NovelEnglishChapter 241 If It's Too Much
Naturally, the few notable elders who quietly arrived in Eragos all shared the sphoto on their social media
accounts-a picture of shumble, home-cooked meals.
These images quickly gained attention, and before long, they becthe center of conversation among the
upper crust of Eragos, spreading like wildfire overnight.
The next day, when Charmaine entered the classroom, her classmates were already buzzing about it.
“I never expected the Elders to be so humble. They've been here for days, and only last night did the news
leak,” one of them remarked.
“Yeah, they're so down-to-earth! | thought they'd be enjoying grand banquets with luxury dishes, but it was just
simple, homemade food.”
“Even though they've reached the pinnacle of success, they still stay grounded and care for the common
people!”
“My dad toldthat tons of people tried to get a meal with the Elders, but none of them succeeded. Even the
city’s secretary ... he only managed a cup of tea before they left.”
“But how did those Elders take those photos? They were all eating the sdishes, but the plates and table
settings were different.”
“I bet they ordered from the splace and ate at home.”

“This generation of netizens is hopeless-it's been hours, and no one has figured out which takeaway it was!”
Celeste, overhearing the conversation, looked over and saw Charmaine absorbed in a physics competition
problem. Suddenly, her mind wandered back to that creepy guy who had tried to make a move on Charmaine
that day.
After considering it for a moment, Celeste decided not to bring it up. Charmaine had always been there for her,
and now it was her turn to handle things.
She leaned toward Charmaine with a grin, speaking in a playful tone. “Everyone’s gossiping about the Elders.
Aren't you curious about what they're up to?”
Charmaine didn’t look up from her work. “Just a bunch of old people. Not really something to get curious about.”
Veronica, overhearing this, couldn't resist adding a sharp comment in a voice that was neither too loud nor too
quiet. “Speople will never get close to people like that. Even if they're curious, it’s pointless.”
Celeste immediately turned around to snap back. “Oh, look who's talking! You're acting like you're abou meet
them yourself.”
Veronica shot Celeste a glare. “Celeste, don’t try to act tough. It’s not like you're going to meet them either.”
Celeste puffed out her chest, a confident smirk on her face. “Actually, | can! What are you going to do about
it?”
She grinned and added, “The conference organizers contacted my piano teacher, and she recommendedto
perform for the Elders as a young representative.”

Then, she wrapped her arm around Charmaine’s. “Charmaine, you should cwith me. I can bring one guest,
and maybe we'll even get a chance to take a picture with the Elders!”
Charmaine blinked, grateful for the offer. “Sure.”
“Wow! Celeste, you're incredible!”
“Celeste’s piano teacher has so many awards. Not just anyone can study with her.”
“Not to mention, you need money for that!”
“I envy Charmaine so much! Celeste is the best friend ever, always thinking of bringing her along for the good
stuff!”
“I wouldn't be surprised if Celeste still hangs out with Leah and Veronica-they might even get to join her and
bask in her glory ...

Upon hearing this, Veronica's face turned pale with jealousy. She snapped at the person who made the comment,
“Who needs her to help them shine?”
The person quickly shrank back, realizing it was best to stay silent.

Leah patted Veronica on the back, her expression dark and calculating as she watched Celeste and Charmaine
being praised by everyone.
When Charmaine returned to the small villa, she overheard Freya on the phone with Emyr.
Freya's voice was as spoiled as usual, but this time, it carried an extra layer of clinginess and whiny complaints.
“Emyr, Master Field has finally given in. He promised that after the diplomatic conference, he'll treat your leg!
“You have no idea how miserable | am here. His temper is so erratic. The little attic has to be spotless every day,
the tea has to be changed daily, and even the orchids are more delicate than me! If the sun’s too bright or the
wind’s too strong, | have to move them to a different spot!”
On the other side of the line, Emyr listened to her constant complaints, his eyes falling on Charmaine standing
by the study door. His tone remained calm and indifferent as he replied, “I don’t need you to do this for me. If it's
too much for you, just go back.”
Freya immediately fell silent.
She had been hoping for Emyr to express gratitude or sympathy, but instead...
He seemed completely uninterested.
Frustrated, she pouted. “Emyr! I'm doing this out of my own will! | can endure anything for you, I'll bear all the
hardship!”
Afraid Emyr might say something else to upset her, Freya hurriedly ended the call.
