Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1059

Graves lifted a hand and smacked himself hard on the cheek. "Why did you have to go and provoke that woman?"

He had tried to shove her into a pigsty, and now he was the one forced to live in it. But what else could he do? He was utterly powerless to fight back! He couldn't overpower her physically, and she held the power to completely destroy his entire career. He wanted to weep but couldn't find the tears.

As he hobbled into the miserable cabin, his foot hit a patch of slick moss, sending him crashing to the floor. It was the perfect insult to his already brutal injuries!

Meanwhile, back at The Spire.

Lydia and Vanessa were practically rolling around on the plush living room carpet, screaming with excitement. "Oh my god, this is incredible!"

"Is this what the joy of privilege feels like?"

"Twenty-four-hour hot water and premium mattresses!"

"Captain, you are an absolute legend!"

Caleb and Jasper stood by the massive windows, looking out toward the miserable Sector Delta, laughing so hard they had to brace themselves against the glass. Seeing Graves reduced to a groveling, miserable mess who didn't dare utter a single word of complaint was the ultimate validation. Every ounce of humiliation they had suffered under his authority evaporated completely.

"Still..." Lydia paused her rolling and propped her chin on her hands, pouting slightly. "Bianca and The Dreamscape Initiative have been dead last in every single round. Why do they get to shamelessly occupy The Meridian Suites?"

"Those are luxury ocean-view penthouses. It pisses me off just thinking about it."

Serena clearly had no intention of elaborating. She simply lowered her gaze and went back to sorting her intricate devices.

Lydia scratched her head, desperate to ask for details, but Caleb shot her a look that silenced her.

Watching Serena handle the sophisticated tech, Caleb’s mind drifted to their assigned workspace. "Captain, Lab Twelve is a disaster. It's completely inadequate for any precision work. What are we going to do tomorrow?"

If they placed Serena’s advanced equipment in that specific lab, the high salt content and intense humidity of the sea breeze would completely corrode the electronics within two days. If they were forced to work in those conditions for five days, they wouldn't even need to compete—the result would be a guaranteed failure.

"Since our accommodations were upgraded, our lab will naturally be upgraded as well," Serena replied, casually wiping down a delicate sensor. "I acquired all of this equipment from federal labs, and it has to be returned in pristine condition. If any of it gets damaged, the federal directors will personally come for The Organizing Committee's heads."
