At the restaurant, once they entered the private room and sat down, Beck poured her a glass of water and asked, ” Did you gain anything from the conference this time?”

“More or less.”

She had joined the conference to spark inspiration, hoping to find new angles to study the materials Zachary had given her and Matthias a while back.

After attending a few sessions, she had more or less found a new direction

As she spoke, Celeste asked, “How’s Shanice doing lately?

“Shanice’s health has improved a lot since the second half of last year. She’s started school again this year and has even made new friends. She’s been pretty happy both at home and at school.” Beck paused, then added as he looked at her, “But she still brings you up often. Next time we get the chance, maybe the three of us could have a meal together?”

Celeste nodded. “Sure.”

On Saturday, she went out for a bit. After trying on clothes for more than an hour and picking out a few items for other members of the Rodriguez family, she sat down on a couch to rest and wait to pay.

That was when a voice called from outside the store. “Celeste?”

Celeste turned and saw Janet Linvale standing at the entrance.

Janet was Lennox’s daughter, just a few months younger than her. They used to play together often as kids and were very close.

But ever since Isabelle divorced Harvey, they hadn’t seen much of each other. The last time they met was three or four years ago. At that time, Trevor hadn’t met Wynn yet.

Janet had somehow heard that Harvey’s business had run into serious trouble and was on the verge of bankruptcy. She had made a special trip to Youtopia to see Celeste, secretly giving her hundreds of thousands of dollars of her saved–up allowance money to help her through the crisis.

Celeste smiled. “Long time no see.”
