Rick Grayson's face flushed slightly as she edged closer behind Chloe Bishop.

Seeing how shy the young girl was, Sam didn't press further. Instead, he turned his attention to Chloe Bishop.

"I heard from Jin that you have some experience with painting, Sister Chloe. Care to give it a try?"

Chloe Bishop waved her hand. "I'd better not. It's been years since I last touched a brush—my skills are long gone. I can't compare to professionals like you."

Sam wasn't buying it. "You think I'll believe tha

    What Chloe Bishop had actually meant was that she'd only ever heard Tom's name but had never met him in person. Now that she knew the master was here, she was simply curious.But Xavier Grayson had taken it to mean she suspected he was here because of Scarlett Johnson.The two of them were talking about completely different things.Tina, full of admiration, patted Jin's arm. "Look! That's Scarlett Johnson's grandfather! And behind him—that's Scarlett Johnson herself!"Jin shot her a look. "Keep your voice down. What kind of spectacle are you making?"Tina immediately quieted down, seeming to realize she'd gotten carried away. She pressed her lips together and leaned against him.Xavier Grayson, however, couldn't have cared less. He didn't even glance at Scarlett Johnson. His eyes stayed fixed on Chloe Bishop's face, searching for something.But all he saw was curiosity and mild surprise—no jealousy, no anger.That was somewhat unexpected.Chloe Bishop smiled lightly. "I never thought

    Her eyes locked onto him, but she didn't dare approach.Sam was helping his classmates carry chairs. With his clean-cut features and gentle, scholarly demeanor, he directed everyone in an orderly manner, moving with quiet efficiency.Sunlight fell upon his soft black hair, making him look impossibly youthful and radiant.He wiped the sweat from his brow and turned—spotting Rick standing not far off, staring straight at him.Almost instinctively, he waved at her.But just as he was about to call out, the girl turned on her heel and walked away without a second glance.He stared after her, confused.They'd gotten along so well the past few days—what had changed today?Had he done something wrong? Offended her somehow?Sam scratched his head, lost in thought."Sam, where should I put this?"A voice came from beside him. He turned and pointed to a corner. "Over there—that's for the homeroom teacher.""Got it."After giving the instruction, he looked back toward where Rick had been standin

    Adrian Grayson tried to move, but Xavier Grayson's hand kept him pinned in place. He whined, "Uncle, I just want to give Chloe a hug!""Don't move. If something happens, I'm not taking responsibility."With that, Xavier Grayson turned away, refusing to look at him.Adrian Grayson huffed in frustration, crossed his arms, and plopped back into his seat with a pout.Chloe Bishop let out a dry laugh and glanced over at Rick.She noticed Rick staring out the window, lost in thought, a dreamy smile on her face before she finally turned away.Soon, they arrived at Greenton College. The scene was grand and lively.The four of them stepped out of the car and stood there for a good while, taking it all in.Adrian Grayson let out a "Wow!" and pointed at a nearby stall. "They have grilled teppanyaki!"Rick's eyes sparkled as she wiped the corner of her mouth. "I see takoyaki!"Chloe Bishop beamed and grabbed both their hands. "Come on, let's go eat!"But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't

    She looked almost bashful—even her earlobes had turned red.Sensing something was off, Chloe Bishop studied her carefully, then took her hand. "Is there another reason?"Rick looked up as if to speak, then quickly averted her gaze.Her shy demeanor made Chloe Bishop smile. "Is there someone you like?"Rick gasped sharply and stepped back, her wide eyes filled with innocent bewilderment."No, no! No!"She blurted out the denial, then bolted into the bathroom, slammed the door shut, and started washing her face and taking a shower.Chloe Bishop stood outside the door, an amused smile playing on her lips.She knew that feeling all too well.Back when she'd had a crush on Liam, she'd been just as clueless.Thinking she wasn't good enough here, not pretty enough there—like there was nothing about her worthy of him.But luckily, she'd had confidence.Otherwise, how could she have ever ended up chasing down someone as formidable as Xavier?With a soft sigh, she sat down on the stool, looked

    Xavier Grayson took a call from Mia and chatted for a while.After hanging up, he looked over at Chloe Bishop."Dad and your grandparents came by today. They left when they saw we weren't here."Chloe Bishop stepped out, towel-drying her wet hair. "Oh? I'll give Dad a call later—he must be worried about us."Xavier Grayson walked over, took the towel from her, and gently dried her hair."We'll head back once we've wrapped things up here. Adrian is probably missing Lily by now."At the thought of how tender Adrian Grayson was with little Lily Bishop, they both smiled."I'm really happy to see them getting along so well. By the way—should we go to Rick's school festival? She's part of the academy now, and it might be nice for us to show up and support her."Xavier Grayson didn't mind either way.Eagle Enterprises had Finch holding things down. If Noah ran into any issues, he could always ask Caesor. There was nothing back home that needed his immediate attention.What mattered more was

    Sensing something off in Vincent's tone, she looked at him with a hint of suspicion.She shook her head. "What's wrong? Did I say something I shouldn't have?"Vincent pressed his lips together as he looked at her.His expression was deadly serious.At that moment, a ray of light fell across his face, and Anna found herself staring.Vincent had delicate, refined features—reserved and cool, with eyes that sparkled like stars. When he fixed his gaze on you, it felt like staring into a deep, unfathomable spring.Anna gazed at him dreamily. "Vincent, has anyone ever told you you're really handsome?"Vincent's foot slipped on the pedal, and the car jolted. Caught off guard, Anna lurched forward—only to be yanked back by her seatbelt, which dug painfully into her shoulder."Ow! That hurt! What are you doing?"She turned back fuming—but froze, eyes widening, as she caught sight of his reddened cheeks and pink-tipped ears.Even though his bangs partially hid his eyes and face, the blush was un

    “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
