Chapter 42: Angered
Juliet’s face froze, stunned. For a moment, she couldn't say anything. It seemed she had forgotten the reason why she was here initially. Samantha stepped closer to Juliet with her eyes narrowed slightly. ‘’ My competitor?’’ She repeated what Juliet claimed herself to be, letting out a scoff instantly. ‘’ You aren't even close.’’ Her look was that of a master overseeing a trainee who had yet to prove herself. To her, Juliet represented nothing. Therefore, how could she regard her as a competitor?Juliet's eyes twitched violently, and her chest burned with anger. She couldn't believe Samantha's words."Although I would be denying it if I claimed I wasn't aware of this competition mentality, it's just not worth my attention. My aim has never been to compete with anyone or to be the best among my colleagues, but what can I say?" A small curve pulled at the corners of Samantha's lips, making her facial features appear more delicate than ever. "I consider myself lucky."At first, she
Chapter 41: Competitor
‘’I shouldn't have said all that, crossing the line and repeatedly showing off........I beg of you...spare me..my family is about to meet their end!’’ Juliet continued to plead, looking up at them like they were her only savior, and any word from them could determine her fate, also her family’s fate. ‘’ You......have to save my family.....I had no idea it would turn out like this...please..’’ William Ashford was known for his ruthlessness toward people he didn’t consider worthy in the city. As she had crossed the line by repeatedly going against Logan and Samantha, William told her the only way to redeem herself was to apologize and make up for those she had wronged. This explains why she rushed to Mayor Richard’s villa, in the hope of seeing Samantha. Fortunately, there was also Logan present. Although her actions right now were the most humiliating thing she had ever done, her family had made a threat! Thus, there was no other choice than to swallow her pride and beg as much
Chapter 40: unexpected guest
Logan stared at Samantha’s flushed face for a few seconds before standing up and strolling toward the large window, which was draped with a golden muslin curtain. The curtain swayed from side to side as Samantha's gaze followed Logan’s figure.“Leave it to me,” Logan said, pausing before the muslin curtain and placing both his hands behind him.Samantha pressed her lips together, feeling a sense of reluctance in her heart. She didn't want Logan to fight for her alone, but she nodded in agreement nonetheless.After that, neither of them spoke. The silence between them grew more tense, each lost in their own thoughts.Just as Logan proceeded to turn away from the window side, Samantha’s lips quivered, parting them slowly. ‘’ Is this why you claim you want to protect me?’’ She suddenly inquired, her curiosity heightening at this moment. This was something that had been running through her mind ever since Logan refused her offer of friendship the second time, and she couldn't stop r
Chapter 39: saved her
Logan’s lips curved in the faintest of smiles, one that was anything but warm. “Caution?” he echoed softly. “For them, not for me.” The elevator chimed. Ding. The doors slid open, revealing the plush carpeted hallway. Logan stepped out, his footsteps soundless, yet carrying the weight of inevitability. His eyes fixed on the end of the corridor—suite 2007. And inside that suite, Samantha waited, terrified and desperate. Logan’s hand curled into a fist. “Whoever you are… tonight, you pay in blood.” ..... The suite’s golden chandeliers cast a warm glow, but to Samantha, the room felt like a cage. Her wrists trembled as she pushed herself up from the velvet couch, her vision blurred and spinning. The bitter taste of whatever they had forced into her drink still clung to her tongue. No… I can’t… give in… Her breathing grew shallow, her limbs heavy. She staggered forward, clutching at the armrest for support. Every step felt like dragging chains, but her willpower burned stubbo
Chapter 38: To the rescue
As the car door closed and the sedan pulled away from the ruined courtyard, the neon lights of the city flickered across Logan’s calm face. He leaned back in his seat, eyes fixed outside the window, while Magnus sat opposite, sneaking glances as if trying to peel away his layers.Neither spoke for a time. The hum of the engine filled the silence. For Magnus, it was a silence filled with calculation. For Logan, it was a silence filled with certainty.The city skyline loomed ahead, its towers glowing like watchful sentinels. And somewhere within that city, the next chapter of their confrontation was waiting—at a restaurant where charm, veiled words, and subtle daggers would clash long before fists or blades ever did.The restaurant Magnus chose was hidden away from the city’s noise—private booths, dim lighting, and an atmosphere soaked in exclusivity. Expensive wine gleamed in crystal glasses, and the soft hum of a violin in the corner completed the illusion of calm.Magnus sat opp
Chapter 37: Magnus
Logan leaned back in his chair, the faint smell of incense from the Storm Fang Sect’s hall still lingering on his clothes. Across from him, his subordinate in black robes placed a worn envelope on the table with both hands.Logan pulled the picture from the envelope, his fingers steady. But the moment his eyes landed on the image, his expression shifted ever so slightly.The woman in the photograph was not a stranger.It was Callie - his general manager. His subordinate noticed his silence. “Master, do you know her?”Logan’s lips curved slightly, though his eyes grew darker, sharper.“She’s… someone who works under me in the city.” His tone was low, almost amused. “To think fate would throw her into this storm.”The subordinate bowed deeper. “Then you understand, Master. Protecting her may draw attention from many sides.”Logan tapped a finger lightly against the photograph, his mind already running through possibilities. He thought of Callie’s sharp words at the office, her cold gla
