Chapter 418
Chapter 418
"Mother, what makes you so happy again? You always have a smile on your face these years."
In the southeast corner of Piltover, a luxurious residence stands like a shining pearl.
The nearly 5,000 square meters of land around it is surrounded by a brand new white fence, like a beautiful landscape.
The marble road in front of the big iron gate leads straight to the mansion, highlighting the owner's noble status.
In the sparsely populated Freljord, this kind of land may not be so precious, but this is Piltover, where every inch of land represents gold coins.
This luxurious three-story villa not only comes with a beautiful garden and a clear pool, but even the precious Piltover land around it has been vacated as a spacious open space.
This residence is in an extremely advantageous location, not only away from the odor of industrial waste, but also has charming scenery.
It is adjacent to the sea but maintains a proper distance, which can avoid the adverse effects of the ocean and allow people to easily walk to the white sandy beach and enjoy the gentle caress of the sea breeze.
Walking into the villa, it is a magnificent and magnificent scene.
The marble steps bear the weight of the entire building, and the precious carpets cover the wide corridors. Every step is like stepping on soft clouds.
The jade statues full of artistic atmosphere are carefully placed in the art gallery for display, exuding a unique charm.
From the ceiling to the walls, to the furniture, all show the ultimate luxury and taste.
A girl with long dark blue hair walked through the corridor full of artistic atmosphere with a heavy heart.
However, she was indifferent to the surrounding environment and only wanted to find her mother who was enjoying afternoon tea leisurely in the lounge.
Because only during this time can Caitlin find a chance to have a good talk with her mother.
At other times, her busy mother is always entangled with various important affairs.
After all, her mother is one of the members of the Supreme Council of Piltover!
Caitlin and Cassandra's status in the family is self-evident. Just look at her full name - Caitlin Gillamane, she takes her mother's surname to understand everything.
Ms. Cassandra Gillamane looks very comfortable at this moment.
Although she is close to middle age, Ms. Cassandra still maintains a beautiful figure.
She straightened her spine, dressed in a decent crimson outfit, and sat elegantly in an office chair sipping coffee.
Due to years of careful care and maintenance, the years have not left too many marks on this woman's face, but have given her a unique charm. She exudes a strong and elegant temperament unique to the rich in Piltover.
Ms. Gillamane looks quite similar to the girl who broke into the room just now. If someone who doesn't know sees the two of them for the first time, they may mistake them for a pair of beautiful rich sisters.
"What's going on? Little Kate, why did you rush in so recklessly? Didn't I warn you that as a woman, you should be elegant at all times and in all places! Remember, elegance never fades!"
Looking at her reckless daughter, Cassandra took a sip of coffee in the cup and frowned slightly.
Caitlin, who looked very young and beautiful in a blue and white textured dress, looked embarrassed and chuckled, but her hands were involuntarily behind her back, and her fingers were tightly entangled.
Yes, Caitlin knew very well that if she confessed her dream in front of her mother, she would be strongly opposed.
Caitlin wanted to muster up the courage to tell her mother the truth, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly changed her mind:
"Mother? I see that you seem to be in a very good mood. Is there something special that makes you so happy?"
Lady Cassandra's face was full of smiles. She looked at her daughter with satisfaction and said: "Caitlin, your observation is as sharp as ever!"
Then, she couldn't wait to share her joy with her daughter:
"The reason why I am so happy is because of Jace Tallis!
It can be said that the best decision I have made in my life is to fund his research!
Our Gilaman family is at the forefront. We recognized Jayce’s talent long before he showed his true talent!
Now some people even call me a ‘pioneer researcher of Hextech’! In fact, I just invested some money.
Do you know that the stability of Hextech is amazing, and its energy utilization rate is also amazing!
And that steel-made spaceship, it actually circled most of the Valoran continent! It returned to Piltover the day before yesterday! "
Speaking of this, Lady Cassandra's eyes flashed with pride., as if seeing the infinite possibilities of the future.
Caitlin sighed in her heart, her mother didn't seem to care about her.
Cassandra didn't notice her daughter's emotional changes at all, and still told the story with great interest:
"Caitlin, do you know the latest research results of that boy? Hextech Flying Gate! That is a space teleportation machine that even I am amazed by!
