Brian''s expression darkened, his eyes shing with something almost sinister. "No matter what, I won''t let N inherit the Nixons."


    Emerald better be using N as a mere pawn. If he found out she was seriously considering making N the sessor, he wouldn''t hesitate to take action—even if it meant turning against his own mother.


    Delia failed to notice the change in Brian''s demeanor and nodded vigorously. "I''m with you. There''s no way we can let N take over!"


    She had never hated anyone as much as she hated N. Just thinking about the way men—especially the one man she had secretly admired for years—had looked at N atst night''s banquet made her seethe with jealousy. She wished N would just disappear.


    Brian smirked. "Good. That''s what I wanted to hear. From now on, she''s ourmon enemy, and we need to work together against her."


    Delia huffed. "Agreed."


    Brian, seeing no real n forming in Delia''s mind, inwardly sneered-idiot.


    Outwardly, he simply said, "I heard Mom hired a private tutor to teach her how to run a business. She never did that for you, did she?"


    Delia''s expression darkened further, her jealousy ring. "Mom is so biased!"


    "Exactly. So, you need to sabotage her lessons. If she actually learns how to manage thepany, Kajer Tech will truly be hers," Brian instigated.


    He had initially believed Emerald was only using N as a shield. But after handing over Kajer Tech, doubt crept into his mind.


    What if she really did intend to make her the sessor?


    Maybe everything she''d told him before about using N as a ceholder-had been a lie.


    Delia was quiet for a moment, then said, "Fine. I''ll handle it. But what about you? Are you really going to just sit back and do nothing?"


    Brian stiffened for half a second before covering it up. "I have bigger things to take care of. I can''t waste my time on something this small. This is your responsibility."


    "Got it," Delia replied.


    As the siblings plotted against N she was fast asleep at the destin the dream.

    In her dream, she was back in Saintornia, reunited with Damon and Mason. The three of them were living happily together, a real family atst.


    The dream was so perfect, so warm, she never wanted to wake up.


    But then a rhythmic tapping echoed in her ears, like someone drumming their fingers on a table.


    N jolted awake, blinking groggily. As her surroundings came into focus, her heart sank.


    She was still in the estate''s study.


    For a brief moment, she had truly believed she was home again.


    A deep voice sounded above her. "Ms. Kinsey, we meet again. What a coincidence."


    The voice was familiar. N looked up, and her eyes widened in surprise. "Andre?"


    Andre smiled. "It''s me."


    He was dressed casually today, exuding a rxed, almostzy charm.


    N nced around, expecting to see someone else. "You''re my private tutor?" Andre nodded. "That''s right."


    "So... you knewst night that I was going to be your student?" N asked.


    "That question is personal," Andre
