A top-tier gigolo, teased by a cool and aloof general, turns warm.

Eugene calmed down from his initial panic.

"I don't know, the lights were very dim that night, I didn't see clearly..."

His body trembled slightly, and he bit his lower lip, stubbornly refusing to cry out.

Shi Yu keenly noticed the flaw in his words and immediately pressed for answers.

"Since you didn't see clearly, how can you be sure that insect was me?"

When confronted with Shi Yu's questioning, Eugene's expression turned extremely ugly.

He was about to retort when Curion beat him to it.

That's enough.

He slammed his fist on the coffee table, and with a loud crash, the glass shattered.

The shards pierced directly into Cullen's hand, and blood flowed down his fingers, staining the ground red.

Cullen seemed completely oblivious to the pain, his eyes fixed on Shi Yu with a cold and hostile gaze.

"Isn't it because I didn't go back to save you that you've been holding a grudge against me all this time?"

"If you want revenge, come at me. Don't mess with my brother; he's innocent."

"You're overthinking it. I've never hated you, let alone sought revenge."

Shi Yu remained calm and composed, this time addressing the viewers in the live stream.

"I swear on my insect-like nature that I have not cheated, have not abused or killed any females, and have not had a marital breakdown. Chris and I have a stable relationship and are as loving as ever."

For adult insects, self-control is a required course, and the impact of betraying the family is devastating.

The once warm home turned into a chaotic mess because of betrayal. There was no longer any trust between the husband and wife, only endless suspicion and arguments.

I ask all netizens on the entire StarNet to watch: I love Chris, and I will never marry another in this lifetime.

The barrage of comments exploded again, with any negative remarks barely emerging before being drowned out by a flood of positive ones.

Eugene, who was constantly watching Shi Yu's live stream, was furious when he saw the screen full of positive reviews.

But she still had to pretend to be wronged, choking back tears as she said, "You forced me, but now you're denying everything. I might as well die."

After saying that, he suddenly stood up and ran straight to the window.

"Eugene..."

Cullen's reaction speed was as fast as lightning, and he teleported to Eugene's side like a ghost.

With a long reach, he scooped her up and held her tightly in his arms.

"What a foolish thing you're doing!"

His eyes revealed a hint of anxiety and concern, "With your brother here, I will definitely not let you be bullied by outsiders."

Eugene's tears rolled down his cheeks, soaking Cullen's clothes.

His body trembled slightly, and he sobbed, "Brother, why did you save me? I've already lost my innocence, what's the point of living? Just let me die..."

His words were filled with despair and pain, which made the insect feel pity.

Cullen held him tightly and refused to let go.

She abruptly raised her head and roared at Shi Yu, "He has already proven his innocence with his death, how could he possibly lie?"

Why should I admit to something I didn't do?

Shi Yu's eyes were calm and his tone was cold and ruthless.

Each word was like a sharp knife, piercing straight at Eugene.

"Stop acting! A worm that truly wants to commit suicide would never make it public knowledge."

"You... are truly cold-blooded and ruthless. The Grafton family's insects are not to be trifled with."

Cullen felt a pang of heartache as he looked at Eugene, who was in tears.

Over the years, he has cut off contact with his peers in the family, and only his younger brother sends him photos and shares his daily life with him.

Now, his brother's innocence has been ruined by insects, and he cannot stand up for him.

"I bullied him? Are you blind and heartless? Or are you an accomplice?"

Shi Yu's voice was cold and full of anger.

He took two steps forward, and the entire space became heavy with his imposing presence.

"This tiny hotel, located in such a barren place, is booming with business every day, making a fortune. Don't you feel any remorse for making money this way?"

Cullen was already short-tempered, and hearing such a question only fueled his anger.

His eyes widened, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

"What do you mean?"

Shi Yu's face was equally gloomy.

His amber eyes were as cold as ice, radiating a light that sent chills down even the insects' spines.

"It means exactly what it says! If you don't believe me, go to the basement now and see what kind of hellish insect world it is."

Shi Yu's voice rose several octaves, filled with undisguised contempt and anger.

"Your good brother forced a woman into prostitution, and now he's reaping the consequences. He actually wants me to be the one to take the fall. What a pipe dream."

"Shi Yu, I never expected you to be such a worm, spouting nonsense."

What Cullen finds most intolerable is being slandered by insects.

He abruptly released Eugene, straightened his back, and looked at Shi Yu with a determined gaze.

Without backing down, he said, "We'll go to the basement right now and show everyone who's lying!"

Seeing this, Eugene quickly grabbed Cullen's sleeve.

Her face was as pale as paper, tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice trembled with a sob.

"Brother, if he doesn't want to take responsibility for me, then don't force him. The mistakes I made can be dealt with by the family, and I will not complain at all."

Cullen looked at Eugene with concern and gently patted his shoulder.

He lowered his voice to comfort her: "Don't talk nonsense. With me here, he has to marry her whether he wants to or not. This is not up to him."

Shi Yu remained unmoved by this scene.

He frowned and urged coldly.

"Alright, stop dawdling and let's go. Today I'll show you what it means to ask for a hammer and get it."

As he spoke, Shi Yu grabbed his arm without any hesitation and pulled him outwards forcefully.

When he reached the elevator, he suddenly stopped.

A slight, almost imperceptible smile appeared on his lips.

He released his spiritual power, which transformed into an invisible net that bound Cullen tightly.

Even its mouth was sealed shut, making it look just like a puppet with no ability to resist.

Next, Shi Yu dragged Cullen toward Eugene's office.

Upon arriving at the office door, I quietly hid to the side, eavesdropping on the sounds inside.

Eugene's shrill voice came from inside.

"No matter what method you use, you must stop them from going down to the basement."

"Okay, boss, should we cancel tonight's auction?"

"The auction will proceed as scheduled. I will let all the worms know the consequences of betraying me."

"But... Cullen is still at the hotel, what if he...?"

"Don't worry about him. My brother is a complete idiot. Just play the victim with him and he'll foolishly believe you..."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yu turned and glanced at Cullen, silently mocking his lack of knowledge about insects.

Cullen's face flushed red, both angry and annoyed.

If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he would never have believed it. How could his soft and sweet younger brother have become so unfamiliar?
