The girl kept staring at Leander, her expression shifting repeatedly as if she had just discovered a brand–new continent. Her gaze refused to leave him.

Ashlee was Yvette’s uncle’s daughter. Ravenridge Senior High carried a century of prestige and reputation, which was precisely why she had enrolled as a freshman. Since then, she had been living long–term at the Sitwell Residence.

At the Sitwell Residence, the name she heard most often was not Yvette’s; it was Leander’s.

Based on Monica and Linden’s descriptions, Leander came across as nearly all–powerful. He was resolute, unassailable, and able to manage anything in his path. They frequently called him the family’s benefactor, and every time they mentioned him, gratitude was evident.

A few days earlier, Ashlee asked about him when Yvette came home. Noticing Yvette’s expression and the gentle softness in her demeanor, Ashlee sensed there was something more beneath the surface.

That curiosity had only grown stronger.

She wondered what kind of man could inspire an entire family to view him with such reverence, as if he were a living legend.

Now that very person stood right in front of her.

Only moments earlier, she had boldly asked him for his number, and the sheer absurdity of the situation left her stunned.

“Is she your cousin?” Leander glanced at Yvette, faint amusement flickering across his face.

Yvette nodded. “She is. Let me introduce her properly. This is Ashlee Sullivan, my uncle’s daughter. She just started her freshman year here.”

Leander inclined his head toward Ashlee, then regarded her with a half–smile. “Young lady, focus on your studies while you’re at school. Stop asking random boys for their numbers.”

A teasing note colored his voice. “If you want my number, your cousin already has it. You can ask her.”

Yvette turned toward Ashlee. The blush creeping across her cousin’s face and that embarrassed glare explained everything. “You little troublemaker. Were you playing that silly game again? Asking your senior for his number?”

Ashlee stuck out her tongue and clung to Yvette’s arm. “How was I supposed to know he’s your person? If I knew, I would never ask. I’m not competing with you for your boyfriend.”

Yvette flicked her lightly on the forehead, exasperation mixing with amusement. “Mind your words.”

Ashlee tilted her head, mischief dancing in her eyes. “Did I lie? If I weren’t afraid you’d get embarrassed, I would have called him my future cousin–in–law right then and there,”

Heat rose instantly to Yvette’s cheeks. She felt exposed, yet she offered no denial.

Once Leander had walked several yards ahead, she patted Ashlee’s shoulder and hurried after him.

The moment the two disappeared, Ashlee’s friends rushed over.

“What happened?”

“Did you get his number?”

“Who was that girl?”

Ashlee lifted both hands helplessly. “Forget it. No chance. That’s my cousin and her boyfriend.”

Her friends erupted into laughter.

“So your cousin didn’t scold you? You were flirting with your own cousin’s boyfriend.”

“Trying to steal him from family now?”

Their teasing piled on until Ashlee’s face turned bright red. The group chased each other around the track in squealing chaos before finally settling down.

After catching her breath, Ashlee’s expression turned thoughtful. “If they came for the anniversary ceremony, then the school has a

eal heavyweight on campus today.”

Her friends blinked in confusion.

‘What do you mean?”

‘Wait, didn’t the school invite your cousin, Victor, Shiloh, and all those star alumni back for the anniversary? The way you’re alking… are you saying your ‘future cousin–in–law‘ is actually more impressive than all of them?”

Ashlee paused, gaze drifting toward the direction Leander had gone.

f Uncle Linden and Aunt Monica are telling the truth, then Victor and the others would not even be worthy of standing next to him.

He walked into the Grove alone and took Yvette back from the Walsh family.

That alone tells me exactly what kind of man he is.

nside Ravenridge Senior High’s auditorium, seats had nearly filled.

Victor, Shiloh, and Hendrix had been escorted to the guest section by Jacklyn and Melanie.

Another familiar face occupied the section as well–Jade.

During her senior year, she served as a class monitor for Class 4 and as the deputy director of the arts committee in the student council. After graduation, she had entered Highcliffe University of the Arts. Her presence at the centennial celebration telt inevitable.

Upon seeing Victor, Jade’s eyes brightened. “You’re all here.”

Victor maintained a composed expression and took the seat beside her His feelings toward Jade were lukewarm, though he appreciated the attention she gave him.

Jacklyn and Melanie, acting as hosts, settled nearby.

Victor scanned the room and asked curiously, “Weren’t others invited? Why are we the only ones here?”

Shiloh, Hendrix, and Jade all understood his implication.

Among their graduating class, besides the four present, the other notable names included Madeline, Yvette, and Ginny. Each of these three had complex connections to the men sitting here.

As their names came up, subtle changes appeared on their faces, making the atmosphere feel a little more tense.

Melanie responded quickly, “You mean Yvette and Ginny? They arrived yesterday and contacted me. They’ll definitely attend.”

She hesitated briefly before continuing, “Madeline is harder to confirm. The school mentioned that her identity is special. Her attendance depends on her schedule.”

Victor’s expression darkened at the mention of Madeline.
