She had been careful enough to try to make no mistakes at all points, yet the problems she had encountered this time were nothing short of an unmitigated disaster.Opulent Prowl didn't just have a domestic market. It also had a stable overseas market and customer base. The issue arose in the overseas market.Celeste learned about this problem from Spencer, with whom she hadn't been in contact for a long time.It was past 2 a.m. when a WhatsApp voice call came through, and Celeste was in a deep sleep.She woke up from her dream. Her head ached, and her mind was in turmoil.Why was he calling at this hour? Didn't he know there was a six-hour time difference between Carlino and Franciso?In the faint light of her phone screen, Celeste groggily pressed the answer button before she could even say hello."Who selected the models for today's fashion show in Franciso? Who was in charge?" Spencer questioned straight away. His tone sounded unusually serious.Celeste's sleepiness was gone

Celeste, being a designer herself, understood the gravity of issues related to racial discrimination, national sentiments, sexual orientation, or territorial disputes. She would never take these matters lightly.Although she didn't personally handle every detail of model selection, she always reviewed the final choices.Especially in Astrania, where people's stances could be ambiguous, she had even stricter requirements for overseas models.What happened that day was undoubtedly the result of someone bribing the models with a substantial amount of money to cause trouble deliberately.The slanting-eye gesture was highly offensive to Solacians, and the association with the Brightstar Council, a notorious extremist organisation in Franciso, only added fuel to the fire, which was clearly intending to bring Opulent Prowl down.By the end of the night, Celeste's throat had developed two large blisters, rendering her unable to speak."Don't worry, I'm here. Megan and I are flying to Fra

"Yes, mommy. I'm safe here with dad and grandma," Leo reassured Celeste."Take care of yourself and my little sister. Everything will be alright."Just like Celeste, he had assumed that the baby she was carrying was a girl.In moments like this, Celeste truly appreciated the advantages of having a brilliant child. He was intelligent and perceptive, able to sense danger, and less likely to be manipulated.Of course, the downside was also apparent. He tended to overthink and internalise his worries."Leo, I have faced many challenges before, and I've always managed to overcome them. You need to trust that I can turn bad situations into good ones," she said gently to Leo.He responded with a soft "mm.""This isn't a big issue. I will handle it smoothly.""Mm.""So don't worry too much. If you worry, I will feel uneasy too."Being open and honest was the best way to deal with a genius child. This was something Celeste had learned over time.If she hid things from Leo, it would o

There were strict security checks for attendees at the press conference, so no one knew how the man managed to get in, let alone bring in a can of surstromming.The can of surstromming was thrown at Celeste from a tricky angle, and the smell of liquid splattered all over her body, face, and hair.Already sensitive due to her pregnancy, the horrible stench made Celeste gag uncontrollably.She opened her mouth but couldn't speak."Everyone, stay calm and don't harm the pregnant woman." The security personnel was alerted and shouted. They quickly rushed over and shielded Celeste.The man who disrupted the event was restrained but continued to hurl profanities and cause a commotion."D*mn it, I can't stand the sight of you! You filthy traitor!""A traitor's child will be no better!" Others chimed in."Yeah! Celeste, we didn't expect this from you!"The scene was so chaotic that Celeste couldn't tell if these people were paid by her rivals or if they were acting on their own.Main

Hence, Liam drove the car away under Damon's instructions.The car passed by Celeste and drove further away, and she felt a wave of relief wash over her.No matter the circumstances, people always care about how they appear to those they care about, even now when she was pushed to her limits and feeling utterly lost."Let's go, we should head back." Her female assistant came over to support her. She then led her into the car and drove her home.Meanwhile, in Franciso, Winston and Megan sent a message confirming that Henry's people were behind the chaos.The three models had taken a large sum of money from Henry to take the risk at such an event. Although Lavinia Luxe said they had nothing to do with it, Winston and Megan didn't believe them."I've handed over the evidence we found to the investigation team and have been posting the results on major platforms. Opulent Prowl should be able to resume operations soon," Winston said.Looking at the evidence Winston had gathered, Cele

To Arno, Celeste's plan seemed like a pipe dream.There were plenty of wealthy and influential people in Carlino who had tried to reclaim the artifact from Nilson over the years, yet he had never budged.Why was Celeste so confident that she could succeed?Unable to resist her persistent coaxing, Arno eventually relented and shared what he knew.Nilson was over 80 years old, coming from a prominent family, and owned hundreds of farms and vineyards.Arno showed Celeste the latest reports on Nilson, highlighting his 80th birthday celebration where numerous Franciso nobility, along with their children and gifts, waited respectfully outside his door.Despite his extraordinary status and illustrious background, Nilson had never married and now lived alone with a dog in a small town in Franciso."What is he like?" Celeste asked."Exceptionally cold, eccentric, and dislikes human interaction," Arno replied. "In this picture, the visitors left their gifts outside without being let in."

Celeste took Leo to Francisco. She settled in a small town where Nilson lived, according to her plan.Nilson, who disliked interacting with people, had bought an entire street along with all the houses and gardens.This meant that even if Celeste wanted to be as close to him as possible, she was still at least one street away from him.She rented a lovely house for two thousand dollars. While handling Opulent Prowl's business in Francisco during the day, she would pass by Nilson's place to observe his reactions, ready to act whenever an opportunity arose.Nilson had fair skin, blue eyes, and a full head of hair. Perhaps due to his wealth and leisure, he looked at least twenty years younger than his actual age. Saying he was only sixty was entirely believable.Like many older men in Francisco, Nilson liked to wear full suits and a bowler hat. Even if he were just strolling around, he would always have his tie perfectly in place.After intentionally passing by a few times, Celeste

Celeste was not fluent in Frence. Then again, she had lived in Franciso for a few years, after all. She could still understand it. She was just lazy and felt that speaking Latish was relatively less tiring and less alliterative. Besides, most of the Francisians she interacted with understood Latish. That was why she insisted on using Latish to communicate.She found it absurd that Leo was seriously talking to Nilson about his dog. Nilson was clearly unhappy at this point."Sorry, Mr. Gama." She smiled apologetically at Nilson and reached out to hold Leo's hand. "Leo, let's go."But Leo didn't move.Unexpectedly, as the gate was about to close, Nilson's Golden Desert Hound squeezed through the gap and ran straight to Leo.Celeste was startled and instinctively tried to shield Leo.However, Leo wasn't afraid."It's okay, Mommy." He said, then walked over and patted the dog's head."What's your name?" He asked in Frence.The dog seemed to understand him. It sat down next to Leo a
