"Cassia, are your hands okay? Just hang in there, the servant has already been sent to get so burn ointnt. Serena wouldn’t deliberately burn you, there must be so misunderstanding!"
Ian and Niall hadn’t seen what happened earlier, but they were adamant in their belief in Serena.
"Fourth brother, fifth brother, are you saying I falsely accused my sister?" Listening to them defend Serena, Cassia felt intense hatred inside, but her face showed deeper grievance.
"That’s not what we an!" Seeing her like this, Ian and Niall beca anxious, "We didn’t say you deliberately accused Serena; what we an is there must be so misunderstanding!"
"Cassia, think carefully. Was it really Serena who burnt you?" Elliot squinted his long, dark eyes at her, his gaze cold and oppressive. "Or was it that you didn’t hold it steady yourself?"
Cassia knew Elliot wasn’t as easily fooled as Ian or Niall. Under his intimidating gaze, it felt like her small sches were all seen through.
She couldn’t help but tremble in fear and took the opportunity to step down, "Big brother, after thinking it over, it was indeed my own careless slip. I didn’t hold it steady, it has nothing to do with my sister!"
"See, I said there must be so misunderstanding, Serena would never burn you!"
Niall and Ian said in unison, their eyes expressed a pure silliness.
Elliot looked at his two dumb brothers with a face showing disdain, then, speaking with implied aning, said
"The most important thing in a family is harmony; don’t engage in these little tricks to disturb the peace at ho."
Cassia’s face turned pale instantly. She wasn’t foolish; she could tell Elliot was warning her secretly.
Serena, however, was in a good mood, curling her red lips as she ntally awarded Elliot a few more points.
This cheap big brother was actually quite good, she quite liked him!
Jocelyn was just standing next to Cassia earlier and had clearly seen her little trick.
Clearly, it was Cassia who accidentally let go of the teacup and burnt herself, so why accuse Serena of burning her?
The more Jocelyn thought about it, the more shocked she felt. The previous incidents continued to replay in her mind—stealing Serena’s jade pendant, plagiarizing Serena’s compositions, and now accusing Serena of burning her...
Cassia was raised by her side; Jocelyn was unwilling to believe she was a child of bad character.
But ti after ti, the truth appeared before her, leaving her no choice but to accept and stop deceiving herself into believing Cassia was not intentional.
Jocelyn’s gaze on Cassia changed, and her heart felt increasingly cold.
She treated her like her own daughter, loved her for so many years, but she harbored such malice and hostility toward her precious daughter...
Jocelyn pulled Ivan into a room secretly to talk.
"Husband, I saw clearly just now, it was Cassia herself who let go of the cup and burnt herself, then blad it on Serena! I can’t believe she can’t stand Serena that much!"
If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have believed Cassia would do such a thing!
Jocelyn’s face showed pain, but she still spoke firmly, "Husband, how about we send Cassia back to the old house? The old man has always been very fond of her, and staying by his side won’t be worse than staying with us!"
Serena has suffered for so many years while Cassia enjoyed eighteen years of our family’s love; sending her to the old house now doesn’t do her any injustice!
Having worked so hard to find Serena, she didn’t want Serena to suffer any more grievances!
"Don’t be upset, darling!" Ivan gently comforted her, "I’m with you all the way. We’ll talk to Cassia in a while, and send her to the old house..."
They’re actually planning to send her away!
Realizing sothing was off, Cassia secretly followed them and overheard all their conversation, her expression imdiately turned ominous.
They had clearly said earlier that even if Serena returned, they would treat her as their own daughter, yet now that Serena had only been back for such a short while, they wanted to send her away!
Originally, she felt a bit guilty for drugging her, but now she decided to increase the dosage of Centella. She had to strike first, to kick that bitch Serena out of the Everett Family!
...
The next day.
Nancy knew Elliot was accompanying her to the mall to choose a gift, she insisted on tagging along with Serena.
Of course, Serena wouldn’t refuse her and agreed after talking to Elliot.
Nancy: [Serena, you’re the best, mwah!]
Nancy: [Serena, I’ll wait for you at the mall, okay?]
After replying to her, Serena opened the chat with the sly fox and sent him a ssage.
[I have sothing today, no need to pick up.]
When Damian received the young girl’s ssage, his eyes darkened, the pressure around him dropped instantly, sending chills around.
"Damian, that expression, tsk tsk tsk, did you make the missus mad, and now she’s ignoring you?" Seth, upon walking into his office, couldn’t help but tease seeing Damian’s terrifying look.
"Go away."
Damian’s face was ice-cold, clearly showing he was in a bad mood.
Seth dared not test the limits of his patience further.
"Damian, even if the missus doesn’t have ti for you, you still got brothers with you! Since she’s not available now, we bros should hang out. I’ll contact Elliot now!"
After saying so, Seth imdiately ssaged Elliot.
But faced a harsh rejection from Elliot.
[No ti, busy accompanying my sister.]
"Damn, really ditching bros for his sister!" Seth couldn’t help but lant, "Didn’t think Elliot would be such a sis-con, ever since his sister returned, all he thinks about is her!"
"Tsk, Damian, good thing you’re breaking off the engagent with Miss Sienna. Otherwise, she’d have five brothers, who could handle that?"
Not to ntion the other four, just dealing with Elliot alone was quite a headache.
Seth’s tone was filled with sympathy, "Tsk tsk tsk, whoever becos Elliot’s brother-in-law is really unlucky!"
"Out."
Damian couldn’t be bothered to listen to his nonsense, all those things were irrelevant to him; apart from his young girl, he had no interest in any other woman’s affairs.
"Isn’t it interesting that Elliot dotes on his sister so much, aren’t you curious?" Seth chuckled frivolously, "Why don’t we go take a look, Damian?"
"No."
Without even lifting his head, Damian continued handling the files in his hands and refused decisively, "My little girl would be upset if she found out."
The only ti he’d et the Everett Family’s Miss Sienna would be for breaking the engagent.
"Damn!" Seth couldn’t help but exclaim, "Damian, you’re practically the role model of the gentleman class now!"
But since Elliot was now back, it seed the marriage between the Quinns and Everetts would soon be called off!
