******

Before long, they reached their destination, Avery all but shoving the door open, and tugging Irene inside.

Just as she had said, Perry was already waiting.

And right now, their mother sat on the narrow student-sized bed, a document spread open in her hands.

She instantly looked up at the sound of the door, her brows furrowing with what looked like worry.

“So…” she drawled anxiously, not even waiting for the two to finish entering.

‘This…’

Irene’s heart suddenly stuttered, a tremor rippling through her chest.

‘That look of concern… was it directed at me?’ she couldn’t help but wonder for a moment, catching the worried gaze heavily etched in her mother's eyes.

The feeling was unfamiliar, almost foreign… yet painfully, it was achingly welcome.

The first thing her mind seized on was that her mother’s concern came from seeing her rush off earlier with a pale face. And thinking this, her lips parted, the beginnings of words rising in her throat…

But Avery cut her off.

  • Chapter 247 – Ethan’s Terror

    ******At this moment, Ethan looked deathly pale, every bit of blood drained from his face as he stared at James, who was still laughing and leaping about like a man who had finally lost his last thread of sanity.qEthan felt his legs tremble violently; his instincts screamed and roared, urging him to run, to flee before something unspeakable happened.But he couldn’t move… he was frozen where he stood, paralyzed by a terror so intense that it felt physical, a cold, sharp sensation crawling down his spine.Right now, Ethan wanted to cry… to just collapse and sob until the ground swallowed him whole, but he couldn’t. He knew he hadn’t just made a mistake… he had committed the single worst blunder of his life, and now there was no turning back.He wanted to smash his head against the wall and scream until his throat tore open, wondering how he had been so stupid, why he had forgotten where he was, and what kind of men stood before him… all just because he heard Glenn’s name.Usu

  • Chapter 246 – A Regretful Muscles

    ******At this moment, James looked like a pauper who had just stumbled on buried gold after a lifetime of poverty, his chest heaving violently, his body trembling, and his entire being lit with crazed exhilaration.“This is incredible!” he howled, tears actually spilling from his eyes. “Hahaha! I knew there was no way fate would deny me my revenge! It’s real… hahaha! It’s all fcking real!”He laughed harder, the sound almost breaking.His joy was monstrous, feverish even. “I knew it! I knew I would get my chance to repay him one day! Hahaha! Is this it? Finally?!”His hysteria consumed all the air in the courtyard, causing the tension to thicken once more… but this time, heavily laced with unease.Even the thugs… men who had seen cruelty, blood, and terror, couldn’t help but shift uncomfortably, their earlier bravado fading into nervous silence.Watching James now was like watching someone dance on the edge of madness.He was no longer the young master of prestige or control;

  • Chapter 245 – A Deranged James

    ******‘Glenn?’The name slammed into Ethan’s mind like a vice, squeezing every thought out of him.His whole body trembled uncontrollably, his breath turning shallow, and his chest rising and falling like he was drowning in air.For a long moment that felt like an eternity, he couldn’t process what he had just heard.That was his Glenn… the one person he had been giddy about seeing again, and the brother he had been preparing for before these people stormed in like a nightmare.His big brother, who had vanished five years ago without a trace before returning just today… and now, somehow, this same name had come tumbling from James’s mouth.Finally, Ethan froze, his mind stopped working altogether, as if someone had yanked the plug from his brain.Then, before sense could stop him, his mouth opened on instinct.“Big brother?” he blurted, his voice cracking mid-sentence. “You… you know my big brother?”The words escaped before he could snatch them back, and… that was it.The

  • Chapter 244 – Ethan’s Disbelief

    ******An abrupt wave of murderous, suffocating aura erupted from all directions, pressing down on Ethan with an unseen force.It was as if the ground itself was trying to devour him whole.And before he knew it, his knees nearly buckled, feeling the raw intent to kill in his very bones.Rapidly and in the blink of an eye, cold sweat drenched his back, his breath turning forceful, shallow, laborious, and panicked.“I… I... I… I…” he stuttered frantically, struggling to form any words, but his tongue felt completely heavy, his voice looping like a broken record.His mind screamed for him to say something… anything, yet his lips only trembled uselessly.But just at that moment…“Little cunt! You really knew the person who dared to humiliate our own young master?!” one voice roared, brimming with disbelief and fury.“You are so dead today!” another voice barked, sounding even more ferocious and aggressive.“You are just finished and done for!”“You are so going to wish you wer

  • Chapter 243 – A Terrifying James

    ******Right now, James stood unnervingly still, his chest rising and falling as though he had just drawn the entire atmosphere into himself.The air around him felt incredibly tense, thick, and heavy, like it might shatter anyone who dared to move closer to him.And when his eyes met Ethan’s, they gleamed with such curiosity, hunger, possession, and an unsettling delight that didn’t belong to a human’s face, making Ethan’s stomach twist frantically. It was the gaze of someone who had just stumbled upon a mystery… one he intended to dismantle piece by piece, no matter the screams or tortures it took to get there.And seeing this, Ethan couldn’t help but swallow hard, his throat painfully dry.At that very moment, his instincts screamed louder at him that there was something significantly wrong and dangerous in the way James was looking at him.But before Ethan could pinpoint it and decide whether to speak, breathe, or bolt for his dear life, James let out a shaky, broken laugh

  • Chapter 242 – Ethan’s Instinctive Fear

    ******First, Ethan’s gaze fell on Muscles, who remained pale and stiff, his expression caught somewhere between guilt and defiance as he knelt on the floor, almost as if bowing to his own disgrace and terror.Then his gaze shifted to the gangsters surrounding them, their eyes glinting with barely contained violence, each of them gripping their weapon as though they couldn’t wait to unleash chaos and destruction.And finally… he turned to James.James wasn’t speaking, but at this time, his eyes… those eerie, unsettling, glimmering eyes were fixed entirely on himself.That's right, and what Ethan saw in them made his stomach twist. The look wasn’t human; it was cold, fascinated, and hungry. As soon as Ethan saw this, a sudden chill crawled up his spine, spreading until his legs weakened beneath him.Then his knees almost gave out beneath him. Fortunately, he caught himself on time... only barely. James's gaze… it wasn’t the gaze of a man looking at a boy.It was the look of a
