Chapter 278

The sound of shattering glasses filled the air as the champagne glasses hit the floor.

The champagne drenched the carpet and splashed onto Marcelo’s suit. Yet the woman he held was mostly unscathed, her smoky purple dress only slightly damp at the corner.

A hush fell over the room.

Renee, feeling her heart race, blinked slowly as she looked at Marcelo’s legs. She lifted her gaze to him, her eyes wide with disbelief and panic.

“You..." she began, but couldn't finish as others started to react.

“Marcelo, Marcelo…stood up!" someone called out.

“Marcelo moved faster just now than I ever did in high school. He doesn't look like someone who's been disabled for years!" another voice remarked.

“How...how could this be possible?"

The room buzzed with astonishment.

Members of the King family rushed in, their faces etched with shock. The incident had left them speechless, their expressions empty of any other emotion.

A few insiders, aware of the true situation, appeared particularly distressed.
