Meanwhile, as Camilla rested on the sleek metallic chair, she slowly glanced through her phone. What she saw was astonishing.She squinted her eyes, reading again to be sure she wasn’t imagining things.“How?” she whispered in surprise.“Just now, the Zack Group has been completely canceled from partnering with Zenith Lux.” Her voice trembled with disbelief.“Has the new president found them unworthy? Or did Mr. Harrison just decide this out of the blue?” she muttered to herself, trying to process the situation.She kept thinking about how everything had shifted so drastically—from Zack Group being at the top to getting demoted, and now vanishing completely.How was this even possible? She couldn’t fathom it.“See this,” Camilla turned her phone towards Desmond, urging him to take a look.Desmond already knew what she wanted to show him. He took a quick glance and nodded with a knowing smile.“Are you sure you saw what I just showed you? They’ve been dismissed by Zenith Lux!” she said

How could the Frederick Group, a company of such caliber, have reached that stage without assistance?Impossible!She must be lying about doing nothing. She just doesn’t want anyone to know. That way, the masses wouldn’t see them as weak. But the truth is obvious, no one even needs to say it out loud."Okay, fine. Do you remember this?"

Desmond and Camilla entered the hall while everyone was already seated.Special guests of Zenith Lux members mostly filled the reserved section, while others who were still lobbying for a stance in the company made up the rest of the crowd.Not that they weren’t wealthy enough, but Zenith Lux was beyond classic; its standards were strict and unwavering, and its prestige was unmatched.So, if anyone made it in either at the ultra-exclusive level or under it, they were considered a success, a name that echoed in elite circles.Desmond and Camilla walked over and sat in the few empty seats among the special guests.Heads turned, and whispers spread like wildfire.Fine, a few people recognized Camilla. Not all. The Fredericks hadn’t held any known post at Zenith Lux until just a few weeks ago.But Desmond? No one knew him.So it felt odd, so unreal that some random couple would walk straight to the seats meant for distinguished guests.There was a flicker of confusion across several fac
