EPILOGUE: “No Crowns, Just Corsages”
The next morning, the Shiny Sheet split its coverage right down the middle:

“Tradition Triumphs: Margaret Evans Hosts Ball of the Decade”
“Calista DeVere Dazzles Palm Beach with ‘Rebellion on the Sea’”
Margaret got her crown. Calista got her headline. But both knew this wasn’t the end. Not even close.
Because beneath the manicured palms of Florida’s most exclusive zip code, society isn’t built on parties.
It’s built on power.
And Calista?
She hadn’t even unpacked yet.
