"Actually, the person I've been hiding in my heart, many people should know him."

"Oh?!" With her words, everyone's curiosity reached its peak.

At this moment, countless eyes were glued to the screen, waiting for Celia to announce who the person she had admired for years was.

"Beep!" The phone rang, pulling Serena back from her drowsy state.

She groggily searched for her phone.

The next moment, "Here!" A large hand proactively handed the phone to her.

Serena muttered, "Thanks!" and then reached out to take the phone.

"Hello, Vega!"

"Serena, where are you?!"

"At home! What's up?!"

On the other end of the phone, Vega, while staring at the screen, exclaimed, "Serena, quick, turn on the TV, there's some super explosive big news."

"What is it?!" Serena asked lazily, half-closing her eyes.

"You know Celia, right? She's the younger sister of the popular Christan Ryder. She's on the show revealing that there's a man she's been in l

  • The Art of Revenge   Strangely Connected

    Serena was pretty sure she had only told him her last name—Knowles. She never mentioned her full name.Dr. Beckett’s expression stiffened. He looked a bit awkward.After a moment, he replied, “I… actually knew your parents. When you were little, I used to play with you.”“What?! You knew my mom and dad?!”Serena tried to remember, but couldn’t recall her parents ever mentioning anyone with the last name Beckett—aside from her ex-husband.Dr. Beckett turned his eyes away, chuckling dryly. “It’s all in the past now. I haven’t been in touch with them for many years.”“But… it sounds like you guys were pretty close. So why did you suddenly lose contact?”A bunch of questions swirled in Serena’s mind. She stared at him, waiting for an answer.But Dr. Beckett didn’t want to get into it. He just paused and said, “If your

    The female doctor quickly stood up, her expression shifting from aggressive to pitiful. “Dr. Beckett, this patient knows she’s not actually sick but insists on taking up medical resources. I said a few words, and she started yelling at me.”Hearing this, Dr. Beckett finally turned his attention to Serena.Their eyes met. Serena couldn’t tell what he was thinking, but his expression darkened slightly, and his voice softened noticeably. “Hello, would you mind stepping outside with me for a moment?”The female doctor stomped her foot. “Dr. Beckett, she’s clearly here to make trouble! Why are you being so polite to her?”“Enough!” Dr. Beckett shot her a stern glare.Then he turned back to Serena, his voice gentle again. “Are your eyes bothering you?”Serena had always responded better to kindness than confrontation. If someone was rude to her, she could be even tougher

  • The Art of Revenge   Olive Branch

    Serena’s lips parted slightly, but she didn’t know how to explain it.She herself had no clue how it happened—how she suddenly seemed to possess some kind of supernatural ability, able to see through the outer layer of raw gemstones and clearly discern their internal structure.“What’s this? A secret technique you can’t talk about?” Mr. Bryan asked casually, his tone slow and deliberate as he noticed her hesitation.Serena let out an awkward laugh. “Uh… yep! Exactly! It’s a family secret. Can’t be shared!”“Ohhh…” Mr. Bryan stroked his beard thoughtfully but didn’t press any further.In the world of gemstones, there were indeed some unspoken rules. Some families had been in the gem appraisal business for generations. After centuries of refinement, they developed their own unique methods for evaluating stones. These techniques were their bread and butter&

  • The Art of Revenge   Gemstone

    The man turned slightly, glancing at her with a mix of curiosity and suspicion. “That stone could yield a flawless Paraíba core,” he said. “Even at two million dollars, it might still be a bargain.”“Please,” Serena said. “Trust me—don’t buy it.”He blinked. “You’re young. You don’t look like someone who’s spent decades in gemology. Why should I listen to you?”“Just this once,” she replied steadily. “Believe me. If it turns out I’m wrong—if there’s a flawless core in that stone—I’ll reimburse your bid. Every cent.”She wasn’t bluffing. The divorce settlement from Clint had left her with ten million. A few million? She could afford that.Something in her tone, her eyes, seemed to disarm him.He hesitated—then slowly lowered his paddle.Up on stage, the auctioneer raised his

  • The Art of Revenge   Call Me

    A low, restrained outburst rang out, and the group of girls turned around in disbelief.“Christan, she... she bullied you like that! We were just standing up for you, how could you still... take her side and yell at us?!”The girls looked utterly aggrieved.Christan lowered his voice and said, “The police are here. Watch what you say!”“But, that woman—”“That’s enough!” Serena waved a hand impatiently. “Girls, you need to learn some restraint! Look at him—he knows how to read the room and assess the situation! If he acted as brainlessly as you all just did, who knows how much trouble he'd get into in his circle?”The girls were even more indignant when they heard that.“What are you talking about?! We’re loyal fans of Christan! How could we ever cause trouble for him?!”“This isn’t causing trouble?” Serena lifted h

  • The Art of Revenge   Call The Cops

    Christan pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth, tilted his head, and gave her a look full of impatience. “I told you, I’ve seen plenty of tricks like yours. Drop the act!”“Hah.” Serena’s last ounce of patience vanished. She stepped into her car without another word.Bang! The car door slammed shut as she pulled it closed. She reached into the handbag on the passenger seat, grabbed her phone, and dialed 111.Outside the car, Christan watched her every move with cold eyes, sneering with a crooked grin. “Still putting on a show? With so many actresses in the entertainment industry, every single one of them could act better than you. Let’s see how long you’re planning to drag out this whole ‘hard to get’ routine.”Once the call was made, Serena rolled down the window. “Let me ask you one last time—are you going to move your car or not? If you move it now,
