Quentin calculated the costs, feeling a bit pained. "With so many of us, just the travel expenses will be over 200 dollars.
"We don't know where Claire's family moved to. If we can't find them, we'll have to stay in a hotel, which will cost even more."
Although government poverty alleviation policies had lifted the entire village out of poverty long ago, the Stevens family lived in a two-story concrete house but only managed to cover basic needs, not truly reaching a comfortable or affluent lifestyle.
Their combined savings barely reached 2 thousand dollars, so spending 200 dollars on a trip felt painful.
Hamza shrugged it off. "As long as we can find Claire, we won't have to worry about money. As relatives of a big star, we should be generous so no one laughs at us for being poor."
Quentin nodded. "Hamza is right. We need to dress well tomorrow so we don't embarrass ourselves."
Ronan cautioned everyone and said, "We need to keep our mouths shut about the 2 million dollars. Don't let anyone know Claire has made it big, or everyone will come asking her for help. That way, our benefits will decrease."
Everyone agreed, "Of course, we definitely can't let the villagers know. We'll just say we're going to the county for fun."
Violet asked, "What about Joel's family?"
Violet had three children in total.
The eldest was Quentin, the second was Claire, and the youngest was Catherine.
Claire and Catherine had long severed ties with them.
Quentin had two sons, Gavin Stevens and Joel Stevens, both of whom were married with children. Quentin lived in the county with his eldest son Gavin, and Hamza was Gavin's son.
Only Ronan and Violet remained in the village, without children or grandchildren to care for them.
Despite this, they still cherished their sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons, wanting to support them without being a burden.
Violet was holding Joel's two-year-old son.
Quentin said, "We'll first check things out in Kitmore City. After finding Claire's family, we can contact Joel's family."
Everyone agreed with this plan and happily went to sleep.
That night, they couldn't help but smile in their sleep, dreaming of standing next to a famous star, with money raining from the sky and countless people surrounding them, praising and showering them with admiration.
Interestingly, Ronan and his wife stayed up late, but when they woke up in the morning, they still felt energized. They took a van from the village to the town, then a bus from the town to the county, and finally a long-distance bus to Kitmore City, enduring over eight hours of travel without tiring.
By the time they arrived in Kitmore City, it was already evening, forcing them to stay overnight at a hotel near the bus station.
The next morning, Ronan and Violet, along with Quentin and Hamza, went to find Claire, leaving the others at the hotel.
The arrangement was made because Ronan and Violet were Claire's parents, and Quentin was her brother, so their status and authority were higher than Claire's, ensuring she would listen to them.
Hamza was also energetic, smart, and tech-savvy with his phone, so he could be helpful.
Of course, Hamza's cleverness was relative to the uneducated adults and elders around him.
He himself wasn't fond of studying and preferred playing games, so he wasn't very skilled with computers, only able to search for Zayn's news online and unaware of how to find information about the rest of the Donovan family.
In short, they found the self-built house where the Donovan family had lived over a decade ago. The house still stood, but the owners had changed multiple times, and no one knew who Wesley was.
Quentin squatted down and cried, "We've spent so much money to come here, yet we can't find Claire. What are we going to do? We can't just go back empty-handed!"
Hamza, thinking quickly, suggested, "The internet says Zayn is filming at the CineCraft Studios. How about we go there? He's a big star, and once we get there, we can just ask around, and we should be able to find him."
As soon as Quentin heard this, he immediately stood up. "We've spent so much on travel expenses. There's no way we're going back empty-handed. Let's head to CineCraft Studios right now. If we can't find them, we'll go to the TV station and ask for help finding the big stars."
And just like that, they headed back to the hotel, gathered the others, and, with determination, rented two taxis, and went straight to CineCraft Studios.
Meanwhile, after more than a month of being busy, Alaric finally came home, holding his championship trophy.
