Semua Bab Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother : Bab 771 - Bab 780

That evening, I shared the story with Zara over dinner, but she didn't seem surprised. She simply said that she never wanted anything to do with Chris again. It didn't matter to her who got punished or how severely. She was focused on serving the public now.Zara had found a job. She had a fifth-degree black belt in kickboxing and was a law graduate with excellent grades. She was hired by the city's police department for her impressive academic record, clean background, strong combat skills, sharp mind, quick reflexes, and high loyalty. After passing her probation period, she would become an official officer.Zara seemed slightly happier after finding a job. She smiled more often now and confidently said she would be the best officer. It looked like she was gradually forgetting the pain Chris had brought her.Soon, she would move on and start a new life like Queenie.However, I couldn't shake the feeling that Winston was interested in Zara. On the other hand, Zara seemed not only

There was now a wall between me and Felix. No matter what he did, he couldn't bridge the gap. Even if his worry was genuine and he was truly here for Colin's safety, it wouldn't ease my resentment toward him.Sitting next to him would just give me anxiety.I pulled a chair from the side and sat at the edge of the small rectangular table, placing myself between Professor King and Felix."Professor King, Colin has been out of contact for nine days. Do you know anything about his situation?" I sniffled. Tears began streaming down my face again."Don't worry. I'm here to talk to Professor King about Colin as well. "Professor King, we have no direct connections with the Taylor Group or any way to get any information. Besides, the college has been highly secretive. I reached out to them, and they assured me of Colin's safety but wouldn't divulge more. They claimed it was commercial confidentiality. "I've been keeping this from my parents, but they won't be in the dark for long. Colin

So, I wasn't disappointed. I only needed to wait three more days. Colin told me to trust him, so I'd wait for him for three days.Should there be no news from him in three days, I'd pack my bags and look for him myself. No matter how difficult it would be, I'd bring him back safely.After leaving Professor King's office, I hurried to the old campus because I wanted to tidy up the painting in Crystal House. Felix left with me, trailing behind me while keeping a small distance. He was quiet, as though he was taking a stroll in a park.Annoyed, I found him irritating for following me around."Don't worry. If someone has to go, it'll be me. You're a girl, and going there alone is too dangerous for you. There's already enough on the plate with Colin's matters. If anything were to happen to you as well, I'm worried that I won't have the attention to spare on you."Although I didn't want to, I had to admit that Felix had a point. I guessed Professor King also had the same idea, but I w

Sniffling, I rubbed my damp eyes and said, "Thanks, Professor King.""You don't look so well. Take care of yourself. If anything crops up and your help is needed, I'm afraid you can't handle it in your current condition.""I got it. I'll eat well when I get home."Professor King chuckled. "You're a funny one. Don't worry too much. I'll tell you the truth. If it's needed, I'll use my personal authority to ensure Colin's safety."His promise calmed my heart. With his help, Colin would be fine.…When I returned home, Zara wasn't home yet. In the afternoon, she sent me a text saying that the system had a closed training for new joiners, which would begin tomorrow. Today, she would be home later than usual because she had to help the bureau with headcount and stuff. I switched off the screen of my cell phone and paced into the kitchen to prepare dinner. After Andrew's careful training and my own observation, I had made tremendous progress in cooking. Besides scrambled eggs, I c

My heart shuddered. What did she mean by a special situation? Did she mean drunk, drugged, or hypnotized?I wondered if Queenie was truly my good friend. Why did she put a stake through my heart? I had been assuring myself that Colin would be fine, but here she came, sounding as though Colin would be in trouble. Was she here to comfort me or to make me more anxious?"I believe that Colin can control himself. As long as he's alive, he'll protect himself." Silently, I encouraged myself and also Colin.Whatever it was, I couldn't lose in morale. First, we would need to boost our morale before we had the confidence to take care of things afterward.Seeing how sure I was, Queenie kicked my calf in annoyance. "What makes you so sure?""Colin's love for me."For a moment, Queenie was dumbstruck. "Goodness! Lulu, why did you turn out like this after not seeing you for a mere few days? I don't think you're sure of the situation. Instead, you're just weak and useless!"Yes, she was righ
