“Yeah...”"Why are you so calm?!" Vega shouted as she grabbed her hair and frantically ran her fingers through it. "It's Xavier! Xavier of the Blaze family! The one we know!""I know! I was watching TV just now!""Then why are you so calm?!""What else should I be?" Serena scratched her forehead and casually glanced at the man beside her. "What do you think my reaction should be?""Of course, you should rush to confront Xavier!" Vega huffed, as if her own man had cheated on her. "Ask that scumbag why he keeps saying he loves only you, yet secretly flirts with a female celebrity! What does that even mean?! I thought he was a pure-hearted man and admired him quietly for years. If I had known he was like this, I would’ve—""Would’ve what?"A lazy male voice interrupted, and Vega froze mid-sentence."Uh... How... How did you...?"Xavier remained lying back on the couch, looking entirely laid-bac

“Ugh!” With a muffled groan, Xavier immediately doubled over, curling up like a shrimp.The sharp pain below his abdomen made Xavier grit his teeth in agony, but even so, he couldn't bring himself to say a harsh word to the person who caused it.Sucking in a cold breath, his brows tightly furrowed, he accused her between gasps, “Serena, are you trying to murder your own husband?!”Seeing his expression, which didn’t look like he was faking it, Serena felt a pang of guilt. “I’m sorry… I just acted on instinct. I didn’t think… Are you okay?!”Xavier was drenched in cold sweat from the pain, but he forced himself to nod. “I’m fine… really.”“But you don’t look fine. Why don’t I take you to the hospital just in case?”“No need.” After resting for a while, he felt a little better. The first thing he did was reach out an

Frowning, Serena honked her horn, but the Jeep didn’t budge.Time was running out. With no choice, she rolled down her window, stuck her head out, and called, “Hey! Mind moving your car? You’re blocking the road!”Suddenly, the backseat door of the black Jeep opened, and a man dressed entirely in black stepped out, his baseball cap pulled low over his face.Serena’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly retracted her head, rolled the window back up, and instinctively locked the doors.Yep. He was definitely here for her.He stopped just outside her driver’s side door and knocked lightly on the window. His voice was deliberately lowered, “Miss Knowles, do you have a moment? Let’s talk.”“Who are you?” Serena asked warily, trying to make out his half-hidden face under the cap.“You don’t need to worry about that right now. Just come with me. Once we’re there, you’ll know.”The way he said it, so confident, like he was sure s

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

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&
