“Moa!”

“Ah! Mommy, I’m sorry! I won’t do it again!” Moa peeked out from behind the chair, her little head popping up as she pleaded for mercy—though her face was lit up with a cheeky grin.

Briella pulled the chair aside, scooping her up into her arms with a mock stern look. “If you do that again, I’m shipping you back to Cordavia!”

Moa knew she was just teasing and wasn’t scared at all. She pouted dramatically but clearly didn’t take her seriously.

Koa sat calmly on the sofa, flipping through the channels until he landed on the science channel. A documentary titled ‘The Origin of Mankind’ was currently playing.

Briella: “…”

She put Moa down and frowned. “Koa, can’t you watch something… normal?”

Koa blinked his big innocent eyes. “Isn’t this normal? It’s science!”

Briella fell silent. Sure, it was scientific, but darling, you’re still just a kid! This kind of thing is not for your age—you’re giving Mommy an existential crisis here!

She carefully chose her words. “You’re still little. W

    After speaking, he turned and got into the car. The hem of his black coat fluttered slightly as the door closed.In the blink of an eye, dozens of bodyguards had gotten into their cars.The black motorcade vanished instantly.Briella could no longer hold on. She braced herself on the ground, half-kneeling.Sweat beaded faintly on her forehead, her eyes bloodshot.The lingering fear hadn't left her. Her whole body trembled uncontrollably.That familiar fear once again drowned her senses. Though it had only been a few minutes, it felt like a lifetime had passed.A chilly mountain breeze swept through the area, carrying with it a faint trace of blood in the air.The eldest bodyguard helped Briella up, concern etched on his face. “Miss, are you alright? Are you hurt?”Briella used his support to stand, her voice weak and exhausted.But her gaze was sharp and fierce.“I’m fine. Clean up those bodies and send them back!”Inside the extended Rolls-Royce.Diego rested his elegant hand against

  • Oops! The CEO's Ex is a Secret Genius   Sudden Visit

    Nightfall.“Ugh—!”A sudden, stabbing pain shot through Briella’s chest, catching her completely off guard.The pen slipped from her fingers as her body folded over the desk. It took her a long moment to regain her bearings.Perplexed, Briella frowned. As a doctor, she knew her body well. She was perfectly healthy.So why now...?She shook her head, trying to laugh it off. ‘Maybe I’ve just been overworked lately?’But she knew better—she’d endured far worse without so much as a headache.Before she could analyze it further, her phone, facedown on the table, began to vibrate.Setting the pain aside for now, she picked it up and saw a string of numbers flash across the screen.“What’s wrong?” she asked coolly.“Miss, we’ve detected a group approaching from three kilometers out. Shall we intercept them now?”Her brows arched slightly in surprise. Tapping her pen thoughtfully against the desk, her eyes shimmered with anticipation.“No need. It’s been a while since I’ve had a little fun. S

    Inside the laboratory.Briella’s eyes curved with delight, the smile behind her goggles impossible to hide.The cold white light from above hit her profile, outlining her features in perfect detail.A faint layer of peach fuzz could just be seen on her fair cheeks.“Didn’t expect Sample No. 1 to be completed this quickly—everything went so smoothly.”The test tube in her hand emitted a soft blue glow, containing a few tiny, scattered pill.In the monitoring room next door, Preston watched her every move through the screen.Seeing this, he couldn’t help but feel excited and pressed the green button on the console.“Skye, this is incredible. I’ll schedule a private jet to deliver it to Cordavia first thing tomorrow.”Briella nodded toward the surveillance camera on the ceiling and carefully placed the test tube into the storage container.She turned and entered the sterilization room to change clothes.As she opened the glass door, Preston was already standing there, smiling.“Skye, you

  • Oops! The CEO's Ex is a Secret Genius   Silent Storm

    Briella returned to the villa feeling utterly drained, her body heavy, her mind foggy.As soon as she stepped into the study, she hurried to sign and stamp the documents, slipping them into her bag. She planned to hand them to Preston tomorrow so he could pass them along to the Ministry of Defense the day after.Once everything was in order, she curled up on the couch to rest for a bit—only to fall into a deep, dreamless sleep.…Nash walked out of his office, newly approved files in hand.Right outside, he nearly bumped into Yoel.“Mr. Nilson.”Yoel reached out to pat Nash’s shoulder. “Nash, it’s after hours. No need for formalities.”Nash turned slightly, dodging the gesture.“Positions carry responsibilities. I still have documents to circulate. Mr. Nilson, I’ll take my leave.”Yoel chuckled, clearly unfazed—as if he had long since grown used to Nash’s demeanor.“Alright, go ahead.”Nash gave a polite bow and left.Yoel sighed. Nash hadn’t always been like this.He turned toward th

  • Oops! The CEO's Ex is a Secret Genius   Negotiation

    Early Morning.Silverpine Ridge was serene and lush, shrouded in white mist, evoking an otherworldly, almost immortal beauty.Unknown birds perched on grapevines, letting out the occasional chirp—crisp and clear.Briella lay on the large bed, her long, elegant hair spread across the pillow.The phone on her nightstand buzzed non-stop.Her brows twitched faintly. Slowly, she opened her eyes.Still half-asleep, her soft and delicate expression made her seem too tempting to resist bullying.She turned to pick up the phone, hugging her blanket as she lazily threatened,"Audrey, you'd better pray it's important. It's only eight in the morning—if this is nothing urgent, I swear I'm going to strangle you.""Uh..."Audrey paused, scratching her head guiltily. She had completely forgotten about the time difference."I just wanted to praise you a little! I asked Preston last night—after everything that happened, your name is bound to be all over Avenlith by now. Great job! Also, aren't you mee

  • Oops! The CEO's Ex is a Secret Genius   Social Strike

    Preston’s eyes flickered with amazement, briefly dazed. “Let Miss McKenna and I open the dance floor, shall we? Everyone, please relax and enjoy yourselves.” He quickly composed himself, stepping down from the stage and offering her a gentlemanly bow and outstretched hand.The music began to play.Briella nodded gracefully, her pale fingertips brushing across Preston’s palm before finally settling softly into his grasp.Together, they glided into the dance floor, moving in elegant sync with the music.After a while, Preston leaned in and whispered with a smile, “Skye, did you get the reaction you wanted?”Briella blinked playfully, clearly in a good mood. “Only half of it. The fire’s just getting started—how could I be satisfied?”“Alright. After this is over, I’ll introduce you to a few key figures, then take you to meet Paige.”Briella’s lips curved into a satisfied smile, so breathtaking it made heads turn.“Looks like Avenlith’s most beautiful woman might be dethroned tonight.
