Lavinia Roberts glared at Camila Davis, her voice sharp with contempt. “Camila, you really did raise yourself a fine little lapdog, didn’t you?
But tell me, do you honestly believe someone like you could ever marry a man like Mr. Williams?
Do you even know who he is? And who are you, really?
Take a good look at yourself. Do you really think you’re worthy?
A divorced woman, dragging along a kid from your first marriage—you actually have the nerve to set your sights on the most eligible bachelor in Cabinda, Mr. Williams.
Do you seriously believe the Williams family would ever accept someone like you?
Let’s not even mention that Dennis Williams is the eldest grandson of the Collins family, heir to the most powerful dynasty in the city!
What makes you think he’d ever look your way?”
Harper Thompson stood frozen, momentarily forgetting how to breathe.
She’d met Camila Davis’s boyfriend before—but she had no idea he was this important.
Mr. Williams, from Cabinda’s upper crust.
He was the kind of man at the very top of their world, someone everyone else could only dream of approaching.
Camila Davis’s boyfriend? She could hardly believe it.
A surge of bitter jealousy washed over her. She’d seriously underestimated Camila.
This woman’s charms… they weren’t ordinary at all.
Her ex-husband had been the wealthiest man in Harrisburg, and now she had the most sought-after bachelor in Cabinda at her feet.
Two men perched at the very pinnacle of society, both smitten with her.
Meanwhile, all Harper had managed was Benjamin Torres, and even he was hard to impress.
What did Camila have that she didn’t? How could she possibly deserve this?
Around them, the crowd seethed with the same resentment as Lavinia.
Whether they were daughters of old money or heirs to business empires, they all felt a sour twist of envy.
Divorce was hardly rare these days, and sure, Lavinia’s words were harsh, but she wasn’t exactly wrong.
This was Dennis Williams they were talking about.
Even they had to look up to him.
In their eyes, Dennis Williams deserved nothing but the best—a woman born to privilege, grace, and status.
