I don’t have all day.”Annoyance flickered in the judge’s eyes, he opened his mouth to respond, then he took a closer look at the man standing before him.His breath hitched. His brows shot up in shock.The man standing before him was Lucian Grayson!Heir to the Grayson family. Newly appointed CEO of Astra Corp.

CHAPTER 14- Slapped Back to Reality
Isabelle reeled from the force of Sophia’s slap, she clutched her burning cheeks as she turned toward Lucian, expecting him to lash out at Sophia, to defend her.But instead of the support she was looking for, she was met with cold fury.Lucian’s face twisted in barely contained rage. He glared at her and before she could even speak.SLAP!The impact was just as loud, just as shocking. Isabelle gasped, stumbling backward, clutching her face in utter disbelif as she stumbled back a second time. Tears welling up in her eyes.“L-Luce...? Why ... are you hitting me?”“Why?!

CHAPTER 15- Healer's Condition
Adrian remained silent for a moment, as he thought deeply.The power inside him — gifted by Terra’s Will — was a miracle. Although he had no idea of Sophia’s grandfather condition, for some reason, he believed he could save him.And maybe… this was the start of proving to himself what he was now capable of.He flashed a crooked grin.“Sure, I’ll help,” he said casually.Sophia blinked, surprised at how quickly he agreed."But…" he paused dramatically. "I expect something in return.”Sophia’s eyes narrowed suspiciously. “What?”And instinctively, she shrank back in alert caution.Adrian’s smirk widened. “Oh, I don’t know…""Maybe another night in bed with you?”Sophia’s face flushed with anger and embarrassment. “You—! You are so annoying! Do you ever take anything seriously?”He chuckled playfully, watching as she boiled in anger.Seeing Adrian's smug grin, Sophia realised that she was being teased.Her cheeks puffed up in anger, but a flicker of relief still flashed in her eyes.
