Garett raised one eyebrow. "I'm in a bad mood right now. You'd better get out of my way!"What upset him the most was not being banned from the community but rather that his plan had failed. He had no idea how Dalton could recover from the Viperairder's bite.No one but certain people could handle the poison. Even the best doctors in the country could not since they were not from the military.The only guess Garett had was that the Ronin faction had tricked him. But he did not dare complain because he was afraid of the president.Elara walked up to Garett. "I understand how you feel. Cassian is annoying, isn't he? I actually don't like him either.""What do you mean?"A slight grin appeared on Elara's face as Garett showed interest. "I approached him for the money. But his attitude is horrible. After spending some time with him, I found out his secret. You can use that to revenge him.""You could be trying to trick me," Garett said suspiciously."That's natural," Elara adjusted Garett

Blinded by anger, Isabella did not think twice when she hurled harsh words at Cassian and Elara. She was disgusted that Rosalie was acting like Aveline was the bad one."In these three years, Cassian never sent Aveline a message. He even went straight to having fun with his mistress after the divorce. What woman could stand being treated like that?"Elara tried to maintain her emotions by practicing breathing control. She was beginning to think her decision to help Aveline might have been a mistake."Watch what you say before I lose my temper," she warned through gritted teeth."Why should I shut up? You're indeed having an affair with Cassian," Isabella accused."We were sent to the front lines. There's no time for that sort of thing. It's even hard for us to tell people out there.""That's just your excuse. I heard you and Cassian weren't invited to the Grand Ceremony. Now, I'm sure it's because you committed adultery during the war!"A slap landed on Isabella's cheek, silencing her

Aveline was still resentful towards Cassian even though her ex-husband did not bother her directly. It hurt to see him living comfortably with Elara, while she had to struggle hard to survive.Her hands clenched tightly into fists as she recalled Nathaniel's treatment in the smoking area. That man had treated her with disrespect because she was poor now.She was sure she would encounter more men like that in the future. But she vowed not to fall for them and remain firm in her life."I know another good hospital in this city. Get your things ready. We'll move there right now," Stella spoke in a cheerful tone.Liam hugged Aveline. "Sister, thank you so much. I'm sorry for troubling you. I promise to help you with your life from now on!"Aveline's heart trembled with emotion. All this time, her brother had always acted as he pleased and could only spend money on dating.It seemed that the matter with Lieutenant Asher had made Liam realize his mistakes. Even Stella was behaving better th

Max no longer dared to question Cassian. Whatever the reason, he had to work together to save Aveline."Are you seriously coming with us?" Isabella asked after passing through security at the gate using the invitation card."Cassian is my friend. Of course, I have to help him!"Hearing that, Isabella became more excited as the chance of Aveline escaping the wedding grew. She felt ashamed for getting angry at Cassian.She should be grateful that people were willing to help her. And even more surprisingly, they were people she did not expect."You guys remember our plan, right?" Elara looked at Rosalie and Isabella.While in the car, they devised a plan to get Aveline out of the hotel. Rosalie would pretend to be a normal guest, while Cassian and Elara would distract the guards.Once the guards were distracted, Rosalie would take Aveline away with Isabella. They were to leave first without waiting for Cassian or Elara."Yes, I've understood my duty. But what about you two? I'm worried y

At the Golden Crest Hotel, Cassian had to deal with five guards who were surrounding him. He had already dealt with a team of ten, so his opponents were now more cautious."That guy has a calm but precise technique. Don't let your guard down!" the team leader instructed.The other bodyguards nodded. Nervous sweat poured down their faces. After seeing Cassian's fighting style, they realized that he still had not shown his full capabilities."I suggest you all surrender. It's better for all of us because we can save time and effort," Cassian advised seriously.The suggestion, which seemed more like an insult, got a fierce reaction from the bodyguards. Instead of giving up, they preferred to fight to the death."Attack him at the same time so he has no space to fight back!"In unison, the five bodyguards lunged at Cassian. But before they could land a single strike, their bodies were flung into the air.They were dazed to find themselves crashing into the wall and slumping to the floor.
