"You? What can you do?"Lindsay glanced at Campbell Watson, who was dressed in a tank top, shorts, and flip-flops. He looked like a total loser, not impressive at all.If she took this guy to the birthday party, wouldn't that be even more embarrassing?"Can you box? Do taekwondo? Muay Thai?""What’s your education? Bachelor's? Master's? PhD? Studied abroad?""Can you play the piano? Do calligraphy? Paint? Play chess?"Lindsay's barrage of questions left Campbell a bit stunned, unable to respond immediately."Ha, you dare to call yourself impressive when you can't do anything? Why would I take you? To make a fool of myself?"Lindsay mocked him mercilessly.She was feeling down, and with the old grudges between them, she had no reason to be polite.But Campbell wasn't having it. He retorted angrily, "Lindsay, are you looking down on me? Sure, I didn't study much, but I've seen a lot. I haven't learned Muay Thai or taekwondo, but taking down seventeen or eighteen guys is no problem. As f

"Wow, Campbell Watson, you're amazing! Taking down the enemy leader in the midst of battle like it's nothing. You're my hero..." Lindsay couldn't hide her admiration for Campbell once they were far from the manor."Now you see how awesome I am? Too bad it's too late. Even if you beg me, it won't help," Campbell replied smugly, not giving Lindsay any face."Pfft, give you an inch, and you think you own the place? What's there to be so proud of?" Lindsay scoffed, swallowing back her words about inviting Campbell to her birthday party."What was that all about? Who were those people?" Promise Nelson, who was driving, suddenly asked."Yeah, you mentioned something about a knight order. What's that? And what's an European Knight? I didn't understand any of it," Lindsay, full of questions, couldn't help but ask again."Just forget about it. Knowing these things won't do you any good, got it?" Campbell warned them sternly.The more you knew about the dark underworld of the West, the more d

Seeing her cousin's playful demeanor, Promise Nelson could only shake her head helplessly and cast an apologetic glance at Campbell Watson.Campbell pressed his lips together and gave a slight smile, indicating it was fine, then closed his eyes to rest.For a moment, the car fell into an eerie silence.Lindsay, probably exhausted from the earlier tension, unknowingly leaned against Promise and fell asleep.Promise looked at her cousin's furrowed brows even in sleep, feeling a pang of guilt.Because of her, her cousin had been frightened. She felt deeply remorseful and self-blaming."Promise, this isn't your fault. You don't need to feel so guilty," Magnus Nelson seemed to read his daughter's thoughts and gently comforted her.Promise took a deep breath, her expression serious as she looked at her father and said in a low voice, "Dad, I've faced danger three times in the past two days. Aren't you going to tell me the truth?""Promise, it's not that I don't want to tell you. It's just t

Brooke stormed out of the villa, yanked open the car door, and slammed it shut with a loud bang, startling a few detectives who were smoking nearby."Hey, beautiful, who ticked you off this time?" Hudson asked, tapping on the car window with concern.Brooke shot him an irritated glare and waved him off impatiently. "Get lost. I'm in a bad mood and don't want to talk.""Alright, suit yourself," Hudson replied, scratching his nose and walking away.He knew Brooke's fiery temper well enough to keep his distance when she was like this."Jerk, jerk, jerk..." Brooke muttered, kicking the car interior a few times to vent her anger.About five minutes later, Captain Hartman emerged from the villa."Back to the station," Hartman called out, and the detectives quickly got into their cars. Two police cars pulled away from the villa."Captain, why didn't you let me arrest him? I'm sure the guy who kidnapped Promise Nelson yesterday was killed by that jerk. He's a murderer!" Brooke fumed, her an

Nanjing Road in Huanglong District is the busiest area of East Sea City, lined with shops and a shopper's paradise, especially during holidays when it’s packed with people."Hey, ladies, we've been shopping all morning. Isn't it time for lunch? I'm starving here," Campbell Watson complained, carrying numerous bags and trailing behind three women with a look of despair.After breakfast, Promise Nelson decided to go shopping with Lindsay and invited Giselle to join them. Consequently, Campbell became their bodyguard and porter, barely getting a break all morning.Every time the women passed a store, they had to go in and browse. If they saw something they liked, they bought it immediately, forcing Campbell to make three trips to the parking lot to drop off their purchases.For Campbell, shopping all morning was more exhausting than a tough battle. Seeing the three women still full of energy and eager to continue, he couldn't hold back any longer."Hey, don't forget your place. We haven'
