“They’re in Moserton. It’s a little far from Aetheris, but close to Kingnd. They’re one of the biggest giants in Moserton.”
Connor nced at Steven, who seemed at a loss, and answered for him.
After finding out everything was connected to Jolie, Connor had dug into her background.
<i>Moserton</i>…
Hearing that name, Tess fell into thought.
Moserton was the political heart of Crorus. Business wasn’t especially developed there, but anyone who could be called a “giant” there didn’t just have money–they also had endless tangled connections behind them.
<i>No </i><i>wonder </i><i>Jolie </i><i>was </i>so <i>arrogant</i><i>–</i><i>she </i><i>even </i><i>imed </i><i>she </i><i>could </i><i>force </i><i>Raven </i><i>out </i><i>of Crorus</i>.
The atmosphere around the hospital bed instantly grew heavy.
“Let’s not think about that for now.”
Tess changed the subject.
When trouble came, she’d deal with it.
“La’s about to wake up. Who wants to make today’s baby food for her?”
Tess lifted a packet of rice cereal and joked, trying to lighten the mood.
“I will!”
“I’ve taken care of La more. I should do it.”
Abel and Connor spoke at the same time, one eager, one gentle.
Tess looked at the two hands reaching toward her, but passed neither of them.
Instead, she raised her eyes to Steven, who stood quietly in the corner.
“Steven, could you help?”
Steven looked up, clearly surprised.
But he didn’t refuse. He took it with a ttered expression.
“Sure.”
Out of everyone there, he’d had the least contact with La. Feeling nervous, he clumsily spilled a bit of the cereal while mixing it.

Tess only smiled as she watched. She didn’t say a word.
And as soon as Steven finished, La just happened to wake up.
As expected, the little girl waved her arms in the air the moment she woke and started crying for food.
Steven spoon–fed her little by little, watching the little bundle go from fussy to content. Her thickshes fluttered, and she looked like a cute little doll.
Connor watched quietly.
All of a sudden, he thought that if he and Tess really had no future, then being La’s godfather someday wouldn’t be so bad either.
The mood in the hospital room slowly softened. Even Raven, who was usually restless, calmed down as she watched the warm scene.
At the Embers‘ apartment.
Crash!
Tania was cleaning when she identally knocked a small ss bottle off the table.
The bottle rolled to the floor, and the liquid inside let off a faint blue glow.
Tania didn’t dare to look closely. Her face went pale as panic surged through her. She couldn’t imagine what kind of inhuman punishment she was about to face.
The sound of shattering ss also caught Shannon’s attention as she was changing clothes in the bedroom.
“Did you break my stuff?”
She didn’t explode like before. Instead, she stared at Tania with a dark, vicious look.
That made it even more terrifying. Tania swallowed hard, her whole body shaking so badly that she could barely stand.
“I … Ma’am…”
Smack!
A sharp pnded on Tania’s face.
“You going to defy me too?”
Shannon’s eyes looked as if they’d been drowned in ink, pitch–ck.
She ground her teeth, ring at Tania like a wolf stalking in a dark forest, ready to tear open its prey’s throat and drain it dry in the next second.

Tania was so frightened that she dropped the broom and fell to her knees with a loud thud.
“Ma’am! I didn’t do it on purpose!”
Shannon’s face was twisted with anger.

She had bought that when she went to Henry’s factoryst time and managed to get her hands on it.
This had been the second bottle.
“Mom? What happened?”
Nadine had heard the noise too. She came out of her room and saw the tense scene in the living room.
She walked over but stopped short, infected by the atmosphere and afraid to get involved.
“Tania, clean that up.”
Nadine gathered her courage, gave instructions, then let out a quiet breath before walking up <i>to </i>Shannon.
“Mom? What broke? I’ll go buy it for you this afternoon.”
She stopped half a step away from Shannon.
She didn’t know why, but Shannon already seemed different since before the factory–or maybe it was after.
Even the warmth that used to draw her close was gone, reced by something dark and oppressive.
She didn’t dare act intimate like she used to.
“Buy it? How are you gonna buy it?”
Shannon snapped, shooting Nadine a vicious look.
She turned and stormed back into her room, mming the door shut.
She ripped apart the clothes she’d just changed into, screaming as she tore them to shreds.
The noise was loud and frightening.
Nadine and Tania froze outside the door, listening.
“Throw it away.”
Nadine frowned and ordered, her brow twitching.
Pressing her fingers to her temples, she forced down the unease in her chest before going back to her study to work.
