Chapter 601
Sophia immediately nodded with what appeared to be genuine admiration, though internally she was calculating how to navigate this increasingly uncomfortable conversation without giving Penelope any additional opportunities to gloat or probe deeper into her personal circumstances. “Wow, it really sounds like you're actually living your life exactly the way you had always dreamed it would be,” she said with carefully modulated enthusiasm. “You're currently living the most fulfilled life imaginable, aren't you? And thank God that your husband actually loves you so much that he wants to protect you and provide for you in all these incredible ways. The level of care and attention he shows you is very, very impressive.”Sophia's words seemed to hit exactly the right note, feeding into Penelope's obvious desire for validation and recognition. Immediately, Penelope started laughing with genuine delight, a sound that carried both pleasure and a hint of superiority as she basked in what she

Knowing fully well what Penelope actually wanted from this encounter, recognizing the trap that was being laid out before her with careful precision, Sophia knew instinctively that it would be of great disadvantage to her if she actually played directly into Penelope's hands. This was how their rivalry had always functioned - subtle verbal sparring disguised as polite conversation, each woman looking for weaknesses to exploit, for opportunities to assert dominance over the other. Sophia had no intention of giving Penelope that satisfaction today.Then she cleared her throat delicately, composing herself and putting on her own mask of polite civility as she responded. “Well, I've been extremely busy with school and everything related to that - you know how demanding academic pursuits can be. And then there's the family responsibilities and all the obligations that come with that, so I haven't really been out and about in society all that much lately.” She paused, then delivered what

Immediately, hearing what Sophia just said and recognizing the serious tone in her voice that indicated this wasn't a negotiable point, Damien nodded his head eagerly, relief washing over his features as he realized she was actually going to agree to go with him. “Well, no problem at all,” he said quickly, his voice filled with genuine appreciation for her willingness to compromise. “What is your condition? I'll agree to whatever you think is necessary.”Without wasting another second, wanting to make sure her boundaries were crystal clear before they ventured out into public together, Sophia looked directly into his eyes with an expression that was both loving and stern. “Whatever happens while we're out there, make sure that you don't even show your face clearly to anyone, and more importantly, don't say anything to strangers. Like, seriously, don't say anything at all unless it's absolutely necessary.” Her voice carried the weight of genuine concern as she continued. “Keep whate

At that moment, the Brain started pacing up and down in his room, his footsteps creating a rhythmic pattern on the floor as his mind raced with possibilities and plans. His heart was beating faster than usual, and there was an energy coursing through him that he hadn't felt in a very long time. Yes, this was exactly the opportunity that he had been waiting for, perhaps without even fully realizing he'd been waiting for it until now. A perfect opportunity like this didn't come along often - a legitimate, professional reason for him to actually get closer to Serenity, to spend extended time with her, to be in her presence without it seeming suspicious or inappropriate.But it wasn't just about getting closer to her professionally, and he knew that if he was being honest with himself. This was also his chance to confess his feelings to her, to finally be open about emotions he had been keeping carefully locked away for far too long. Yes, he liked Serenity - more than liked her, if he was
Chapter 597
At that moment, hearing what Serenity just said with such unwavering conviction and immediate certainty, the Brain was genuinely shocked a little. The surprise hit him like a physical force because he absolutely had not been expecting Serenity to actually agree to something of this magnitude so quickly, so decisively, without even a moment's hesitation or a single follow-up question. In all his years of recruiting people for dangerous operations, he had never encountered someone who committed so instantly to something involving the Supreme King and the royal family. The silence stretched for just a beat too long as the Brain processed this unexpected turn of events, his mind racing to adjust his approach. Without wasting another second, realizing that he needed to make absolutely sure she understood the full scope of what she was agreeing to, the Brain said to Serenity with a tone that carried both concern and disbelief, “This is not something that you should just agree to like this

Immediately, the Brain nodded on his end of the line, a gesture of acknowledgment even though she couldn't see it, and his voice took on a more businesslike tone as he continued speaking. “Well, that is actually a good thing to hear. I'm glad you're recovered and back to full strength.” He paused for just a moment, as if choosing his next words carefully, and when he spoke again there was a directness to his tone that cut through any lingering confusion. “For your information, I know that you must be wondering why I actually called you out of the blue like this, and you must be finding my call actually weird and unexpected and all of that. But just know that I didn't actually call you solely for the purpose of checking out on you or anything like that.”There was another brief pause, and Serenity found herself leaning forward slightly, her curiosity now fully piqued despite her earlier confusion. The Brain's voice continued, steady and measured. “I did genuinely want to make sure
