Losing his allowance was a small matter. If things got serious, he might even be grounded for days–and scolded nonstop

Kevin’s mom looked at his unusually intense reaction, puzzled. She spoke softly, trying to calm him down. “Kevin, why are you talking like that? Do you really think Andrew would lie to us? Did you and Lilith fight again? Young people argue all the time, it’s normal. In a few days, it’ll blow over. This is actually à good chance…”
“I said I’m not going! And you’re not going either!” Kevin’s voice hardened, and there was a hint of panic even he didn’t notice. “Something’s wrong with that place! What if something happens there?”
“Nonsense!” Kevin’s dad snapped. Seeing him getting more worked up and even criticizing the place his parents recommended, he got angry. “What could possibly happen? Andrew’s family is there now. Mrs. Zaylee and the others are there too. There’s nothing to worry about. If you won’t go, fine–stay home and think about your attitude!”
Kevin’s mom hurried to smooth things over, though her tone became firmer toc. “Okay, Kevin. If you don’t want to go, you don’t have to. Just stay home and don’t get into trouble. Your dad and I will go ourselves. If it really is as good as Andrew says, I’ll bring some back for you to try.”
After the call ended, Kevin slumped into his chair, heavy with disappointment.
He wasn’t calm yet. Worry and a little regret crept in.
He stared at the screen of his backup device, where his recent angry, slanderous posts on Starnet glared back at him
If his parents actually went, Lilith mentioned it, and they checked–those posts would be proof beyond doubt.
He was so nervous that his back was sweating profusely.
He stopped caring about pride or anger and frantically logged into the platforms, deleting each comment one by one. After finishing, he finally heaved a sigh of relief–but the frustration and an unshakable sense of unfairness felt even heavier
He could already picture his parents returning from that “miracle farm” with disappointed expressions and Lilith’s likely mocking face.
Looking down at the shattered device on the floor made him even more restless
When the impulse faded, a deeper, stranger self–doubt quietly settled in.
Could I really be wrong?
Lilith was hot–tempered and didn’t get along with him, but she rarely acted recklessly when it mattered. She had bercely Elizabeth, even at the cost of falling out with her childhood friend. Andrew—the sharp, cautious foodie–had passed the fam endlessly and had even personally invited Dad and Mom.
Even the faint images of Mrs. Zaylee and the others in the videos.
All these signs clashed violently with the vile image of Elizabeth that Kevin knew

After a moment of hesitation, Kevin decided to ask Xyla Knight directly.
He picked up his backup device again, took a deep breath, and called the pinned contact.
The call connected quickly, and Xyla’s clear, pretty face appeared on the holographic screen.

She seemed cheerful. Seeing it was Kevin, her eyes lit up with just the right amount of surprise. Her sweet voice said, “Kevin, I was just about to contact you. I didn’t expect you to call first.”
Hearing that Xyla wanted to reach out lifted the gloom from earlier conflicts and family stress. Kevin couldn’t help smiling. “Xyla. did you need something?”
