"Wh... what?!" Eleanor was dumbfounded, "How could this happen?"
Just when they were about to resolve the crisis targeted by the Everett Family, why did KW Group co into the picture? She clearly hadn’t done anything!
"First you offended the Everett Family, causing our Linden Family to be dismissed and targeted, and now you offended KW Group, I’ll beat this misfortune out of you!"
In his fury, Mr. Linden grabbed the feather duster nearby and lashed it harshly at Eleanor, his eyes venomous as if laced with poison.
"Ah..."
Eleanor scread incessantly from the beating, crying and begging, looking utterly disheveled.
"Dad, stop hitting ... I... I don’t even know anyone from KW Group, how could I possibly offend them?"
KW Group is one of the four top consortia, how could she dare offend them?
"They specifically nad you as the one who offended soone you shouldn’t have. Do you really think KW Group would falsely accuse you? You’re a jinx, you’ve caused my company to go bankrupt, and now the Linden Family has massive debts, how am I supposed to pay them off!!!"
Upon hearing these words, Mrs. Linden’s face instantly darkened, slapping Eleanor repeatedly.
"You’ve ruined the family company to this extent, and you still have the nerve to ask for things. You’ve made waste five million buying Chanel’s latest collection... I’ll beat this misfortune out of you!"
"Ah... stop hitting ..."
Eleanor was beaten to tears, utterly and completely disheveled, but no matter how she pleaded, they showed no rcy, hitting her even harder.
Eleanor endured the intense pain coming from her body, her heart filled with hatred.
All of this was because of that bitch Serena Everett, if it weren’t for her, how could she have fallen to such a state?
No, she couldn’t admit defeat just like that!
Eleanor bit her lip hard, her eyes darkened to the extre. She had to find a way to get Crystal Joyce to help her one more ti, or she would be finished!
...
"Stop the car."
The girl’s cool and pleasant voice sounded, her tone calm but inexplicably commanding.
The brawny n in the car were intimidated by Serena’s aura, unable to help but think silently to themselves.
No wonder she’s the captain’s sister, her presence is even more frightening than the captain’s!
"Serena, please don’t make it difficult for us. The captain told us to take you back. If we don’t complete the task the captain gave us, we’ll be punished!"
"Yes, yes, Serena, you don’t know how harsh the captain can be when he punishes people!"
"Right, right, we don’t want to be punished, Serena, please take pity on us!"
Serena: "I will explain everything to my second brother, I won’t let you guys get punished."
They all wore troubled expressions: "But..."
Before they could finish speaking, Serena spoke leisurely again, "Don’t forget, you still owe a favor."
Upon hearing this, their expressions imdiately turned solemn. They indeed owed Serena two big favors. If it weren’t for her help last ti, they wouldn’t have caught the drug lord so quickly, and with the dicine she developed, their injuries would heal much faster during missions. This was a great help to them.
"Alright, Serena, we’ll take you there! But let’s agree, you mustn’t tell the captain we took you there!"
Serena nodded, "No problem."
"Serena, you’re so generous!"
They imdiately turned the car around and headed towards the boxing gym.
Just as Serena was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Nancy Sutton called her!
"Serena, co to The Elysian Pavilion for a drink! I’ve ordered lots of alcohol, let’s have fun together..."
Hearing Nancy’s drunken voice on the other end of the line, Serena frowned, her tone filled with concern, "Nancy, are you feeling down?"
Nancy’s muffled voice ca from the other end of the line.
"Yeah, kind of! Serena, I hate him for being like a block of wood. I’m such a pretty woman with a great figure, and he just sees as a sister. I feel like biting him to death..."
Serena didn’t have a chance to speak before the call was hung up.
She frowned even more deeply, increasingly worried about Nancy, but it was too late for her to go over now...
After thinking for a mont, Serena imdiately took out her phone and called Elliot Everett.
As soon as the call connected, it was picked up imdiately.
"Serena, is there sothing you need from big brother?"
Elliot was sowhat flattered, this was the first ti his precious little sister had voluntarily called him!
"Big brother, Nancy is drunk alone at The Elysian Pavilion, I’m worried about her, but I can’t go over now, can you pick her up for ?"
Upon hearing that Nancy was drunk alone at The Elysian Pavilion, Elliot’s expression instantly beca solemn.
"Okay, Serena, I’m heading over right now."
After hanging up the phone, Elliot didn’t waste any ti, putting on his coat and heading out.
The Elysian Pavilion is a chaotic place, it’s very dangerous for a young girl to be there drunk.
"Elliot, where are you going?"
Jocelyn Sterling watched her usually composed eldest son rush off for the first ti and couldn’t help but feel curious.
"Just heading over to The Elysian Pavilion, mom, you should rest early!"
Hearing he was going to The Elysian Pavilion, Jocelyn Sterling’s curiosity diminished slightly, then she suddenly rembered sothing and winked at him.
"Elliot, I just heard that you were quite attentive to a young girl today, have you taken a liking to soone? Should mom go ask for a proposal at the Sutton Family?"
"Mom, stop talking nonsense." Elliot frowned, becoming even more serious, "She’s Serena’s friend, and I’ve already said I would never be shaless like Damian Quinn, acting like a beast!"
"Why are you bringing up my son-in-law in a bad light again?" Jocelyn Sterling was displeased, "Apart from being a bit older than Serena, there’s nothing wrong with Damian!"
Hearing this, Elliot squinted his eyes, looking at Jocelyn Sterling in disbelief.
"Mom, what kind of concoction did Damian Quinn give you? How co you’re so biased towards him in such a short ti?"
"Haven’t you heard the saying, a mother-in-law finds her son-in-law more pleasing? Besides, Damian is such an outstanding child, of course, I like him!" Jocelyn Sterling glanced at him, "But you, you’re not getting any younger, when will you bring a girlfriend ho for to see?"
"Mom, I have urgent matters, I must go, you should rest early."
Worried about Nancy Sutton at The Elysian Pavilion, Elliot hurriedly left after saying this.
"What’s so urgent that he’s in such a rush?" Jocelyn Sterling wondered aloud.
"Honey, why are you standing at the door?" Ivan Everett walked over, naturally placing his arm around her shoulder.
"Oh, it’s nothing!" Jocelyn Sterling quickly let go of her curiosity from earlier, "I was just thinking, since Damian is only a year older than Elliot and already has a girlfriend, it’s about ti we find a girlfriend for Elliot too! He’s not getting any younger, we should have him go on blind dates, we can’t delay his marriage anymore!"
