Inside the room, the woman sat on the sofa, her long, shiny black hair cascading like a waterfall over her shoulders.

She was dressed simply—light blue jeans, a plain white T-shirt, and a pair of white sneakers.

Thanks to her natural beauty, even this basic outfit didn’t make her look cheap. Instead, it added a fresh and youthful vibe to her.

The woman sat quietly on the sofa, tilting her head slightly to look out the window.

Dr. Wale stood not far to the side, stroking his chin and frowning as he observed her.

After a while, the silence became unbearable. Feeling awkward, Dr. Wale was the first to speak.

“Ahem!” He cleared his throat and asked with a forced smile, “Miss, can you tell me your name now?”

The woman turned her head toward him upon hearing his voice.

Her eyes were clear and calm, with no ripple of emotion. “I already told you. I’m here to see Xavier. Once he’s h

  • The Art of Revenge   Surprise

    It was already dark out. If she was thrown out now, where could she go?Not to mention, she was burning with fever and had no strength left in her body.If she spent the night sleeping on the roadside, the cold night air and dampness could make her even worse.She couldn't afford to be sick—she still had to save money for her father's medical treatment!Just as Dara was about to completely lose hope, a lazy, magnetic voice suddenly rang out beside her.“Well well, Miss Carter, where are you off to?”The pain on her scalp suddenly lightened. Karina quickly let go, switching to a sweet and syrupy tone.“Xavier! What a surprise! You’re here so early!”Xavier lowered his eyes lazily, glancing at Dara, who sat bleeding on the floor. Without showing much emotion, he replied, “I had nothing else to do, so I thought I’d come by early to visit Auntie Carter.”Then he casually pointed to the flo

  • The Art of Revenge   Cruel

    A few minutes later, as she looked at the conversation on her phone screen, a blissful smile spread across her face.Downstairs, the place bustled with activity. Servants moved quickly and efficiently through the space.Mrs. Carter stood at the kitchen entrance, raising her hand to direct the chefs and maids.Karina walked over and called out playfully, “Mom!”Mrs. Carter turned around at the sound, then smiled. “Karina, did you talk to your dad?”“Mhm! He agreed. He and Uncle Blaze are already on the way—should be here in just over half an hour.”“That soon?!” Mrs. Carter’s expression tightened. She quickly pointed toward the living room sofas. “Go sit over there and rest. Keep an eye on them cleaning up, and I’ll handle the food prep. Make sure they move fast—we’re running out of time.”“Okay!” Karina nodded and walked over to the s

  • The Art of Revenge   Sudden Visit

    As soon as the words left his lips, he gave her no chance to resist. His thin lips once again locked onto her soft ones and kissed her deeply.At first, Serena struggled.But gradually, as the room's temperature rose and her willpower faded, she fell into the tender embrace, sinking with him into this whirlpool of passion.A sudden noise—the sound of the door opening—shattered the intimate moment inside.Facing the door, Serena opened her eyes and immediately locked eyes with someone standing at the entrance, completely stunned.Xavier reluctantly pulled away from her soft lips, turned with an impatient look, and shot an icy glare at the intruder. He snapped, “Ever heard of knocking before entering?!”Dr. Wale immediately lowered his head and stammered nervously, “S-sorry, Young Master! I... I couldn't find you anywhere and panicked, so I…”Xavier turned back and discreetly shielded Serena be

  • The Art of Revenge   Leaving

    Hearing footsteps approaching, Celia looked expectantly toward the door.But only Christan came back.Her face fell, and she asked unhappily, “Christan, where’s Xavier?!”“He had something to do, so he left first,” Christan replied calmly.“But… he didn’t say he had something to do when you both went out,” Celia mumbled in disappointment.She thought for a moment, then frowned. “Did you say something unpleasant that made Xavier angry?”Christan sighed helplessly. “Between me and him, who’s your real brother, huh? Really, girls grow up and just forget their families. You’re not even with him, and already you’re taking his side.”“That’s not what I meant!” Celia said quietly. “It’s just… it’s so rare that I get to see Xavier.”“I’ve told you before. Xavier isn’t right

  • The Art of Revenge   A Deal

    Celia’s lovestruck expression was so ridiculous that even Christan couldn’t bear to watch anymore.He walked up, frowning. “Celia, you’ve just woken up and are still very weak. Rest a little more. Xavier and I will step outside to have a quick chat.”“Huh?!” Celia pouted and mumbled reluctantly, “Christan, if you want to say something to Xavier, just say it here! I… I don’t want to rest. I want to spend more time with Xavier!”Grinding his teeth, Christan sneered inwardly.Silly sister, you don’t even know—the real reason behind your suicide attempt is this very man you admire so much.The way you’re acting now, it’s like being sold off and still helping the seller count the money!Xavier curled his lips and said coolly, “You’d better listen to your brother and get some rest. What we’re going to talk about is between

    Just then, footsteps approached the door.Xavier pushed it open and entered.When Mrs. Ryder saw him, her expression still carried gratitude. “Xavier, you’re here.”“Auntie,” Xavier greeted politely with a smile. “How is Celia?”Mrs. Ryder glanced at her daughter lying on the bed, her face full of worry. “She still hasn’t woken up.”Xavier looked at Celia briefly before saying, “Don’t worry. I spoke with the attending physician—Celia is not in any life-threatening danger. She may sleep a while longer, but she should wake up soon. Why don’t you go rest in the lounge for a bit? Christan and I can stay here with her.”“No, no need,” Mrs. Ryder immediately waved her hand. “I want to stay with Celia until she wakes up!”“Mom,” Christan chimed in from behind, “please listen to Xavier and get some rest.
