Just as Serena stepped out of the Beckett Corp building, her phone suddenly rang—its ringtone muffled, echoing somewhere in her bag. Her heart skipped. Could it be Clint? Maybe he’d changed his mind… maybe he wanted her to come back and finalize the divorce after all.

She quickly fumbled through her bag, digging for her phone.

But by the time she found it, the call had already ended. Missed it.

Her screen lit up with a name—Xavier.

The moment she saw it, her breath hitched. Those words he once told her came rushing back: “I’ll give you my life if you want it!”

Her fingers tightened around the phone. Her pulse quickened. Should she call him back?

Before she could decide, the phone lit up again.

Xavier.

Ringing.

Serena took a deep breath, swiped to answer, and said sharply, “What do you want?”

“Where are you?” came that fam

  • The Art of Revenge   Investigation

    On the bed, the sheets were wrinkled and half-hanging off the side. The pillows and quilt were bunched up and tossed into a corner.Right in the center, a completely naked man lay sprawled out in a big ‘X’ shape, snoring loudly with his mouth wide open, sound asleep.There was a dried bloodstain on his temple.On the floor beside the bed, a beautiful woman was hastily pulling on her clothes with a flustered expression.Although Brody’s scolding wasn’t exactly quiet, it still failed to wake the sleeping man.The woman clutched the clothing she hadn't finished putting on against her chest, looking at the newcomers in panic. “I…”“Who exactly are you people?! This presidential suite isn’t your room—how did you end up here…?!”He didn’t finish the sentence, but everyone present understood the implication.The scene on the bed made everything painfully clear.Just moments ago, these two had clearly engaged in some very intense ‘action’ right there.At first, the woman lowered her head and

    The entire room fell silent in tacit agreement.A moment later, Christan asked in a low voice, “Then how did you manage to escape? Especially with both feet injured?”Thinking back to what had just happened, the fear in Serena’s heart slowly gave way to anger.She gritted her teeth. “That bastard tried to get close to me, of course I fought back! In that moment, I didn’t care about anything—I just grabbed whatever I could and threw it at him! Thank god, a small porcelain bottle hit him right on the forehead. He collapsed, and I took the chance to crawl out.”Even though her tone still carried anger, her expression had calmed considerably.After she finished, Vega’s eyes turned red. She couldn’t stop herself from expressing relief. “Oh my god, thank goodness you were lucky and managed to get away! If that scumbag hadn’t been hit, I can’t even imagine what might’ve happened

  • The Art of Revenge   Help

    In desperation, Serena grabbed whatever was within reach and started hurling it at him.The drunk dodged left and right, avoiding most of it.But his reflexes were dulled from alcohol—he couldn’t move fast enough.A ceramic ornament flew straight at him. He failed to dodge in time and took a solid hit to the forehead.It wasn’t big, but it was made of hard material. The impact sent his vision spinning, and with a heavy thud, he collapsed to the ground.Serena didn’t dare pause. Taking advantage of the moment, she dragged herself toward the door with all her might.From the doorway to the elevator was only a few dozen meters, but it took her nearly ten minutes to crawl that far.Leaning against the wall, she finally managed to press the elevator button. Every passing second felt like torture.At last, the elevator arrived on the 36th floor, and Serena scrambled inside like she&r

    As if electrocuted, she instantly pulled her hand back, then buried her face into Xavier’s chest in utter embarrassment, not daring to even lift her eyes.The man, on the other hand, let out a good-natured chuckle. “Serena, you’re even more irresistible when you’re shy.”The door opened, and he eagerly carried her inside the room, heading straight for the bedroom!Time seemed long, the distance short—an enchanting room, full of passion and intoxicating sights…...The next day, the hotel officially opened for business. As the acting CEO, Xavier had to leave early to be on-site at the operations department.Serena, for once, had a proper day off and allowed herself the rare luxury of sleeping in.Still drowsy, she didn’t know how much time had passed when she heard a knocking at the door.Xavier had a room card. If it were him, he wouldn’t need to knock!

    The feeling was unfamiliar and uncomfortable, like something dear was slipping away from him, and no matter how hard he reached for it, he couldn’t grasp it.Suddenly, a flash of light went off in his mind—Serena had mentioned his grandfather.His eyes narrowed. He quickly pulled out his phone, intending to call his grandfather to confirm whether or not he actually knew Serena, and if so, how they met.His finger hovered above the call button… but he hesitated.After thinking it over, he ended up just sending a text message instead....Outside Room 3204, the three chatted for a bit, but none of them could figure out what kind of tantrum Christan was throwing, so they temporarily excluded him from the discussion.Vega waved at Serena. “Serena, come hang out in my room for a bit!”Just as Serena was about to nod, a tall figure suddenly stepped in front of her.“She has

    “I...” Serena couldn’t help but take a step back. “I... don’t know him!”“Don’t know him?!” Staring at her face, he took out his phone from his pocket. “Should I video call my grandfather right now and ask him whether or not he knows you?!”“Uhh...”Serena pursed her lips, feeling a bit panicked inside.If he really made that video call, wouldn’t it immediately expose the fact that she just lied?!But if she stopped him from calling, then it would look even more suspicious!What should she do?!Just then, a familiar and comforting voice sounded like music to her ears: “Serena!”Serena quickly turned and looked toward the elevator.Xavier, dressed in a dark black suit and looking exceptionally handsome, was walking over.Serena silently let out a breath of relief and smiled as she went to greet him, “You’re h
