Helena had very high hopes for Xavier. Her words "I encourage you to take your future into your own hands and forge your path to greatness" had fully captured the hopes she had for him. Helena hoped that Xavier would become Alden University's top student.Xavier looked up at Helena. Although she was getting older, she still remained alert. She always had been gentle and elegant. He often received help from her while living with the Scotts for many years. In fact, Helena also proposed for the highest scorer to receive a scholarship so Xavier could receive the funds.After learning what happened to the Scotts, Helena changed the scholarship to fully exempt Xavier from paying the school fees. She also supplied free lunches and textbooks because she couldn't bear to see Xavier's talents go to waste. Xavier glanced at Helena with a determined expression before bowing. Helena smiled in relief. "Go ahead. Lead the other students and take the oath together to welcome the upcoming col

"Xavier's very happy. You don't have to feel so guilty about certain things." Elijah told Liesel, who looked downward a little with a faint smile on her lips. "Just because he's happy now doesn't mean he wasn't hurt before. I can only do my best to make it up to him.""Sometimes, you can focus more on yourself instead." Elijah reached out to pat Liesel gently on her head. He drew his hand back with a secret chuckle after Liesel glared at him.It was the night of Ashthorne First High School's prom night. Some female students were already secretly casting glances at Xavier. There were even students who began shoving a pretty girl to Xavier's side. Anna McCarthy had round cheeks and delicate features, and she looked gorgeous. At that moment, her face was completely flushed, yet she was still casting furtive glances at Xavier with pursed lips. "Xavier, will you dance with me?" Xavier put a hand in his pocket and looked into the distance with slightly pursed lips. "I'm really sorr

Liesel had always known that pregnancy, miscarriage, or childbirth could cause significant damage to a woman's body, but she only truly understood it after experiencing it herself.She felt weak and dizzy. She was occasionally seeing spots and dry-heaving. Her legs were unsteady, and her entire body felt like it was walking on cotton.But this was Xavier's graduation prom night, and she wanted to dance with him.She wanted to tell him that she was there for him and he wasn't alone."Come on. Dance with me," she said with a smile.Xavier paused for a moment before taking her hand again and pulling her into an embrace. He could clearly smell the faint scent of herbs on her. She'd been drinking medicine lately.She had really been through a lot.As they danced, Xavier looked down to meet Liesel's eyes, which were always gentle and smiling whenever she looked at him.Sometimes, Xavier thought that the way Liesel looked at him didn't seem like the gaze of an older sister at her youn

Xavier continued, "Now I get it. You didn't refuse to let me grow up with you. You chose a path for me that would let me survive. You wanted me to have an easier, carefree life. And when I got hurt, you were right there in danger too."Even now, with all that you've achieved, they still insult you because of your gender. It seems like the only way for you to avoid their malice is to climb higher, to stand at the top and look down on everyone."You wanted me to escape this life, but you're trapped in the nightmare forever. I've figured it out now."Xavier held Liesel's cold fingers and awkwardly mimicked Elijah's usual gesture to warm them up. "Can we forgive each other?"He would forgive her for years of neglect and disregard, and she would forgive him for hurting her.She was his sister, and he was her little brother. They were a family.Although Xavier only said to forgive each other, Liesel could almost read his true feelings in the depths of his eyes.Her throat tightened, a

Xavier sat still. The warm breeze swept through his hair, which revealed his handsome face. He didn't unbuckle his seatbelt or get out of the car. Instead, his gaze was fixed on Elijah's face."I can't leave in this situation," Xavier said calmly. "You can take me with you."Elijah's face remained serious as he ignored Xavier's objection and unbuckled his seatbelt. "Don't be stubborn. Lili will be heartbroken if something happens to you."He chose the word "heartbroken" instead of "guilty."Xavier's gaze turned sharp and intense. "Wouldn't you be heartbroken if something happened to Liesel? I'm her brother, and you're her lover."Who was more important—her brother or her lover? No one would have an answer to that.Xavier and Liesel were clearly siblings. Their temperaments were so similar. If it were Liesel in this situation, would she act differently? No. She wouldn't abandon Elijah to go off on her own either."Listen to me, Xavier."Elijah cracked his knuckles and said serio

Augustine closed in. His broad frame loomed, and as he raised his arm, the muscles in his bicep flexed. He pushed back his damp blond hair, exposing his sweaty forehead. His rugged, audacious face came into view. He was hot, but compared to Elijah, he carried a rougher, darker edge."Is it because of Ms. Sharp? I really want to know what kind of face she has that makes you so obsessed with her. Is she more beautiful than Duke Sylvian's daughter?"Augustine's hatred for Elijah stemmed from their past. Augustine had once been madly in love with Finlay Sylvian's daughter, but she only had eyes for Elijah.On top of that, Elijah had completely outshone him in racing. It was no surprise that Augustine's jealousy had turned into bitter resentment.Elijah's expression darkened at his words. With a swift motion, he grabbed Augustine by the collar. His voice was cold and deadly as he warned, "Direct your madness at me. Don't lay a finger on Lili, or I'll haunt you even in death."Augustine

