Bella’s face changed instantly when she saw the woman. Her expression was almost unreadable—a mix of anger and surprise in her eyes.

For a moment, Leon studied the woman from head to toe, and felt a faint sense of familiarity.

After thinking for a moment, he finally remembered clearly. This was Hanna Kickh—his and Bella’s middle school classmate. The woman was attractive enough, though her beauty was still far behind Bella’s.

The shocking fact was that this woman had bullied Leon back then—her

    Mr. Joshep was the guidance counselor and also the homeroom teacher of Axel and the gang, class 3-D. He had a good relationship with Axel's parents and often received money to cover up Axel and Emma's misbehavior at school. With the video, he could easily shift the blame onto Gerald, making it impossible for Gerald to defend himself.[Congratulations, you have completed 20% of the mission.] [A reward of $200,000 will be sent to your account. Special ability: Online Game King. Special request: claim.]As Gerald walked towards the teachers' room, the same holographic screen suddenly reappeared, showing the progress of his mission completion. The $200,000 reward had been deposited into his account, while the additional reward there confused him."Online Game King?" he muttered. He suddenly remembered that he had heard that word from Devin. "What is an online game?"[An online game is a recreational activity done for fun online. In this day and age, online games have gro

    On the long bench in the front yard, accompanied by the thin breeze of the night, Harry sat pensively staring ahead. He had just returned from his job as a security guard at one of the elite apartments. He seemed to have many thoughts, so much so that his work uniform hadn't even been removed from his body."Harry?"Gerald's voice broke Harry's reverie, causing him to immediately turn towards the young man with glasses."What happened? Why does your face look so gloomy?"Harry immediately fixed his expression, acting as if he didn't want Gerald to see him sad.Gerald knew that Harry had been struggling so hard for Lucy, and now for him too. Looking weak in front of his two nieces and nephews was certainly not a good thing for Harry. Even though it was perfectly normal, because Harry was also a human being.Gerald then took a step and sat next to Harry. The black helmet in his grip was placed in the corner of the chair where there was still a little space left."William said you bought

    Leon was still trying to process what was really happening. Why wouldn’t his card work? Was Frander trying to trick him?At this point, Bella should have been wondering why the card wasn’t working. Because as far as she knew, the card was hers—and she would have known for sure whether it was still valid or not. If the payment failed, the most likely reason would be insufficient funds, not that the card itself was unusable.Unfortunately, Bella didn’t get a chance to think that far. Her mind was a mess from all the unexpected events of the day."That can’t be right—try swiping it again," Leon said, refusing to accept it.Bella just stayed quiet, seeming to calm herself down. Her thoughts felt scattered, and the sounds around her seemed to fade into the background for a moment.After swiping the card a second time, the cashier shook their head. This time, their previously friendly expression turned cold. What was the point of insisting? If you didn’t have the money, you should just leav

    In his mind, Leon thought the earlier warning should have been enough to scare the man off. But when he glanced at Hanna and saw her expression, he immediately understood what was really going on.Hanna had always been cunning and manipulative. It didn’t take much to figure out she’d egged her boyfriend on, making him regain his confidence.What made Leon even angrier was that this time, Hanna hadn’t just come with Henri—she’d brought two more friends along, who just happened to be their former middle school classmates too."What are you doing here again?" Bella asked sharply. She automatically handed back the black card she’d taken from Leon earlier, then faced Hanna, Henri, and their two middle school friends—Penny and Viona—square on."Why shouldn’t I be here? Everyone has the right to come in," Hanna shot back. Her face was full of arrogance and pride, a sly smile curving at the corner of her mouth."Oh, so this is the boyfriend you were talking about?" Viona cut in. She looked at

Bella said, her words trailing off.Hanna smiled coldly, looking at her with a condescending expression. Beside her stood a tall man dressed in a sharp suit, wearing designer items. His eyes stared shamelessly at Bella’s chest with obvious lust—making Leon want to poke his eyes out with his fingers."Oh, no mistake about it—it really is you, Bella," Hanna continued. "I never thought we’d meet again after all these years. Oh right—why didn’t you co

    "Um... um... I-I...." Leon stammered, still not knowing what to say. After a quick moment of thinking, he quickly held up the plastic bags and said, "I didn’t mean to look. I was just passing by to put these groceries in the kitchen. I’m sorry."After that, he hurried away as fast as he could.Watching Leon leave, Bella stood still for a moment. She’d just realized she was now living under the same roof as a man. Was my reaction too much? No, I should have reacted like that. Did he... did he see me changing?The thought made her cheeks slowly turn red. Her mind raced, making her feel even more flustered."No. No, Bella. He must have just been walking by. He was just passing through. Don’t overthink it," she muttered, trying to push away her negative thoughts.In the kitchen, Leon paced back and forth, staring at the plastic bags he’d set on the counter and hadn’t touched since. He tried to calm himself down and push the words he’d just blurted out to Bella out of his mind."Leon?"Sud
