She knew she had to take charge. “Ladies and gentlemen,” she began, her voice steady despite the chaos swirling inside her, “I deeply apologize for the unexpected interruption.” Her gaze shifted to Lisa, whose face was twisted with anger. “Lisa,” Sarah continued, her tone measured but firm, “I understand you’re going through a difficult time, but this is neither the time nor the place for this.” She tried to maintain her composure, but the strain in her voice betrayed how impossible that felt.

Lisa, undeterred by Sarah’s response, launched into a tirade, her words laced with venom. “Sarah is unfit to be part of this family!” she declared, her voice deliberately loud enough to carry across the room. The atmosphere grew heavy with tension, and the unease among the guests was palpable. Sarah, though shaken, steadied herself, determined not to falter. She drew in a deep breath and turned to Mark, her gaze silently pleading for his support. Mark hesitated, his expression conflicted as he looked between his sister and his bride.
