The Abandoned Son Give Finlay the trophy
Demetrius fixed his gaze on the monitor for what seemed like forever before mustering the bravery to send a personal message to the author, pleading to take down the contentious tweet. The reply was immediate, tinged with sarcasm. "Why should I care? You want me to erase it just because you say so?" "I'm directly impacted by this. Can you please remove the tweet? It's causing me distress," Demetrius pleaded, hoping for empathy. "Why do you think you're so important? I'm merely spreading your tale. Isn't it beneficial for people to empathize with you? Can't you see the goodwill?" The author countered, adding a smirking emoji for effect. A wave of frustration washed over Demetrius as his fingers rapidly typed out a response. "I don't need the pity of strangers. Please, just take it down. It would mean a lot to me." "No chance! My follower count is skyrocketing. Why would I delete your post and risk losing all those followers?” The author returned, showing no signs of compromise. Be

"To some extent, yes," replied Doctor Lowe, observing Scarlette's stoic face. He hesitated for a moment before sighing, "The wound was quite severe, with the glass penetrating directly. However, with adequate care, the scar should gradually diminish. Otherwise, we could consider surgery." "No surgery," Scarlette declared immediately. "What are the odds of a prominent scar if we let it heal naturally?" "Roughly 80%," Doctor Lowe estimated. Assuming an innocent look, Doctor Lowe raised his hands and said, "The cut is severe; it would be miraculous if it doesn't scar. How on earth did a car accident happen?" Doctor Lowe was clueless about the true nature of Scarlette and Demetrius' relationship, incorrectly assuming that Scarlette had something to do with Demetrius's accident. "Kareem is looking into it," Scarlette responded, without offering any further explanation. "He..." Doctor Lowe began, seemingly trying to infer their relationship, yet stopping short of voicing his assumption
The Abandoned Son Anxious
Kareem quickly called for a cleaner to come to the house.A team of five professionals arrived and used specialized odor-removing products to thoroughly clean both the inside and outside of the villa, completely getting rid of any unpleasant odors.Compared to previous cleaning experiences, tackling the smell here was much easier. Before leaving, the cleaner even told Scarlette to contact her directly if a similar issue occurred in the future.Only a faint hint of the cleaning agents remained in the villa. Scarlette handed Demetrius a set of clothes, saying, "These clothes must fit for you.”Demetrius graciously accepted them and thanked her before taking a refreshing hot shower.The clothes weren't just slightly oversized; they were loose enough for Demetrius to fit a few more pieces of clothing underneath.After quickly drying his hair and tending to his own clothes, which he left to air dry in the guest room, Demetrius diligently cleaned the bathroom and bedroom before retiring to t

Scarlette remained focused on her task, oblivious to Demetrius' gaze. When she finished the meticulous trimming, she released his bangs, using her hand to tidy them up, and gazed at Demetrius with a soft utterance, "Done." Despite the modest distance between them, Demetrius felt as though Scarlette's smile reverberated near his ear, sending a tingling sensation. He quickly averted his gaze, lowered his head, and gently brushed his bangs with his hand, offering a soft expression of gratitude, "Thank you." "Wait," Scarlette interjected, fixating her gaze on Demetrius' face and inching closer. Demetrius' pupils dilated slightly, his back stiffened, and the calm composure he had regained only moments ago gave way to a racing heart. It was only when Scarlette delicately removed the strand of hair clinging to his lower eyelashes that Demetrius began to relax. The proximity between them wasn't as close as it seemed; his apprehension had gotten the better of him. Lowering his gaze, Demet
The Abandoned Son The parent-teacher meeting
It marked the beginning of his romantic journey. Scarlette appeared to disregard his words and maintained a silence. A hush fell over the surroundings. The car finally halted in front of a restaurant. Demetrius, his eyes closed, teetered on the edge of slumber. He roused only when he sensed the vehicle coming to a stop, unbuckled his seatbelt, and stepped out of the car. The outside air carried a crisp chill. Demetrius zipped up his jacket and trailed behind Scarlette into the restaurant. They settled at a table near the window, immersed in a tranquil ambiance punctuated only by the gentle clinking of utensils. Demetrius resolved not to return to Scarlette's villa and instead opted for an overnight stay at a hotel. As they disembarked from the car, Scarlette called out, "Remember to take your medication." Scarlette handed him a bag. The bag contained an assortment of medicines, triggering a faint crease in Demetrius' brow as he recollected the taste from before. Reminiscing o
The Abandoned Son I've missed you
Scarlette pulled out the chair from Demetrius' spot and took a seat. A silence hung in the room for a full two minutes before conversations erupted, escalating into an uncontrollable frenzy. "Is she from the Guerrero family?" "Yes, it's her. Didn't expect to see her here. She rarely makes public appearances." "Scarlette looks stunning, but how did she become Demetrius' guardian?" "Is Scarlette engaged to Finlay?" "No, they called off the engagement." "Do you think it's related to Demetrius?" "Quiet, everyone, quiet!" Mr. Stephens exclaimed, attempting to regain control over the increasingly chaotic situation in the classroom. Sensing Demetrius' gaze, Scarlette turned her head, and her deep, brooding eyes conveyed a gentle smile. In an instant, the scene before Demetrius blurred, as if a jigsaw puzzle had been rearranged seamlessly. He furrowed his brow, his complexion paling as he averted his gaze, focusing on the book in his hands. His heart was consumed by a complex mixtur

