“...I didn’t say anything, alright?” Red Rose rolled her eyes with mock innocence. “Don’t start with me, Austin.”“Girl, your mouth never stops running,” Iron Blade said with his arms crossed, smirking like a devil.Red Rose marched over, heels clicking like a death sentence, and stomped down on Iron Blade’s foot with her six-inch stilettos.Hard.Then she tossed her curls dramatically and snapped, “Mind your own damn business, dumbass.”Austin winced just watching. That looked painful.Iron Blade calmly pulled his foot back, acting like it didn’t hurt one bit.Austin glanced down and caught sight of the veins bulging on Iron Blade’s hand.‘Oh? So he’s pretending it doesn’t hurt. Gotcha.’‘I knew it! No way anyone takes a stiletto like that and walks away smiling.’“Waa

Briella dragged a chair over and sat down, propping her head up with one hand.Her eyes glinted playfully as she pointed at him with a lazy smile."You—do you want to be my student?""Me? Are you talking about me?" Alan blinked in disbelief, first nodding, then shaking his head.“What’s that supposed to mean? You don’t want to?”“No, no, I do! I absolutely do!”Alan flung his book aside, hands flailing excitedly like a child. He looked like he wanted to grab her hand but didn’t dare.“Skye…”“Still calling me Skye? Change that. Call me ‘teacher.’”Briella reached out and took his hand, lips curled into a gentle smile.“Yes, ma’am—Teacher!” Alan beamed. “Does that mean you’ll bring me into the lab now?”“I will. Since I’ve taken you as my student, I’ll

"Mom? How did it go? Did the key copy work?"Paige had waited anxiously all day for Mrs. Sawyer to come down, not daring to enter Emmet's room without permission. She’d been waiting in the living room since he left for work.It wasn’t until dusk that Mrs. Sawyer finally descended the stairs, radiating satisfaction. Breakfast and lunch had been delivered upstairs—she hadn’t left her room all day.The moment Paige saw her, she nearly jumped with excitement, immediately ordering the servants to leave.Mrs. Sawyer looked glowing tonight, like someone freshly… well-cared for.“Relax! Your mother nearly passed out from exhaustion, but I managed it! I waited half an hour, made sure the scanner showed success, and sealed everything back in place,” she said, patting Paige’s hand proudly before slipping her a box no bigger than a key.Paige grinned ear to ear, as if she already held the world in her han

“Is that all?”“…Then how about a ‘thank you’?” Briella considered it for a moment.Without another word, Diego released her hand, turned around, and walked straight out of the room.Briella: “What?”...After finishing breakfast alone in her room, Briella finally realized—The wound on her leg had healed significantly.The poison was completely gone.She clicked her tongue in mild disbelief. ‘What kind of miracle drug did they use on me?’Still, it hurt a little when she walked.Sinking onto the sofa, her gaze darkened. She seemed deep in thought.Just then, a knock came at the door.The butler’s voice followed politely, “Miss, the master has stepped out for business. If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to ask.”“Got it.”Briella rested her chin on her hand and star

Diego slowly lowered his hand, blood seeping through his fingers as he clutched his shoulder.When he caught the indifferent look in her eyes, a storm of malicious rage rose from deep inside him.His complexion turned ghastly pale. The black suit he wore did well to mask the growing patch of blood at his shoulder, but the crimson liquid soon crept down his arm—dripping from his long, slender fingers and tracing the contours of his hand before falling to the yacht’s deck in slow, winding drops.Under his dark fringe, his eyes reddened with fury, bloodshot veins lacing through his sclera.The pain in his shoulder didn’t seem to register—his entire being radiated ice-cold menace.He pressed his lips together, then suddenly chuckled. A gentle, almost kind smile appeared.His pulse quickened, breath shaky—but his voice was still soft, calm.“So that’s it?” he said quietly. “This is how
