Chapter 747:
“Seriously? That sounds amazing p>
“I’m dying to know what she looks like. Is she already on campus p>
Elliana’s lips curled into a quiet, knowing smile.
Inside the room, Trinity’s expression faltered—the glow of flattery fading ever so slightly as her eyes narrowed. Just moments earlier, all eyes had been on her. She viewed herself as the epitome of beauty, brilliance, and pedigree. The queen of wherever she went, talented in her academics, and from one of the city’s most respected families.
She had been relishing the admiration, basking in her usual spotlight. But now? That light was shifting. The mere mention of an overseas heiress had stolen the air from the room. Faces that once looked to her with admiration now sparkled with curiosity for someone they hadn’t even met.
Trinity’s smile stiffened. Her hands curled into fists, nails digging sharply into her palms. She loathed sharing attention. She wasn’t built for second place—never had been.
Sensing the change in Trinity’s mood, Mindy Gallagher—one of her more devoted satellites—leapt to her defense. “Seriously, how powerful can this Lilah girl’s background be? I bet it’s hardly as impressive as Trinity’s. You’d think she was royalty the way you’re all acting p>
“Let’s not forget who Trinity is. She’s the daughter of the Craig family and lives with the Evanses! And her sister—her biological sister—is the adopted daughter of the Campbell family!” Dylan Brewer, never one to miss a chance to ride a coattail, added, “You guys know the Campbell family, right? They’re the ones behind Sun Group. Global. Elite. Untouchable. Compared to that, who even is Lilah p>
The Campbell family’s name rarely surfaced in public conversation. They were discreet, almost mythic. Most students had never heard of them, and for those who had, details were scarce. Sun Group was even more enigmatic. It didn’t advertise. It didn’t need to. Its influence was so vast and high-level that it simply didn’t touch ordinary lives. But it existed, just a few keystrokes away. And so, one by one, phones came out to search the Sun Group online. Gasps rippled through the room.

“Holy crap… Sun Group is massive p>
“This is on another level. I had no idea p>
“If the Campbells really run the Sun Group… Trinity’s practically royalty herself p>
Dylan’s grin widened as the room buzzed with awe. He leaned in, delivering the final blow with smug satisfaction. “Word is, Cole—the current head of the Evans family—is about to get engaged to the Campbell heiress. Once that engagement happens, the Evans and Campbell families will be inseparably linked. And Trinity? She’ll be the cherished gem of not one, but two financial empires p>
Gasps turned into stunned silence as the full weight of those words settled. Heads swiveled toward Trinity, eyes wide with a blend of awe, envy, and thinly veiled fear.
“Who would’ve guessed Trinity’s background was this powerful? She lives with the Evans family, her sister’s part of the Campbell dynasty, and now those two families are merging? They’ll practically own the world p>
“With backing like that, Trinity’s a real-life princess. No way I’d risk crossing her. Just being on her bad side could ruin you p>
Trinity savored every word. This was the validation she craved—the reverence, the deference. The feeling of being untouchable. Still, she wore her mask well. She gave a gentle smile and waved a hand delicately. “Oh, please. Don’t put me on a pedestal. I may come from a privileged background, but I truly value kindness and friendship. I’d love to be friends with all of you p>
