My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 64

The Lockwood Group's board members were household names in the world of affluence, each having made a mark on the national rich list. They also had control over the leading entertainment empire, Starlight Media, and were credited with catapulting celebrities like Isabella into the limelight. They were the epitome of both wealth and power.

Xanthea calmly screwed the cap back on her makeup remover, her audacious words sending a shock wave through the room.

"Why should I?" Judy began, but Isabella cut her off with a nod towards a camera above the makeup room. Judy turned and froze.

There were cameras here?

Had they captured her cursing and her embarrassing moment with the makeup remover? If that footage got out...
