"It actually depends on the size of the project, the location, and the kind of standard you're aiming for."She paused briefly before continuing,"If you're talking about an ordinary student hostel with basic facilities, then it wouldn't be too expensive. But from the way you're asking, I'm guessing you mean something much better than that."Kael nodded lightly."Yes. I'm talking about something modern, comfortable, and high-end. Somewhere students would genuinely enjoy living.”Celeste thought carefully before answering."In that case, you'll need quite a large piece of land first. Then you'll have to build several apartment blocks, furnish every room, provide constant electricity, water supply, good security, internet facilities, parking spaces, a cafeteria, a laundry area, recreational spots, and probably a small supermarket too.”She folded her arms while mentally calculat

Celeste looked from her father to her mother in disbelief."If both of you are joking, then please stop now because this isn't funny at all. I'm honestly not in the mood for this."Mrs. Morgan's expression immediately became serious."Who is joking with you? Your father and I are completely serious. He has to pay one million bucks."Celeste turned toward her father."Dad, are you actually serious right now? Are both of you simply trying to extort Kael? Or do you just dislike him so much that you're looking for a way to chase him away? What exactly do you mean by one million bucks?"She took a deep breath before continuing."Do you even know I can't just transfer one million bucks from my personal account this very minute without making preparations for over a month?"Mr. Morgan nodded."My daughter, we know you're financially comfortable. Even if you can't provide that amount immediately, you can always do it later because you're working and building your future."He then looked direc

"Mom... what?"Celeste's beautiful eyes widened in complete disbelief after hearing what her mother had just whispered into her ear."You actually told me to get pregnant for Kael? How... how can you even say something like that? Are you really that shameless?"Her face instantly turned bright red from embarrassment."You actually want me to get pregnant just because..."She couldn't even finish the sentence before stomping her foot on the floor in frustration.Mrs. Morgan couldn't help laughing after seeing her daughter's reaction."My dear, one day you'll understand exactly what I mean.""I don't want to understand anything!"Celeste covered her face for a brief moment before looking helplessly at her mother."You're honestly unbelievable."Without waiting for another reply, she turned around and quickly walked back toward the dining table while still trying to calm her racing heartbeat.Mrs. Morgan smiled to herself before following behind her at a much slower pace.The moment they

"Come with me?" Kael repeated with genuine surprise written across his face as he looked directly at Selene, clearly not expecting such an invitation from her.He remained quiet for a brief moment before suddenly remembering the conversation he had seen inside the university group the previous night.He clearly remembered how Elijah Montclair had publicly declared that he would personally pay for Selene's excursion expenses and accompany her during the trip.Looking back at Selene, Kael smiled faintly before asking, "I actually saw the announcement in the university group last night. Didn't Elijah already say he would be covering your expenses? That means you two are supposed to be going together, right?"Selene froze instantly after hearing those words, her beautiful eyes widening ever so slightly before she unconsciously bit her lower lip.She hadn't expected Kael to have seen the messages inside the group, much less remember exact

Kael's expression immediately changed when he finally realized that the well-dressed man standing respectfully before him was actually Samuel Wright.The reason he had failed to recognize him earlier was simple, although both of them had spoken several times over the phone, they had never actually met each other face-to-face before today."So you're really Samuel Wright," Kael said with a smile, finally understanding why the man had approached him with such overwhelming respect.Samuel Wright nodded warmly before replying, "Yes, Mr. Danaru, we have spoken several times over the phone, but this is indeed our first time meeting personally."The people inside the VIP lounge were already staring at Kael with increasing curiosity, especially after hearing Samuel declare that the entire bank was at his service.Several of them couldn't help wondering exactly who this young man was, because they had never seen Samuel personally welcome any customer with such overwhelming respect.Even the yo
