    Meanwhile, Ste was not idle either. She decided to reach out to relevant authorities and discuss a


    potential coboration. She got up at six in the morning and set off with Ted. All parties showed up by


    around 8:00 a.m., and they delved into the matter for over five hours. It was almost 1:00 p.m. when


    they finished the meeting.


    Ste nced at the documents in her hand, and relief swept over her.


    “You could always retain a portion of thend, you know,” said Ted.

    Everyone knew how expensivend was in Rivera.


    “This plot ofnd was originally in my grandfather’s. He entrusted it to my mother before passing, and it


    became my responsibility since her departure from the world. My grandfather knew that his two


    younger brothers probably would not be heard from again. Still, he guarded thend, seemingly


    awaiting a reunion. What I’m doing is not precisely a donation, either. Thend inherently belongs to


    the state. I’m just giving it back in advance by donating my grandfather’s mansion,” Ste smiled and


    said.


    Ted nced at her and muttered, “You could consider donating a portion of Keegan’s estate to increase


    your reputation.”


    Ste did not know how to respond. She bit her lip and asked, “Mr. Eldrich, did Keegan bully you or


    something when you were still in school?”


    It took Ted a moment to say, “He once took the water I boiled for my noodles to soak his feet. Does that


    count?”


    Ste fell into thought. ‘I guess it does since not many would remember such an incident so clearly…’


    As she mulled over this, Keegan called her on the phone.” What are you guys talking about?” he


    asked.


    Ste paused and looked around her. She then heard Keegan say, “I’m on your right.”


    Ste turned her head and spotted a familiar ck Mercedes parked nearby. She recognized the car’s


    license te and walked toward the vehicle after saying goodbye to Ted. Just as she approached,


    Aldor emerged from the driver’s side. He circled around the car and opened the door for her.


    Keegan was wearing a white suit today, and his hair was neatly styled. At first nce, he looked like he


    was about to get married.


    Ste entered the car, and Aldor promptly closed the door behind her. She took a quick nce at


    Keegan and asked,” Are we… going on a blind date?”


    Keegan remained silent.


    “Mr. Kane just came back from a ribbon-cutting ceremony. He thought it’d be nice to pick you up for a


    meal.” Aldor chuckled.


    “Oh. I see. And where are we dining?” Ste inquired.


    “The choice is yours,” Keegan responded.


    Ste eyed Keegan’s attire and said, “I’m thinking of going to a Yostranian restaurant. People would


    probably think you’re crazy when they see you in that suit if we go somewhere else.”


    “Then it’s settled. Let’s go get some Yostranian food.”


    Thus, at the entrance of a Yostranian establishment, Ste found herself standing next to her first love.
