“Julie, turn off the video! Now!” D
“He saw you!”
Iris’s pupils contracted sharply as she shouted into the phone. (1)

Fortunately, Julie was wearing Bluetooth earbuds. She heard Iris clearly, and the sound didn’t car to the
two men.
Startled, Julie didn’t stop to think.
“Alright, I’ve got to go. Bye.”
Her body moved on instinct, following Iris’s instructions. She immediately ended the call, turned off her screen, and tiptoed away.
She had barely taken a few quiet steps when she heard footsteps behind her growing louder and clearer.
They were coming after her!
Panic surged through her.
Forget staying hidden.
She spun around and bolted toward the villa.
“Help-!”
She had barely gotten out the first word before a hand clamped over her mouth.
Julie struggled wildly, but only muffled sounds escaped her lips as the brightly lit villa grew farther and farther away.
Rupert Young and Steven dragged her into a secluded area.
Only after making sure no one had noticed them did they finally relax.
1 “That little brat keeps ruining my plans!”
With a swift strike to the neck, Steven knocked Julie unconscious.
“Forget about her. Worry about yourself first.”
Crossing his arms, he tossed Julie aside and looked at Rupert.
“Getting you out was already more generosity than you deserved. Maybe you should start thinking about how you’re going to pay me back.”

“Oherwise… I can’t guarantee that what you did will stay secret. Once word gets out about the murder, your family won’t be the only thing collapsing. You’ll be joining them behind bars.”
Rupert’s face turned ugly.
“I thought we agreed never to bring that up again! I never said I wasn’t paying you back! The probles that everyone in the Young family is watching me now. My mother’s recovered, too. I can’t get mynds on any money!”
The more he talked about it, the angrier he became.
And once again, his thoughts landed on Iris.
“If it weren’t for that damn woman from the Noir family and her brother, I’d already have complete control of the Young family finances!”
At the mention of the Noir family, Steven narrowed his eyes.
“The Noir family… are they rich?”
He had heard that his dear junior apprentice had finally found her biological family.
“Rich? They’re the richest family in Capital City! They have a hundred times more money than the Youngs!”
Steven’s eyes gleamed.
“Then why are we wasting time with your family? We just need to find a way to get the Noir family’s money.”
And while he was at it, he could prove to that blind fool Jett Xu exactly which apprentice deserved his approval.
Rupert stared at him speechlessly.
“You make it sound easy. I’m the eldest son of the Young family, and I can’t even get my hands on our own money. The Noir family has nothing to do with us. How exactly am I supposed to take theirs?”
“That’s because you’re stupid. This is actually very simple.”
A smile slowly spread across Steven’s face.
“As long as we use that.”
Neither of them noticed that Julie, lying unconscious on the ground, twitched a finger.
Early the next morning, Iris was awakened by Emma’s phone call.
Sister Iris! I got up super early today! I’ve been waiting for you to come! Uncle Ares is waiting too! And

Great–Grandpa!”
Iris smiled. “Okay. I’ll come over after breakfast.”
After breakfast, Eleanor offered to have the family driver take her there.
But on the way, Iris suddenly remembered the shacks Emma was always talking about.
“You can stop here. I’ll walk the rest of the way myself.”
She had the driver pull over in front of a large shopping center.

The Barclay estate wasn’t far away, and since it was still early, she planned to buy the snacks and enjoy a leisurely walk afterward.
The road was quiet in the morning.
Few pedestrians passed through, and even fewer cars drove by.
Rows of trees lined both sides, their lush green leaves forming a canopy overhead.
Carrying a bag of snacks in one hand and the teddy bear in the other, Iris walked down the road.
After only a few steps, she suddenly stopped.
That familiar feeling had returned.
The feeling of being watched.
She turned around.
Nothing.
Only the rustling of leaves swaying in the wind.
Rustle… rustle…
Frowning, Iris turned forward again and quickened her pace.
The faster she walked, the stronger the sensation became.
Someone was following her.
She glanced down at the snacks and teddy bear in her hands and accelerated further.
After walking a short distance, she spotted a convenience store.
Without hesitation, she went inside.
“Could you hold onto these for me? I’ll come back for them within the next couple of days.”

Before the owner could respond, a pile of snacks, a teddy bear, and several hundred–dollar bills had
ready been placed on the counter.
“Huh? Does good fortune just fall from the sky now?”
After confirming there was nothing suspicious about the items, the owner happily accepted the money.
Once Iris left the convenience store, she did not continue toward the Barclay estate,
Instead, she headed in the opposite direction.
She wanted to find out exactly who had been following her.
The same thing had happened during that shopping trip with her family.
