Marvin Saunders, Sam’s father, promptly snapped at him. His tone was severe as he said, "Watch your language! You're talking to your own brother here!""It's alright," Ryan said nonchalantly. "Sam's always been like that. Even after all these years, he never changed.""You're the pride of our parents. No matter how I change, I'd always be less than you," Sam retorted self-deprecatingly. "Anyway, it's rare for the family to gather, so take your time to catch up. My friends are over there, so I'm going.""Sam!" Marvin huffed despite his rage. Still, he wasn’t really going to lash out in front of so many guests.There was no question they shared the same parents, but the brothers were completely different. Ryan had always been smart and understanding, never giving anyone a reason to worry. The only time he rebelled was when he left Saunderia to pursue a career in scientific research. Lindsay and Marvin had been reluctant, but they were reluctant to stop him from fulfilling his ambitio

It was very late in the night when Sam finally returned home, the stench of alcohol swirling around him.However, he opened his room to find Quinn sitting there, waiting for him.He checked the time—twice, but it was definitely 2:30am, and he even had to send a drunken Jay home before coming back.So what was Quinn doing here, instead of sleeping in her own room?!She was an early riser just like his parents, which was why they slept in different rooms.Their parents forbade it at first, but he returned so late that Quinn's sleep cycle was severely affected, so they had to give in.In their parents' eyes, he was a lost cause; they could never hope for him to change."Did you have the wrong room?" Sam scoffed, raising a brow and sneering. "My brother's room is next door."Quinn's face dropped, but she quickly hid it.His mouth had always been that foul, so there was nothing to get upset about.She remained there, and Sam frowned in turn. "Aren't you going to move?" Snorting,

Quinn was left staring at Ryan, unable to react.He continued to explain, "My superiors also arranged it so that I could stay at North City indefinitely, so I won't be going abroad. I might be traveling to the headquarters in the capital occasionally, though.""That's good. You'd be working close from home," Quinn replied with a small smile."I…""It's late, Ryan. Get some rest," she said softly. "...Okay," Ryan murmured, refraining from saying what he intended to say. Quinn returned to her bed, but she couldn’t sleep despite her fatigue.All sorts of messy thoughts would appear in her mind even if she closed her eyes, leaving her annoyed. She hence stared at the ceiling until daybreak, and washed up to go to work like she usually did.The rest of the family were at the dining table and having breakfast. Syd Collins, the girl Ryan had brought along was, there with them, but Sam wasn’t since he usually woke up past noon. "I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding. I thought

In the four-man chat group, Bob suddenly sent a text that read: [Why did my girlfriend do this…]He went into elaborate detail, but deleted it in less than text seconds—he was going to send it to Sam, but his fingers slipped!Sam saw it anyway, and promptly replied in the chat group: [What's the point of deleting it, Bob? I already saw it.]Bob didn’t reply, and instead added: [And what else could the point be? To scorn you.] He even pinged Bob multiple times, leaving Bob speechless.Bob in turn texted Sam privately: [It's just a mistake! Could you stop spamming the chat group?!][Oh, so you just wanted to save face?]Speechless, Bob decided to admit: [It's just…things haven't gone that far with me and my girlfriend.][For real?! No way! What are you, a virgin? You're an adult—not a high-schooler!][You don't understand our love. Do you think everyone thinks with their balls like you?][The point is she's hinting at you to get to it, you monster.][You told me that chicks h

Quinn’s tears trickled down her cheeks and landed gently on the floor. She didn’t remember how long it had been since she cried—she had become accepting of many things as she aged.That was certainly the case when she remained nonchalant, despite Sam throwing her out of his room.But at that very moment, the sense of humiliation cut her to the quick; she was overwhelmed endlessly by the disgrace and denial of dignity.She really, really hated Sam… She hated him ever since they were children! -Jay was woken up by a call, asking to confirm a filming session later that day.His career hadn’t been affected much despite his departure from the Levine family—they were certainly much nicer to him than Zoe ever was.Still, he couldn’t fall asleep after being woken, and he felt a throbbing headache that hurt terribly.Alcohol was terrible. Period. It couldn't even help you forget your pain. In fact, it made the agony worse! He lay in bed and checked the group chat, and saw Bob an