His consciousness blurred, and at some point, someone chuckled softly in his ear, patting his head gently. "Demetrius, it's time to wake up. It's not good to oversleep." Demetrius opened his eyes. Despite blinking rapidly, he couldn't make out Acevedo Berry's face, which was gradually becoming blurry, until another person's silhouette started to form on that face. - Scarlette. Feeling something wet on his face, Demetrius instinctively reached up to touch it, finding saliva on his hand. He sat up, realizing it was all a dream. The room was dim, and a faint light peeked through the curtains. Winglet stood beside the bed, eager to lick his hand. Just as he suspected, it was a dream. Demetrius let Winglet out, drew the curtains, changed his clothes, freshened up, and had a simple breakfast. Then, he took Winglet out for a morning run. The time was barely 6 AM, and as he descended the stairs, Demetrius spotted Scarlette. Upon seeing Demetrius, Scarlette nodded at him, her sharp fe
The Abandoned Son Demetrius #1
After Demetrius left, Finlay made several attempts to turn the vacant room back into a music room. However, each time he mentioned it to Mrs. Gallagher, she became upset and emotional, reminding her of what happened with Demetrius. Worried that Mrs. Gallagher's emotions might escalate and trigger her old state, Finlay decided to drop the subject, leaving the matter unresolved. Yet, Finlay himself couldn't shake off his irritability. Every time he entered the room and saw the unused piano, an inexplicable anger surged within him. Despite dedicating years to practice, what was the point? Demetrius had effortlessly outperformed him, making his devotion to the piano seem like a mere joke. However, Finlay couldn't bear the idea of admitting defeat. He considered Demetrius incomparable to himself. With a shake of his head, Finlay positioned himself in front of the piano and pressed the keys. The high notes sounded sharp and piercing, making him realize it had been a long time since he l

End
The crowd followed Hank's outstretched finger with raised eyebrows, their gaze directed towards the indicated spot. Over the trees, the highway, and under the clear blue sky, a single distinct object stood out - a Ferris wheel. Joziah furrowed his brow in confusion and turned to Hank, questioning, "A Ferris wheel? Are you certain?" Demetrius took a moment to consider and then spoke, "That's the direction of the amusement park. It's where we investigated that historical institute earlier." Ramiro joined the conversation, adding, "Is it the haunted Historical Institute where the Wife and Daughter painting is located?" A faint smile appeared on the corners of Hank's lips as he affirmed, "Exactly." As the leader, Joziah arranged for the SWAT team to escort the arrested individuals to the police station, while the rest of the group opted for a lighter approach, traveling together towards the amusement park. Hank signaled the car to halt in front of the gates of the Institute of Histor

Take aim
When Ben saw that the shot missed, Donte Wagner, who was next to him, pulled out a gun as well, and Ben suddenly turned his face and fired a shot at Demetrius. Hank rubbed his chin, "Told Lennon was premarital phobic." In the following days, the S City Police Department, under the personal command of Bureau Ignacio, uncovered all the personnel Worf had planted within the department as well as at the police academy, and Interpol's side of the battle was thoroughly cleared of Worf's encroachment. This battle was fought beautifully. However, before the SCI people can enjoy the joy of solving the case, there is another arduous task waiting for them, turning to Denmark to attend Broderick and Lennon's wedding. Lennon nodded, "Well, willing, aren't you?" "In the two rooms next door to big brother's new house." Gonzales smothered a laugh, "We set it up just as there was more than enough material." The car drove away slowly. Broderick was tossed out too, "So what else? I've told you that

Betrayed
The crowd shook their heads, these so-called cultivators were black-hearted and black-handed, and this time they did not know how many seedlings had been poisoned.Donte Wagner, seeing that there was nothing else going on left or right, was ready to go back to setting up as well, and on his way out the door, suddenly turned back to Hank and said, "By the way genius, there's one place where you're wrong.""You guys want it!" Ramiro said, "Then if anyone wants to catch Demi in the future, won't they just use a net gun and an electric baton?"The three students were speechless, thinking about how hasty the decision had been.Hank smiled slightly, "The whole point of taming animals is that these beasts are harmless most of the time, and will only attack if you tell them to."Three days later, Mason's place got the shocking news that a total of a dozen or so werewolves had been captured, as well as several small raiding parties of Worf's that had come to steal the medicine."What about res

