Chapter 258 Meeting Leighton’s Sister
She carried a sharp yet fresh and elegant aura.
Floyd and Opal were getting old, so they left Zora and Hallie in Jensen’s care.
“Celine p>
Jensen nodded gently the moment he spotted Celine.
“Celine,” Kian and Reed greeted in unison.
“Celine!” Hallie called out excitedly.
Finishe
“You still remember me, huh?” Celine shot Hallie a playful glare. “You never text me. I’d think you forgot all about me p>
“You’re always busy with work! I never know when you’re free, and I didn’t wanna bother you,” Hallie explained quickly.
As a diplomat, Celine was constantly swamped. People barely got to see her throughout the
year.
“Fair enough, that’s my bad.” Celine admitted her fault readily. “There’s a new bag released by L brand recently. I’ll get you one as an apology gift p>
She then turned her gaze to Zora, her eyes soft and warm without a trace of arrogance.
“Who’s this pretty little girl beside you p>
She had flown back into the country just half an hour ago and headed straight for the banquet. She saw Hallie right away and came over, so she hadn’t gotten a chance to catch up on the latest
news.
But the second she laid eyes on Zora, she had a faint guess, and excitement bubbled up inside her.
“Celine, this is my cousin, Zora,” Jensen introduced her.
“Right! Celine, this is Zora!” Hallie chimed in at once. “Zora, say hi to Celine p>
“You’re Zora p>
Celine’s eyes lit up instantly, her voice full of pure joy.
Her voice was a little loud, drawing many people’s attention.
“Hi, Celine p>

Chapter 8 Meeting Leightons Sister
1
Zora had been greeting people nonstop, and her mouth reacted faster than her brain on instinct.
“I can’t believe it’s really you! You’re such a gorgeous little sweetheart.” Celine’s tone turned utterly doting, her face lighting up with delight. “I’m Celine. I’m Leighton’s older sister p>
Her eyes locked onto Zora the second she finished speaking, staring at her fondly without looking away.
Her guess had been right.
This was the little girl Leighton had taken in and cared for. He had such great taste.
She couldn’t help feeling giddy. Finn hadn’t arrived yet, so she was the first one in the family to meet Leighton’s girl. She definitely had to brag about it later.
Zora’s eyes brightened when she heard she was Leighton’s sister. No wonder she was so beautiful, just like him.
All the good-looking people really were from the same family.
“Sweetheart, I got a little welcome gift for you.” Celine pulled a present out of her handbag. “Take this first. I’ll get you more later p>
The Pierce siblings knew Leighton had a little girl by his side helping him regulate his health. They had both been dying to meet Zora, but never had the chance.
For one thing, they were always busy. For another, Leighton never let them disturb her casually.
They’d only cleared their schedule to come to this banquet because they heard their aunt was bringing Zora here. They’d basically come just to see her.
Since it was a random banquet encounter, Leighton surely wouldn’t be mad at them.
Zora hesitated and glanced over at Jensen and the others. “Jensen p>
“It’s fine, take it. She’s got more than enough money,” Jensen smiled and reassured her.
Everyone knew the Pierce siblings doted on Leighton like he was their own life. Zora had helped Leighton so much, so she deserved this gift.
“Thank you, Celine.” Zora didn’t refuse anymore.
“No need to thank me, sweetheart. Let’s add each other’s contacts p>
Celine pulled out her phone right away.

She had a little plan. Leighton loved this little girl. If she got close to Zora, she could use her to spend more time with Leighton. If she was good to Zora, Leighton would never stay mad at
her!
Zora added Celine’s contact without hesitation.
Seeing how fond Celine was of Zora, onlookers secretly observing them held her in higher regard.
There was now one more powerful person in Seacrest that no one dared to mess with.
She had the Morgans, the Sloans and the Marlows backing her up, plus Leighton watching over
her.
No one could afford to provoke her.
Jensen and the others were swamped. Though it was just a hundred-day banquet, it was never only about attending the party. There were endless conversations, negotiations and social duties to get through.
In just a short while, countless groups of people had swarmed over to talk to them.
“Zora, come find us if you need anything,” Jensen said to the girls as they were about to leave.
He caught Zora subtly rubbing her sore cheeks and smiled softly.
“Okay p>
Zora had barely sat down to rest before she had to walk around and socialize again. Her face was practically stiff from smiling. She nodded quickly the second she got permission to leave.
“Hurry, my face is freezing up.” Zora tugged Hallie’s arm.
The two girls quickly slipped away from the crowded center of the hall.
“Ugh… I’m never coming to one of these banquets again p>
