Serena let out a dry laugh. “What do you think?”
“You told me you’d never have anything to do with him again, but… Gaius is his father…”
“Stop overthinking. I just want to know if his death had anything to do with my dad.”
“But a few days ago, I offered to look into it for you, and you said no. What changed?”
“I…”
Serena recalled the strange reaction her mother had when she mentioned Gaius and Dr. Beckett. Her brows furrowed tightly.
“I’ve run into some odd people lately—and some even odder situations. I think it’s time I figured out what really happened back then.”
“Odd people and situations?” Xavier lounged on his extra-wide luxury hospit

The Art of Revenge Tigress
A black Jeep drove down the main road of Vernon.The driver held it in as long as he could, then finally blurted out in a low voice, “Boss, after what happened last time, you should know by now—this woman is not easy to mess with. Push her too far, and she really will call the cops! You’re a public figure. Getting involved with someone like her won’t do you any good.”“Did I say I wanted to get involved with her?” Christan smiled faintly, but his eyes were deep and unreadable.The driver kept his eyes on the road. “You didn’t say it, no. But we just got burned by her this morning, and yet here we are again this afternoon. Why come back?”Then, muttering under his breath, “I think I just saw her car. She sped up when she passed us. Clearly wants nothing to do with us.”Christan's smile widened. “Yeah, I saw her too.”“Then you must&rsqu

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
