Rex arched a brow at her, his expression clearly saying: As long as I act quickly,

no one else will catch up.

Wow, what a brilliant tactic for dealing with the masses!

Celeste gave him a thumbs-up.

"But handling so many people alone isn't exactly easy," he pointed out.

He rubbed his chin, suddenly struck with inspiration. A sly grin spread across his face as he looked at her. "How about we form a new partnership?"

Celeste, sensing trouble, took a step back. "What are you planning? Don't tell me you want me to help you dodge those blind dates?"

"You're definitely Charmaine's best friend, sharp as ever," Rex noted,

Celeste, feeling quite pleased with herself, smirked. "Obviously! Spending time with Charmaine has made me sharp-witted!"

Then it hit her. She had walked right into his trap. She shot him a glare. "Forget it! I'm not teaming up with you to do something so underhanded."

"If you refuse, then that's fine." Rex sighed dramatically. "I'll just have to ask Charmaine instead."

Celeste immediately snapped, "No way! You can't go to Charmaine!"

Rex gave her a questioning look, then realization dawned on him. "Ah, I get it now. You don't seem too thrilled about me getting close to her."

What exactly was she up to?

Celeste nearly bit her tongue, her eyes darting guiltily. Then, clenching her fists, she spoke firmly, "I just don't want you bothering Charmaine. I'm her best friend, and if anything needs handling, I'll take care of it. There's no reason to drag her into this nonsense!"

Of course, Rex had never actually intended to involve Charmaine.

Come on, I was lucky enough that Boss hadn't punched me already.

Noticing his silence, Celeste let out a reluctant sigh. "Fine, I'll help you; just leave Charmaine alone."

Seeing his plan succeed, Rex grabbed his glass and tapped it lightly against hers. "Here's to a successful partnership..."

Celeste huffed in frustration and took a sip from her glass of water.

Another exhausting day was spent safeguarding her favorite couple.

Zayn arrived at the auditorium after the event and immediately noticed the tense expressions c parents' faces. Concerned, he asked, "What happened?"

Seeing this, Leah, already feeling down, couldn't hold back her tears.

Zayn exchanged a glance with Jonah before gently guiding Leah away, taking her to another car to comfort

her

By the time they got home, Valda had already instructed the kitchen to prepare a grand feast, excited to celebrate Leah's achievement.

"So, where did Leah end up getting her internship?"

Leah wiped her tears and managed a smile. “Grandma, it's at Cross Group."

"Oh! Cross Group is an excellent place. Training there is a golden opportunity. Leah, you are so capable, ranking second in the class and securing an internship at Cross Group! I'll send you a million dollars later. Make sure to prepare well and hold your own."

Leah's face lit up with joy. "Thank you, Grandma!"

"Alright, let's eat before everything gets cold."

"Mom, I'm not hungry. I'll head up to my room first," Olympia suddenly said,

turning to leave without waiting for a response.

Willard cast a quick look at his wife's silhouette. "Mom, have dinner with the children. I'll stay with her."

At that moment, Valda sensed that something was amiss. She frowned and said, "Zayn, call your parents and head to the study."

"Alright," Zayn replied.

At the grand dining table filled with delicious dishes, only Jonah remained with Leah.

However, he barely ate before his phone rang. It was a business call, and he stepped outside to discuss work.

Left alone, Leah gripped her chopsticks, her expression shifting from dult to somber, then filled with bitterness.

After a short pause, she quietly made her way upstairs and halted in front of the study.

Inside, an intense argument broke out.

Olympia was furious. "If it weren't for our family, what qualifications does Charmaine have to get close to Emyr? Now she's leveraging the Crosses against us, completely humiliating us!"

Valda's voice was low and serious. "Ultimately, it was Leah who caused all of this. If we had known Charmaine was the best in her class, we never would have let her leave. Why did you all allow herself in front of you?"

to flaunt

With a sigh filled with both anger and regret, she continued, "At the end of the day, Leah is not truly part of our family's bloodline. Her foundation is weak. Even after raising her for so many years, she still pales in comparison to Charmaine, who is now on the rise. It's unfortunate that stubborn girl squandered the remarkable genes of our family."

Outside the door, Leah heard those final words. Her hands balled into tight fists.
