Theron's Nephew

That afternoon, Scarlett had a few staff members join in while she played hide-and-seek with Theo in the yard.Inside, Rhys was briefing Theron."Boss, based on everything we've gathered, the person behind the recent attack on Young Master Theo is very likely... very likely..."He hesitated.Theron's eyes narrowed."Speak.""It may be your brother."Silence.Theron's brows drew together, his gaze darkening.If it was true, then his uncle's ambitions ran deeper than expected.Using Theo as leverage...That meant he was after the position of family head.After a long pause, Theron finally asked,"How reliable is the information?""We're still verifying.""Keep digging.""Yes, sir."This matter was too serious for assumptions.It could just as easily be an enemy framing his brother to drive a wedge between them.Nothing would be decided until the truth was undeniable.By around one-thirt

Insane

At his words, Theron frowned, his handsome face tightening as he spoke in the stern tone of an elder."Are you lacking women in your life? Keep fooling around like that and you're going to catch something.""I'm not that bad," Julian said with a shrug. "I know my limits. Besides, every guy likes that kind of thing. My friends are way crazier than I am. One night, they-""Enough."Theron cut him off sharply, clearly unwilling to let another second of that filth reach his ears.Julian slapped his own mouth lightly in mock apology, then grinned."Fine, fine. But, Uncle, I really like that girl. Just give her to me, alright? Otherwise I won't be able to eat or sleep."Standing off to the side, Rhys couldn't help wondering which maid Julian was talking about.Then, before he could figure it out-Scarlett walked in.The second Julian saw her, his eyes lit up.He shot to his feet and pointed straight at her."Uncle-it's her. I wan

Apology

"What exactly happened?"Scarlett rushed inside-and the moment she entered, her pupils tightened.Ronnie was holding a leather belt, whipping it down hard on Michael.Cracks of blood-stained marks covered Michael's entire body. One after another, shocking and brutal. It was a horrifying sight."I'll beat you to death!"With another vicious swing, the belt came down straight toward Michael's face.Not good!If that hit landed, his face would be permanently ruined.Instinct moved faster than thought.Scarlett shot forward in a blur and grabbed the belt mid-air.CRACK!The impact still traveled through her palm. Even with her absurd physical strength, her tiger's mouth still went slightly numb from the shock."What are you doing?!" Ronnie roared. "Let go!"Not only did Scarlett not release it-she tightened her grip even more."I told you to let go! Did you hear me?!" Ronnie was already furious, his voice rising highe

SILENT

At that, Michael's head snapped up.Behind the heavy fringe that shadowed his face, his eyes widened in disbelief.Then the disbelief melted into something rawer.Something painfully close to gratitude."Apologize?" Ronnie's eyes nearly bulged. "You expect me to apologize to that brat?""You accused him without facts. You took one story from Sadie and decided he was guilty. Then you beat him half to death over it." Scarlett's tone never wavered. "Now the truth's out. He did nothing wrong. So yes-you apologize."Ronnie's face darkened.There was no way he was going to bow his head to his own son."Come on, Scarlett," Sadie cut in, trying to smooth things over. "Don't take it this far. Dad can't apologize to Michael. We're family-there's no need to keep score."Scarlett let out a short, humorless laugh."No need to keep score?"Her eyes turned cold."That's easy for you to say when the belt wasn't tearing into your skin."

Fans

Scarlett turned her head.Theron stood there.No one knew how long he had been there.A fruit basket lay on the floor, its contents scattered everywhere.Beside him, Darrel instinctively took a step back, terrified of getting caught in the crossfire.In truth, the pressure in the room had already changed.Theron 's expression was dark and stormy, his eyes sharp and dangerous.Oh no.Darrel thought instantly.This was about to explode.He seriously shouldn't have followed him here.He was just thinking of retreating-When Theron suddenly moved.Striding forward with a completely unrestrained aura, he walked straight toward Scarlett.Darrel's heart nearly stopped.World War III incoming?!But just as he prepared to intervene-Scarlett calmly took something from her pocket.A chocolate bar.She held it out to Theron ."Here."The atmosphere shifted instantly.Storm clouds clear

