The celebration continued long after sunset.
Music drifted through the estate.
Laughter echoed from room to room.
For the first time in what felt like forever, everyone seemed genuinely happy.
No crises.
No scandals.
No corporate disasters.
No secrets threatening to explode.
Just family.
Friends.
And a newly engaged couple who couldn't stop smiling at each other.
Victor claimed he deserved partial credit for the engagement.
Nobody agreed.
Especially Dante.
"Without me, none of this would have happened."
"You've contributed nothing," Elena informed him.
Victor looked offended.
"I contributed emotional support."
"You contributed noise."
Adrian nearly choked on his drink.
Victor pointed at him immediately.
"See? He appreciates me."
"I absolutely do not."
The argument continued.
As usual.
Meanwhile, Camille sat beside Cassandra near one of the estate's terraces.
The evening breeze felt pleasant against her skin.
She glanced down at the engagement ring again.