Guard him
The crowd listened as he continued on.All three students nodded after looking at each other.Franklin Estes stared at the principal with some surprise for half a second, turned his face to Hank, and the crowd, though they had heard Ben say that the principal and Worf were having an affair, had no definite proof of it, so how was it that the man had been brought in?"And how is that going to be touched?" Franklin Estes wondered, just as he saw Hanks Walters reach up and gently stroke his hand across his neck, then down his chest... Slowly down, brushing his ribs in what seemed to be a tickle... The magician's long, dexterous fingers made Franklin Estes itchy and uncomfortable beyond words.Hank was also drinking a cup of hot chocolate, probably because he and Demetrius had rolled around on the bathroom floor in the hotel and cleaned up half a day, and then slept on top of the half-full waterbed when he was tired, and Hank came back with a stomach bug, and Demetrius felt guilty for bei

Waterbed
"You're here for Worf?" Broderick could see that Demetrius and Hank didn't seem to appreciate Donte Wagner much as a person, but it was no wonder; Donte Wagner had an unusually cruel temperament, so most people didn't like him.When the two were out the door, they saw Franklin Estes hurrying down the stairs and looking out, they saw Donte Wagner invite Hanks Walters into the back seat of the car and follow him himself, Franklin Estes's face instantly stank, and after a moment's thought, he walked over to Broderick and said: "Um... Brother, lend me a car."Hank shook his head and said, "It's not so much about using the werewolf to solve the problem violently as it is about using counter-theories and counter-suggestions to achieve chaos within Worf, and as long as he's out of the fight, it'll be much simpler to tackle Worf alone."Franklin Estes' mouth deflated, wrapping her arms around Anne Fleming next to her to figure it out, muttering darkly... "Hanks Walters is the wickedly handsom

Too cheap for him
"This case is extremely involved." Ben said, "He wants Trenton Ingram for the same reason.""In the beginning, I had a spring in my step, and for those three years, I put all my passion into my work, performed well in the police department, and because of my excellence, I was transferred to the anti-terrorist unit... To work in a job that is more contributing to humanity."Without waiting for the yacht to dock, Hank and the others took Demetrius back to the villa by plane first, while the rest of the SCI waited until they reached the shore and escorted Ben back with Mason Janessa Woodard.Demetrius looked at him for a moment, "Go ahead then.""Shut up!" Ramiro gave him a hard one and locked him in the room with Van, and Ramiro took the tape and sealed his mouth shut so he wouldn't say any more of those exasperating things.Ben flinched slightly and didn't make a sound."No." Hank shook his head, "Would suspect the three missing students were doing the publicity stunt... But would neve

The electricity is weak
Demetrius had recovered a little by now, and looking at the furious Ben on top of him, his mind flew to plan, the only strength he had left now was only enough to make one retaliatory strike, which could be to kick him away, but he'd surely use the electricity again, and to be honest, if he took another one, he'd be completely defenseless. Another, would be to just strangle him with a chain... As he was thinking, Demetrius suddenly heard footsteps coming from the doorway.Trenton Ingram, watching from the doorway, suddenly got red in the eyes, turned angrily and walked out, just in time to see Franklin Estes, who was waiting curiously at the doorway, and suddenly lifted his foot and stamped on him.Trenton Ingram looked at Hank dumbfounded, "Going to what?"Hank nodded and said lightly, "Yeah, I'll make sure you have a good time this time."Franklin Estes was a little worried, but he saw Hanks Walters give him a gentle wave of his hand, signaling him to stay out of the way, and after

The weirdness
At that moment, Hank also heard the sound of the car's engine coming from far behind him, and Demetrius got out of the car and told the driver, "Drive!""The plane stopped." Hanksha said, "It hasn't moved again."Demetrius slowly turned around to see the man who had walked in, a momentary daze, "Ben?"Just as the twins' car was about to arrive, there was a sudden "buzzing" sound, followed by a loud wind, and Demetrius turned around to see a helicopter flying up behind him."Heh..." Trenton Ingram reached out to pat it on the head, and Anne Fleming rubbed against him before turning and running into the room to find Franklin Estes and Hank.Several people exit the elevator and arrive in the casino, just to see that the four walls have been burned to the ground, but you can still vaguely see the wild scene from last night.Hank slowly steps into the casino, observing the surroundings."What?!" Hector sat up with a roll, "I was worried I wouldn't find him, I'll bring you the boat myself!"

Hank laughed and shook his head, putting the walkie-talkie down."Chief, those three came in, one went up the stairs from you, one went up the second floor from the back, and one went to the living room with the three killers.""There's something strange about these guys." Lennon stared at the screen and frowned slightly, "The way they act, they feel like special forces, but the costumes are homemade, something like terrorists."Hank frowns slightly at Trenton Ingram.The car had just arrived at the estate when they heard a gust of wind and the sound of propellers in the air, Demetrius and Hank got out of the car and looked up to see a helicopter slowly parked on top of the tarmac in the center of the yard, little Hassan ran over joyfully and threw his arms around Hank's legs shouting, "Hank!"At that moment,Lennon came down from the second floor,Trenton Ingram looked up at him and smiled slightly.Lennon also looked at him,and then looked at the crowd of SCI,a little powerless,the atm
