When she didn’t respond, Bramwell continued directly, “Luna, you know Jindiwood well. Arrange a place for us to stay, and quickly. The traffic from the airport into the city is a bit heavy; it’ll take us over an hour.
“Oh, right. Also, arrange a welcome dinner for your brother tonight. Have Grant come too. We need to discuss the investment and your marriage. He should also pull some strings to get your brother into the Center. For the venue… let’s go to Refe House. The food there suits my taste, and your mother and brother will probably like it too.”
That series of directives, delivered as a mere notification, nearly made Luna explode.
Showing up unannounced, not booking a hotel, and having the audacity to expect Grant himself to welcome Owen?
Where did they get the nerve!
Did they still think Grant was that poor guy who relied on his investment to keep going?
Dumping everything on her with a few words… did they think she was their family servant?
Luna’s chest heaved with large, uneven breaths.
But in front of the other interns, and wanting to save face, she couldn’t possibly snap..
Gritting her teeth, she said, “Daddy, I have things to do at the hospital. I’ll send someone to pick you up.”
“A first–year grad student, that busy?” Bramwell sounded skeptical. “Fine, sending someone works too. We’ll discuss the details when we meet!”
Luna hung up the call, her face expressionless.
“Luna, your dad is in Jindiwood again?”
Luna forced a smile, still putting on a front. “Y–yes, they brought my brother to see me, since I didn’t go back for the New Year.”
“So nice! Your family is so wonderful, Luna!”
Her smile stiff, Luna found an excuse to step out and called Willow, asking her to help receive Bramwell and the others.
At the airport, Bramwell waited for a while before receiving a contact card forwarded by Luna, informing him that someone would get in touch.
“Why is it some guy with messy, dyed hair? Who did Luna find?”
Willow’s profile picture was an official concert photo of Kai, with trendy makeup and styling, which Bramwell looked down upon.

Owen, who was playing a game, glanced over. “I know him. He’s Luna’s classmate, named Willow, The picture is of a male celebrity called Kai. He’s pretty close with Luna too.
“Kai?” The name sounded faintly familiar to Evelyn. “I think he’s very famous. My friend’s daughter is a big fan; I heard she spent over 1.5 million just to have a meal with him?”
“That impressive?” Bramwell frowned. “Luna didn’t spend that much too, did she…”
“Probably not. Kai is quite protective of Luna. He was there at the equestrian club for her birthday last time. I saw on her feed the New Year gifts he sent were pretty expensive, according to Willow! Besides, Luna has always had great social connections. It’s normal for her to know important people. Wasn’t it Luna who recommended the lead designer, Oscar, into Grant’s team?” Owen said without looking up.
“Really? Now that you mention it, Luna is outstanding and excellent. She’s never given us any reason to worry.” Evelyn’s well–maintained face beamed with pride.
Bramwell pondered, a shrewd glint narrowing his eyes. “I just didn’t realize Luna’s friends in Jindiwood were more influential than I thought. We haven’t been paying enough attention from afar. It seems now there’s great hope for the Research Center’s Top Talent Program!”
Owen paused his gameplay, mentioning as if casually, “Oriana’s husband… he works at the Research Center, right?”
“Her?”
Bramwell’s voice turned cold and scornful, his attitude completely different. “He just got some idle position through connections. What influence could he possibly have?”
Then, remembering something, he sternly laid down the law. “Once you get into the Research Center, you must cut ties with Oriana and her husband. I won’t have any trouble from them affecting you, understand?”
Owen gave a perfunctory pout. “I know.”
He muttered to himself. Weren’t they also trying to use connections to get into the Research Center? If they were all relying on connections, what was with the looking down?
The Sterling family’s trip to Jindiwood was impulsive.
Bramwell had heard about this ‘Top Talent Program‘ on the third day of the New Year while taking Evelyn back to her home.
