Little Phoenix stood at the site where the gunfire had erupted two nights ago. Puddles of blood were scattered everywhere at her feet, swarming with ants and flies feeding on them—a gruesome sight.

It had been two days and one night. Seth Rollins was nowhere to be found—no sign of life, no trace of his body.

"Let's go back. At this rate, your body won't hold up."

Ever since Seth had fallen into the sea, Little Phoenix hasn't closed her eyes or eaten a thing. Her lips were cracked and peeling, a

    Xavier Grayson thought about it and realized she had a point."Then stop feeling like you're troubling us from now on."Rick Grayson gave him a small smile.Just then, Xavier Grayson's phone rang.He glanced at the caller ID—it was Finch.Finch was managing Eagle Enterprises for him. If he was calling at this hour, something must have happened at the company.He answered immediately. "Finch.""Boss Grayson, we've got a problem with the shipment."Xavier Grayson: "What kind of problem?"Finch seemed to be organizing his words."That shipment from overseas—the one from Mr. Fields—when we received it, we found a batch of defective goods. At least a third of it was damaged. We looked into it and discovered someone deliberately sabotaged it."Xavier Grayson frowned. He hated it when people stabbed him in the back.Especially when it involved his own company, Eagle Enterprises."Find out who's behind this. How did you know it was deliberate?"Finch let out a breath. "To be honest, I didn't

    They were indeed tall and imposing, but Lucas wasn't afraid of a fight. Just five or six men—no big deal. He curled his lips. "You think five or six guys can do anything to me?"Nadia shook her head and gave a light clap.The next moment, Lucas heard the sound of chaotic footsteps from downstairs—and suddenly, countless figures appeared in the hallway. At a glance, he couldn't even see the end of them. A sea of black.Lucas bit his lip. A dozen men, he could still handle. But a few hundred? Given Nadia's status, it wasn't out of the question for her to mobilize the entire security force of the Du residence.Still, he hadn't expected her to come this prepared. She'd brought this many people.Lucas tapped his forehead and looked at Nadia. "Hold on. I'll go inside and get the USB drive for you."Nadia finally felt like she'd regained some footing. She lifted her chin and looked down at him.Lucas went inside and came back out three minutes later. He handed her a USB drive. "All your phot

    Lucas watched the little scene unfold and blocked the doorway. "Mrs. Bennett, don't bother coming in. You won't get past me anyway."Nadia wanted to go inside and talk privately precisely because she didn't want to discuss these matters in front of the bodyguards.These men were Nicholas Taylor's people. If even one of them had a loose tongue and told him what she was up to, she'd be asking for trouble.That was why she wanted to get inside.But she hadn't expected Lucas to bar the door.She curled her lips into a cold smirk. "What's this supposed to mean? Can't we have a private chat?"Lucas shrugged, looking completely unbothered. "Nope. A man and a woman alone in a room—people will get the wrong idea. How about we just talk right here? Tell your bodyguards to back off."He grabbed his room key, slipped on his shoes, and stepped out, closing the door behind him.Standing tall, he fixed her with a sharp, piercing gaze.His commanding presence made Nadia take an involuntary step back.

    The boy clung to him like an octopus, locking him in a tight grip.Xavier Grayson stared at the ceiling in resignation.He had turned into a human body pillow—just like that.Oh well. As long as the kid was happy.With that thought, he switched off the light.Little did he know, Adrian Grayson was smiling beneath the covers.That smile carried layers of meaning.Nadia and her bodyguards went to the mall and bought a haul of jewelry and clothes. Then she headed to Eagle Enterprises' office building.Gazing up at the towering skyscraper, her eyes burned with envy.She had been this close to bringing Xavier Grayson's company down.But Hank Grayson—that useless piece of trash—had been completely unreliable.She let out a sigh, put on her sunglasses, and turned to leave.Now that she was pregnant, she had no interest in continuing her fight against Chloe Bishop and Xavier Grayson.After all, she had more important things on her mind now.Like finding Lucas.And confronting him about why he

    The four of them walked around the school grounds for a while. But after making a full circle, they still hadn't found anything good—just apartment buildings and older units. And Xavier Grayson wanted to find a quiet place for Rick Grayson.Chloe Bishop pointed at a sales office not far away. "Let's check that place out. If there's a quiet villa available, we could buy one for Rick Grayson."By now, Adrian Grayson was already tired—they'd been running around all afternoon looking at properties. Xavier Grayson carried him into the sales office.It took them another hour to view the property, go through the paperwork, and arrange for furnishing. Finally, the purchase was complete.Watching her brother and sister-in-law go through all this trouble for her, Rick Grayson felt a little embarrassed. But she didn't know how to say it, so she just stayed quiet during dinner, holding Adrian Grayson in her arms.Chloe Bishop immediately noticed something was off. She nudged Xavier Grayson gently

    Xavier Grayson glanced through the school's promotional materials and videos, then pushed them over to Chloe Bishop with a satisfied nod. "Take a look."Chloe Bishop slowly flipped through the brochure from start to finish. She could see that Greenton truly had reason to be proud—there was a good reason it had stood strong in Brookfield for decades.She nodded in approval and looked at Rick Grayson.Rick Grayson had always followed her brother and sister-in-law's lead, and this time was no different.Her cheeks flushed as she said, "I'm fine with anything. Whatever Big Brother and Sister-in-law think is best."Chloe Bishop considered for a moment. "I think this school is great. They have dorms on campus—do you want to live in one, Rick?"Rick Grayson shook her head.She didn't dare."Could I live off campus? I'm scared."She shrank back into the sofa like a wounded kitten.Xavier Grayson: "What do you think of this school?"Rick Grayson nodded. "I think it's really good."Xavier Grays

    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

    Chloe pinched the tiny scrap of black lace between her fingers, her expression filled with pure skepticism. "Are you serious? Is this even wearable?"Wouldn't just pinning him down be faster and more efficient? she thought.Bella rolled her eyes at Chloe’s lack of romantic vision. "What do you know

    “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
