Chapter 641
Celeste was unaware of what Harvey and Lennox were thinking.
Her expression remained unchanged as she chatted about work
with Lazarus and the others while they ate.
After the meal, Celeste and Lazarus's group left the private room
and prepared to head downstairs, only to run into Harvey and his
group again
This time, however, it was different from earlier. Wynn and Lilian
were also present, making the group noticeably larger.
The Lockets and the Shaws also saw Celeste.
Linda and Lennox's expressions immediately turned cold when
they saw her.
Lazarus and the others noticed this and gave an awkward smile.
Wynn, however, looked completely normal. She didn't even
glance at Celeste, as if Celeste wasn't worth her attention at all.
Just as Wynn was about to greet Lazarus and the others,
someone happened to walk toward the elevator.
When they saw who it was, not only Wynn, but also Harvey and
Lazarus froze, instantly falling silent.

Celeste had her side turned toward the newcomers and didn't
know who they were
Sensing the sudden change in everyone's expressions, she was
about to turn her head when the other party had already
recognized her.
Arefined yet authoritative face immediately broke into a smile."
Cel?"
Celeste was startled. When she turned around, she realized the
person was Kael.
Of course, Kael wasn't alone—there were also several other
prominent figures commonly seen in political circles.

Celeste came back to her senses. "Mr. Gendric."
Kael walked over, his smile unchanged. "Out having a meal with
friends?”
Celeste nodded obediently. "Yes."
Kael smiled and introduced the people beside him.
“Cel, this is Dominic Lafayette, this is Adrian Burlington, this is
Alistair Tillingham."
After introducing everyone one by one, Kael smiled again. "
----
They've all heard about you and have wanted to meet you for
some time, but we never had the chance. What a coincidence to
run into you today.”
Celeste nodded and greeted each of them politely.
With so many people present, Kael didn't chat with her for long.
He simply said with a smile, "I was originally supposed to go to
Theodore's place for dinner with you, Zachary, and Harold last
night, but an urgent matter came up, so | couldn't make it.
"Thinking about it now, | do regret it a little. After the New Year, |
should have some time. Please come over with Zachary and the
others for a meal at my place.”
Celeste hurriedly replied, "I will. If | have time, I'll definitely come.
Kael smiled, said a few more words to her, then led the others
into the elevator first.
Aside from Linda, almost everyone present knew who Kael and
his group were.
So, even though many people were around while Kael spoke
with Celeste, the area was extremely quiet—no one dared to
speak rashly.
As Kael and his group left first, everyone politely nodded and
watched them go.

Only after the elevator doors slowly closed did Linda quietly ask,
"Mom, who exactly were those people just now?"
Ruby had never encountered so many figures she had previously
only seen on television.
She was still a little dazed.
Hearing Linda's question, she took a deep breath to calm her
racing heart before saying, "T-Those people are... very, very
important figures in the country...”
As she spoke, she leaned close to Linda's ear and quietly told
her the identities of Kael and his group.
After hearing this, Linda was completely stunned.
Earlier, even though she hadn't known Kael's identity, she could
tell from his demeanor that he wasn't an ordinary person.
Coupled with how solemn everyone else looked in front of him,
she hadn't dared to speak carelessly.
But she had never imagined that their backgrounds would be
this formidable.
