Chapter 283 Raymond had reserved the most luxurious ocean-view suite at the Havencrest Grand for the celebration-a space offering an unobstructed panorama of the fireworks display outside.
It was breathtaking. Citrine had never seen fireworks so magnificent in her life.
She watched them intently, the corners of her lips lifting in a genuine smile, her eyes sparkling with unfiltered joy.
Meanwhile, her family and friends quietly captured the moment-swith cameras, others simply storing the memory in their hearts.
While Citrine gazed at the sky ablaze with color, all eyes in the room were fixed on her.
When the fireworks faded, a new spectacle appeared: thousands of helicopters forming glowing words in the night sky.

"She's the real deal. This is what true privilege looks like." "Who else could charter thousands of private helicopters for her birthday? Who else could get all of Havencrest's most powerful figures to send their blessings?" "I'm in awe. I was lucky enough to witness it from outside the venue that night-it was absolutely dazzling." "With this kind of reputation, if I were her, I'd walk through Havencrest like I owned the place." "These big shots just spoil her so much." "She's absolutely captivating." Citrine's eighteenth birthday was nothing short of spectacular.
She received a mountain of gifts, and it wasn't until late that evening that she finally had a chance to open them.
But nothing surprised her quite like Raymond's present.
He had given her eighteen gifts in total.
Each one cwith a handwritten card.
Citrine opened them one by one.
The first was a tiny gold locket.
"My dearest daughter, today marks the day you entered this world. I know your first year must have been so hard and I'm sorry I didn't know you existed. This little locket is my way of making it up to you. I hope you'll always be safe." The second was a Rubik's Cube.

"You probably never had one of these growing up. I know I can never give you back your childhood, and this is a little late, but I still wanted you to have it." The fourth was a smart watch.
"You would have been starting grade school around now. It's late, buth on, no matter hope that from nowy Slate buth what happens, you'll always callif you need anything." For her fifth birthday, Raymond gave Citrine an oddly shaped pearl from the seashore.
"My precious girl, I hope you grow as freely as this pearl." As Citrine read each card and unwrapped each gift, her eyes grew misty.
She had opened all the gifts meant for her years before eighteen.
