Chapter 334

• Hell Monarch Estate buzzed with energy that morning, hosting a who's who of the city’s elite senior executives, influential board members, and top-tier investors all gathered under one roof. Those absent were attending high-profile events at Silverstone Holdings or Valor Group, the other power centers in town. Yet, the main focus at Hell Monarch wasn’t me, Cassandra the sharp and ambitious businesswoman who had just announced her engagement to Rafael, one of the city's most influential heirs. Instead, all eyes were drawn to Adrian Russell and the group of executives he had brought along.

• Once, the Russell family had been at the heart of the capital’s financial elite, but they had deliberately stepped back from the spotlight years ago, carving out a unique niche by founding their own powerhouse investment firm. Some industry insiders whispered that while no single individual officially controlled the financial markets, Adrian’s influence was effectively unrivaled.
