Chapter 7 - The New Era
Three weeks after the Paris Fashion Week scandal, the board of directors of Vance Fashion House convened an extraordinary general meeting at their headquarters in Paris.
The long mahogany table was surrounded by senior shareholders, international investors, and chief creative officers from around the world.
Sitting at the head of the table was Elena Vance, dressed in an elegant navy blazer, her demeanor radiating calm confidence and complete professional mastery.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Elena announced, pressing a button on her tablet to project the new seasonal financial report onto the main wall screen. "Following the removal of former senior management, our international pre-orders for the winter couture collection have increased by three hundred percent."
The board members applauded enthusiastically, nodding in complete agreement.
"Furthermore," Elena continued, "we are establishing the Vance Apprentice Foundation—a program designed specifically to protect junior designers from creative theft, ensuring that all original concepts remain fully credited and compensated under company contracts."
The room erupted into another round of applause. The board members, who had once viewed Elena as merely an inexperienced heiress, now looked at her with immense respect.
Meanwhile, news of Camille’s pending criminal trial broke across international fashion media outlets. Her former celebrity clients publicly severed all ties with her, and rival fashion houses placed her name on a permanent industry blacklist.
