Chapter 500<\/p>\n
As the vehicle approached, the security team had already informed Lucas and Mary.<\/p>\n
Jagger was a person of great contribution to Clusia. They had been neighbors in the past, and their relationship remained strong, even though they hadn\u2019t seen each other in over a decade<\/p>\n
At this moment, Lucas and Mary stood in the parking lot in front of the house, waiting.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy did Mr. Walton suddenly decide to pay a visit? Is there something going on?\u201d Mary asked, confused, turning to Lucas.<\/p>\n
Lucas looked ahead. \u201cI\u2019m not sure. It\u2019s a time of peace, no wars to fight. He\u2019s probably just here to catch up. We\u2019re old friends. Maybe it\u2019s just a casual visit.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI see the car. It\u2019s here,\u201d Mary said, pointing toward the approaching vehicle.<\/p>\n
Lucas and Mary exchanged a glance and took another step forward.<\/p>\n
The nearby security guards were already prepared. As the car came to a complete stop, two guards, standing by the rear doors, opened them in unison with military precision.<\/p>\n
The first to step out was Stella, who politely greeted them. \u201cMr. Jarrett and Mrs. Jarrett, long time no see. Do you remember me? It\u2019s Stella.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mary\u2019s eyes widened in surprise as she walked toward Stella. \u201cHey, it\u2019s Stella! Weren\u2019t you in Hesperia? You\u2019re back! Oh my god, you<\/p>\n
haven\u2019t changed at all. You\u2019re still as young and beautiful as ever! Where\u2019s your father? Didn\u2019t he come with you?\u201d As soon as she finished speaking, Jagger emerged from the car. \u201cLucas, Mary, I\u2019m here. It\u2019s been a long time since we\u2019ve seen each other.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucas looked at him. \u201cMr. Walton, you\u2019re still in such great shape, as expected from someone with a military background. Is this your first time visiting our home? Please, come inside. We have time for a couple of drinks today.\u201d<\/p>\n
After all, they were old friends, and Jagger was a person of great honor. With his children holding important positions, Lucas and Mary made sure to observe proper etiquette.<\/p>\n
Once the four of them settled into the living room, the conversation began.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, it sounds like Stella is staying here in Clusia for good now?\u201d Mary asked, sitting beside Stella in a friendly manner.<\/p>\n
Stella nodded and softly replied, \u201cI\u2019m not leaving. I\u2019ve already submitted my recommendation letter to the Translation Bureau. Whether I get in or not depends on luck. If I don\u2019t, I\u2019ll just rely on my dad.\u201d<\/p>\n
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the room lightened, and the bond between the two families seemed to instantly go back to how it was about ten years ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re so talented and experienced. Anyone would be happy to have you. You\u2019ll definitely get in\u201d Mary said with a smile.<\/p>\n
Stella turned to Jagger. \u201cMr. Walton, your children are so successful and respectful. I\u2019ve also heard that your granddaughter is also outstanding. Now that Stella is back, you get to have her by your side every day. That\u2019s really something to be envious of.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jagger waved his hand dismissively. \u201cStella\u2019s great, but she\u2019s still single. We\u2019re very traditional, just want to see our children settle down and start families. She has a career, but no family yer<\/p>\n
45 and still unmarried. Every time I bring it up, it breaks my<\/p>\n
heart.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stella wasn\u2019t angry at being scolded in front of others. She remained poised and dignified, sitting gracefully, giving off the<\/p>\n

image of a true lady from a distinguished family.<\/p>\n
Mary smiled playfully. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing wrong with that. In this new era, successful women with money and careers don\u2019t need a husband. They can be happy on their own. And what doc being 45 matter anyway?<\/p>\n
\u201cArthur is 56 and still single. I\u2019ve never been troubled by it. I\u2019m happy to see him dedicate his life to Clusia. Who cares?<\/p>\n
Jagger was puzzled by Mary\u2019s response. \u201cArthur is 50 and hasn\u2019t thought about marriage? I thought someone at his level. even if it\u2019s not made public, would have a girlfriend or something\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucas, ever the thoughtful one, although unsure of Jagger\u2019s intentions, spoke up before Mary could say anything. \u201cAt his level, marriage doesn\u2019t matter anymore. First, he has no time. Second, his heart is with his work. We can only support him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe most important thing is for the people of Clusia to live peacefully. Love is just a fleeting thing, or maybe it\u2019s something for when he steps down.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cExactly, that\u2019s also what I meant.\u201d Mary agreed, chiming in with a cheerful smile.<\/p>\n
Stella, understanding the delicate nature of the conversation, wisely chose to stay quiet. Not wanting to linger on this topic, she spoke up. \u201cIn an important position, Arthur must put Clusia first. I understand what you\u2019re saying, Mr. Jarrett and Mrs. Jarrett.\u201d<\/p>\n
After that, Stella quickly changed the subject. \u201cHuh? By the way, where\u2019s Jean? I ran into her the other day while shopping with the wife of the Hesperia ambassador downtown.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been so many years, and she\u2019s grown was her cousin\u2019s wife, Cherise.\u201d<\/p>\n
into a lovely young woman. She was with a stunning woman, and Jean told me it<\/p>\n
At the mention of Cherise\u2019s name, Mary immediately became excited. \u201cReally? You saw her? Not to brag, but Cherise is not only beautiful but also incredibly capable.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s Mr. Finch\u2019s last student, Arthur\u2019s junior. You know, she\u2019s not only skilled in medicine but also knows how to fight.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since the time Mary and Cherise had shared a life\u2013or\u2013death experience in Ghost Hand together, Cherise\u2019s image in Mary\u2019s mind had been one of brilliance and admiration.<\/p>\n
With Stella bringing it up, Mary couldn\u2019t stop praising Cherise, unable to hold back her excitement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-523","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/523","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=523"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
