Chapter 113 Table Turn

"Caleb now works at Emerald Media," Anne gushed. "They're currently collaborating with Director Yves Robinson on a project called 'Mystery Script.' Caleb is managing the entire project and will continue to oversee the film production. It's clear how highly his bosses think of him-his future potential is limitless!"

At the coffee shop, Rebecca maintained a polite smile on her face, though inwardly she was growing impatient.

If it weren't for her need to determine whether Caleb had any connection to Alistair, she would never have sat here this long.

The man Anne had praised carried himself with scholarly elegance. Rebecca couldn't help but notice that his silhouette and build somewhat resembled Alistair's, yet their facial features had nothing in common.

Alistair had refined yet masculine features that became more appealing the longer you looked at them.

Caleb was handsome, but there was a calculating sharpness in his eyes that reminded Rebecca of Alistair's stepmother-the one who had raised her demand from one million to two million dollars.

While Anne enthusiastically sang his praises, he maintained a modest demeanor yet kept stealing glances at Rebecca.

Before they parted, when Caleb asked for Rebecca's contact information, she provided it without hesitation.

Rebecca was certain that Caleb was the son of Celeste, and

was.

Sure enough, just after returning home, she received a text message from him.

The message read: [Excuse me, Ms. Whitfield. I'm sorry to bother you, but could we arrange to meet privately another day? I'd like to talk with you about Alistair.]

The name "Alistair" hooked Rebecca's heart instantly.

After all, her real purpose in checking whether Anne's boyfriend was Celeste's son was ultimately about Alistair.

She deliberately left him hanging for a while before casually replying: [I'll contact you when I'm free.]

As she pushed open the door, Cordelia and Nathaniel's conversation drifted out from the study downstairs.

"How did Alistair gain so much influence? Through what channels did he meet such important people?" Cordelia asked.
