Chapter 702

As time marched on, the weekend arrived.

Tonight, the Chambers Estate was a spectacle of opulence and grandeur. The grand fountain at the heart of the courtyard was restarted with vigor, while the mansion’s halls bloomed with floral arrangements, resembling a lavish palace.

Guests converged in the main hall, with fine attire and perfumed hair, the clinking of glasses and lively banter filling the air.

Ever since Bertha Chambers had faced a harsh sentence, and Byron met a grim end behind bars, a series of business blunders had sent the Chambers Group’s stocks tumbling. The entire group was reeling from an unprecedented blow, a shadow of gloom over it for far too long. But tonight, the Chambers shone brightly once more.

Jeff walked among the guests with Matthew and Elva, basking in the adulation that hadn’t graced their ears in a long time, pride swelling within him.

“Look! Mrs. Chambers‘ gown–isn’t that a Eunice original?”

“Indeed, it is! Camille’s signature style is unmistakable, it’s absolutely stunning!”

It’s amazing what the right clothes can do. She used to be just arm candy next to Matthew, but tonight? She’s stealing the show!” As compliments swirled around him, Matthew stood tall, a look of smug satisfaction on his face. His wife is being complimented, which reflected well on him too, and he felt greatly pleased inside.

“Elva, you’re making me proud tonight.”

He caressed his wife’s delicate hand, whispering with a chuckle, “Wait until we get home–I’ll give you a proper reward.”

Elva suppressed her disgust, her lips curling into a charming smile.
