Chapter 3 Thorough investigation

In New York, at the Lexington Crown Hotel.

The union of the Konstantine family and the Gold family had sent shockwaves throughout New York.

As the most prominent family in New York, the Konstantine family attracted countless people eager to get close to them.

Dominic Gold, dressed in a sharp suit, stood in the banquet hall, basking in the compliments and flattery from the crowd. He chuckled continuously, his aged face lighting up with smiles.

"Thank you, thank you all for coming to my daughter's engagement ceremony."

"The ceremony will begin shortly, please take your seats."In high society, the Gold family held a lowly status.

But so what!?

His daughter was marrying Maxim Constantine, and those who had never even glanced at him before were now scrambling to curry favor with him.

Thinking this, Dominic's smirk grew even more pronounced.

...

In the banquet hall, as a soothing piano melody

filled the air, all eyes were fixed on the large, closed doors at the far end.

The auspicious moment had arrived.

With a loud crash, the doors were pushed open forcefully.

But stepping out was not Anna Gold and Maxim Constantine

Instead, it was...

A girl.

Dressed in a knee-length white gown, she looked even more radiant, her flawless skin glowing like a celestial being who had wandered into the mortal realm, captivating everyone's gaze.

However, the beautiful eyes of hers held a chilling frost that seemed to pierce through the air.

Upon seeing her, Dominic's smile vanished instantly. He stared in disbelief, his eyes wide as he staggered backward. "Y-You... Tatiana!?"

At his words, the entire room erupted in shock.

The eldest daughter of the Gold family?

Wasn't she supposed to have died two years ago?

Everyone present knew that Dominic was the son-in-law of the Blackwell family, who had climbed to his current position by leveraging the Blackwell family's reputation and status in New York.

After Isabelle Knight passed away from illness, Ralph's career took off, and he no longer regarded the Blackwell family with any respect.

Within a month, he married his mistress, Camile Hale, and his illegitimate daughter, Wendy Hold, quickly became the legitimate heiress of the Price family.

But what about the original heiress, Tatiana Gold?

She had perished in a kidnapping incident two years ago!

Since then, Dominic had officially taken over the Knight family's assets, rebranding the Knight company as the Gold family Group, which led to the current success of the Gold family.

To everyone's shock, Tatiana was still alive!

As she walked step by step toward Dominic, meeting the astonished gazes of the guests, a cold smile crept onto her lips. "Father, I see you still remember me."

After escaping her perilous situation, she initially planned to return to this family to seek revenge on the previous owner.

However, the previous Tatiana was frail and lacked any powerful backing, making it difficult to carry out her plans for revenge.

So, she quietly spent two years strategizing.

Now, upon hearing that the Gold family was set to arrange a marriage with a prominent family, she decided it was time to stir the pot!

Everything they had done to the original owner was about to be repaid, and she was ready to make things right!

At that moment, Camile's face was as pale as a sheet of paper.

Damn it!

That little brat, Malcom Hale, what on earth was he doing? Didn't he say that Tatiana had already been fed to the sharks?

But soon, she regained her composure.

Before Dominic could say a word, Camille rushed onto the stage, eager to take the lead. "Tatiana, it's so good to see you alive! Do you know how much your father has missed you?

Why didn't you come back sooner so we could all be together?"

Dominic missed her?

He probably just wanted her to die sooner!

Tatiana later discovered that the day after her kidnapping, Dominic had announced her death, conveniently taking control of the entire Knight Family fortune.

If anyone believed that Dominic had nothing to do with her kidnapping, Tatiana certainly didn't!

"The reason I didn't come back immediately was to find out the whereabouts of my kidnappers," she replied coldly, her voice as sharp as ice.

Searching for the kidnappers?

"What do you mean kidnappers? I was told you had an accident". Dominic said nervously.

Having an accident without investigating? What a joke!.

Fortunately, when the previous owner was kidnapped, she had been clever enough to seize the opportunity amidst the chaos to rip a chain off the kidnapper's neck and hide it on her person.

Now, she pulled out a silver chain, about the thickness of her pinky finger, adorned with six sparkling diamonds.

Raising it high for everyone to see, her gaze was firmly locked on Dominic and Camile as she spoke slowly and deliberately, "This is something I tore off the kidnapper back then! With this, we can definitely find them!"

At the sight of the necklace, Camile's face instantly paled several shades.

She recognized the necklace immediately. She personally bought the necklace for Malcom in an auction.

How did Tatiana get it?.

If this got out, not only would Malcom be in trouble, but so would she and the entire Gold family!

"Tatiana, give me the chain! I promise I'll help you find the kidnapper!" Camille reached out, trying to snatch the chain from Tatiana's hands.

Was she trying to destroy the evidence?

"Dream on!"

Tatiana raised an eyebrow and took two steps back, causing Camille to lunge forward and nearly crash into the table.

"No thanks, I'm planning to hand the necklace over to the police. I'm sure they can bring the kidnappers to justice!"

She stared at Camille with a half-smile, a clear threat in her eyes.

Hand it over to the police!?Hand it over to the police!?

No way! Absolutely not! Camille gritted her teeth.

Camille tried snatching the necklace but Tatiana moved back immediately causing her to hit the table.

At that moment, Dominic also realized the seriousness of the situation. Without hesitation, he rushed in front of Tatiana and whispered fiercely, "Give me the necklace! Hurry up!"

"Dad, if you value this necklace so much, anyone would think it's yours!" Tatiana said, bending slightly and smirking.

"You... what are you talking about? I'm just trying to help you!" Dominic was furious, his teeth grinding in frustration.

Suddenly, a cold voice echoed from a distance.

"Causing a scene at my engagement ceremony? Do you want to get yourself killed?"
