The ballroom buzzed louder as the night deepened.
Champagne flowed endlessly. Music drifted softly beneath expensive conversations. Camera flashes still burst every few seconds near the main entrance.
But now the attention wasn't just on Dante anymore.
It was Camille too.
And somehow
that changed everything.
"Miss Laurent, the investors from Singapore are requesting a private meeting next week."
"Camille, the Forbes editor personally asked for an exclusive interview."
"Aurum Holdings stocks rose another twelve percent tonight."
The words followed her everywhere now.
Success. Power. Influence.
People watched her differently.
Not like a girl who survived scandal.
Like a woman becoming dangerous.
Camille stood near one of the ballroom mirrors adjusting the diamond bracelet around her wrist while several executives nearby continued whispering about her.
"She completely transformed that company in three months."
