The Côte d'Azur housed some of the wealthiest families in the world. Politicians, oil barons, tech moguls—all manner of elite gathered along the Mediterranean coastline, their fortunes allowing them to live in splendid isolation from the chaos consuming the rest of humanity.

No, she told Adam Rousseau was not even their family name, no. In the inner circle, whatever that was, they were known as House Montrevane.
Clementine didn't really explain their history, but she said that their wealth wasn't just substantial—it was boundless, rivaling the gross domestic product of entire nations. While other families counted their riches in billions, the Rousseaus measured theirs in influence, in the ability to shape governments and topple economies with a single phone call.
