The second Ruby hung up, she turned to Kyle with a pout. "See that, honey? Somebody's bullying me."Hayley and Alex were at a loss for words."Don't let it get to you. Bunch of idiots, that's all. I'll handle it. No point wasting your energy on people like that." Kyle pulled her into his arms, soothing her like she had been genuinely wronged.Hayley and Alex could only stare."Then you'd better stand up for Holly, too. She's my only niece. I've always treated her like my own daughter.""Your daughter is my daughter. Nobody's laying a finger on Holly while I'm around." As Kyle spoke, he already had his phone out, making calls.Before Hayley even made it out of the airport, Philip's fiancée, Sue, announced in the family group chat that she was calling off the engagement.She tore into Philip and his whole family, calling them frauds. Philip never owned a house, and even his job had supposedly come through connections. Now, he was under investigation. The fallout had dragge

"Trina, if you don't want pictures, fine, but we do!" Sydney shot Trina a glare before raising her phone with the other girls to snap photos with the fireworks behind them."Alright, that's enough. Everyone, get ready to board the bus. We're heading back to school!" Marvin called out through the packed crowd.An elderly teacher watched the students with a gentle smile. "Let them enjoy themselves a little longer." Hearing that, Marvin stopped urging everyone along. He walked over beside Alec. "Fair enough. Then let's watch too. Look at that. The fireworks tonight are incredible.""They really are."The old man smiled warmly as he looked out over the lively world around him.Beneath the dazzling fireworks overhead, Hayley saw couples leaning against each other, happy families of three, and familiar faces scattered throughout the sea of people.Everyone wore smiles as they watched the brilliant fireworks and soaked in the joy of the moment.They had families, lovers, friends,

Griffin bought everyone at Haylight League headquarters one more chance to survive. Because of him, they held out long enough for Hayley to come back.Before he left, he emptied out all the supplies and weapons in his inventory and gave it all away.After that day, nobody ever saw him again.He never came back.Even Leonard, who had always held a grudge against him, had nothing left to say after that day.For the first time, he finally understood why Hayley had kept Griffin by her side all this time.Griffin was a legend.The man had spent his whole life on the wrong side of the line and had never been a good man. He lived on the edge of the law and basic human decency, with more dirt on his hands than anyone could count. But in the end, he chose to save people.After hearing the full report about Griffin, Hayley stood frozen in place.Griffin… He...She pressed a hand against her chest and stared at the guard panel under her system interface.She still had seven subordina

"General Caldwell really lived up to his name. The whole Caldwell family is full of heroes," Milo said thoughtfully."Yeah." Hayley nodded seriously, unable to hide the regret in her eyes."Right before he died, he said we'd win this war in the end." Milo's bloodshot eyes grew brighter and brighter. "Turns out he was right. With you here, we'll win eventually."As he looked at Hayley, the look in his eyes slowly changed into something almost reverent, as if he was staring at a deity.He still remembered the first time he met her.Back in the clothing district, Hayley had been sitting beside Liam. At the time, she hadn't stood out much. She was quiet and hard to read.But the moment she spoke, she caught his attention.The more time Milo spent around her afterward, the more unbelievable she became. He fought beside her as they pushed through the city and slowly reclaimed their territory bit by bit.He saw how capable she was, the base she had built, and watched her rise higher a

Meals were provided free around the clock for everyone in the base.Compared to everything they had lost during this war, spending food on people wasn't a waste at all.With proper rest and enough nutrition, everyone recovered quickly.More and more people started joining Hayley on the defensive lines. Hayley led them in clearing out the remaining zombie hordes outside the base.At the same time, she gathered the engineers and professors responsible for weapons and materials research."Ms. Reid!"The moment Cyril saw Hayley, excitement lit up his face."How have you all been holding up?" she asked. "We're still alive!" Cyril nodded excitedly.During the zombie war, half of the research staff had gone to the front lines, while the other half worked under Ruby, helping mass-produce the suppressants.Compared to everyone else, the researchers had been relatively lucky. Most of them made it through unharmed.Mainly because even when they were at the front, people tried to keep
