Noelle knew it at Bennett wanted to talk to her, it couldn’t be for anything good,
Internally roasting Bennett, Noelle stareil at lis ever smiling face and nearly refused him on the spot–just to wipe that smug smile off. But then she remembered Brandon’s warning, always comply with Bennett’s respuest
So, though she puffed her cheeks in silent protest, the still muttered. “Alright, I got in”
Jou then. El leaned over curiously and asked, “Hemmett, Noelle, what are you two whispering about?“
“Uh, nothing important…“ Noelle was trying to find an excuse, since the lab
the lab stuff was top secret.
But before she could think of one, Bennett casually slung on arm over her shoulder and smiled at Eli. “Ewas just telling her that we’re going on a
“What A date!? Eh nearly choked, his eyes wide as suicers,
He glanced between Bennett and Noselle, must already racing with wild thoughts.
Noelle, equally shocked, shot Bennett a “what the hell is wrong with your look.
Adriel finally spoke up. “Bennett, stop teasing them. Can’t you see Eli and Noelle both took it seriously?”
Bennent couldn’t hold back a laugh. “Didn’t think Ell would still be this gullible at his age.”
Then, as if nothing happened, he smiled at Eli again. “Just kidding. I wanted to discuss some medical stuff with Noelle since we’re both in the same field That sall
Eli forced a smile, though his lips twitched. “This guy really has no boundaries. Everyone thinks he’s some gentleman, but they clearly haven’t seen his true color”
At that moment, Elsie quietly tugged on Noelle’s sleeve and, in her still–stilted speech, said, “Noelle… I want to 100.
Noelle turned to her in surprise, just as Bennett leaned in again with a grin. “Oh! You want to come! Of course, the more the merrier
“No” Noelle cut him off without hesitation, her tone suddenly sharp. “Elsie doesn’t know anything about medicine. It’s pointless for her to go. Heiment, E’ll come with you. Don’t drag Elsie into this”
She was already suspicious of Bennett’s intentions. He probably suspected that Elsie, like her, was a transformer. If he got his hands on Elsie, he might try to experiment on her too. But she wasn’t from their lab, IT Serpaton–Mocria Alliance found out, they’d retaliate without hesitation.
Bennett always looked polished and composed, but he was easily the most dangerous one among her brothers.
Whenever Noelle was around Bennett, she always felt like she had to stay ten steps ahead.

Bennett noticed she was getting riled up and simply smiled again. Wrapping an arm loosely around her neck, he teased, “Aww, didn’t know y were so possessive. Trying to keep me all to yourself? Fine, I’ll behave. Just you and me”
Noelle really wanted to punch ham right then.
Meanwhile, Elur narrowed her eyes slightly. She might not remember her past, but she knew she and Noelle were the same kind
And this mun–Bennett–he felt wrong. There was something predatory about him, like he wanted to strip away their secrets.
She wanted to kill harm
Seraing a sudden wave of murderous intent, Noelle turned and looked sharply at Elsie.
The moment their eyes met, thie froze. The killing aura vanished Instantly.
Euer Nuelle asked, puzzled.
She was sure she just felt a surge of lethal intent from the girl.
Bennett, standing close enough, had also served it. His expression cooled slightly,
“So lawas right. Elsir muy look innocent, laut slar might be even more dangerous than Noelle

The air grew tense between the three of them
Eli, completely in the dark, looked at the three of them exchanging intense stares and blurted out, “Hey, what are you all staring at Aren’t we here
That broke the silence.
Bennett casually smiled again and said, “You’re right. Le
Let’s car
He let go of Noelle, and just like that, the pressure was gone
Dinner resumed smoothly after that
After the meal, Noelle followed Bennett to his car. Before they left, she poked her head out the window and waved at the others.
“Adriel Eli, Elsie–we’re heading out first!”
“Be careful on the road.” Adriel said,

“Adriel we’ll see you later,” Bennett added with a smile.
“Alright” Adriel nodded.

́s car pulled away, Adriel turned to take Elsie home..
But Elsie didn’t move. She stood there, staring at the road, deep in thought.
“Else!” Adriel called again.
She blinked, looked up at him, then immediately stepped forward and hugged his waist tightly. With her face buried in his chest, she mumbled. “Adriel… that man isn’t a good person.
Adriel Frove for a second.
He instinctively held her back and asked gently. “Who do
you can
“Your brother,” she said clearly, word by word.
“You mean, Bennet? Adriel blinked in surprise.
He hadn’t expected that. Bennett was generally well–liked and respected. That Elsie who rarely voiced opinions–would call him a bad perso was… unexpected
Adriel chuckled, trying to ease the mood. He patted her head and said, “Bennett’s just more calculating. But he means well. He was just joking
But Elie shook her head stubbornly. Her brow furrowed.
“No he’s bad. He wants to hurt Noelle
