Kael nodded calmly, his expression steady as he looked at her, “That’s the only option right now, it’s about to rain, don’t worry… you’re safe with me.”Ariana hesitated for a brief moment, her thoughts running quickly as she weighed her options, but the situation was clear, staying outside longer wasn’t safe, and finding a hotel this late would cost her more money and time than she could afford.“He’s a nice person… I don’t think he’ll harm me,” she whispered softly to herself.She took a small breath, then nodded. Without saying anything more, she stepped forward, opened the car door, and got inside, settling into the seat as the tension in her shoulders eased slightly.Kael followed and got in as well, the driver started the engine and the car moved.Just then, the rain came down harder. The drizzle turned into a steady fall, tapping against the car windows as the streets outside blurred slightly under the lights.Inside the car, the atmosphere turned quiet almost immediately, the

The moment Kael heard that, his attention sharpened immediately. Since it concerned Celeste, his expression became more focused. “Please,” he said calmly, “tell me.” “Elowen’s voice continued calmly from the other side of the call, “I already looked deeply into the situation and spoke to the necessary people involved. The person who approved the termination because of the Montclair family’s influence has already been reprimanded internally.” Kael’s eyes brightened slightly as he listened quietly. “And regarding Celeste Morgan,” Elowen continued, “she will officially be restored to her position tomorrow.” The moment he heard that, Kael felt relieved immediately. A faint smile appeared on his face as he nodded lightly to himself. “Thank you, Miss Valecrest,” he said sincerely. “I appreciate the help.” “It’s nothing,” Elowen replied softly. “Honestly, the situation wasn’t handled fairly in the first place.” A brief silence followed before her voice came again. “So… I was wonderin

A faint smile appeared on Elijah’s face after hearing that.“Understood, Dad,” he replied immediately.Meanwhile, back at Kael’s place, the food he ordered finally arrived after some time. Kael got up calmly and went to receive it before bringing everything inside.The warm smell of food quickly filled the house.“Come on,” Kael said lightly as he carried the bags toward the dining area.Ariana followed behind him quietly before the both of them sat down across from each other at the dining table and began eating.For a while, the atmosphere remained calm and quiet, only the soft sounds of utensils and plates occasionally breaking the silence.Then after some time, Kael lifted his eyes slightly toward Ariana.“Your parents,” he asked casually, “are they in Valaris too?”Ariana nodded lightly after hearing his question.“Yes,” she replied softly. “They stay around the outskirts of the city actually, so I’m mostly on my own here.”Kael nodded calmly while eating before asking another qu

Kael nodded. “Is everything alright? What do you need help with?”Before Celeste could reply to him, her phone started ringing. She frowned instantly as she saw the caller ID, she then turned the phone to face Elijah.“He's calling again, Raymond.” she saidKael looked at the phone screen, it was indeed a call from Raymond Sterling.“Let me have the phone, I'll talk to him.” He said, sounding super annoyed.Celeste nodded and then handed the phone to him. He immediately answered the call and lifted the phone to his earThe moment the call connected, Raymond’s angry voice immediately came through from the other side.“Celeste Morgan, it seems I’ve been too patient with you. You really don’t understand how angry I am right now. I know very well you have other businesses and money of your own, so because of that, you don’t even seem bothered about securing your position as manager of Aurelia Heights anymore, right?”His voice became colder.“But I’m giving you one final chance. If not, I

“230,000 bucks?” Kael muttered softly while looking at the luxurious Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE 63 S Coupe 2026 displayed proudly at the center of the showroom.Honestly, to most people there, that amount was expensive, but to Kael, it really wasn’t anything serious compared to the money currently sitting in his account, and the more he looked at the SUV, the more interested he became.So before Vivian Laurent could even continue speaking further, Kael calmly raised his hand.“I’m interested,” he said directly.The sudden words instantly cut Vivian Laurent off midway.At the same moment, the entire showroom became quieter. People immediately turned around one after another toward the direction the voice came from.Then they saw Kael standing there casually among the crowd. Vivian Laurent blinked slightly in surprise before looking at him carefully.“Excuse me?” she asked, slightly stunned by the sudden interruption.“I said I’m interested,” Kael replied calmly while looking directly at the
