General

Estelle is the owner and CEO of Mode de Vénus. She hosted a celebratory banquet at the Manning Palace Hotel for her company's victory over the Pax Group at Stellis Fashion Week.

Jen Mendoza is Estelle's only secretary and assistant after Estelle fired her two previous assistants.

News publications have focused on Estelle as the target of rumors and scandals, such as one discussing a business marriage between her and Marius von Hagen. Although Estelle leaked negotiations to improve her company's net worth and popularity, Jen Mendoza claims that Estelle would never treat marriage as a game and highly values it.

Estelle is the eldest daughter in the Marino family, who hail from a neighboring state. According to Marius, the Marinos are wealthy, but their wealth is far from the von Hagens' affluence.

Story

Estelle invited Marius von Hagen to her banquet at Manning Palace Hotel to taunt him after Pax's loss during Stellis Fashion Week. However, she and Jen did not expect Marius to appear. During her speech, Estelle thanked Marius and ate one of his gifted liquor chocolates to prove to attendees that there were no bad relations between their companies.

Between 9 PM and 2 AM, after returning to her hotel room, Estelle died due to tetrodotoxin poisoning from the chocolates Marius had given her. As she was dying, Estelle believed that Marius killed her and wrote "Hagen" on a note, implicating him in her murder.

However, after further investigation, Estelle was killed by her husband, Janus Beaufort.

In 2028, Estelle married Janus overseas to prevent their marriage from becoming public and to protect his acting career. Estelle also fired two of her assistants to keep her marriage a secret. However, Estelle was insecure about their marriage because they could not live together, had to meet in secret, and were often separated due to work. Additionally, Janus was the topic of many scandals, causing Estelle to claim that she despised the media's manipulation of her husband. She would often push Janus to publicize their relationship, going as far as leaking his medical visit to paparazzi. This incident ultimately led to Estelle's poisoning and death.
