Meanwhile, in the private room, Kael smiled and said, “We’ve met plenty of prodigies over the years, but someone like you, Celso young yet already achieving so much—is still a rare find. That’s why Rowan and I both wanted to meet you. I hope it’s not been a bother.”

Despite his high status, Kael spoke with such courtesy that Celeste responded respectfully, “Not at all. It’s truly my honor to meet you.”

Rowan chuckled and said to Kael, “Alright, don’t go scaring the kid,”

Both he and Kael genuinely felt that Celeste was an exceptional young talent with limitless potential. They were impressed and optimistic about her future, which was why they had wanted to meet and get to know her.

Kael and Rowan both spoke with warmth and politeness, and with Harold and Theodore also present, the atmosphere in the room was quite pleasant.

After dinner, the group stayed and chatted for another hour.

Only after exchanging contact details with Kael and Rowan did they finally part ways.

Monday marked the start of the new school term for primary and middle school students in Baumond.

This semester, Jamie would begin boarding at school. Adeline had matters to handle with her family, and Ivan was busy, so on Sunday afternoon, it was Celeste who took Jamie to school.

When they arrived, Celeste saw members of both the Locket and Shaw families. Behind them were three maids, each holding large, heavy bags. The whole display was quite extravagant.

So, Calvin had transferred to Baumond as well?

At a school like this, transferring in was extremely difficult without the right connections and influence. It went without saying–Trevor must have played a key role in getting Calvin in.

With Calvin starting school, the entire Locket family had shown up to see him off, which said everything about how much they valued and doted on him. Calvin himself looked like a child raised in the lap of love–carefree, cheerful, and full of sunshine.

Watching Erin gaze at Calvin with such affection, Celeste couldn’t help but recall how Erin had once taken her hand with firm conviction, swearing that Celeste was her only granddaughter. Even after all these years, the memory still struck her as bitterly ironic.

At that moment, the Locket and Shaw families also noticed her. The smiles on their faces faded the instant they saw her.

Just then, a passerby caught sight of one of the suitcases being held by the maids behind the Locket family and exclaimed, “Whoa, that suitcase costs over 300 thousand dollars! I didn’t think anyone actually bought stuff like that. Rich people really are on another level.”

As the Locket family turned their heads in response, the person quickly realized they had spoken too loudly. Embarrassed, they apologized and hurried off with their friends.

Of course, even without that outburst, Celeste had already noticed. It wasn’t just that one suitcase–every bag and case they used for Calvin’s things was made of genuine leather, with price tags in the tens of thousands dollar Altogether, Calvin’s luggage alone must have cost hundreds of thousands dollars.

And the crossbody purse Lilian carried was a limited edition worth over a million dollars.

Hearing others admire them, Erin and Linda turned to glance at Celeste. Seeing that Jamie’s luggage was only half

the size of Calvin’s, and that both her suitcase and duffel bag were the inexpensive kind just a few hundred dollars or maybe a thousand dollars at most–Erin gave it a single look before withdrawing her gaze indifferently. Linda, on the other hand, let out a scornful laugh.

In the eyes of the Lockets and Shaws, the Rodriguez Corporation might have managed to breathe again, but it would still be a while before it turned a real profit. And who knew whether Ivan’s company would even make it in the long run?

As for Celeste, though she had gotten involved with Matthias, rumor had it that Matthias didn’t actually value her as much as people had initially thought. In other words, the Rodriguez family no longer operated on the same level as them.1
