Lucian was about to take another swig when Paul snatched the glass out of his grip, spilling alcohol on their hands."You already have one foot in the grave. Stop drinking."Paul looked at the bartender and said, "Get him a glass of milk."The man looked up and swept a glance at him."You're acting like a woman in her mid-40s."Despite the comment, Lucian accepted the milk from the bartender and took a sip."I have something I need your help with."After Lucian explained his plan to Paul, the latter thought about it for a moment before suggesting, "Why not go with a beauty trap?"A beauty trap?There was undoubtedly a hidden agenda to Paul's dubious idea. Paul must've been trying to create conflict between him and Calista. It would allow Paul to step in. What a conniving bastard!"Thank you for helping me out. You've always been a true brother to me growing up. I can't believe you're going to such lengths for me. I owe you one.""Hah." Paul flashed him an insincere smile whi

Lucian stood by the window, his hair tousled by the cold wind of a March night. Yet he seemed unaware as he remained rooted to the spot. The unlit cigarette he held was deformed from his constant fidgeting.His usually meticulously ironed clothes now clung to him in a wrinkled state. It betrayed their considerable value. Upon closer inspection, there were dark, dried bloodstains on them.Yara had originally planned to meet Lucian at the airport today. But he was nowhere to be found when she arrived. As time was running out, she gave him a call only to learn that he was at the hospital.He had gone to get Calista a gift when he encountered a couple arguing. A wedding photo frame had been tossed down from the upper floors. Though it was merely from the third floor, it was angular and sharp. If it had hit someone on the head, it could've caused serious injuries or death.Cailyn also happened to be there by chance. She wasn't just standing around either. She had pushed Lucian out o

The next day, after the team competition concluded, it was time for the heated scoring session. The organizer began by announcing the results of the solo competition held the previous day.Although the results were available yesterday, they delayed the announcements to avoid affecting the participants' mental states.The tension that had gripped everyone for the past two days finally eased a bit. Calista rubbed her temples. She wasn't the only one who was tired. Everyone present looked exhausted.The restoration of cultural relics was inherently time-consuming. Some projects were so massive that they could take over a decade to complete. This competition not only required speed but also technical expertise. It wasn't easily completed.After a lengthy speech from the announcer to build up suspense, they finally announced what everyone had been waiting for.First, the third and second-placed competitors were announced. The suspense reached a crescendo. Even the two senior associat

Lucian always called on Timothy whenever he needed something dealt with. What difference was there between him and a dog?Timothy shrugged and gave Lucian a helpless look. He then went up to the front desk with his passport.Yara asked Calista, "Are you staying with me or a certain someone over there? I'm getting three rooms if you want to stay with him." Calista's eyes rolled to the back of her head when Lucian was mentioned. The receptionist recognized Calista as a guest of their hotel who participated in the competition."I'm sorry. We only have two rooms left available."Yara instantly turned her attention to Timothy and repeated the receptionist's words through gritted teeth."Two rooms left? Are you following the script of some kind of soap opera? You should change it up. What's the point of keeping two rooms vacant? To separate the men and the women? You should've kept one room vacant instead. Then nothing could go wrong."Of course, he would be a heartless lawyer with n

The incident where Cailyn saved him had been photographed and spread on the Internet. It had become a trending topic.With indifference being the norm in today's society, the authorities wanted to promote the act of selflessness. Thus, such incidents where someone rescued another often received extensive media coverage. Cailyn was also dubbed the "Most Beautiful Angel" on the Internet. People had even been spontaneously visiting her at the hospital."Ms. Everhart!" No one wanted to offend Lucian. So, the reporters turned their sights on Calista, who they saw as an easy target. "Were you aware that Ms. Webster saved Mr. Northwood? What is your opinion on Mr. Northwood's actions?""Did Mr. Northwood leave his savior unattended at the hospital to accompany you abroad, Ms. Everhart?""Ms. Everhart!"The questions bombarded them one after another, giving them no time to respond to any of them. Lucian kept Calista firmly shielded behind him and was silent as security guards escorted t
