“Let her have her fun tonight. Then put her on the headlines tomorrow. She wants to ruin my reputation so bad? We’ll help her.”
“Okay.”
Stella leaned on his shoulder, tired.
Elias lifted her into his arms.
Whoever dares hurt Stella will regret it for the rest of their lives.
–
Apex Hotel.
Seraphina paced, clutching her phone.
Stella, with all your secret identities, all your fans-
How would they like you if they saw you fooling around with thugs!
Would any big shot still admire you?
Once the video of Stella’s humiliation leaks, the Cross family may not break up with her right away. But she’ll never stand a chance at becoming part of the Cross family.

“Sit and wait,” Nolan said confidently.
She’s just a girl. I don’t think she can escape.
“Nolan… will I really get my revenge tonight?”
“Trust me.”
Elias disrespected my woman. I won’t let that slide.
His phone rang.
Seraphina’s heart jumped. She stared at him, wide–eyed.
“Tomorrow, put her on the front page.” Nolan said, a cruel smile on his face.
‘It worked?” she asked eagerly.
‘Mm.
‘Where’s the video? I want to see.”
‘It’s not ready yet. Go to sleep.”
Seraphina didn’t push.
Thinking of Stella being humiliated made her giddy.

Tomorrow’s headlines would scream: Prodigy Healer Meets Twenty Tough Guys in the Suburbs.
“Will they trace this back to us?” Seraphina asked.
Nolan stroked her hair gently. “No. They have no proof.
“And even if they did, I’d take the blame. It has nothing to do with you.”
Seraphina smiled. Nolan really is the perfect weapon.
Stella, you’re ruined now.
Will you get as lucky as I did?
Will Elias still want you?
The next day.
The day of Seraphina’s art exhibition.
Many artists and Azure Peak’s elite showed up.
Not for her. They came to see Master Inkblot. Everyone wanted a glimpse of the legendary artist.
“Miss Thorne, is it true Master Inkblot is attending today?”
Seraphina smiled proudly. “Absolutely.”
“Master Inkblot never appears in public. This says great things about your future.”
“I look up to her. She’s my idol.” Seraphina raised her glass, acting graceful and confident.
I know most guests came for Master Inkblot. But the fact that Inkblot had chosen my show meant I’d earned the master’s approval.
“Nolan… when do we release the video?” That was all she cared about that day.
Nolan frowned. A strange unease settled in his chest.
Something didn’t feel right.
“Let’s focus on the exhibition first.”
“Did something go wrong?”
Nolan squeezed her hand. “Don’t worry. I’ve got you, no matter what.”
Seraphina relaxed, trusting his power.
“Where’s Master Inkblot? Why isn’t she here yet?” Seraphina asked.

“A master like her has pride. She’ll come,” Nolan answered.
Inkblot tookmy hundred million. If she backed out, I’d ruin her career.
“Mr. Cross is here! Mr. Cross has arrived!”
“And Queen is with him!”
“They make such a stunning couple.”
“They must be here for Master Inkblot too.”
Elias and Stella’s entrance stole the entire room’s attention.
Many top figures knew Stella was the Prodigy Healer and Master Celeste. They respected her and wanted to connect with her.
“What? Stella’s here? She looks… completely fine?”
Seraphina’s heart dropped. She clenched her hands so tight her nails dug into her palms, unnoticed. She glared at Stella, full of hatred.
Nolan swirled his red wine, his eyes fixed on the couple.
Stella wore a soft yellow silk dress that highlighted every curve. Her hair was pinned up with a simple hair
stick.
She linked her arm through Elias‘, elegant and light.
She glanced up at him, laughing at something he said, her smile bright.
The high slit on her dress swayed with every step, full of quiet charm.
This is the girl who’s supposedly suffered a horrible night before?
Her exposed skin shows not a single mark.
What’s going on?
“Nolan.” Seraphina called, impatient when he didn’t answer.
That temptress Stella is always seducing men.
Nolan snapped back to himself. “What?”
“Why are they here? Did you invite them?”
Nolan shook his head. His gaze drifted back to Stella.
“Baby boy,” Seraphina purred, pulling his focus away.
“Let’s go over.”

Seraphina linked her arm through his, her eyes burning with resentment she could barely hide.
Reporters swarmed the couple at once.
“Mr. Cross, Miss Shaw, I had no idea you loved my work so much that you’d buy expensive tickets just to get in,” Seraphina said.
Nolan frowned. The line was tacky and petty.
He preferred destroying people quietly. This public confrontation was stupid.
“Wait–Mr. Cross and Miss Shaw weren’t invited?”
“That’s cold. This is Azure Peak, and she just insulted him.”
“She’s just jealous. Everyone knows she’s obsessed with Mr. Cross.”
“This is going to be good.”
Seraphina was too angry to care about manners. The humiliation she’d endured flashed through her mind.
“If you’d wanted to come, you could’ve just asked. I would’ve sent you an invitation personally. No need to waste your money.”
Her mocking tone set the crowd buzzing.
“No way. They really weren’t invited?”
“She called them out right in front of everyone.”
“I heard she embarrassed herself at a Cross family’s party. Now she’s trying to save face.”
