Chantal receives a terse note asking to see her before a flight, then attends her engagement banquet with Laurent. At the party Laurent returns a dropped item and calls her “my dear fiancée,” while guests praise the match and Frost Group’s stock surge is mentioned. Organizers expect Master Jason but he's late despite being contacted. Mid‑celebration a guest shatters the mood: “I never expected your fiancé to be my brother.” The declaration reframes relationships and stalls the celebration, leaving the banquet unsettled as guests absorb the new family tie and Jason’s absence remains urgent.