And this Hextech Flying Gate has passed the triple test! Only the last two rounds are left!
As long as there is a beacon as a guide, it can allow airships and supplies to be teleported from Piltover to any corner of the Valoran continent in an instant!
Do you understand what this means? We, who are already located in the canal and transportation hub, will become even richer!
Hextech will surely become the guide for the City of Progress to develop economic trade and move towards prosperity..."
Mrs. Cassandra became more and more excited.
She seemed to have completely forgotten that she had been in trouble five years ago because of the out-of-control incident of Jace's magic Hextech experiment.
Due to the uncontrollable and dangerous nature of the blacksmith, all financial support for him was resolutely cut off, and the uncontrollable power of Hex and magic was resolutely resisted.
However, fate made people play tricks on people. The blacksmith boy created a miracle belonging to Piltover. However, this was also an opportunity for the Gilaman family and Piltover.
Caitlin looked at Cassandra so happy, and she was secretly happy in her heart. Finally, she found a suitable time to express her wishes to her mother.
She took a deep breath and said with courage:
"Mom! I have a dream. I hope to become a brave and fearless police officer! What do you think? I am eager to contribute my own strength to the Piltover we love!"
"Of course!" After the words fell, Cassandra, who was imagining the future and ambitious, heard these words, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her head, and her bold words stopped in an instant.
She turned her head in astonishment and stared at Caitlin, not daring to believe what she had just heard.
"Hmm? Little Kate, what did you say just now?" Cassandra's voice was filled with a hint of doubt and shock.
Caitlin obviously did not expect her mother to pay so much attention to her every word, and her excitement made her stutter a little.
"Really? Mom, you actually agreed? I mean, I am very willing to make my own insignificant efforts for Piltover!"
However, Cassandra shook her head gently and said firmly: "I mean, one sentence before."
Caitlin stabilized her emotions a little, carefully recalled what she had just said, and then answered clearly again:
"I said, I want to be a glorious police officer in the Piltover Guard!"
She looked at her mother expectantly, thinking that she would get a positive answer this time. However, to her disappointment, Cassandra gave a negative answer without hesitation.
"Oh, I don't agree!" Cassandra's answer was understated, but the firmness contained in it was unquestionable.
"Why? I think so. That's my dream!"
A trace of surprise flashed across Caitlin's face, which was as soft and beautiful as a cake, which was unique to rich girls.
Kadesanla raised her coffee cup and waved it towards Caitlin, then sneered at her daughter's dream:
"Why? You ask me why? How can the daughter of the Gilaman family become a police inspector?
You have a better and brighter future. Even if you are my only child, the future of the entire Gilaman family belongs to you!
You should go to the cocktail party! Go sit in the front row of the Evolution Day Technology Conference! Go to take charge of the top-level building and become one of the helmsmen of Piltover!
Instead of being a janitor!"
"Mom! How can you say that! Piltover is considered the [City of Progress]. The extremely low crime rate is due to the efforts of the police officers, just like Sheriff Grayson, they are all great!" Caitlin asked in disbelief.
Rich girls will have various problems and issues in the process of being raised in wealth, but Caitlin does not have these problems.
She is an ideal and ambitious girl. She is not satisfied with enjoying a rich life, but hopes to contribute to society through her own efforts.
This is because Caitlin's parents were very busy when she was young and had almost no time to discipline her.
In addition, she often communicated and learned with Sheriff Grayson, who loved guns. Influenced by him, Caitlin developed resistance to some of her parents' views.
"Caitlin! Look, you are wrong. The reason for the low crime rate in Piltover is not him.They are not the police, but me! Think about it, who pays the police station's salary? "Kadesanla smiled disdainfully.
However, Caitlin still firmly adheres to her belief:
"It's not like that... Mom, you always try to control my future, but I am an adult, and I should choose my own path!
Have you forgotten? Dad was attacked and robbed on the way home! That night, I picked up my father's rifle without hesitation and walked out of the house resolutely!
With the subtle clues left at the crime scene, I successfully tracked down the hateful robber and completely subdued him!
Please, Mom? Sheriff Grayson also said that in her life, I am the person with the most potential to become a police inspector she has ever seen! "
