Lately, Helma had been swamped with the Wilson collaboration, and then there was Neil's engagement to deal with.Since she got back from Pacific City, she had only managed to see Old Madam Guller twice.The voice on the phone switched, and Old Madam Guller's voice came through. "Hemmy, is that my He
In Helma's cozy workshop at King Residence, Alan was all business, fine-tuning every piece of equipment.Helma rested her chin in her hand, sitting at the livestream desk.She had everything set up for the stream well in advance, but Alan was taking extra care today.Helma's gaze flickered briefly.
Helma cast a glance toward the door, catching sight of Jade on the couch, still poring over a list.She set her chopsticks aside and leaned in, her voice a hushed tone, "Bro, don't sweat it. That creep's only after the book. As long as he hasn't cracked our fortress at King Residence, I doubt he'll
Cole had been lounging around Guller Mansion all day, and Helma had kept Old Madam Guller company in the living room until lunchtime.Once they finished eating, Old Madam Guller excused herself for a nap.Now it was just Helma and Cole, and the silence was kind of awkward.Helma glanced at the maid.
Helma let out a sigh, "Look, whether you tell Mom and Dad or not, I've got to meet this mystery guy before we go any further."The last thing she wanted was for her little sister to fall for the wrong person.After a brief silence, Ximena's shy voice floated from the phone. "Hey, you've met him befo

Days flew by, and before Helma knew it, four had zipped past.Life for Helma was pretty straightforward these days: clock in at Westwood Joint Department when the sun was up, and when it dipped down, she'd be back at King Residence, kicking back and occasionally calming her BFF's pre-engagement jitt
Helma spun on her heel, ready to walk away, but Owen caught her wrist with a firm grip. She faced him again and was met with a gravity in Owen's eyes she had never seen before."I get it, you don't trust me. With my track record, I can't blame you." Dipping his hand into his pocket, Owen fished out
With everyone else keeping mum, Silver Obsidian cut to the chase, "We'll go with Helma's plan."For six months straight, Serena had practically lived in the lab. At first, Starlight Blossom did not seem to do much. Everyone was on edge, wondering if it would make any difference at all. Then, in the
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
Hort watched her walk away, a storm of emotions on his face.Ever since she joined the research center, he had seen Wendy as this super-capable girl with a heart of gold.Whenever the team hit a wall with the experiments or the data just would not play nice, Wendy was the one who would spark up the
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
