Chapter 1737

Penulis: Cozy Season
Shelia seemed to want a cue from Debra.

To repay her, Debra had promised to pull some strings and get her into Arcane Academy.

Shelia stared at her, full of hope. Debra, however, simply popped the cake box open. "I don't do dairy. You guys split it."

Shelia froze, and her face crumpled. "What's wrong? Did I mess up? Sorry. I should've asked what you like."

Debra picked up the bracelet. The diamonds sparkled, but something felt off.

"Cake's a pass," she said. "Cheap cream's not my thing, but you should return my bracelet."

"Cheap cream?" The heiress scowled, ready to trash the cake.

A classmate piped up, skeptical. "You're not the daughter of the Miles family?"

"I never said I was," Shelia mumbled, biting her lip. "But Debra and I are tight. You said it, Debra. We're besties forever."

"Is she really your friend?" a classmate asked, doubting. "You'd hang with someone like her?"

Debra was the class star, with top grades and a bubbly vibe. She was Seamar City's golden girl and th

    Unimpressed, Debra kicked the bodyguard in the backside. "So, you just grabbed two high school kids? Didn't even bother to ask questions? What if you got the wrong people?"The bodyguard rubbed his sore rear. "Ma'am, these two punks were scrapping like pros. It looked shady to me. Better detain and grill them.""Grill them? You think this is some overseas black site? You've been hanging with Marion for too long, ready to interrogate anyone who crosses your path," Debra sulked.Randy descended from the executive office upstairs. He looked like he'd pulled several all-nighters. His face was haggard, with dark circles under his eyes.Solomon saw him and blurted, "Dad?""Huh?" Randy froze.Erica, hot on his heels, grabbed his ear. Her tone dripped with suspicion. "Dad?""Hold up! I don't even know this guy." He pointed frantically at Solomon. "You're some Illuminati plant, aren't you? Do we look alike at all? You're talking nonsense."Debra glanced at Solomon, then back at Randy. T

    Their tough attitude surprised me but allowed me to get a glimpse of my family's past.These weren't the roughnecks I knew."Lock them up," Ben said flatly."Yes, sir." The guards quickly grabbed us.I tensed, realizing that if we let them cage us, we were done for. I exchanged a look with Solomon, and we leaped into action.We'd only let them catch us so we could see our parents. Since that wasn't happening, we were not going down without a fight.Ben paused, finding our moves familiar.As we duked it out, a woman's voice cut through. "Stop!"It was clear and crisp, with an edge that demanded respect.I spun around, and there stood my mom. She wore a bold red dress, her hair loose to her waist. Her makeup was flawless.She looked way younger than I remembered. For a moment, I was amazed by her vibrance.Lost in awe, I didn't see a fist coming. Solomon yanked me back just in time, or I'd have lost a couple of teeth."Didn't you hear me? I said stop," Debra snapped, her gaze

    I used to think the adults were just hyping up their glory days.They made the Illuminati sound like this big, scary force. But after meeting Stanley, I figured the Illuminati was overrated.Solomon noticed people staring at us. Some were reading newspapers, and others sipping coffee or chatting. Their behavior was creepy, and their gazes were sharp.Solomon sensed the tension, suspecting that they were onto us."Run!" he yelled, grabbing my arm.Before I could react, he dragged me away. Those "normal" customers immediately dropped their props and chased us."Why are they after us?" I shouted."What do you think? We were lurking outside their company," Randy replied."Lurking? We just stayed there for a minute."I didn't expect the situation to be so tense. Any hint of trouble set them off."Stop!" A man around 30 blocked our path.His gear was something I couldn't be more familiar with. He must be on my dad's crew.Solomon shot me a look, signaling we'd have to fight our w

    "Where did they live back then? Same place?" I muttered, curious.Solomon mused, "My folks said the four families' old estates never changed. Should be the same.""Then what are we waiting for? Let's go.""How? You know the way?"My excitement fizzled because I was totally lost.The future Seamar City was all skyscrapers and tech. This one? Still tall buildings, but the streets were different. Only a few old structures looked familiar."Now what? Uber? This era has got Uber, right?" I said."With what?" Randy asked."If this is a dream, can't we control it with our minds?""You mean, lucid dreaming?""Yeah, why not?""Worth a shot, but it might be risky."Controlling dreams was tricky, especially in this weird shared one.We tried standing still, focusing, but nothing happened. Lucid dreaming didn't work here.I gave up. "Let's just walk. We'll find it."We trekked along, following fuzzy memories. Luckily, we were downtown.We didn't find our homes, but we spotted the M

    That night, Jordan got plastered.Solomon and I swiped a strange bottle of potion from him.Back home, we debated how to use it. I figured we should drink it. Solomon thought it was too sketchy and might be just a scented oil.We argued, neither budging. So, we settled it with rock-paper-scissors.No surprise, I won. Solomon had to go along.We each took a swig. It tasted weird but not awful."Feel anything?" I asked."Nope. You?" he said."Nothing," I replied.He shook his head. "Told you we should've used it as aromatherapy."Then, sleepiness hit hard.Before passing out, I muttered, "Damn it! Nobody said this was a sleeping pill."My head hit the pillow, and I had a bizarre dream.It was Seamar City 20 years ago. The city was bustling, but the buildings felt retro.Weirdly, Solomon was there with me."Are we dreaming?" I asked, marveling at the scene.He frowned. "Why am I dreaming with you? This is freaky.""Who cares? This place is cool," I said, amazed by the eff

  • Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right   Chapter 1954

    I wasn't big on talking, especially about the past.Three people shaped my life: Marion, Drake, and Theda. The first two gave me a second chance at life. Theda gave me a new one.At first, I stuck with Theda to survive. I played on her soft side, securing a spot in the countryside to heal.Those tough days showed me how much grit it took for her to keep me around. But she wasn't one to whine about hardships.Theda was cold and calculating. She was a natural-born capitalist.Her motto? Suffer to rise. If she got wet, she'd tear everyone else's umbrella.She didn't care about others' pain. It wasn't her problem.She saved me not out of pity, but because I was a useful labor.Later, I learned she lied.She didn't want kids because she feared pain. I thought it was fine, even imagining that men could conceive, since my only perks were taking pain and being tough.We didn't marry at first because I had no ID.I'd wandered overseas as a kid and remained nameless in Wrastow City.
