Celeste Harrington speaks with Vincent Blackwood in a high-rise luxury penthouse lounge. She offers him family funding and useful business contacts. Vincent mentions his marriage to Lena, but Celeste invites him to her family's upcoming gathering anyway.
Lena sits inside The Gilded Bean cafe and opens a photo on her phone. The image depicts Vincent and Celeste shaking hands. Lena opens her journal and writes down details about Celeste being the heroine destined to save and marry Vincent.
“I know what you need right now. Not sympathy, actual capital.”
“You know who I'm married to.”
“You need a partner who can open every door that was closed on you. I happen to be that person.”
