Don't even think about crossing his line. Paul finally understood why he had cback. Maybe it was just to say these words to them. "Rebel!" Paul couldn't hold back his anger anymore. He grabbed a magazine from the coffee table and hurled it at Ray.

Ray didn't move an inch-let the magazine hit him if it must-but seeing Brianna charging towards him, he reached out and caught it. Otherwise, the magazine aimed at his chest would have hit Brianna right in the forehead.
With a nervous laugh, Brianna said, "Uncle, why are you so angry? Brother's finally cback after so long. Can't we just talk things out?" Paul's gaze was deep and unyielding as he looked at Ray. The outburst had dissipated sof his anger, but his expression was still severe. "Your grandfather is upstairs. It's rare for you to cback, go see him." Ray let out a cold scoff, not bothering to respond, and turned to leave. The magazine traced a perfect arc in the air before landing on the floor with a slap.
"Look at what Ray has beclawless. He doesn't even respect you as his father!" Hudson added fuel to the fire, as usual.
Whenever Ray was around, the Brimer family was always in chaos, something Brianna had grown used to. She went upstairs, returned to her room, took a bath, and lay in bed, her mind filled with Flora's performance at the competition today. Despite her reluctance to admit it, Flora was truly impressive. She even felt a bit of admiration for her.

Selene wore a lab coat, with the cold machinery of the laboratory in the background. "Hey, what's up?" "Sis, you spent stin Cedarvale, right? You know Flora, don't you?" "Yeah, what about her?" Brianna recounted her recent encounters with Flora.
"She's a respectable adversary," Selene said after listening, taking off her gloves and tossing them into a medical waste bin. Striding out of the lab, she added, "Hey, don't mess with her. You can't handle it." It was the sthing she had told Ray. And Brianna knew her sister-always a genius, always arrogant, never putting anyone in her sight-actually considered Flora a worthy opponent. Brianna was somewhat shocked. Her voice a bit dry, she asked, "Sis, when are you coming back?" "Once I finish this experiment, I'll be back." "Okay." At the Grandview Restaurant, Flora and Connor were having dinner together. After the meal was served, Flora picked up her phone to take pictures. Connor, noticing this, straightened his already stiff back even more, without showing any emotion. Flora caught his action and gave him a puzzled look. She wasn't even photographing him. Why was he so tense? She took a few pictures of the food and posted them to the family chat. In the chat, there were only Raul, Henrik, and her. After posting the pictures, she typed: Your darling has eaten on time, no worries! Just as she sent it, she heard Connor ask, "Are you posting on social media?" "Huh?"
She wasn't. Blinking, Flora was a bit slow to react. The content is on novelenglish.net!
"Let's eat," Connor said quietly, m serving her food. The content is on E.com!
Seeing him seemingly a bit disappointed, Flora suddenly o,m understood. Leaning forward, she got closer to Connor, her breath on his face. "Connor, do you... wantto post on social media?"
