**CONTENT: Chapter 378 The Opening Ceremony 1**

Renee’s lips curled into a disdainful sneer as she regarded Nicholas with a mixture of contempt and warning. “Then let’s wait and see how this plays out. But heed my words—do not even think about laying a finger on that man. If you dare to cross that line, you will find out just how ruthless I can be.” Her voice dripped with a cold certainty, each word carefully measured to convey her unyielding resolve.

Nicholas met her gaze with an air of mockery, his eyes glinting with amusement. “What’s this? Are you starting to show a softer side? Remember, he’s Jared’s son. I’m merely extending a helping hand here.” His tone was laced with sarcasm, as if he found her threats amusing rather than intimidating.

“Spare me your theatrics,” Renee shot back, her voice sharp as a blade. “If you ever dare to undermine my authority again, meddling in my affairs without my consent, then don’t say I didn’t warn you about the consequences. I won’t hold back.” The malice in her eyes was unmistakable; she had believed the drug Jane had given Triny was one of her own concoctions, but it was evident now that she had been mistaken.

Nicholas shrugged, feigning indifference. “It’s tough being the good guy in this game. If you prefer to linger here and play your little games at a snail’s pace, then by all means, go ahead.” His lack of concern only fueled her irritation.

Renee rose from her seat, smoothing her clothes with a practiced elegance, her posture transforming into one of regal authority. “Remember today’s conversation well. If this happens again, the Stint family will no longer be a refuge for you.” With those final words, she turned on her heel and strode out, her presence lingering like a storm cloud.

Nicholas watched her retreating form, his expression darkening, an unsettling blend of intrigue and menace swirling within him.

**At Kingston University—**

After concluding her discussion with Principal Zhang, Lillian stepped out of the office, her mind still racing with the implications of their conversation. Just as she was about to head back to her dorm, a familiar voice broke through her thoughts.

“Lillian.”

She turned, and her heart sank slightly as she spotted Eda approaching, her arm linked with Daylen’s. The unexpected sight caught Lillian off guard, a reminder of how much had changed over the summer months.

“It’s been a while, hasn’t it, Lillian?” Eda greeted, her tone almost saccharine.

Lillian forced a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. “Yes, it has. I certainly didn’t anticipate running into you here at university. What a delightful coincidence.” The words dripped with sarcasm, and Lillian relished the chance to throw a subtle jab.
