“No, no, no!” The young man panicked, his slicked-back hair practically standing on end. He snatched the apple off his head, sweat pouring down his face. “I’m not worthy! I’m really not worthy!”
As he spoke, he tried to pass the apple to the other cousins standing nearby.
But none of the dozen or so people dared to take it, leaving Seth dumbfounded. Seth said, “You… You…”
‘What a useless bunch!’ Seth thought to himself.
“Useless!” Seth couldn’t take the humiliation anymore. He snatched the apple from the young man’s hand, planted it on his own head, and roared, “Do you really think she’d dare shoot at someone’s head?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a gunshot rang out.
The apple on Seth’s head shattered instantly.
Everyone stood there, left speechless.
They were shocked.
That was insanely fast.
Totally caught everyone off guard.
Everyone whipped their heads around to stare at Stella. Seth was still frozen, hand in the air, completely dumbstruck, his eyes wide and jaw dropped. “You… You…”
“I totally would,” Stella grinned.
Stella just shrugged it off, cool as a cucumber.
Seth’s eyes rolled back, and he dropped like a sack of potatoes, totally knocked out from shock.
He was so terrified he nearly wet himself.
Everyone around was frozen, too stunned to even breathe,
There was dead silence.
“I’m hungry,” the old man announced, opening his eyes right on cue. He smacked his lips, leaned on his cane, and got up, brushing off the guards who tried to help him.
He stepped right over Seth, who was still knocked out cold on the floor. “Time to go home and eat.”
He shuffled away, wobbling with every step.
His relatives just stood there, stunned into silence.

‘Isn’t he moving a little too fast for his age?’ they all thought.
‘Moreover, didn’t he literally just eat?’ Everyone couldn’t help but stare, speechless.
Meanwhile, Stella casually unloaded the gun like it was nothing, then chucked it back to John.
John rolled his eyes.
‘Do I look like the biggest sucker here or what?’ John thought, speechless.

The moment the old man was gone, the relatives scattered like headless chickens, but they still managed to drag Seth out with them.
Stella plopped back down on the armchair, raising an eyebrow. “Problem solved.”
Her expression was as laid-back as ever.
The guards just stared, totally at a loss for words.
Everyone was stunned into silence.
“You,” Bernard was about to speak, but Stella just checked her watch, cool as ever.
“Salem’s about to wake up,” Stella announced, calm and collected.
As soon as Stella finished, the guard by the bedroom door perked up. There was movement inside.
“Mr. Harper! He’s awake, he’s really awake!” the guard shouted, practically bouncing with excitement.
The guard was grinning from ear to ear.
Right then, the door creaked open, and Salem stepped out, looking like he’d just crawled out of a grave, his cheeks hollow and his frame gaunt. He propped himself up in the doorway with one hand. “Dad.”
“I’m here! I’m right here!” Bernard practically shouted, his voice thick with emotion.
Bernard sprang to his feet, tears threatening to spill, but then watched as Salem drifted out like a lost soul, making his way to the table and bowing his head.
Everyone looked over and saw Salem fixated on the busted table corner from last night, where Stella had
smashed it.
They were confused.
Salem mumbled, “So it wasn’t a dream after all.”
Bernard froze in place.
“Dad,” Salem said, still in a trance, “It was like I saw a ghost yesterday.”
Everyone was speechless.

Salem said, “And it was a girl ghost?”
Everyone couldn’t help but glance at Stella, who was sprawled on the sofa with a sly grin.
Salem said, “She even made me eat cream cookies.”
Everyone was speechless.

Salem continued, “I’d rather die than surrender…”
Everyone thought, ‘Uh-uh. Yeah, no, you didn’t.’
“But I was outnumbered…” Salem protested.
Bernard was speechless.
Everyone thought, ‘Not even close. There was no one else.’
Suddenly remembering something, Salem’s eyes went wide. “Wait, did she really say she’d break my legs?”
He shivered, then instinctively turned and planted himself right next to Sebastian, like Sebastian was his only lifeline now.
He practically glued himself to Sebastian’s side.
Sebastian, caught off guard, looked momentarily awkward.
Sebastian’s vein popped on his forehead.
He clenched his fists, barely holding himself back.
“Sorry,” Stella shot him a careless grin, eyebrow raised. “Correction, I said I’d break your leg.”
Salem was speechless.
Salem turned his head stiffly, like a puppet that needed oiling, and saw Stella sprawled on the sofa, head in one hand, looking like a total boss, waving at him slowly and easily.
She gave him a mischievous little smile.
Salem was shocked.
After one hour, with all the guards watching respectfully, the black Mercedes cruised away from Dragon Hill.
Lucas let out a satisfied burp.
Lucas, his belly stuffed and round, squinted in bliss, his soft, pale cheeks blooming with little flowers of happiness.
“Take me to the National Museum of Heritage first,” Stella said.

The big one and the little one both turned to look at her in perfect sync.
Stella grinned. “Just be good and do what Uncle Sebastian says.”
Lucas looked super grumpy, clearly not happy about it.

He scooted his little butt over to Stella, clung to her arm with a dramatic hug, and chirped, “I want to go too!”
He went full adorable mode, trying to melt her heart.
Sebastian, caught off guard, looked momentarily awkward.
‘This kid is such a cling-monster,’ Sebastian thought, totally exasperated.
Stella pressed her hand to Lucas’s forehead. “Nope, not happening.”
Lucas pouted, his cheeks puffing up again just like a little pufferfish.
He looked totally grumpy and puffed up.
Just then, Sebastian’s phone started ringing.
He looked down.
Sebastian didn’t say a word.
He glanced at the screen and saw that Allan’s caller ID had somehow been changed to a solo shot of him looking all cocky and cool, seriously, the most extra, show-offy pic ever.
He picked up.
Allan’s face popped up on the screen, so big it nearly scared Lucas out of his skin.
“Where’s Stella?! Tell her to rein in Simba!” Allan yelled.
Over to the side, Simba was sprawled out on the wooden steps, lazily licking his fur like he owned the place. Sensing something, he lifted his big head and tilted it at Allan’s phone, looking ridiculously cute. “Meow?”
“What’s up with him?” Stella asked, sounding bored.
‘He looks healthy enough to me,’ she thought, not even bothering to check.
“He ate my socks!” Allan yelled, pulling out a bunch of mismatched socks.
They were every color under the sun.
“Every single time, he only eats one sock!” Allan practically screamed.
Simba just looked all innocent, like he had no idea what Allan was talking about.
But then he let out a big, satisfied burp.

Stella froze.
Sebastian glanced over.
Lucas fell silent.

Suddenly, Allan’s camera picked up another goofy face, Jake, on the verge of tears, waving a sock like he was making a formal complaint. “Mimi ate mine too! And it only goes for the fancy ones, always the designer socks!”
