Chapter 297

On the day of Helen’s exclusive gathering, influential women from across the capital and the families of top-tier executives all arrived at the Hell Monarch Estate. The event had been announced as a “winter showcase,” designed to highlight the estate’s rare orchid collection. Yet, there hadn’t been any snowfall that day, and the orchids had recently been relocated to a private greenhouse, where, despite expert care, only a few blossoms had dared to bloom this season. But the flowers or the weather were never truly the point. Everyone knew Helen’s gathering was a carefully orchestrated display of power and status.
