Which meant Andres couldn't let Lincoln die quickly.
He needed Lincoln alive—alive long enough to talk.
Andres looked at Hans. "Who do you think the inside man is?"
Everyone on that guest list came from money and influence. Hans didn't dare accuse anyone lightly, but he still voiced his suspicion.
"On the surface… among all the guests, the only one with a real conflict with you is Declan Fulton—the Fulton family's eldest."
"With Mr. Fulton's reach and resources, slipping Lincoln onto the boat wouldn't be impossible."
Declan.
Andres rolled the name around in his mind, sinking into thought.
…
Across town, the Morales family was in a level of chaos they'd never seen before.
It started when Isla caught Luka in bed with a salesgirl from a high-end jewelry boutique.
Furious, Isla didn't even try to keep up appearances. She went after the girl right there, fists flying. The scene caused a public spectacle—and launched the Morales family straight into the headlines.
Luka couldn't wrap his head around it. He'd cheated before. Why had it turned into this?
And Isla couldn't believe her husband had sunk so low he'd go after a store clerk.
No wonder, every time she shopped at that boutique, Luka insisted on tagging along like the doting husband—hovering, opening doors, smiling for the staff.
It hadn't been about her at all.
The hired accounts seized the moment, flooding feeds with stories about Isla's "quiet charity work" since leaving the spotlight, polishing her into a saint.
Meanwhile, the salesgirl was fired by the boutique and dragged through the mud online, her name climbing the trending lists for all the wrong reasons.
Anya—miraculously alive after everything—went home and quietly did her part too. Using her hacking skills, she filtered and deleted posts that attacked Isla, sweeping the worst of it out of sight.
In less than two days, between Anya's cleanup and the paid narrative control, the scandal was pushed down by newer trends.
Isla—retired for years—ended up getting a fresh wave of attention, and plenty of wives living with cheating husbands took a bitter kind of satisfaction from watching her "fight back."
But even if the internet calmed, the Morales house didn't.
Inside the family, the cracks only widened.
Luka was furious at Isla's stupidity. The moment the scandal caught fire online, Morales Group stock started sliding hard.
