“Alvin, I just want to stay with you and help,” Floria said softly, her voice steady despite the tears in her eyes. “I know how important this project is to you. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you win the partnership with Everwell Pharma.”

Alvin hesitated for a moment as he studied her face. Seeing the determination in her eyes, he finally gave in and nodded.

“Alright. You can stay,” he said. “But promise me this, don’t act recklessly like you did before.”

Floria quickly wiped away her tears and broke into a bright smile, nodding again and again.

Of course she had to stay. If she left now, how could she kill Larissa?

She had never expected that bitch to show up in Moblos. Not only that, Larissa had represented Smeana in the National Academic Competition and taken first place.

The assassin Wilmot had sent had failed. Worse, the man had died during the attempt.

Larissa really was harder to kill than she expected.

But this time would be different. Floria would plan everything herself.

She would make sure Larissa never left Moblos alive.

Anyone who dared to compete with her for her brother deserved to pay the price.

The next morning, two explosive headlines dominated every major media platform.

‘Everreach was purchased by Everwell Pharma’s Founder,” and

A Genius Student from Smeana Wins First Place in the Global Academic Competition.”

Even more shocking, the young winner had been personally chosen as Theodore’s mentee.

The internet quickly filled with excited discussions.

I heard the founder of Everwell Pharma is also from Smeana. That country is producing more and more impressive talents.]

[They say the Everwell Pharma founder spent 60 billion dollars to secure Everreach. That shows how powerful their finances are. The founder must be incredibly rich.]

[That girl from Smeana was the star of the Global Academic Competition! I heard she even got a perfect score. And she caught Professor Quinn’s attention too. That girl is definitely going places.]

[I’d love to see these two in person. Smeana keep producing talented people. Can’t underestimate them.]

“Boss, you’re basically a celebrity now,” Thea said as she scrolled through the headlines on her phone,

shaking her head in amazement. “Who would’ve thought the two hottest names in the news would turn out to be the same seventeen–year–old girl?”

Larissa only gave a small, indifferent nod.

“Once we finish breakfast, I’m heading back to Smeana,” she said calmly. “I would entrust the company and my brother to you.”

Before Thea could reply, the restaurant doors suddenly burst open. A group of men dressed in black stormed inside, weapons in hand, moving straight toward Larissa.

The peaceful restaurant instantly descended into chaos. Customers screamed and scrambled for the exits, knocking over chairs and tables as they fled.

Larissa was stunned. She hadn’t expected an assassination attempt in a public place like this.

But she reacted instantly. Rising to her feet, she slipped several thin silver needles between her fingers.

These attackers looked like unlawful men with nothing to lose.

Thea sensed the danger immediately. Without hesitation, she grabbed the chair beside her and hurled it forward. The chair slammed into one attacker’s head with a loud crack, knocking him straight to the floor.

Larissa remained calm. Her wrist flicked forward. The silver needles shot through the air like flashes of light. Several attackers suddenly clutched their throats and collapsed.

But more men rushed in from the doorway. One wave after another kept coming.

Thea fought back fiercely, but the attackers were too many. Little by little, her strength began to fade.

Then one of the men pulled out a gun. Before she could react, they seized Thea and used her to threaten Larissa.

“Larissa, go ahead and keep fighting,” the man sneered. “I know you’re tough. But your friend’s life is in my hands now. If you want her to live, drop everything and surrender.”

A barrel pressed under Thea’s jaw.

Thea glared at him with burning hatred. “If you’ve got the nerve, pull the trigger,” she snapped coldly, “Otherwise, one day I’ll make you regret this.”

Then she shouted toward Larissa. “Boss! Don’t worry about me!”

Larissa’s chest tightened. For a brief moment, worry flashed across her eyes.

But she quickly forced herself to calm down. If she acted rashly now, both of them could end up dead.