Premium Meals

Outside the hospital, Scarlett sat on a bench, her phone propped up for a video call."What is it this time?" she asked.Before the man on the other side could answer, she added flatly,"And let me be clear-if this is another setup with some so-called eligible bachelor, I'm hanging up."The old man on screen coughed awkwardly."No, no. This is serious business."He straightened."My granddaughter is having her eighteenth birthday celebration. Since you're the military's top female commander, I'd like to invite you."He smiled."And besides... you're her idol. If you come, she'll be over the moon.""I'll attend on behalf of the military division," Scarlett replied.As she spoke, Theron had quietly followed her outside.Not wanting to be noticed, he stayed at a distance.From there, he watched her carefully.He wanted to know exactly who she was talking to.A man?A woman?And what kind of relationshi

Ridiculous

Sadie stood off to the side, her expression twisted-equal parts furious and jealous..A useless cripple like Michael... what right did he have?Her eyes turned red with envy."You say I'm wasteful?" Scarlett's voice turned sharp. "Do you even know who beat him into this state without checking the truth-and didn't even apologize after it was proven wrong?"Her gaze swept over them coldly."Now I let him spend a little of the Hayes family's money and suddenly it's unacceptable?"Sadie quickly changed tactics."Scarlett, why are you so petty? This matter is already over. Why are you still clinging to it?""Oh, that's funny," Scarlett replied flatly. "So if I stab you one day and say 'it's over now,' and you don't forgive me-does that make you petty too?"Sadie was instantly speechless.Mossa stepped in next."Enough. This really isn't appropriate. We're not saying he can't be hospitalized-we're saying there's no need for such luxur

No Recognition

At the hospital parking lot, Sadie glanced at her mother."Mom, what if my sister doesn't show up at the academy tomorrow? Wouldn't that tuition be wasted?"She said it casually, but there was purpose behind it.Mossa had already been worried about that.Now her brows furrowed deeper.Sadie lowered her voice sweetly."The film set doesn't start for another week. Why don't I go with her tomorrow?"She sounded thoughtful.Caring.But in reality, she had other plans.Her best friend happened to be the academy owner's daughter.And tomorrow-Scarlett would be stepping onto her turf.A place full of trained fighters.Better yet, her friend's older brother-the academy's young master-was a devoted admirer of hers.All she had to do was act wronged.He'd take care of the rest.Mossa sighed."Sadie, you're too kind. I don't even know what to say anymore." She shook her head. "After everything Scarlett h

Wrong Impression

Caught in that look, Sadie panicked instantly. "It wasn't me! It has nothing to do with me!"Steve frowned slightly. "Nothing to do with you?"Scarlett's voice was calm, but cutting."Have you no shame? This whole mess started because of you, and now you're saying it has nothing to do with you?" Sadie rushed to defend herself. "It was Dad! Dad did it! I tried to stop him-I really did! But you know his temper, I couldn't control him!""Stop him?" Scarlett raised a brow. "Funny. I only saw you standing there watching.""I-""Enough." Steve cut in coldly. "I need to examine him in detail. Please leave."His tone was final.No room for argument.Sadie's expression stiffened.Just as she was about to continue, Scarlett stepped forward."He said leave."That was it.No choice left.Sadie could only swallow her rage and walk out.The moment she exited the room, she immediately turned on Scarlett."Ho

The Combat Academy

The next morning-At nine sharp, Scarlett arrived at the academy Mossa had enrolled her in.Sadie came along as well.Officially, she was there as family support.In reality, she was there to keep watch.As they entered, Sadie smirked."Just so you know, training here is brutal. If you can't handle it, say so now. No one will laugh at you."She tilted her head."Actually... scratch that. People already think you're useless. You should be used to being laughed at by now."Scarlett shot her a sideways glance. "You recycle the same insults every day. Doesn't it get boring?"Sadie clenched her jaw as Scarlett walked ahead.Just wait.Her best friend would make sure Scarlett paid for that attitude.Right on cue, her friend Natalie came rushing over from inside the academy."Sadie! Finally-you're here. I've been waiting forever."She threw her arms around Sadie."You're squeezing me to death," Sadie laughed.
