She flipped through the pages two or three times, her lips trembling, utterly incapable of accepting it.
The papers in her hands were nearly crumpled from her tight grip, her eyes brimming with sheer disbelief.
Seeing her devastated, refusing to accept reality, Eleanor let out a cold scoff. "What's wrong? Does Ms. Sloan suspect these documents are forged?
What a coincidence. Among the guests celebrating my birthday today are several authoritative figures.
Why don't we invite these gentlemen over to verify the documents in front of everyone? They can tell us whether these papers are real or fake."
As soon as the words left her mouth, three middle-aged men in formal suits, exuding an air of commanding authority, stepped out from the back of the crowd.
Even though they were in civilian clothes, Sienna recognized them instantly. One of them was Director Julian Bennett.
Director Bennett took the entire stack of documents from Sienna's hands, and the three of them carefully reviewed and verified the details.
A moment later, the three exchanged a look. "Miss, the evidence in front of you is conclusive and completely accurate.
Today is Eleanor's birthday banquet, a joyous occasion. Please do not cause baseless drama and ruin the mood for all the guests. Keep your dignity."
The personal endorsement from three heavyweights dropped like a boulder into the crowd, instantly flipping the narrative.
The guests who had secretly suspected Celeste just moments ago completely switched sides.
Gideon Grayson and Lucas Lowell were the first to start clapping.
"I told you Eleanor wouldn't lie to us."
"Even God took pity on Eleanor's love for her granddaughter and specifically sent Ms. Vaughan to her side."
"Having a sweet girl to keep you company in your golden years, Eleanor, the best of your blessings are yet to come!"
Surrounded by a chorus of flattery, Eleanor beamed with joy.
Helena chimed in with her own praises.
Sienna watched this display of fabricated harmony with icy eyes, glancing back down at the documents in her hand.
A suffocating wave of despair washed over her!
The Sterlings had mobilized their immense power and connections to forcefully forge a flawless, bulletproof new life for Celeste.
