
"That's what makes this funny."
Nora looked confused too.
"Daniel, stop this," she snapped.
But he ignored her.
Instead, he looked at the crowd.
"At least now everyone can hear the truth."
My stomach twisted.
Because suddenly I realized something.
This wasn't just about money.
This was personal.
Very personal.
Daniel stepped closer.
"So tell me," he said softly.
"Do you remember the accident five years ago?"
My blood ran cold.
Because that was a memory I had tried very hard to forget.
And suddenly…
I knew this night was far from over.
