Mission Accomplished

[ At Jones Hotel… ]

Amid the stunned silence, as the patriarch of the Jones Family, Oscar grabbed the microphone from the host and stepped forward, his expression grave as he addressed the bewildered guests.

"Everyone, I regret to inform you that this gathering must come to an end," Oscar announced, his voice carrying authority and solemnity. "Due to unforeseen circumstances, we must bring this evening to a close."

A murmur of confusion rippled through the crowd as Oscar's words sank in, mingling with the lingering shock of Melody's arrest.

"Again. I apologize for this. We will give our statement to the media about the postponement of my son's engagement party."

With a sullen look on his face, Oscar motioned for the staff to begin ushering the guests towards the exits, the once vibrant atmosphere now tinged with an air of confusion and intrigue.
