We can't afford a single mistake!""Yes, sir!"Mr. Kurt crossed his arms, eyes gleaming with ambition."This time, let’s see how we crush those two old families.

    Briella lowered her eyes. The simple sentence hit Diego like a bolt of lightning.His grip on her hand tightened fiercely.He had always known she was somehow involved in the 911 explosion—but he never expected she’d been that close to dying herself.“Briella…”He’d been investigating 911 for so long. And now… he wasn’t even sure he wanted to know the truth anymore.He moved, sitting on the edge of the bed and pulling her into his arms.“Tell me,” he said softly.“My teacher was one of the most brilliant researchers I’ve ever known. My senior was just as talented—she would’ve been just like her. But that day… the lab exploded. I knew something felt off. I noticed it, I swear! But I still left the lab…‘Why?

    Briella froze. “What…?”“The purge back in Avenlith was too brutal,” the old man said, voice heavy. “I don’t want that tragedy to repeat itself. We may have never met formally, but I’ve heard your music. There’s strength in it. Freedom. A pursuit of something deeply personal. That’s why I believe in you. Stop all of this. Child…”Before he could finish, the President suddenly twisted around and grabbed the old man’s hand, yanking it back hard.“Uncle, why are you betraying the Yale family now?!”The President’s usual calm facade cracked, his voice tinged with frustration and disbelief.The old man gave a soft chuckle. “It’s not sudden. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time—ever since Luna revealed her identity. She’s her daughter. Her mother’s legacy… it’s only right she’s the one to carry it

    “Mommy, why is your face so red?”Moa tugged on Briella’s hand, eyes full of curiosity.She instinctively touched her cheek. “Is it?”“It is!”“Alright, alright. You two go in and keep your... daddy company, okay? But don’t disturb him—he still needs to rest.”The moment she finished, Briella turned on her heel and quickly walked away.Her retreating figure gave off a definite running-for-her-life vibe.Moa covered his mouth, giggling. “Hehehe... Mommy’s totally admitting it now! Uncle Diego is definitely Daddy!”“I knew she couldn’t keep it a secret for long.” Koa crossed his arms smugly, like he saw it coming a mile away.Mason: “???”Seneca: “!!!”“No freaking way&mdash

    “WildMoon?”Saxon clearly froze for a second. “You’re… WildMoon?”Philip tossed the pendant in his hand over to her. “Don’t I look like him?”She caught it instinctively and glanced down, her heart skipping a beat.Why now? What happened?She looked around. The others nearby looked restless, clearly curious.The moment they met her eyes, they quickly dropped their heads and busied themselves with whatever they were doing.Saxon masked her emotions, then looked back at him. “Come inside with me.”Philip followed her upstairs.Saxon opened the door to her office and walked behind her desk, finally dropping her usual facade.
