Billionaire’s Daughter Refuses All the Models—Points at the Maid and Says: “She’s My Mom!”
The ballroom glittered with chandeliers, polished marble floors, and the hushed whispers of people who knew they were in the presence of wealth beyond imagination. Billionaire real estate mogul Richard Caldwell had spared no expense. He had flown in twelve world-renowned models from Paris, Milan, and New York.
