Is this person a tycoon or something?

Hector Reiss
Hector Reiss
I'll be fine.
Madeline Reiss
Madeline Reiss
Alright.
We went into a room and there was a woman sitting in a chair.
Who is she?
Is she the boss?
No, she's probably related to him. Or she could be his wife and wants a second one.
What a scumbag.
Levi
Levi
I've brought her as you requested, madam.
