Chapter 97

• Cassandra’s POV
• Vivian’s words hit me like a tidal wave. If anyone else had spoken them, they might not have mattered. But coming from Vivian a self-made tycoon who had clawed her way to the top, crushed every obstacle in her path, and built a corporate empire with grit and brilliance they carried undeniable weight.
• Vivian wasn’t just a name in the business world; she was a legend. Her reputation had been forged through billion-dollar acquisitions, crisis management under pressure, and her willingness to step into the trenches when others ran. That she was willing to back me publicly, and without hesitation, meant something. It shook me to my core. All my doubts dissolved in that moment.
