Chapter 47


    Chapter 47


    Katherine was momentarily stumped by the question. “Actually, I’m not sure myself. Caleb is also a


    gaming streamer and seems to get all sorts of tips. Anyway, he makes a couple of grand a month,


    way more than I do!”


    Valerie chuckled. “Alright, mydy. It just so happens my brother runs a small fruit shop. He knows


    the streets around here pretty well. I’ll ask himter.”


    “Thanks, Valerie!” replied Katherine.


    Time seemed to fly even faster when good things happened. The car dealership was pretty quiet


    that afternoon. After six, Mr. Moreno organized a group dinner to celebrate Valerie’s promotion in


    advance.


    Katherine got really tipsy. After everyone dispersed, Valerie was worried, so she used Katherine’s


    phone to call Caleb.


    Twenty minutester, a familiar white BMW pulled up at the roadside.


    “Valerie!” Caleb hurried over from the car. Katherine waspletely drunk, clinging to Valerie like a


    ko bear. Only when Caleb took her did Valerie finally breathe a sigh of relief.


    “Caleb, what brings you by?” Katherine giggled.


    “Why did you drink so much?” asked Caleb.


    “I’m not drunk.” Katherine was a bit fuzzy but still had a sliver of consciousness. After stubbornly


    denying it, she shoved a stic bag into Caleb’s arms, mumbling it was a gift for him. Then, she


    crawled into the back seat of the car and passed out.


    Caleb looked puzzled at the stic bag, asking, “What’s this?”


    Valerie chuckled. “Katherine said you like crayfish, so she specially packed some for you. Don’t


    worry. It’s all clean.”


    “Huh?” Caleb was left helpless. “I see. It’s sweet of her to think of me even when she’s hanging out.


    By the way, Valerie, are you heading back? Can I give you a ride?”


    “Thanks, but Katherine is feeling unwell. You should take her back to rest. I rode my scooter here,


    and I can manage it on my own,” declined Valerie.


    Caleb seemed a bit disappointed at the sight of the scooter behind Valerie. “Then be careful on your


    way back, Valerie. Oh, and by the way,” he added. “I haven’t properly thanked you for that car


    ident yet. I’ve prepared a little something for you as a token of my gratitude, Valerie. You have to


    ept it.”


    “There’s no need for that…” Unable to resist Caleb’s enthusiasm, Valerie reluctantly took it. Upon


    opening the box, she found a ne inside, a design featuring stars and moons.


    “The moment I saw it, I thought it would suit you perfectly, Valerie. Stars and moons really match


    your aura. Do you like it?” Caleb looked at Valerie intently as if a bit nervous.


    Unable to pinpoint the reason, Valerie felt a peculiar unease. However, Caleb’s sincere demeanor


    made her question whether she was overthinking. It seemed that Caleb merely intended to express


    his gratitude. “Thanks, I’ll take it,” she replied.

    Caleb breathed a sigh of relief. “Valerie, may I help you put it on?”


    Valerie waved her hands quickly, refusing, “Nah, I just remembered I’ve got some stuff to take care


    of at home. Gotta rush back; you should get Katherine home, too.”


    She hurried to push her scooter, but the front wheel was stuck in the grass. Valerie tugged a couple


    of times, then felt the scooter lighten as Caleb lifted it from behind her. “Thanks a ton; you boys


    sure are stronger!”


    Valerie bid farewell to Caleb and hopped onto her little scooter. Caleb watched her silhouette fade


    into the distance before slowly getting into his


    car.


    Unbeknownst to them, this scene was witnessed in its entirety by two people in a car nearby.


    “Mr. Grant…” The silence in the car was unnervingly heavy. Charles mustered his courage to speak


    up. “Maybe it’s just a misunderstanding.” Matthew, face devoid of emotion, responded after a brief


    pause. His voice, colder than the depths of an icy cavern, uttered, “Let’s go back,” sending shivers


    down Charles’s spine. Hastily, Charles started the car.


    But when it was time to hit the road, he hesitated again. “Mr. Grant, umm, which home are we going


    to?”


    As soon as the words left his mouth, he got another re from Matthew as he expected. Charles


    felt a pang of difort, secretly regretting asking. ‘How stupid I am! Mr. Grant obviously wants


    to go back to his own ce! Miss Warren just got caught red–handed, and based on my

    she’s dancing on the edge of divorce every day, testing the limits of his patience!’


    However, just as Charles was about to turn around and head toward the Grant Manor, Matthew


    suddenly said, “Slotmond Estate,” leaving Charles utterly off guard.