Xavier's white shirt was soaked in blood. The deep wound from the glass shards lodged in his chest, and blood was gushing in steady spurts."Hang in there, Xavier! You can't pass out! I'm taking you to the hospital!" Ethan's voice was frantic as he held Xavier.Elijah had trusted him with Xavier's safety. He couldn't let Xavier fall here.Ethan struggled to hail a cab while holding Xavier steady.Xavier opened his eyes and wiped the blood from his forehead. His voice was no longer calm. "Bandage my wound. Take me to the exam venue." He sounded determined."Are you out of your mind? How can you take the exam in this condition?" Ethan's eyes widened as he argued. He was going to force Xavier to the hospital. "I need to take the exam. Elijah asked you to take me," Xavier said.As soon as Elijah's name slipped out, Ethan gritted his teeth in frustration.He was also injured and weak, yet he couldn't help but be taken aback by the reckless determination emanating from Xavier."Dam

The reporters continued clamoring for answers."Is that student the one you value the most, Principal Davis? I remember your prized pupil is Xavier Scott. Was that him?"Helena's expression grew darker. She maintained her composure and answered firmly, "Apologies. We'll provide answers after the exams are over."The college entrance exam began.Sitting in his seat, Xavier pressed his fingers to his temples. His head spun violently. The nausea surged to the point where he felt like he would vomit. Clamping down on the discomfort, he forced himself to focus and began writing furiously.The invigilator frequently passed by his desk. She initially wanted to ask if he needed medical assistance. But upon glancing at Xavier's rows of accurate answers on his paper, she refrained from interrupting.Still, her gaze often lingered on his bloodstained clothes, which stood out starkly in the exam room.When the first exam concluded, Xavier collapsed onto his desk. He was clearly at his limit

Brandon didn't respond right away. Fred continued, "No one taught your mother and sister how to act appropriately in society. Mr. Ford is spending his precious time teaching them what to do and what not to do. Thus, they will have to suffer a bit for this."Mr. Zima, if you really want to help them, then just give your parents the bare minimum financial aid from time to time. As for your sister… you have no obligation to provide for her. Do you understand where I'm coming from?"Brandon couldn't accept it. "My sister's reputation in the industry isn't great right now. If I don't help her, then she really won't be able to survive. Mr. Ford is also an older brother. He should understand what I'm going through."Jacob loved Ophelia, and Brandon also naturally loved Yvonne. It was because of this that he wanted to try getting forgiveness from Ophelia.Fred raised his voice. "Ms. Ford is very warm and never treats people haughtily. She has never used her family background to bully oth

With a serious expression, Brandon rattled on about the various compensations for Ophelia. Fred nearly couldn't keep his facial expression under control.It seemed like everyone already knew that Ophelia was a huge fan of Chelsea's. It couldn't have been easy to think of such a compensation.The elevator arrived on the top floor, but Jacob still hadn't given his response. Therefore, Brandon hurried into his office behind Jacob and Fred. Finally, Jacob looked at him. "There is some sincerity to it."Firstly, a public apology to Ophelia on his company's Twitter account would clear her name. Secondly, the shares would be considered as financial compensation for the mental distress caused.The third form of compensation was the key point that convinced Jacob to look up. He thought that it was too difficult for Ophelia to fight for concert tickets and produce fan merchandise herself. Now that there was someone readily available to do it, Ophelia wouldn't have to work so hard.This pers

Jacob could really be heinous.Who wanted to listen to Veronica's blabbering?Most people thought that Tobey was sly, cold, and heartless. However, they didn't know that Jacob was the one who was truly wicked.In his youth, he had once been kidnapped because one of the medicines that the Ford family manufactured had threatened to undermine the profits of others. During that time, he'd suffered through endless torment.When he was rescued, his personality had turned ruthless.Although he could be monstrous, he placed great importance on his family and friends. And, Ophelia was his beloved little sister.How could he let Yvonne off the hook for scheming against Ophelia? He had to teach Yvonne that the world could be a harsh place.Not only was Yvonne stupid, but she was also very unfortunate.At first, Jacob could still tolerate how Yvonne had used Ophelia. He had just planned to give her a small taste of her medicine and stop there. However, Veronica had decided on her own accor

