Chapter 83 

I could hear Rebecca’s voice coming faintly from behind, “Ash, I’m surprised that Scarlett is acquainted with Mr. Stovall from Animus. No wònder Cameron told me that the guests tonight are all big names and prominent people.”

Animus Corporation?

Rather than a birthday banquet, it would be better to describe the party as a gathering of the societal elites. That night, Cameron was garbed in a black velvet gown that had golden flowers embroidered onto it and a pair of exquisite aquamarine-adorned high heels.
