The silence that followed Evelyn's last words hung heavy in the air. It was as though the world had paused, watching the standoff between two women who had spent years in the shadows, battling for control over everything that mattered. Cambria stood poised, her resolve unwavering, while Evelyn wore the mask of a woman who thought she had already won.
But Cambria knew better. She had been underestimated for far too long. And now, she was playing her own game.
"I didn't come here to play games with you, Evelyn," Cambria said, her voice calm but filled with an edge of steel. "I'm not here to ask for your approval or your forgiveness. I'm here to make sure you lose everything you've stolen."
Evelyn's smile flickered, just for a moment, before it returned, sharp and condescending. "Lose everything? You think I'm the one who's losing? You've been trying to bring me down for months, but you're still standing in my office, talking about taking back what's mine. It's adorable, really."
