?Chapter 1466:


    “Okay,” Celine said with a soft, proud smile.


    Celine had always hoped Lorraine would get her act together. If she did, Celine would wee her like a daughter, because she had just one son.


    As long as Lorraine didn’t cross a line too deep to fix, the Millers would have her back—because once, Lorraine had saved her life, and that meant everything.


    The Miller family left for Morfort Restaurant in high spirits, chatting andughing as they walked alongside Christina. On the surface, everything looked warm and friendly.


    Lorraine kept a bright smile glued to her face, but underneath it burned a violent, twisted thought—she wanted Christina gone, dead if possible.


    In her mind, one fact repeated like a warning bell. If she didn’t get rid of Christina soon, the Miller family would slip entirely into Christina’s control.


    And that was something the Reynolds family—scheming, bitter, and protective of their own interests—would never tolerate.


    At Morfort Restaurant, Christina quickly picked up on the game. Lorraine and her parents kept pushing drinks at her—one toast after another. Their smiles looked polite, but their intentions were obvious from miles away. Every ss came with a n behind it.


    Christina could’ve shut it all down with one simple “no,” but she didn’t. Instead, she epted every toast, curious to see just how far their little scheme would go.


    Christina already knew the truth about the Reynolds family. They were rotten inside, through and through. The longer they lingered around the Millers, the more chaos they’d cause. A problem like that was a tumor—you removed it early, or it destroyed everything around it.


    Lorraine had saved Celine once, yes, but the Miller family had repaid that favor a hundred times over. Whatever debt existed had long ago been settled.


    The Reynolds had pushed the Millers’ patience to the edge again and again. It was only a matter of time before their own schemes blew up in their faces.


    And now, after crushing Noah as Epic and restoring the Miller family’s reputation and wealth, Christina finally had the perfect opportunity to cut the Reynolds family outpletely.


    ?????????????? ??????????????: ?????????ν?????????????


    Christina understood one thing clearly. If the Millers had to choose between her and Lorraine, they’d choose her without blinking. They had no space in their family for snakes pretending to be allies.


    So she kept a pleasant smile on her face, raising her ss again and again, pretending to be the perfect guest. Every gesture she made was intentional.


    No matter what ridiculous excuse the Reynolds family used to toast her, Christina lifted her ss without hesitation.


    The Reynolds family had no clue they weren’t the hunters—they were the prey. They didn’t realize Christina was two steps ahead of them.


    They thought they were setting a trap to get rid of her. Meanwhile, Christina was nning to wipe them out entirely, all in one clean strike.


    After dinner, they wobbled out of the private room together. Christina looked pleasantly buzzed—exactly the way Lorraine hoped to see her.


    “Christina,e with me,” Lorraine cooed, wrapping her arm through Christina’s as if they were the closest of friends. “I still have so many things I want to ask you. You’re incredible. I’d love to learn skills from you.”


    Robin opened his mouth, ready to refuse on her behalf—but Christina beat him to it. To his shock, she agreed instantly, without a moment of hesitation.
