Chapter 755
Chapter 755:
On the screen was a striking image of Yelena, poised gracefully atop a white horse, radiating an aura of elegance and strength.
Austin froze, his eyes locked on the photo. He had always known Yelena was beautiful, but this picture elevated her allure to an almost otherworldly level.
Maggie, observing his reaction, couldn’t help but smirk. Finally, she thought, her son was showing some semblance of urgency.
But to her surprise, Austin simply saved the photo, forwarded it to himself via chat, and calmly returned the phone.
Maggie gawked at him, her mouth twitching in disbelief. “Why are you so calm? Don’t you feel even a flicker of jealousy or panic p>
Austin tilted his head, genuinely puzzled. “So many people are saying they like Yelena. Doesn’t that make you even a little uneasy?” Maggie pressed, her voice tinged with both curiosity and exasperation.
Ah, so that was what her frustration was all about. The puzzle pieces fell into place for Austin, and a small, knowing smile curved his lips.
Austin shrugged, his voice calm and confident. “Yelena is exceptional, so it’s only natural for people to admire her. But this online affection? It’s just a trend. Every day there’s a new one, and soon enough, she’ll be overshadowed by something else—or someone else. It’s just the nature of the Internet p>
Maggie clicked her tongue, clearly unimpressed. She believed Austin was underestimating Yelena’s magnetic allure.
Meanwhile, in the comment section beneath Yelena’s stunning photo, the floodgates had opened. Numerous people were already asking for her contact details, eager to collaborate with her.
Upon Yelena and Bernice’s return, Callum and the others were chatting comfortably in the living room. Donna, with her usual warmth, rose to greet them. “You’re back! Are you hungry? Let me get something ready for you,” she offered kindly.

Since Katelyn and Bernice had moved in, Elianna had quietly extended the courtesy of allowing Callum’s family to eat on their own instead of joining her for meals. This meant the kitchen was always stocked with ingredients, so Yelena could enjoy a meal whenever she wished.
Yelena smiled. “No need, Mom. We already had something with our friends p>
Bernice, clearly thrilled by the evening, chimed in. “Thanks to Yelena, I not only got to meet my idol and snap a picture with him, but I also had a meal with him! I’m on cloud nine p>
Callum, always one to lighten the mood, grinned. “Since you’re such a fan, why not invite him to our company’s annual gala p>
The Harris Group’s annual gala, held at the end of each year, was always a highlight. Employees received generous gifts, and the event was a joyous way to usher in the coming new year.
Bernice’s eyes brightened at the suggestion. “That sounds amazing! Let’s invite him p>
Yelena’s response was nonchalant. “I’m fine with that, but he’s not exactly easy to get. It all depends on his schedule p>
She paused for a moment, then added, “And he’s in high demand, so his fees aren’t exactly pocket change p>
Of course, Yelena’s bond with Colden meant that he might attend without charging anything, but she didn’t want to take advantage of him. She knew the sacrifices he had made earlier in his career, and things were just starting to look up for him.
