"The dishes are all set. Let's eat."Michelle pressed her lips together, then, as if compelled by some unseen force, said, "I was going to help bring the food out too… I just didn't make it in time.""Miss Keller, there's no need to be so polite."Lenny placed the final bowl of soup at the center of the table and offered a faint smile.Michelle paused, surprised. It felt as though his attitude toward her had suddenly softened.Before, every time Lenny saw her, he had been wary and on edge, his face tight with caution. He had never once spoken to her with such courtesy, much less shown initiative in making peace."It's you all who are being too polite. Aren't we… friends now?" Michelle dipped her head, her voice low, tinged with embarrassment.In truth, she had never truly hated Khloe. But when someone takes the person you love, who could remain completely free of resentment?What was done was done. Regret came too late. A severed thread could never be tied back together.Miche

Khloe quickly spotted Charlotte's phone on the cabinet by the entryway.Handing it over, Khloe saw that Charlotte still hadn't fully come back to her senses. Charlotte took it mechanically, then said, "Khloe, you know Clarice is tricking you. Why are you still playing along with her?"Khloe drew in a deep breath and patted Charlotte's shoulder."Don't worry. For Nick's sake, she and I have to settle this once and for all.""Didn't Noah say Nick definitely isn't in their hands?"Charlotte's eyes were already rimmed red with anxiety.Clarice was dangerous now—she had even hired assassins back in Naraida. If Khloe were to negotiate with her alone, even her personal safety might not be guaranteed."What Noah said isn't absolute. Only by putting out enough bait can I test what's real and what's not.""But—""There are no buts. I can't wait any longer. No matter if Nick is alive or dead, no matter where he is, I have to see him now."Khloe cut her off with firm finality.Charlotte

"Get out."Ethan's patience snapped, his voice cold and sharp.Charlotte truly panicked.She wasn't sure whether he was toying with her, but right now, all the control lay in his hands. He hadn't even bothered trying to persuade her.She had only two choices: leave—or take a gamble. A gamble that Ethan still possessed a shred of humanity."Fine. I'll cook for you."She got up and headed straight to the kitchen.It was already very late, yet she felt no trace of sleepiness. Her nerves were stretched to the breaking point.Ethan had harbored ill intentions toward her before. Judging by tonight, he wouldn't let her off easily.Charlotte steeled herself. She had already prepared her final card. If Ethan truly tried anything, she could use it as leverage to turn the tables. For Khloe's sake, she had no choice but to push forward.There weren't many ingredients in the refrigerator. In the end, she made him a bowl of instant noodles—hearty enough, with vegetables and an egg added in

"Charlotte, please don't panic. Madam gave me instructions before she left. She said she wouldn't be coming back tonight and told us not to worry. We're to wait until tomorrow to deal with everything," Lenny said."Wait until tomorrow? Lenny, what's wrong with you? Do you realize Khloe is in danger right now?"Once her emotions took over, Charlotte lost all patience. She shoved Lenny aside. "If you won't go, I'll go myself."Lenny couldn't stop her and had no choice but to let her leave on her own.But there was no way Charlotte would be able to see Clarice.The Morrison family villa never received visitors, and on top of that, Clarice wasn't even at home that day.After hitting one dead end after another, Charlotte finally calmed down. With only her own strength, even if Khloe truly was in danger, there was nothing she could do.Besides, if Khloe was negotiating with Clarice, there was no way Clarice would recklessly court death in broad daylight in Goldmont City. Perhaps, just

Barney felt a pang in his chest and interrupted Angela in a low voice."You have parents, and you have a son. If you die, they'll be devastated.""What about you?" Angela suddenly looked up. The tears shimmering in her eyes softened his resolve at once.His Adam's apple shifted slightly. "I'd be devastated too. So I don't need you to sacrifice your life for me."Angela shook her head. "Don't try to comfort me. I know I've brought you nothing but terrible experiences. Don't worry, I won't trouble you again.""What exactly are you trying to do?" Seeing her so despondent and resigned, Barney grew anxious. "Are you planning to die again?"Angela said nothing. She lowered her head, tears falling in quiet streams. The sight of her vulnerability was almost unbearable.Barney's emotions twisted into a tangled mess. His feelings toward her had become contradictory and complex. The goodwill he had once felt when they first met had long since vanished. Yet, the struggle and fragility she c
