Leif was driving when he said, “Lucas’s dead.”

The tires rolled over the road, crushing a layer of dry leaves beneath them.

Raina was holding her phone and had just received the same news — the screen quietly displayed a single line: Lucas Hale is dead.

Lucas had been seriously ill for a long time, but he wasn’t supposed to die this soon. After all, last time Raina had even asked Briar to check on him. With Briar’s medical skills, he could have held on for another few months at least.

Raina frowned slightly. “How did he die?”

Leif answered, “VIREXIN.”

Raina paused for a moment, but she already understood what was going on. Lucas probably couldn’t wait for the VIREXIN to be officially released, so he got it early from Mireille and took it himself.

The VIREXIN was poisonous by nature, and with his fragile, failing body, there was no way he could handle its toxicity.

Raina sighed softly. “He brought it on himself. No one to blame but him. But…”

Leif glanced at her and asked, “But what?”

  • Jilted Heiress Strikes Back   Fake Agreement

    As Mireille finished speaking, the huge screen behind them switched—the bloody, crazy video disappeared, replaced by a photo of a document.The cover clearly read in big letters: Company Transfer Agreement.At the end of the document was Raina’s own handwritten signature, agreeing to transfer the company to Mireille for free.The whole room erupted in shocked whispers.“What the—what’s going on here?!”“Who’s actually framing who? Could that video really be fake?”“No way… photos can be faked, but videos? That’s gotta be real… right?!”“Hard to say. Who says videos can’t be faked? They can be edited, you know? And honestly, Mireille doesn’t seem crazy enough to do something that messed up…”The mood in the room shifted again.Mireille seized the moment, putting on a look of quiet suffering and hurt as she said, “Sis, I know you’ve been bitter ever since Dad handed the company to me, but... we’re family, after all. No matter whose name the company’s under, it’s still the same. No matte

    “Wait—sister?! That ugly, useless Raina from the Carrington family actually showed up? Man!”“Raina got disfigured, right? Didn’t she run off abroad and hide? And now she’s back, daring to show her face again?!”“Back in the day, Raina was something else—stunning, brilliant, the cream of the crop. After she took the crown as the city’s top socialite, there were even rumors she was going to marry Reid, the young master of Lystra. She was living the dream. But then—”“But what’s the point of that? She messed up her own life, got disfigured by her own mother, got pregnant before marriage, and betrayed Reid. Someone like her doesn’t deserve anything!”The crowd’s tone instantly flipped.They were full of malice, speaking as if they’d all lived through that scandal firsthand—like if they didn’t vent their outrage at Raina, they’d be betraying someone.Everyone was turning against her.On stage, Mireille watched their reaction with satisfaction, as if she’d just won a huge battle. For the f

    “Excuse me… sir, why can’t VIREXIN be released? Isn’t that the miracle drug developed by Vireon Lab?”“Yeah, you can’t just say it can’t be released without proof. And aren’t those pills your product? Vireon Lab’s reputation is on the line here…”“A lot of people are waiting on this medicine to save their lives. You gotta be responsible with what you say!”“That’s nonsense — aren’t you just putting people in danger?”Then someone shouted loudly, “Who’s putting people in danger?! We’re trying to save them!”A few others nearby whispered, “Yeah, we’re not harming anyone. We’re trying to save lives… VIREXINs failed the clinical trials. They didn’t pass.”“We didn’t do anything wrong! Why won’t you listen to us?”“Just ignore them. We didn’t cause any harm. Why should we have to take the blame for this?”Keith got furious. “Carl, what kind of nonsense is that? We didn’t cause harm, sure — but we can’t just stand by and do nothing! Mr. Shaw just died, and at a time like this, you want to b

    “What?! They’re removing Jasper’s position as CEO?”“Has Mireille gone crazy? How can she say something so arrogant! What gives her the right?!”“Jasper can’t be stupid—he’s just sitting there motionless... This can’t be real, can it? The Hale Group changing hands? What’s going on?!”“I knew there would be big news today, but I didn’t expect such a huge bomb. Where’s Lucas? Isn’t he going to do anything?”“The Hale family is about to undergo a major upheaval...”The crowd below erupted in whispers, their voices swelling like a wave that almost drowned out the speakers on stage.After a long moment, Jasper finally snapped out of his shock and fury. He slammed his palm hard onto the table, shattering a teacup in front of him, and roared, “Mireille! What nonsense are you spouting?! Have you lost your mind? On what grounds are you taking over the Hale Group?! The Hale Group belongs to our Hale family! Grandpa—”Mireille stood there calmly. Whether it was just an illusion, a faint trace of

    One person laughed heartily and replied, "Heehee, what else could she want?! Of course she wants Mr. Hale’s money. Otherwise, do you really think she truly loves that playboy?""The Hale Group is the most likely to become the fifth great family. The Carrington family’s little bit of wealth is just small potatoes compared to the Hale family.""Isn’t VIREXIN about to be announced for listing? I heard this medicine is miraculous — bringing the dead back to life — is that for real?!""There’s no such miraculous thing in the world! Bringing the dead back? If it were really that powerful, Mireille wouldn’t need to go through the Hale Group; she’d just release it solo.""There’s probably deeper intrigue here than you think..."That last comment was actually quite accurate.At this moment, on the lavishly sparkling stage, Mireille and Jasper along with others were already seated. The host confidently and calmly took the microphone and began the opening remarks.Raina looked up toward the stag

  • Jilted Heiress Strikes Back   Before the Launch

    She wouldn’t have said things like this before.“No more of this,” no one can truly make such a promise. After everything she’d been through, she knew very well that many things couldn’t be changed by her alone, nor could she simply will them away. She’d heard far too many empty words and excuses like “I didn’t mean it” or “I’m helpless.”But in a situation like this, only these words could calm the people’s restless hearts.Even if they didn’t fully believe her, this was all she could say, all she could do.It sounded weak and weary, but it was the truth.One person’s eyes reddened as they choked back tears: “...Alright, that’s good. Really... sob.”Another couldn’t hold back any longer, collapsing onto the floor like a child, wailing loudly, “I’ve really had enough. Enough... I just want to go home. I miss my parents so much...”It took a long time before their emotions gradually settled.One person, still with red eyes, asked, “Miss, we don’t know why you called us here today, is i
