abroad too. It's rare for me to be so eager to learn. Isn't that enough for you?"

Helen glanced awkwardly at Xavier and said, dissatisfied, "Xavier, do you really think of me like that? I'm your own sister! The reason I want to go abroad is that Yasmine actually advanced in the Dekker Competition. I feel I'm better than her. I want to study psychology Xavier knew his sister all too well; if she said she wanted to study, something was off. He didn't miss the panic in her eyes. "Tell me, what's really going on?"

"Nothing! There's nothing going on! Why are you asking me that, bro?"

"I know you best. If you don't tell me the real reason, there's no way I'm letting you go abroad," Xavier said with a stern face. Helen didn't expect her brother to see through her so quickly. She pursed her lips. "It's okay if you won't send me abroad. I'll talk to Mom. She'll definitely agree." Xavier said softly. "If you don't tell me, I guarantee Mom won't agree either."

"Why not? Xavier, I just want to study. Yasmine can go compete in the Dekker, so why can't I? I have to go abroad quickly. Who knows how long it'll be before Dalton is discovered, and once he is, there's no telling what clues might lead back to me." Xavier didn't have time to listen to her babbling. He waved his hand and focused back on the computer in front of him. "Fine, don't say anything. Just go home."

"Xavier!" Since she masterminded Yasmine's kidnapping and tried to flee abroad, her grandpa had already revoked her passport. Now, her only hope of escaping Soucrity was her brother. "I'm begging you, this time it's really serious!" Her eyes reddened as she stared intently at Xavier. "Speak" His face darkened. Judging by Helen's nervous demeanor, this incident was definitely bigger than before. It had to be something serious, given how panicked she looked.

Helen grinted her teeth and balled her fists. "I... I may have killed someone!"

"What?" Xavier jumped up, staring at Helen in disbelief. "You'd better explain everything in detail."

Helen's eyes flickered with complexity, but she chose to omit the parts that could hurt her case. "I met someone at a bar, and he tried to harass me, to take advantage of me. I lost control and stabbed him in the stomach with a knife." "A knife? Where'd you get it?"
