The moment Celeste asked that question, everyone inside the dining hall turned toward Kael simultaneously. Even Celeste's dad and mom were staring at him now, waiting for his answer. Tristan's breathing had become uneven, and although he did not want to believe it, deep down he was already terrified of what he was about to hear. Kael simply smiled and nodded calmly. "When I called Lord Dominic earlier, did all of you really think I was joking? Of course I made that call. Do you seriously believe it was just some coincidence that I called someone, and a few minutes later Tristan received a termination notice?" The entire room fell silent. Celeste felt a wave of shock rush through her heart. So it was true, Kael really knew Lord Dominic personally. Not only that, but their relationship was important enough that Lord Dominic was willing to fire someone with a single phone call from him. At that moment, both her parents were equally stunned. Earlier, they had looked down on Kael be

Mr. Morgan's unexpected question had barely settled in the dining hall when Celeste, who had just taken another bite of food, suddenly choked. She immediately began coughing repeatedly, her beautiful face turning slightly red from the sudden surprise.Without wasting a second, Kael quickly reached for the glass of water beside him and handed it over."Slowly, don't rush."Celeste accepted the glass, took several small sips, and only after a while did her coughing gradually stop."Thank you," she said softly before placing the glass back on the table.Only then did Mr. Morgan look back toward Kael once more."So, Kael, you still haven't answered my question. When exactly do you intend on marrying my daughter?"Kael opened his mouth, intending to answer, but before he could say anything, Celeste hurriedly interrupted."Dad, isn't that a little too early?"Mr. Morgan frowned. "Too early? Too early for what exactly?"Celeste looked helplessly at both of her parents before speaking patient

The moment Celeste asked that question, Kael became slightly quiet.His mind immediately drifted back to that particular night when Celeste had lost her position at Aurelia Heights Estate. After learning what had happened, he had quietly called Elowen Valecrest and instructed her to settle everything.Even though all was solved, he never intended to take credit for helping her.More importantly, he didn't want Celeste to feel as though she owed him anything because of what he had done.After remaining silent for a few seconds, Kael simply smiled before shaking his head."Just like I told you the last time, I really had nothing to do with that matter."Celeste continued staring at him without blinking, as though she was trying to determine whether he was telling the truth or simply hiding something again."I honestly don't think so."She slowly folded both arms before continuing thoughtfully."I somehow feel you were the one who secretly helped me, but for some reason you simply don't

"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
