Raina, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, carefully carried Leif in her arms, passing beneath light after light.

The lights were dazzling and resplendent.

Dozens of bodyguards in black automatically parted to create a path, staring unblinkingly at the two of them. No one knew who started it, but soon the crowd erupted into noisy discussion. Amid the murmurs, Raina caught fragments like ‘so strong,’ ‘accident,’ and ‘wedding gift.’

“What wedding gift? I’ve already picked names for Mr. Vexley and Mrs. Vexley’s second child…”

“Honestly, with how strong she is, I’m kind of tempted to become sworn siblings with her…”

“Sworn siblings? Keep dreaming! Mr. Vexley would chop you up first…”

“Mr. Vexley’s taste is truly one-of-a-kind—shocking, beyond belief, absolutely wild…”

Raina’s foot slipped a little—she nearly fell. Steadying herself with some effort and securing her grip on Leif, she whispered, “Sorry, did I bump your wound?”

Leif replied, “No.”

She coughed softly and said, “Hold on, the

  • Jilted Heiress Strikes Back   Don't You Remember?

    Leif didn’t respond. He pressed a hand to his ear, and only then did Raina notice that he had a small black earpiece in his left ear—almost imperceptible unless you looked closely. So yesterday, it was through this device that he had found his way onto the stage to save her? Soon, Leif lowered his hand. After a moment of silence, Raina finally heard him speak. He said, “Old Master Croft is dead.” Raina was stunned. She had only been suspicious of Old Master Croft’s long absence from the public eye. And based on some clues she’d received from Elias, she had guessed that Old Master Croft’s health might be failing. That was why she’d asked Briar to prepare a medicinal pill to be sent as a birthday gift. But after the chaos at the Croft residence last night, her gift had likely been buried among the offerings, never reaching Old Master Croft’s hands. She hadn’t expected that his condition was already that dire—that his life was hanging by a thread. Perhaps the sudden upheaval had e

    “Ah—!”Raina jolted awake from her nightmare with a gasp, clutching her chest. It took several deep breaths before her heart began to settle. Morning light was already streaming through the window—she’d overslept.A few minutes later, a knock sounded at the door. Knock knock.She froze for a moment, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, then got out of bed and opened the door.Standing there was Leif.He wore a loose robe, the sash barely tied—as if it could slip off at any moment. Tilting his head slightly, he asked, “Miss Carrington, are you alright?”That scream just now must’ve startled him.Rubbing her temple, Raina’s eyes drifted toward his feet—and paused. Though he looked calm and collected, his slippers were on the wrong feet.Her heart gave a little tug. She pictured him fumbling out of his room in a rush after hearing her scream, bumping into things along the way, even putting his shoes on backward without realizing it.Before she could answer, Leif’s voice hesitated with

  • Jilted Heiress Strikes Back   No Reason in This World

    Keegan's eyes glinted with malice as he shouted, "Yes! No one is born wanting to be a bad person—cough cough—if it weren’t for that useless Reegan pushing me to a dead end, if he hadn’t forced me to… to watch the woman I loved most be taken by him—cough cough cough—I wouldn’t have turned out like this. It’s all… all your fault!"He coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, overwhelmed by rage and turmoil. The hatred in his eyes burned more wildly than ever.For a moment, Old Master Croft didn’t know how to respond.Then, a cold voice rang out from the side. "You wanted revenge—fine. But why me?"Rayden slowly raised his head, eyes fixed on Keegan, teeth clenched. "Why did you come after me?!"Keegan let out a hollow laugh. Though his grip on Old Master Croft’s collar was slipping, he refused to let go."Still asking such a stupid question at this point? Nothing in this world has a perfect reason. But if you really want to know, I’ll tell you. I found out the truth about your background f

  • Jilted Heiress Strikes Back   A Monster Driven by Hatred

    Clang—The gleaming white blade clattered to the ground, accompanied by a splash of crimson. Leif’s hand, sliced open by the blade, was now fully exposed before Raina.The blade had been razor-sharp, and he had grabbed it barehanded. Keegan had struck with full force, showing no mercy. As a result, the gash across Leif’s palm was deep—flesh torn and bleeding profusely. Once the blade was removed, blood poured freely from the wound.Raina inhaled sharply and hurried to stop the bleeding. It wasn't until the blood slowed to a trickle that she finally spoke, her voice hoarse, as if she were on the verge of tears.She asked, “The wound… isn’t too deep, is it?”If it had gone just a little deeper, his hand might’ve been crippled.And if that blade had stabbed into her instead... even if she weren’t dead, the outcome would’ve been tragic.Leif’s eyes were bloodshot, yet his expression remained calm—as though the injury weren’t even his, as though he felt no pain at all. Seeing this, Raina s
