High society thrived on gossip, and a battle for the sole heir of a top-tier billionaire family was prime material.
Rafael's early death had put a spotlight on the family. With The Sanders Conglomerate controlling hundreds of billions and continuously setting market records, Finnian's every move was heavily scrutinized.
Though he aggressively killed any media coverage of his personal life, a young, handsome, and powerful CEO naturally attracted rumors.
There were whispers of late-night meetings with a famous actress or a female financial executive, but none were ever proven—likely just tabloids chasing clicks.
In contrast, Noelle was a far more credible candidate. Having lived with the family for eighteen years and building a deep bond with Finnian, she was highly favored by insiders.
She was young, stunningly beautiful, and actively involved in his business. On paper, they were a perfect match. For a man at the absolute pinnacle of power, letting a woman into his inner circle was rare. If Noelle hadn't been under his protection from the start, all her ambition and capability wouldn't have earned his attention.
Kaia was the living proof of that.
Despite her brilliance and radiant complexion, she came from a modest background and refused to play high-society games. Seven years of marriage had resulted in a relationship as bland as tap water. The public consensus was that the divorce countdown had already started.
Finnian's actions strongly suggested he was fully preparing for promoting the widowed sister-in-law.
While the concept was morally bankrupt, the ultra-rich elite viewed the freedom to choose whoever they wanted as the ultimate prize of their wealth.
The banquet began to wind down around 3:00 PM. Guests filtered out, and the lively courtyard grew quiet.
