Chapter 502 The Majestic Big Dipper

After playfully yanking on Lily's dress, Danny immediately put on a stern face. “Lily, you said youhad something important to talk about. What's up?” he asked.

“You're going to be my assistant!” Lily’s answer stopped Danny dead in his tracks.

“Your assistant?” he echoed, slightly baffled.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you want to?” she probed.

“Will I get paid?” he wondered aloud.

“Paid? Consider yourself lucky to be my assistant. I’m already doing you a favor by not chargingyou for the opportunity,” she said matter-of-factly.

Lily tossed the car keys to Danny with an authoritative air, “Since you’re my assistant now, you’redriving!”

Catching the keys, Danny was stunned to replace the Ferrari emblem, the iconic prancing horse. “Noway! A Ferrari! Lily, you’re loaded! With this kind of money, you’re totally a sugar mommy! Will youtake care of me?” he asked mischievously.

“You scoundrel, isn’t Jessica taking good care of you already? You want me to do it too?” Lilyretorted, half amused and half annoyed.

“The more, the merrier!” Danny quipped, flashing her a cheeky grin.

“Save it. Now drive!” Lily barked, hiding a smile as she settled into the passenger seat of thegleaming Ferrari.

After sliding the key into the ignition and grasping the steering wheel, Danny asked with a grin, “SoLily, where are we headed?”

“The Big Dipper,” she replied briefly.

“The Big Dipper?” Danny found the name curious, sensing there was something special about it. Heprobed further, “What place is that?”

“A great place,” Lily responded, keeping it mysterious.

“A great place? You don’t mean disastrously great, do you?” quizzed Danny.

“The Big Dipper is hailed as the finest palace in the USA. Inside, it might be a matter of life anddeath, or one of skyrocketing success. The landowner is known as The Divine Star. I won’t lie toyou, I'm bringing you to The Big Dipper because I need your help with a tiny favor,” Lily confessed.

“A tiny favor? Like what?” Danny inquired, intrigued.

“To meet The Divine Star,” she explained.

“Meet The Divine Star? But you’re one of the Matthews. If you can’t meet this person, how can I?”Danny questioned, showing a flicker of doubt.

“That old oddball, The Divine Star, is notoriously temperamental, and doesn’t give a hoot about theinfluence of the eight families. To meet him, it takes more than just clout,” Lily said earnestly.

“More than clout? What then?” Danny pressed.

“What else could it be? Obviously, it’s a man’s strength!” she hinted slyly.

...

The Ferrari blazed through the streets and soon reached its destination—a grand, imposingcomplex of ancient architecture gleaming golden in the sunset’s glow. This magnificent place wasThe Big Dipper.

Danny, well-versed in architecture, needed only a glance to recognize the exceptional craftmanship.Every building, every detail, every blade of grass and tree was meticulously arranged—clearly, TheBig Dipper was not renowned for nothing.

Lily noticed Danny’s captivated gaze and asked with a teasing smile, “Country boy, what are youstaring at?”

“I’m looking at The Big Dipper, of course!” he said, absorbed.

“The Big Dipper? What’s so fascinating about it?” Lily wondered, not as impressed.

“It’s prettier than you,” he jested.

That comment earned Danny a roll of the eyes from Lily. “Prettier than me? What’s so pretty about itthen? You’ve been staring for a while now, what have you figured out about The Big Dipper?”