Vincent's expression turned cold. He wanted to kick her out of the house, but suddenly, Jacob's cold voice sounded from afar."Since our family is powerful and influential, why should we swallow our anger and surfer in silence?"Jacob had left a document at home, but because his assistant, Fred Foreman, didn't know where it was kept, he had to come home himself to get it. Unexpectedly, he overheard Veronica's haughty words when he returned.Well, a woman who was only pretending to be wealthy in a remote place was now acting superior in his home. Who would allow that to happen?All these years, Veronica had never been defied by someone younger than her before. Because she was much older, she considered herself superior. She didn't care if one was the heir to the family or the eldest son of the main family. At that moment, Jacob's words had made her rage boil over."Look! Look at the children that the Ford family has produced!"Jacob raised an eyebrow. He massaged the spot betwee

Edward chuckled quietly in her ear. "Where do you want to go tomorrow, Ophelia? Should I take you on an overseas getaway? Or perhaps, we could take a stroll nearby and watch a movie.""I can't go overseas; I'm not on break yet. Let's go watch a movie," Ophelia replied. "I've only watched a movie with you as my brother. This time, I want to try watching a movie with you as my boyfriend."Although Edward was still the same person, his identity had changed.She could now touch Edward openly. She could hold his hand, hug him, and kiss him.It was… really great."Alright, get some rest today. I'll come pick you up tomorrow," Edward said.Ophelia nodded and walked him to the door. As soon as she shut the door, she pressed her hand to her chest, feeling her heart thudding rapidly from the kiss earlier.She hopped into bed and rolled from side to side.After Edward got into his car, he finally let out a loud laugh. He pressed his fingers to his lips, reminiscing about the aftertaste sh

As their tongues intertwined, Edward could taste a sweet and sour flavor on Ophelia's tongue. It tasted like she just had a piece of strawberry candy that made her entire mouth taste sweet.Even her breath smelled like this refreshing and saccharine fruity scent. It was as if she was enticing him to take a bite of her and swallow her.The more they kissed, the more forceful Edward got. The air around them felt syrupy and intimate."Are you sure you really have never dated before? Am I really your first? If I am… then why are you so good at kissing?" she asked like it was an interrogation.She didn't know how to kiss and was very inexperienced. However, Edward had practically conquered her. He kissed her until her knees went weak.At the thought of Edward doing this to another woman, her chest began to ache terribly.Edward played with her hair, which had become messy from the kissing. "Like I said, you're all I dream about. I don't even know how many times I've kissed you in my d

"How would you know that I also didn't have the same kind of thoughts when you secretly kissed me all those years ago?"You said that I was born in a tall tower, but I didn't get to choose my background. Meanwhile, you have climbed your way up to where I am to be with me."In ancient times, we would have been innocent and carefree childhood sweethearts. We would've been considered a match made in heaven."Edward, what I'm saying is the truth." Ophelia said each word solemnly. She stared unblinkingly at Edward as she spoke. "While you were struggling with these emotions, who said I was not struggling too?"However, I just couldn't forget you. I couldn't accept a future without you. What I wanted was to have you by my side. I wish you were my lover, and I want to be with you, Edward Ford."Her response was firm and resolute. It echoed with conviction.At the same time, she seemed to be giving her answer to the Edward who had been hiding his feelings in fear and panic for many y

"If you're ever unhappy, you can come find me anytime. I'll always be here for you."This was Edward's promise.These were the moments when Ophelia had seen Edward smoking. Each time, it seemed to have something to do with her.She recalled the past. The way Edward always looked at her became even clearer in her mind. Back then, she might not have understood the struggle and yearning in his eyes.But now, she thought she understood.Her mind was filled with too many thoughts, and their embrace had lasted far too long.She wanted to push him away, but at that moment, he suddenly whispered in her ear, "Your first kiss wasn't him. It was me."What?Ophelia was stunned. She even thought that she'd heard wrong.When had she ever kissed Edward? How come she never knew about it?She pushed him away. Her doe eyes widened."You're lying. E-except just now, we've never kissed before!""The night before I left the country, you held onto my shirt and refused to let me leave. After you

Ophelia still remembered the melancholy and confusion that she'd seen in Edward's eyes. He had looked like a young boy who couldn't find his way home.The moment Edward saw her, he stubbed out his cigarette. Holding her hand, he led the bleary-eyed Ophelia back to the bedroom.Worried that she'd catch a cold from the freezing winds, he made her a cup of hot chamomile tea. She didn't like the taste, so he had to try his hardest to coax her into drinking it.Upset, she said to him accusingly, "Edward, I feel I'm turning into a chamomile plant."Edward laughed.He was handsome. Even when he laughed, he looked attractive. Amusement bloomed on his charming and elegant face.She complimented him dazedly, "Edward, you're really good-looking."Even though she was still mad that she'd been coaxed into drinking a whole mug of chamomile tea, she still found herself lost in his handsomeness. Edward's eyes were curved from his broad grin, and he reached out to rub her head."You're very goo
