Within thirty minutes, the local police department arrived at the venue.
Two officer units escorted Chloe out through the grand double doors.
The guests slowly left the ballroom in total disbelief and chatter.
Mark took Lily to his private office located inside the estate.
He sat down behind his large mahogany desk to make calls.
His chief financial lawyer arrived with heavy legal folders in hand.
They began looking into Chloe private accounts and recent paper trails.
What they discovered was even worse than Mark had ever imagined.
Chloe had massive hidden gambling debts totaling over three million dollars.
She was facing immediate foreclosure on her private beach condo property.
She had insisted on signing the prenup agreement just last week.
However, she had secretly inserted a clause regarding sudden fatal accidents.
If Mark passed away shortly after marriage, the prenup became void.
His entire fifty million dollar estate would transfer directly to her.
She had planned everything down to the finest legal detail carefully.
Mark rubbed his tired eyes, feeling deeply betrayed and sick inside.
He had trusted Chloe for over two long years of dating.
He realized that his wealth was the only thing she loved.
He looked across the quiet room at Lily sitting on sofa.
She was still wearing her green catering apron over simple clothes.
She looked tired but calm after saving his life from ruin.
Mark: You saved me from an absolute nightmare today, Lily.
Lily: I just did what any honest person ought to do.
Mark: Most people would have stayed quiet to save their jobs.
Lily smiled softly and shrugged her shoulders with genuine humbleness.
Mark knew he had to reward her incredible bravery properly now.
