MATED TO MY BULLY STEPBROTHERS 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 31 - 챕터 40

RANDYCarl stared at me for a while and finally he sighed.“It's pointless anyway," he shrugged. “I'm sure she would not agree."Liam nodded in agreement and Carl continued. "Maybe we should ask Finn for help. He seems to know a lot.”I frowned. The idea of running back to that veilborn stranger on the hill made no sense to me."You want us to keep depending on some outsider we barely know?”"For now, we should not attract any attention to this outside of the school," Liam said. "We will try to find out if she had met anyone unusual. I say we talk to everyone that Randy saw in her memory. If we do not get a solution from that, then we will consider Finn.""Fine," I sighed. "Let us get this over with.”We moved through the school, avoiding the crowded areas so we would not draw too much attention. After asking a few questions to some students who seemed close to her circle, we finally found one of the girls she always hung around with. Her name was Yoan, an omega who spent most of her

CARLMy eyes remained fixed on the paper displaying my score. I could not believe I had been overthrown by none other than Kaden with a perfect 100%. No one ever scored a perfect score in Mrs. Brenda’s welcome back test exams. My own 95% suddenly looked like failure and the sight made something tight twist deep in my chest. I shifted in my seat, gripping the edge of the desk a little harder than necessary as I tried to make sense of what I was seeing. The air in the classroom felt heavier and the low murmurs spread through the class.I glanced at Jade as she and Kaden now faced the class. The students were reluctantly applauding them now thanks to the teacher’s instructions. Jade stood at the front of the room with her hands clasped tightly in front of her, her shoulders slightly hunched like she wished she could disappear into the floor. She looked shocked, her eyes wide and her cheeks flushed with a color that was definitely not from happiness. I wondered how she had managed a 98%.

JADEBefore he could get the wrong impression, I disentangled quickly from his arms and shifted further away from him. He smirked as he held up my diary in his hand, turning it slowly between his fingers like it was the most interesting thing he had ever seen. His eyes sparkled with mischief, and the corner of his mouth lifted in that annoyingly confident way that always made my stomach flip. “So, Jade,” he said, his voice low and teasing, “what exactly are you hiding in here that you don’t want me to see? Is it all those secret thoughts about how much you hate us? Or maybe something a little more interesting?”"What? That's a lie! I'm not.... That's not..."I tried to respond, but my words came out incoherent, a jumbled mess of half-formed sentences that made no sense even to me. My cheeks burned hot, and I could feel the heat spreading down my neck. I reached for the diary again, but Carl held it just out of reach, leaning his face even closer with that same smirk still playing o

LIAMA few minutes into their presence, I got the news that they hadn't been able to get any meaningful information from Miranda's boyfriend and friends either.I leaned back in my chair, rubbing my temple with two fingers as the weight of the situation worried me. We had spent the last two days questioning everyone close to Miranda, hoping for even the smallest clue but there was nothing. Her boyfriend had looked confused and worried, repeating the same story about her complaining of mild stomach pain the day before. Her friends had said the same thing, there had been no strange encounters or unusual people. She was just a normal girl whose life had suddenly been cut short by something none of us could see.Today, being another day of our study session with Jade, I noticed Carl was more excited than usual. I did not have to ask because it was obvious something was going on between him and Jade these few days. The way he looked at her, the small smiles he tried to hide, it all pointe

JADEI stood there in the infirmary room, my heart pounding so hard in my chest. The boys had no idea what was happening inside me right at that moment.. I had not even needed to lay a single finger on her before the visions started flooding in.This time, what I saw left me even more stunned than before. They were not lying, Miranda was truly dying. Her energy level was below ten percent and the thought that we could lose her at any moment made my stomach twist into knots, and a cold shiver ran down my spine.Without thinking, my body moved on its own. I took several steps backward, away from Miranda’s bed, until my back nearly touched the wall. The distance helped a little, but the images still remained clear in my mind. I could not shake the feeling that something terrible was feeding on her, pulling her deeper into unconsciousness with every passing second.The triplets noticed my movement immediately. Their attention shifted from Miranda to me in a flash. Carl was by my side in a
