Chapter 315
Ezekiel leaned back in his chair slightly, his hand resting casually on the table as he glanced between Marcellus and Zane. A small, approving smile spread across his face as he nodded.“Well, I agree with you, Marcellus,” he said in a calm, thoughtful tone. “It would be a wonderful thing for both our families. The Haldens and the Valencias—two pillars of strength. And if our children, both smart, well-raised, and ambitious, find common ground between them, then I see no reason why not.”He turned to Celestine briefly, offering her a warm, fatherly smile before continuing. “They’re both adults. We can’t make choices for them, but we can guide them, and encourage something that could blossom naturally into something greater. And who knows, maybe something beautiful comes out of it—not just for them, but for our legacy as well.”Then, with a subtle curiosity in his voice, Ezekiel asked, “But tell me, is Celestine currently in a relationship?”Marcellus gave a soft chuckle and shook his

Everyone’s attention shifted toward it. Seraphina raised an eyebrow in curiosity, while Zane leaned forward slightly. Even Celestine glanced toward the bag, her lips forming a faint smirk as she observed the room’s reaction.Ezekiel stood slowly, still laughing as he reached for the bag. “Now what is this? Something small and dangerous, perhaps?” he joked, pulling out a dark velvet box from inside the bag. He turned the box in his hands, showing it to everyone before he began to open it.Inside sat a stunning Richard Mille watch, its titanium skeleton case and sleek white rubber strap gleaming under the soft lights of the VIP dining room. The contrast between its lightweight structure and the intricacy of its visible mechanical interior made it an unmistakable piece. The RM 055 Bubba Watson edition—crafted with precision and sophistication—was a favorite among collectors and athletes alike.Ezekiel’s eyes widened as he lifted it slightly, the weight of it confirming its authenticity.

Crystal-clear wine glasses were gently set beside their plates, followed by the uncorking of the expensive wines. The rich, fragrant notes of aged grapes filled the air as the wine was poured, its color catching the soft lighting from the chandelier above.Every glass was perfectly filled, and the table looked like something out of a luxury dining magazine..After ensuring everything was in place, one of the servers bowed slightly and said with a composed tone, “Madam, we are done.”Celestine, who had been watching with quiet authority, gave a simple nod. “Alright, thank you. You can go now.”The servers gave another polite nod and, without disturbing the serene atmosphere, pushed the chrome carts out of the VIP suite, closing the doors silently behind them.As soon as they were gone, the table relaxed slightly, and the guests began to enjoy their meals.Ezekiel was the first to speak after taking a bite, placing his fork down with a nod of appreciation. “This is extraordinary,” he s

Marcellus chuckled softly, “She’ll be here in just a moment. She’s finishing up a few things downstairs with the kitchen and staff. You know how she is—wants to make sure everything’s perfect.”Ezekiel gave a knowing smile, while Seraphina exchanged a quick glance with her husband, quietly observing Zane’s expression. Zane nodded slowly, his anticipation rising as he adjusted the cuff of his jacket and tried to appear composed.“I see… she really runs this place with precision,” he said, his voice smooth but his eyes clearly scanning the door, waiting.A few minutes passed. The soft murmur of conversation filled the luxurious VIP dining area, but then the door opened.And just like that—silence.Every head in the room turned.There she was—Celestine Valencia.She walked in with effortless grace, the click of her heels echoing subtly across the floor. Her custom black evening dress hugged her frame like it was made by the gods, the slit on the side revealing just enough leg to tease th

A few people rushed to the front line of the crowd, holding their phones close to their mouths as they livestreamed, excitedly narrating what was unfolding before their eyes.“I don’t know what’s happening here tonight,” one girl said breathlessly, “but being at restaurant it seems the Valencias and the Haldens are literally having dinner together… this is major. Major.”Some people even began snapping selfies with the cars in the background, as if to prove they were there, right in the moment history was quietly being made.The SUV doors opened first — Richard stepped out quickly, then opened the door for Ezekiel Halden, who adjusted his sharp designer suit as he emerged with calm dignity. Beside him, Seraphina Halden stepped out gracefully, dressed in an elegant ivory gown that shimmered subtly under the lights.Then came the moment that truly sparked more gasps — Zane Halden stepped out of his Lamborghini. His hair was freshly styled.Phones clicked. Videos were taken. Livestreams

The girl fumbled with her device, unlocking it with trembling fingers. Celestine took it smoothly, switched to the front camera, and brought the girl into the frame. She gave a calm, radiant smile and clicked a few pictures, even recording a short video clip as the girl choked back a squeal.When it was done, Celestine handed her phone back. The girl hugged the phone to her chest, stammering, “Thank you so much... oh my God, thank you so, so much.”As she began stepping back, Celestine’s voice called out again. “Hey.”The girl froze and turned back, eyes wide.Celestine had reached into her bag. In her hand was a neat, wrapped stack of U.S. hundred-dollar bills.She walked over and handed it directly to the girl.The crowd exploded.“OH MY GODDD!!!”“WHAAAAT?!”“NO WAY!!”The girl was in complete shock, hands shaking as she received it. She burst into tears on the spot, dropping to her knees in disbelief, holding the money close to her chest.Celestine leaned down and hugged her gent
