Mentioning Poppy made Clint’s eyes flicker. The anger on his face vanished in an instant, replaced by that cold, unreadable look Serena knew all too well.

He strode to his desk, sat down, and casually picked up a document. On the surface, he looked focused — like he was deep into his work. But Serena could tell. He was using it as a shield.

After a few moments of silence, she narrowed her eyes and reminded him, “I asked for the divorce papers. Did you hear me?”

Without even looking up, he muttered, “There’s nothing here but business documents. I’m busy. We’ll talk at home.”

Talk at home. Again.

    On the other end, Xavier furrowed his sharp brows, his voice lowering. “Serena… you’re not doing this because of Clint, are you?”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   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

    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

    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
