Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

The Unseen Kingdom That Followed Me Into Every Dream by Alyndra Meron Valeen 63 Summary Baron sat deep in thought, convinced he had finally understood the true meaning behind Julius Grimwald's cryptic words. He connected the dots: after Baron revealed his discovery, Sebastian abruptly resigned and dove into business, a move orchestrated by Julius as a test. Julius wanted Sebastian to prove himself independently, challenging his intelligence, skill, and resolve through this trial.

Baron realized his investment of $670,000 was more than just financial support; it was a strategic move to assess Sebastian's business acumen. If Sebastian succeeded, Baron would back him as a rising star; if he failed, Baron would still gain favor with the Grimwald family, which was invaluable. Confident in this plan, Baron meticulously reviewed the contract to ensure it favored Sebastian before leaving his office satisfied. Meanwhile, chaos erupted at the Canien household as James returned home with bruises and a swollen face.

His wife, Dorothea, was shocked and angry, initially suspecting a gang-related attack linked to Riri's boyfriend. However, James revealed the truth was worse: he had a violent encounter not only with the young man but also with Baron Goldman himself, who had slapped him and allowed the young man to attack him further. Dorothea was stunned to hear Baron Goldman's name and questioned why such a powerful man would behave this way. James admitted he didn't understand either but feared they had made a dangerous enemy.

Dorothea reassured him, believing that Riri's connection to the Canien family would protect them. James, encouraged by this thought, found renewed hope in having Riri on their side. Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Chapter 63 Baron leaned back in his chair, the leather creaking softly beneath him as he closed his eyes, deep in thought. He was convinced he had finally unraveled the true meaning behind Julius Grimwald's cryptic words.

He pondered the sequence of events: right after Baron disclosed his discovery, Sebastian abruptly resigned from his position and plunged headfirst into the business world. Why the sudden change? There was no doubt-it had to be orchestrated by Julius himself. The elderly man wanted Sebastian to carve out his own reputation, to prove himself without any assistance. It was a test, plain and simple. A challenge to Sebastian's intelligence, his skill, and his resolve. Powerful families often resorted to such trials, didn't they?

This realization explained why Baron had invested so readily, without hesitation. On the surface, the financial aspect was clear-money could open doors, buy favors, and generate goodwill. But Baron knew there was more at play. The $670,000 was insignificant to him, mere pocket change. What truly mattered was the opportunity to gauge Sebastian's business acumen. If the young man proved capable, Baron would stand by him, supporting another rising star in the entrepreneurial world. And if Sebastian stumbled?

Baron would still walk away enriched by the Grimwalds' favor, which was invaluable in its own right. Everything was aligning perfectly, as long as he avoided alienating Sebastian. Without question, this was the smartest investment he had ever made. Baron remained in his office late into the night, meticulously reviewing the contract until he was certain every clause favored Sebastian. Only then did he finally leave, feeling a quiet satisfaction as he returned to the hotel. Meanwhile, chaos had erupted once again at the Canien household-this time for the second time that day.

James paced back and forth anxiously, his face swollen and marked with fresh bruises. When his wife caught sight of him, her eyes widened in shock. "What happened to you, dear? Did some thug do this to you?" she exclaimed, her voice trembling with anger. Her gaze blazed fiercely. "How dare he! I'm going to get Riri up here immediately and show her exactly what kind of monster she's gotten involved with. She's dating some gang punk, isn't she?!" Dorothea began to turn away, but James grabbed her arm firmly. "No! It wasn't that kid-it was worse.

I wish it had been him!" She frowned in confusion. "What do you mean?" A sharp twinge of pain shot through James's cheek as he spoke, causing him to wince. "Yeah, I got into a scuffle with that brat. But then Mr. Goldman showed up and slapped me-twice! And he even helped that punk try to crack my skull with a bat, Dorothea! He treated the kid like royalty. I think that kid might even outrank Goldman himself!" Dorothea stared at him in disbelief. "Goldman? You mean *that* Goldman?!" "Yes, woman! Baron Goldman!" James growled, the pain on his face intensifying with every word.

He cried out sharply, grimacing. "Calm down. I'll take care of you while you talk," Dorothea said softly, wincing as she gently tended to his injuries. "Are you absolutely sure about this? Mr. Goldman is one of the most powerful men in Astergrad. Why on earth would he behave like that toward some random kid?" James shook his head, muttering, "I don't know, and I can't explain it either." His voice wavered with unease. "But if that guy really is a VVIP, we're done for. We've already made an enemy of him." Dorothea waved off his worries with a confident smile. "Don't be ridiculous.

Riri's a Canien! He has to care about her family." James's eyes suddenly brightened, and he straightened up with renewed hope. "Of course! Why didn't I think of that? We've got Riri on our side!" Conclusion The chapter closes on a tense yet hopeful note, weaving together the intricate power plays and personal stakes that define the characters' lives. Baron's quiet satisfaction in his calculated investment contrasts sharply with the turmoil brewing at the Canien household, highlighting the unpredictable nature of alliances and enmities in this world.

Through these parallel narratives, the story explores themes of loyalty, ambition, and the fragile balance between trust and suspicion. Despite the physical and emotional wounds, there remains an undercurrent of resilience and determination among the characters. James's bruises serve as a stark reminder of the dangers they face, yet Dorothea's unwavering faith in Riri's loyalty offers a glimmer of hope. The chapter gently underscores the complexity of relationships, where power and affection intertwine, leaving readers poised for the unfolding consequences of these intertwined destinies.
