News of the party reached Mrs. Jenkins quickly.She could hardly contain her glee as she turned to Kiera. “This is just too funny. Layla went through all that trouble to pull together a magazine just to win over Scarlett, and what did she get? Nothing! Scarlett got her moment in the spotlight and then turned on her like nothing ever happened.“She didn’t get a thing out of it. What a joke. She’s basically a laughingstock now.”Mrs. Jenkins was practically breathless from laughter, clearly enjoying herself.But Kiera frowned slightly. “How can you say she didn’t get anything out of it? That magazine laid a solid foundation. Anyone with eyes can see the kind of statement she’s trying to make. Not even A-list celebrities could’ve pulled this off.”“It’s just a magazine, for heaven’s sake.”Mrs. Jenkins’s smile faded. “Kiera, what’s going on with you lately? Why are you always defending that Layla girl?”“I’m just being objective,” Kiera said calmly. “I actually think her magazine i

Layla chose a quiet corner table and sat down. Once Gwen joined her, Layla casually pushed a slice of cake toward her. Gwen glanced at it but didn’t touch her fork. Meanwhile, Layla had already eaten more than half of hers, a contented smile tugging at her lips. She was clearly enjoying the taste.“Was this woman seriously here to enjoy dessert?” Gwen thought.She couldn't take it anymore. “Aren't you going to ask what I want to talk about?”“You're the one who asked me to talk. Shouldn't you be the one to bring it up?” Layla replied calmly.Gwen's expression darkened. “You’re unbelievably arrogant, Miss Xander.”The more relaxed Layla seemed, the more humiliated Gwen felt, like she wasn’t even being taken seriously.“You may have gotten lucky this time, dodging the online blackout, but luck doesn’t last forever. And so what if the magazine succeeded? Mrs. Lucas still hasn’t accepted you. Your attempt to win her over was a complete failure.”“Have you read the magazine?” Layla

In the deep of night, the first thunderstorm of early summer descended on North City. Lightning tore through the darkness, each flash followed by a rolling crash of thunder.Layla jolted awake. Her eyes flew open just as another streak of lightning split the sky outside her window. The curtains whipped violently in the wind, and the relentless sound of rain and thunder filled the room.She switched on the bedside lamp, the warm glow pushing away some of the darkness, grounding her in the present. After a moment to steady herself, she climbed out of bed to close the window. Through the glass, she stared into the black, storm-lashed night, but the chaos outside did nothing to calm the turmoil in her chest.She had a nightmare—a vivid, haunting memory of that storm she faced at eighteen.Lightning flashed again. For a brief moment, her reflection appeared on the glass—a blurry, disheveled silhouette. It looked so much like her eighteen-year-old self.A shiver ran down her spine. Layl

Wilfred looked past Felix’s outburst and met Layla’s gaze. “Until we have complete clarity on what happened, I hope you’ll agree to return him to us.”It was a diplomatic response—a mix of trust and doubt. He wasn’t outright accusing Layla, but he wasn’t comfortable with her group continuing to watch over Mr. Perry Sr. either.Layla understood the unspoken meaning. After a brief hesitation, she nodded. “Given the situation, we’ll need to leave a few people to keep an eye on Grandpa Perry.”“Leave people here? To make it easier for you to keep messing with him?” Felix sneered, his voice rising.“That’s fine,” Wilfred interrupted, silencing Felix with a sharp look.“Dad, you can’t be serious—” Felix started, but Wilfred’s warning glare forced him to swallow his complaints. He shot Layla a hateful look, but she didn’t even spare him a glance. She simply nodded at Wilfred. “Thank you.”With that, Layla and her group stepped away, leaving Wilfred’s family to get the details from Lev

The plane touched down around noon the next day.As Yuna stepped out of the terminal, she immediately spotted William and the others waiting for her. A smile tugged at her lips without her even realizing it.She had always been a loner, drifting from place to place with no fixed schedule, often disappearing without notice. Being picked up by a group was a new experience for her—one she found oddly refreshing.“Did it really take this many people to pick me up?” she teased as she approached, but the smile on her face gave away her true feelings.The once-awkward girl had grown into a poised young woman, her features now carrying a fresh, vibrant charm.Layla stepped forward with a bouquet in hand, offering it to Yuna with a grin. “You saved my life. Knowing you were coming to North City, how could I not personally welcome you? Otherwise, I’d be heartless.”Yuna accepted the flowers, taking a deep breath of their sweet fragrance. “Not bad. I’m officially someone who receives flower
