?Chapter 956:


    Meanwhile, Trinity’s shock twisted into bitter envy. Her eyes locked on the kissing couple, red and wet with unshed tears. Her fists clenched so hard that her nails dug deep into her palms, the sting lost in her heartbreak.


    Why? She had grown up beside Cole in the Evans household, yet never once had she won his heart. First Paige, then Elliana, next Wanda, and now Lh… When would it finally be her turn?


    But no one spared a nce for Trinity’s silent pain. The crowd was far too busy recording, whispering in surprised voices.


    Among the crowd stood Quentin, his posture as graceful as ever, but his eyes gave him away. Defeat lingered there, his fists tight at his sides, jaw set in quiet tension.


    Cole’s power in Ublento was unmatched, his name enough to stir endless gossip, so to see him at Ublento Medical University kissing a woman in broad daylight? It was bound to ignite a storm. And within minutes, it did. Social media exploded. Feeds flooded with photos and videos, each repost spreading the fire faster. The story went viral with the force of a tidal wave.


    Inevitably, the chaos spilled into the Evans family group chat. The younger family members wasted no time, forwarding links and screenshots. Work was forgotten, lectures ignored—the group chat had everyone’s full attention.


    “Okay, what’s going on here? ”


    I thought Lh was supposed to be this terrifying she-devil. Why is Cole kissing her like that?”


    “Yeah, I’m confused too. Does anyone know the truth?”


    “Oh, I get it now! Cole told Taylor not to chase after Lh because he wanted her for himself! He didn’t want thepetition!”


    “Wow. So much for my image of Cole as this noble, untouchable figure. Turns out he just used tricks to shut Taylor down. Never saw thating.”


    “Exactly! So much for his usual poker face. He’s just human after all, with the same desires as everyone else. Ha!”

    “Hold up. If Cole’s into Lh, fine. But why did Jason also tell Taylor to back off?”


    “Uh oh… Crazy thought here—but what if both Cole and Jason like Lh? Could this turn into a battle between them?”


    The words dropped like a stone, and silence spread across the group. Cole was the current family head. Jason was their shield, the warrior who kept them safe.


    If Cole and Jason shed, it could tear the family apart.


    “I swear I just felt a chill. My heart’s racing. I can’t breathe.”


    “Same here. I’ll have nightmares about this for sure.”


    “Hey, if it came down to Cole against Jason, whose side would you take?”


    “That’s an impossible choice! Cole is our leader, a living legend. Jason is our protector, our security guardian. Choosing between them? I couldn’t.”


    “Exactly! I can’t even imagine it. If they fought over a woman, the damage would be unbearable. I don’t think I could live through it.”


    The Evans family group chat erupted intoplete pandemonium within moments. Tension crackled through every message, transforming what should have been a casual conversation into something resembling a military crisis briefing.<fn5cb6> Chapters first released on F?ndNovel</fn5cb6>
