Chapter 99

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.

"Miss Kelly," Sophia quickly stood up, her voice tinged with both surprise and respect. "What brings you here?"

Her beauty, framed by her sharp gaze and glasses, made people feel both charmed and awestruck. "What's the problem?" Alex asked, still seated.

Kelly gracefully walked to his side, leaned down, and whispered something in his

ear.

Alex's expression shifted instantly, turning serious.

"Wait, Kelly" Lyra suddenly interrupted, her tone firm as she stepped forward. "You have to queue like everyone else if you want to take Alex."

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."
