Chapter 440

"Alright, Mrs. Whitmore, don't get upset. I'm sure the divorce papers have finally knocked some sense into her."

Victoria Sinclair smirked, deliberately flashing a victorious glance at Evelyn Carter.

She was convinced someone needed to put Evelyn in her place—and this was far from over.

When the music showcase began, there would be another surprise waiting for Evelyn.

Evelyn clicked her tongue in annoyance. For a brief moment, she considered tossing the divorce agreement away, but the thought vanished just as quickly.

What if someone found it and read the details?

In the end, she tucked it securely into her tote bag.

Truthfully, Nathaniel Whitmore's wealth meant nothing to her. She had only mentioned it to wipe those smug looks off their faces.

Turning on her heel, Evelyn resumed inspecting the hall decorations, ensuring everything was flawless.

This event's success was crucial for her reputation.

Soon, the musicians arrived.

Her attention sharpened when Anthony Kensington appeared, dreading that the notoriously critical man would choose this moment to nitpick.

Elizabeth Hartwell approached him. "Mr. Kensington, could you check if anything needs adjusting with the decorations? We still have time to fix it."

Anthony's sharp gaze swept the room, his usual biting remarks ready—until his eyes landed on Evelyn.

A memory flickered—her connection to Christopher Montgomery. He schooled his expression into neutrality. "Everything looks perfect. No changes needed."

Why would he criticize when the design had already been approved by Christopher himself?

Evelyn exhaled in relief. At least there were no last-minute disasters to handle.

With time running out, she couldn’t afford any setbacks.

The musicians retreated backstage to prepare, while guests gradually filled the hall. Media crews lined the perimeter, cameras poised.

Watching the scene unfold, Evelyn’s nerves flared.

This was her first major campus event. She desperately wanted everything to go smoothly.

Then, she spotted Nathaniel entering the hall, surrounded by middle-aged executives.

Tall, commanding, effortlessly drawing every gaze in the room—he had that effect wherever he went.

Evelyn was certain every woman there was staring.

His eyes lifted, meeting hers. She quickly averted her gaze, pretending she’d just been scanning the crowd.

When she glanced back at the entrance, her breath hitched.

Christopher Montgomery and Victoria Sinclair walked in side by side, deep in conversation.

Evelyn frowned. Since when did they know each other?

At the doorway, Christopher shot Victoria a frosty look. "Give it up. You’ll never be a pianist."

"Christopher—" Victoria refused to accept it.

"Don’t address me so familiarly. I’ve never acknowledged you as family. You’re nothing but a fraud."

His voice was steel, leaving no room for argument.

Victoria clenched her jaw, fury simmering.

Now that she knew the real Montgomery heiress was at this college, she was determined to uncover her identity—before anyone else could.

The Montgomerys must never find the true heiress.

Because Victoria intended to keep that title for herself—forever.
