Chapter 203: The Bride Price
Mrs. Morgan nodded confidently before pulling out a chair and sitting beside her husband, wearing a satisfied smile that refused to disappear from her face. Barely three minutes later, footsteps echoed from the staircase as Kael and Celeste finally walked into the dining room together and quietly took their seats across from them."Good morning, Mom. Good morning, Dad," Celeste greeted politely while Kael also nodded respectfully toward both of them before settling comfortably into his chair without showing any unusual expression on his face.Mrs. Morgan looked at the two of them from head to toe before a teasing smile slowly appeared across her face. "Good morning to both of you. I hope you both had a beautiful night together. Oh... judging from the way both of you are looking, I'd say you already did." She couldn't help laughing softly after saying those words.Celeste almost choked before looking at her mother helplessly. "Mom, why did you lock the
Chapter 202: The Next Day
"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
Chapter 201: Student Estate
The academy group chat exploded the very second Elijah Montclair's message appeared on everyone's screen.For nearly half a minute, the group completely froze before countless new messages flooded the chat one after another."Senior Elijah! Count me in too! Please don't forget your junior!""Please choose me! I've always wanted to visit Crystal Lake Resort!"The group chat instantly turned chaotic as dozens of students began tagging Elijah, hoping they would also become one of the lucky people whose expenses would be covered.Many girls could not hide their admiration anymore and openly praised him inside the group."As expected of Young Master Montclair, he's really generous.""This is what being rich looks like. Paying for people's trips without even thinking twice.""Senior Elijah is really handsome and rich. Whoever dates him will definitely be the happiest girl alive."Soon enough, another topic appeared."Wait, did anyone notice he specifically mentioned Selene Whitmore?""Exact
Chapter 200: School Excursion
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
Chapter 199: Same Bedroom
Mr. Morgan blinked twice in complete disbelief before staring at his wife with an expression that almost made him question whether he had heard her correctly. After several seconds of silence, he finally spoke. "One million bucks? Who on earth asks for one million bucks as a bride price? Are we some wannabe wealthy family desperately looking for money or something?"Mrs. Morgan quickly raised a finger to her lips and shushed him before lowering her voice. "Keep your voice down. We don't actually need the money. I'm only using that amount to test him. If he's truly as capable as he looked tonight, then we shall know tomorrow. If he gets frightened and runs away, then it simply proves he isn't worthy of our daughter."Mr. Morgan frowned in confusion before looking at her again. "How does that make any sense? I thought you already said he was capable after everything we witnessed tonight. Didn't he even make someone like Tristan lose his posit
Chapter 198
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
