Part 2 : Same ballroom. Same frozen silence.

The girl stands in front of the richest man.

Her hand opens.

Inside — a half heart-shaped pendant glowing under the chandelier light.

Instant reaction.

The man freezes completely.

His hand slowly rises to his neck — revealing the other half of the exact same pendant.

Shock hits his face.

“No… this can’t be…”

Whispers explode across the room. Guests step back in disbelief.

The girl’s eyes fill with tears:
“Then why did she say… I’m your lost daughter?”

The man stands up abruptly. His voice breaks for the first time:
“Where did you get that…?”
