?<strong>Chapter 771:</strong>


    Her fingers curled slightly at her sides, a quiet frustration simmering beneath her calm exterior.


    The way he had looked at her kept reying in her mind.


    That jerk. Losing his memory was one thing, but did he also lose his ability to see through deceit?


    He couldn’t even recognize the maniptive mother-daughter duo wrapped around him, yet he had the audacity to look at her with suspicion?


    “Carrie, what’s wrong?”


    Arion remained oblivious, his mind still upied with the uing banquet.


    But Kyson noticed the flicker of something in her expression—something distant, something unresolved.


    “It’s nothing.” Carrie forced herself back to the present moment, pushing away the storm of thoughts threatening to overwhelm her.


    The day dragged on, her mind wandering despite her best efforts to focus.


    After sharing dinner with her family, she retreated to the solitude of her bedroom.


    Severalpany proposals from Camille demanded her attention.


    Carrie threw herself into the work until exhaustion finally imed her.


    The following day, Arion apanied Carrie to Kendall’s residence for her formal initiation ceremony as a new student.


    Under Kendall’s watchful eye, Carrie performed multiple pieces. Her mentor identified areas for improvement and assigned practice materials.


    Back home, Carrie sought refuge in her bedroom, losing herself in endless piano exercises.


    The music became her sanctuary, a shield against thoughts of Kristopher’s memory loss and her own tendency to worry about him. It also provided a convenient excuse to keep her family from worrying about her state of mind.


    That particr day, Jenesis had time off work.


    The cold rain tapping against the windows prompted her to suggest taking Carrie to an indoor private hot spring for rxation.


    Having immersed herself in music for days, Carrie felt her spirits lifting and weed Jenesis’s suggestion.


    The exclusive facility offered private suites, each featuring its own pool filled with natural mountain spring water. Modern amenities included projectors and sound systems for entertainment.


    After soaking for a while, an attendant summoned Jenesis for her scheduled skin rejuvenation treatment.


    She emerged from the water in a striking red one-piece swimsuit.
