Timothy's Penthouse - Saturday Afternoon, 4:47 PM
Emily sat in the living room, surrounded by her chosen family, waiting for Stephanie's press conference to begin.
Timothy sat beside her, his hand holding hers. Sebastian had multiple screens set up showing different news channels. Ming Li was stress-eating snacks while trying to look calm. Even Rodriguez had joined them, curious to see the conclusion of this revenge arc.
"She might not go through with it," Timothy warned. "Stephanie could panic at the last minute. Could try to run instead of confessing."
"Then she runs and I file charges," Emily said simply. "Either way, the truth comes out. Either way, everyone knows what she did."
At exactly 5 PM, all the news channels cut to the same feed: Stephanie Smith, standing at a podium outside a law office, looking pale and terrified, surrounded by cameras.
