"Mrs. Nelson, you look absolutely stunning-if I didn't know better, I'd think you and your daughter were sisters," the store owner, Tim Larson, remarked, clearly impressed.

Such flattery would make any woman smile, and Olympia couldn't help but bask in it. "You're too generous," she said, her tone full of pride. "Today, I'm here to help my daughter find the perfect dress for an important gala coming up in a few days."

She shifted the conversation to Leah, and her pride was palpable as she spoke.

Tim, eager to please, turned his attention to Leah. "What kind of event will you be attending, Ms. Nelson? A private dinner, perhaps?"

Leah gave a gentle smile, her demeanor modest. "It's more of a private business gathering, but I'll be performing, so I want to make sure my outfit is just right for the occasion."

Olympia quickly added with a slight tone of urgency, "The attendees will be quite high-profile, so it would be a tremendous help if you could assist my daughter in picking something suitable, Mr. Larson."

Tim nodded seriously. "Of course, Mrs. Nelson. Ms. Nelson, please follow me." The group continued chatting lightly as they made their way to the VIP room.

Charmaine, overhearing their conversation, couldn't help but sneer to herself. If Olympia knew the truth- that her precious daughter had been plotting against her own brother-what would she think?

"Charmaine, what are you thinking about?" Celeste suddenly asked, snapping Charmaine out of her thoughts.noveldrama

Charmaine handed the sales assistant the brooch she had been admiring. "Please wrap it up for me."

Celeste gasped and elbowed Charmaine playfully. "Is that for Mr. Emyr? How sweet!"

Charmaine pulled out her black card, the sleek piece of plastic a clear sign of Emyr's generosity. "Spending his money isn't exactly a gift," she replied flatly. Celeste's eyes widened in disbelief. "Wait, is that the exclusive black gold card- the one with only ten issued across the entire country? Mr. Emyr actually gave it to you? Now that's what I call sweet!"

Charmaine sighed, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

She was seriously thinking it was time to head home.

To get Celeste to stop talking for a while, Charmaine reluctantly bought her a strawberry cake. The ri, creamy dessert with its sweet strawberries finally seemed to distract Celeste from her endless chatter.

Truth be told, Charmaine never thought she'd find herself shopping and chatting with Celeste. Not long ago, she had been at odds with her for Leah's sake, but now here she was. Life sure had a funny way of surprising people.

Before they parted ways, Celeste eagerly suggested she'd pick Charmaine up for the gala.

Charmaine paused, considering. "Let's just meet up when we get to the venue.”

head. “Oh, right! I forgot-Mr. Emyr is also going to the gala, and of course, he'll bring you. How silly of me to think I should be the one to bring you! I could never compete with Mr. Emyr's influence."

She gave Charmaine a teasing, almost pitying look. "You're so amazing, Charmaine. Even to help me save face, you're making Mr. Emyr suffer through all this!"

Charmaine narrowed her eyes.

She was done with this shopping trip for sure.

The city buzzed with excitement as the diplomatic summit kicked off. This event was unlike anything anyone had seen in recent years. From early morning, major news outlets and streaming platforms began broadcasting every moment of the event.

Charmaine chose a sharp, classic black-and-white outfit from Chanel, pairing it with a silk scarf tied neatly around her neck. The look was sophisticated and elegant.

As she descended the stairs, she noticed the live broadcast on the TV in the living room. The footage showed the grand theater, the primary venue for the summit, adorned with flags from all over the world.

Major roads had been closed since the early hours of the day, and only VIPs and official guests were allowed access. Everyone else had to pass through multiple layers of security before even stepping foot inside.

Suddenly, the camera shifted, capturing a convoy of cars pulling up to the theater. The vehicles slowly came to a stop as a few sedans made their way to the front.

The host's voice became excited. "Arriving now at the main venue, we have the convoy of The Four Elders- Master Field, Master Nicholson, Master Presley, and Master Day!"

The host continued with growing enthusiasm, "These four trailblazers were instrumental in shaping the reforms that led to the nation's progress in fields like medicine, agriculture, martial arts, and aviation, laying the foundation for our country's success!"

The convoy halted, and student representatives stepped forward with bouquets of flowers. The elderly men, dressed in suits, walked through the crowd with an aura of respect and authority.

As Joe, the last to exit the car, noticed a young boy's red scarf was slightly askew, he gently fixed it for him.

The young boy, his eyes bright, exclaimed, "Thank you, Master Presley!"

At that moment, a bold reporter approached the group and asked, "Master Presley, this is the first time you and the other elders have publicly participated in an international conference since your retirement. What made you all decide to step back into the public eye?"
