Kelly Kingston stood confidently on the table, her piercing gaze fixed on Sophla

and Lyra.

She was once the most famous person in Vancouver.

Though she was not a model, everyone knew she could have easily been one of the top if she had chosen that path. Instead, Kelly was celebrated as the most

brilliant woman

Vancouver's history.

At just 17 years old, she graduated from the most prestigious university in the city and caught the attention of Alfred Kingston.

Alfred adopted Kelly and brought her into the Kingston Enterprise at a young age. Though not formally part of the direct family line, her association with Alfred made her a cousin to Jasmine in the public eye.

When Kelly joined Kingston Enterprise, newspapers couldn't stop raving about her brilliance and hailed her as a prodigy in her field.

Everyone knew she was one of Alfred Kingston's most trusted confidants.

Kelly turned to Lyra, her gaze sharp and unwavering. "I heard what you said. If we're talking about queues, I believe I'm first in line before anyone here."
