"What you seek isn't what I seek."

Chloe Bishop said to Ava Adam, "Truth is, I'm a failure in some ways too. You're luckier than me—you've always had a man quietly watching over you from behind."

"Lucky than you?"

Ava Adam let out a bitter laugh. "Hearing you say that really surprises me. Maybe you're right—what we want is different, so I'm always left feeling unsatisfied and discontent."

She paused, then asked Chloe Bishop, "Do you know why I'm so obsessed with beating you?"

    She crossed her arms, and the delicate, innocent image she usually projected was utterly gone. Now she looked more like a poisonous flower—thorny and venomous.The man lowered his head, briefly glancing at her legs before looking away at just the right moment."So what do we do next?"Sara Jay was silent for a while, tapping her finger lightly on her shoulder. Finally, she said, "Is Chloe Bishop still with Xavier?""No. Xavier stayed in Brookfield. Chloe Bishop has returned. And… our people have been captured."Sara Jay frowned, a cold aura radiating from her. Fury and unease made her pace in circles. "Useless! Incompetent! Every single one of you! Even with Xavier out of the way, you couldn't get it done. And now with heightened security, how are we supposed to touch Chloe Bishop?"The man remained silent."Where are they now?" Sara Jay spun around abruptly.The man replied, "They're being held by Charlie. I believe they're being interrogated to find out who's behind all this. And… t

    Vincent glanced deeply at Chloe Bishop, who was sound asleep in the room, and nodded. "Take it slow."He didn't tell Anna what had happened—she was an outsider, after all. There was no need to burden her with details.He turned to leave, but Anna grabbed his arm. "Wait—you're hurt too."Vincent looked down at his hand. Five of his knuckles were scraped and raw. But men like him didn't pay much attention to such things. "It's nothing. I'm used to it."Anna's clear, star-like eyes widened, and she pouted in mild reproach. "That doesn't matter. In my eyes, you're a patient, and I'm a doctor. Come downstairs—I'll tend to it."Vincent wasn't one to fuss. He turned back toward the room, but she tugged him firmly. "If that gets infected, you'll run a high fever—look how red your face is right now."He skeptically touched his forehead. It didn't feel hot. With a helpless sigh, he said, "Your main job is to look after the madam. You don't need to worry about me."Anna ran in front of him, bloc

    Brandon Jay picked up the ashtray and headed for the door, saying over her shoulder, "It's three in the afternoon. You've been asleep for two hours.""Two hours, huh. Make me a cup of coffee."Brandon Jay clicked her tongue in displeasure."Come on, boss. When are you going to start treating your body like it's actually yours? Do you even realize how different you look now from the dashing young man you used to be?"Liam Martin propped his chin on his hand, blinked a couple of times, and stayed silent.Right now, he had dark circles under his eyes, bags that were almost drooping, and a wild, unkempt beard. He looked absolutely filthy. If it weren't for Brandon Jay, anyone else would've run for the hills the moment they saw him."Brandon, do you want to leave me?"Her hand froze on the doorknob. She spun around, her face flushed with anger. "Liam, what do you mean by that? Are you giving up on yourself?"Liam Martin shrugged nonchalantly, holding a cigarette between two fingers and blo

    He blinked a few times and stayed silent.Afraid that Xavier Grayson might not believe him, the others quickly nodded in agreement. "Yes, that's right. She always sent a man named Philip to contact us. Philip gave us a photo of Chloe Bishop and told us to kill her. He also paid us a huge sum of money."Xavier Grayson tapped his wine glass lightly. Beside him, Caesor adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, which gleamed in the light, and crossed his legs. "And what does this Philip look like?"One of the men replied, "He's tall and handsome. Monolid eyes. He has an earring in his left ear. Oh, and he has a mole on the left side of his chin."With such distinct features, it wouldn't be hard to find him. Caesor asked again, "Where did you meet? Brookfield or back home?""Back home. Philip said hiring people domestically was cheaper."Xavier Grayson let out a breath and found himself momentarily speechless.Caesor's presence wasn't far behind Xavier Grayson's, but with him around, Caesor usuall

    The men at the front swept their sharp gazes across the room. Finding nothing amiss and no one else present, they bowed respectfully and apologized. "Apologies, madam. We are Mr. Charlie's bodyguards, sent by Mr. Grayson to protect you."Chloe Bishop didn't recognize any of them, but as soon as she heard the name "Grayson," she felt at ease.Little did she know, the young nurse who had just approached the door was now crouched in a corner, clutching her chest and trembling.In the blink of an eye, this many bodyguards?Good thing she hadn't gone in—she wouldn't have known how she died.——Xavier Grayson sat with Caesor on an antique-style sofa, flipping through a stack of portraits. These were all the individuals involved in the riot.More than half of them had been killed or captured.Caesor pulled out a separate set of portraits—all American nationals—and handed them over. "Here are the ones from our country. I knew this wasn't just a coincidence."Xavier Grayson took them, flipped

    A young nurse pushed a cart into the room. Though she wore a mask, her eyes seemed to smile. "Miss Bishop, I'm here to apply your medicine."Chloe Bishop nodded, rolled up her sleeve, and revealed the scrapes on her arm.It wasn't really necessary—but Xavier insisted on three changes a day to prevent infection. The routine was starting to wear her out.The nurse clumsily popped open the cap of the medicine bottle. Chloe Bishop was absorbed in her sketches and only asked casually at the unusual sound, "New medicine?""Mm… yes," the nurse replied.Chloe Bishop didn't look up and continued studying the designs. The nurse drew liquid into a syringe—just as a knock came at the door.Startled, the nurse quickly put the syringe down and grabbed a cotton ball instead.Nora Fatehi and Gwen Grayson walked in. Gwen Grayson was beaming. From behind her back, she produced a giant teddy bear and handed it to Chloe Bishop. "Nora and I went to the market and found a claw machine. Spent some money and

    “Have you found out who did this yet?”Liam Martin’s usually handsome, refined face was currently shrouded in a dark, suffocating shadow. He looked cold and lethal—the literal personification of the calm before a devastating storm.At twenty-four, Liam had spent the last six years clawing his way t

    “Where am I?”Chloe Bishop bolted upright, her head spinning with a sickening heaviness. The room was cold, sterile, and completely unfamiliar. She scrambled to get out of bed, her heart hammering against her ribs. She couldn't be here. Tomorrow was her wedding day—the day she would finally marry L

    Looking into Chloe’s bloodshot eyes, Liam withdrew his probing gaze. He lowered his eyelids, remaining silent and detached, his long lashes veiling whatever emotions stirred beneath.Chloe had always adored Liam’s physical perfection. Even now, standing there in the dim light, he looked like a flaw

    Outside the Operating Room.Chloe sat on a plastic chair, still wearing her million-dollar designer wedding dress. She was trembling, sitting as still as a lifeless mannequin. The dress, once pure and white, was now stained with dark, wet patches of blood. Against the crimson stains, her skin looke
