Chapter 8 - THE WEDDING GUESTS LEARNED THE WRONG LESSONThe story went public.

Secret children crash billionaire wedding.
Bride exposed.
Lost fiancée alive.
People loved it.
Adrian hated it.
Especially headlines calling Clara:
THE SECRET HEIRESS.
She was eight.
He had his lawyers push for privacy.
Photos removed where possible.
No interviews.
No inheritance discussion in front of her.
One reporter shouted:
“Clara, do you know you may inherit Mercer Maritime?”
Adrian stepped between them.
“She knows she has math homework.”
That ended the interaction.

Good.
Children are not succession devices.
