The guy was Wilson.Helma blinked in surprise.Wilson looked at her with a smile that could melt ice. "Mr. Guller, let's talk. I'm thinking we should be friends."He then gave Helma a warm, friendly smile that felt like sunshine."Miss King, my wife is upstairs, and she's still getting used to Somer

Madam Guller got her hands on the phone but was stumped when it came to picking a username."What should I call myself?" she asked Rana.Meanwhile, Rana was busy trading jabs with Owen in the stream's chat, not missing a beat.[My name's Little Witch Ran, and guess what? My grandma's on here too, ro
Jade gave a nod of agreement.They reached the car, and Jade steadied Helma as she climbed in.Helma let out a half-hearted chuckle. "Mom, it's just a routine check-up, not like I'm laid up with a broken leg or anything.""Don't you start with me!" Jade shot back, half-serious, half-joking.Helma qu

During her month off, Helma took a break from the daily preschool runs and whisked her kids away on a travel spree.The trip was not without its scares—Serena had a severe bout of illness.Helma was prepared, yet the sudden severity of the attack caught her off guard.Without a second thought, she r
Under the questioning eyes of the crowd, Helma fired up her laptop and plugged in a USB stick.The video started playing on the massive screen.The timestamp in the corner showed it was from two nights ago.Usually, the lab was locked up tight after hours, and by eight or nine, the research center w

The poor thing's symptoms were straight out of a horror flick: muscles clenching like crazy, nerves on fire, bleeding inside, gasping for air, and foaming at the mouth. Some of them even had their hearts stop cold turkey.According to the timeline, the rat had been juiced up with three rounds of Sta
With the report out of the way, the experiment team kicked things into high gear to wrap up their project.The meticulously calculated data was in, and the verdict was clear: Starlight Blossom's effects were rock-solid stable. The only thing left for the lab mice was one final shot.The brain trust
"Come on, you think the boss is scatterbrained like you? Someone totally did this on purpose!" "Who would do something that evil?!" "Guess we're gonna have to push back the presentation." Everyone looked like they had lost their best friend, except Wendy. She had this worried frown, but her eyes w
After pulling two all-nighters, Helma had the report materials ready to go.The research center was deserted.She stretched, yawned, and glanced at the clock. One AM.She powered down her computer and left, still yawning.Once she was gone, a sneaky figure slipped into the office...Deputy Commander
