Chapter 14 - The engagement story goes public
Someone leaked.
Not me.
Not Victor, as far as we knew.
Headline:
ROMANO-KNOX ENGAGEMENT COLLAPSES AFTER CHILD-CONFINEMENT ALLEGATION.
Another:
MAFIA HEIR ATTACKS FIANCÉE AT PARTY.
Both were partly true.
That is the problem with headlines.
I issued one statement:
“My daughter’s safety matter is being handled through appropriate legal processes. My own conduct at the event is also under review. Romano and Knox commercial relationships are governed independently from personal relationships.”
Boring.
Good.
Seraphine’s spokesperson issued:
“Ms. Knox denies abusing Liora Romano and maintains that the child was placed temporarily in a safe room during adult functions.”
Safe room.
Again.
I wanted to respond.
Evelyn said:
“No.”
So I did something increasingly difficult.
May you like
Nothing.
