She raised an eyebrow, enunciating every word. “Miss. Drama. Queen p>
Black Jack shook her head, her eyes shining brightly. “Alright, I’ll ‘return to the country’ tomorrow. Speaking of which… I really miss Mom’s cooking, and all the incredible food here p>
Just talking about it made Black Jack swallow hard.
The more she spoke, the more she craved it!
Hearing Black Jack’s words.
Serena suddenly narrowed her eyes, a playful glint appearing in them.
She stroked her chin, staring intently at Black Jack. “My mom keeps asking when you’re coming back, and I get that. She genuinely adores you p>
“But… Julian has also been subtly trying to figure out when you’re returning. That is incredibly interesting p>
Black Jack blinked, looking utterly bewildered. “Huh? Julian asked when I was coming back too? Is there something wrong with that p>
Serena leaned in closer. “Since when did you and my brother… get so close p>
“Are we close?” Black Jack scratched the back of her head. “I don’t know. He just took me around Vaelion City a few times to eat at some hidden food spots p>
“Honestly though, Julian is amazing! I can’t believe he knows about all those secret foodie havens p>
Black Jack blinked again. “Does… that make us close p>

She literally looked like she lived by the motto: ‘As long as you feed me good food, we’re blood brothers p>
Serena’s mouth twitched.
If she wasn’t mistaken, her brother, the eternal bachelor who was harder to crack than solid iron, had actually caught feelings.
But unfortunately for him.
The object of his affection was this untamed powerhouse with a ridiculously one- track mind for food.

A brutally long road to romance.
Getting Black Jack to realize his feelings would be harder than climbing a sheer cliff.
Serena sighed in defeat. “Fine. Just pack your things and get back here. Whatever you want to eat from now
on, just have my brother takes
you p>
“Awesome p>
Black Jack’s eyes sparkled like diamonds. “I’m going straight to Juliaff tomorrow! That incredible smoked brisket he took me to last
time was unreal p>
“Babe, next time I go to that BBQ joint with him, I’ll definitely bring you back a plate! No! Two plates p>

The second round would commence the day after.
This rest day was meant for the teams to recuperate and decompress their tightly wound nerves.
But for Bianca Doyle.
It was a waking nightmare.
She had suffered a catastrophic humiliation right at the very beginning of the tournament.

She had single-handedly ruined the Doyle family’s entire plan.
Her father was going to kill her.
And that psycho, Sebastian Doyle, wouldn’t spare her either.
She didn’t dare return to the Doyle family estate.
She wanted to find a hotel to hide in and wait for the storm to pass.
But she had barely made it away from the arena.
When several of the Doyle family’s bodyguards cut off her path. “Miss, Mr. Doyle demands you return immediately p>
