Chapter 2165
Keegan spoke in a relaxed tone, "I prioritized my studies, gaining the ability to control my own life before delving into celebrity fandom.
"What about you? At your age, you still rely on your parents for everything. Even if they can afford your star-craze pursuits, what will your position be when you finally share the stage with your idol?
"Her starlight shouldn't just dazzle your eyes; it should also illuminate your path forward. Do you intend to lose yourself in her glow, or do you aspire to shine together under the same sky?"
Joe was taken aback. No one had ever spoken to him like this before. With an accomplished elder brother at home, he had simply been expected to live happily on his own terms. His family didn't mind his lavish spending on celebrity pursuits, and although they had commented on his grades, the path laid out for him was to graduate, pursue a master's degree abroad, and return to the family business with a prestigious education.
But a degree obtained through wealth was ultimately hollow; deep down, he remained the incompetent second-generation rich kid. What identity would he have when he finally faced his idol? The status of being the second son of the Esper family was naturally prestigious enough, but beyond that, who was Joe?
Keegan continued slowly, "Consider this: Does the brilliance of fans enhance the shine of the idol, or does the radiance of the idol elevate the fans?"
Keegan's words were truly thought-provoking!
If the fans were influential enough, few would question the talent of the idol; after all, exceptional individuals tend to attract each other. Conversely, if the fans were mediocre, no matter how talented the idol was, they might not appear impressive to others, as all those who admired her seemed mediocre.
Joe's expression turned serious. "Bro, are you sure you're not a teacher? Your persuasiveness surpasses that of our teachers'. If I had encountered a teacher like you in school, how could I have scored so poorly on the college entrance exam? I want to be classmates with Stella, regardless of rank!"
As Keegan perused some documents, he comforted Joe, "It's never too late to study hard. Trinity University still offers master's and doctoral programs. With dedication, becoming classmates is entirely feasible."
During dinner that night, Grace noticed her youngest son's absence and instructed the housekeeper to call him downstairs.
In less than three minutes, the housekeeper returned with an astonished expression. "Mrs. Esper, the young master is studying!"
Grace was taken aback. "What did you say?" "The young master is in the study, engrossed in his books. He's really diligent. I called him multiple times before he heard me. He told me that he hasn't solved a problem yet. He'll come down once he does. He insisted you start without him."
Grace blinked, then frowned. "Is he up to something? Is this sudden studiousness a facade?" "I didn't see the eldest young master scold him, so I suppose not," the housekeeper replied.
Nevertheless, Grace couldn't shake the feeling that her son might be scheming. How could he suddenly be studying? Whenever she urged him to, he'd complain of a headache.
Upon inspecting the study herself, Grace confirmed her youngest son was indeed studying!
