Damian Quinn raised his eyebrows slightly, clearly surprised.
Serena Everett blinked in surprise as well, then took the initiative to hold the man’s hand, smiling warmly at Elliot Everett.
"Thank you, big brother!"
Elliot Everett’s expression imdiately softened when he looked at Serena. "Serena, no need to be so formal with your big brother."
But when he turned to Damian Quinn, his face turned cold again, "I’ve only temporarily accepted you, but if you dare hurt Serena, I won’t let you off lightly!"
Of course, he still couldn’t stand this old rascal, but what could he do since his precious little sister is so fond of him!
"Big brother, rest assured, Serena is in good hands with ."
Damian Quinn raised his hand to clasp the young girl’s hand, interlocking their fingers, making a sincere and gentle promise.
Elliot Everett snorted heavily but didn’t pull them apart after all.
"Ah, the son-in-law is here!"
As soon as Jocelyn Sterling saw Damian Quinn, she warmly welcod him, completely ignoring Elliot Everett.
Elliot Everett gave Damian Quinn another frustrated look. How did this old rascal manage to win not only Serena’s favor but also that of their mother?
"Ah, Damian is here!"
Ivan Everett also ca over, grabbing him and heading towards the study.
"Co, let’s have another match!"
Ever since Damian Quinn lost their last chess match, he’s been looking for a chance to win it back.
"Tsk, you didn’t even like Damian before, and now you’re even competing with !"
Jocelyn Sterling quietly grumbled, then rembered her eldest son and eagerly asked.
"Elliot, who was that girl you took to the party yesterday? When are you going to bring her ho for to see?"
Jocelyn Sterling trusted her son’s taste; any girl he fancied wouldn’t be bad. She couldn’t wait to et her.
"By the way, how old is she?"
Elliot Everett found it hard to speak, pressing his elegant fingers against his brow. He once confidently declared he’d never be a shaless rogue like Damian Quinn, yet now here he is, unmistakably a rogue himself!
"Mom, I’ll bring her back then you’ll know."
Hearing this, Jocelyn Sterling happily chuckled, "Alright, alright, then you better bring her back soon!"
He really wanted to bring her ho quickly...
Elliot Everett let out a silent sigh, looking at the unresolved ssage on his phone, resisting the urge to ssage her again. But rembering what Damian Quinn had said earlier, he held back.
He must play it cool, can’t actively pursue her!
...
"Morning, Serena!"
As soon as Serena Everett stepped into the classroom, her classmates enthusiastically greeted her.
"Serena, I’ve got so great news for you: the Linden Family went bankrupt!"
"Serves them right! Let’s see what Eleanor Linden has to boast about now!"
"Yeah, let’s see how she bullies people with her family background now!"
Serena had known about this for a while. Even though the Quinn Family invested, facing opposition from both the Everett Family and KW Group, Linden’s bankruptcy was inevitable.
"Serena, I brought you breakfast on purpose, along with your favorite milk!"
Sumr Miller placed the breakfast in front of her. She often saw Serena drinking this brand of milk, so she rembered it silently.
"Thank you."
Serena had already eaten breakfast but took it to not disappoint her kindness.
"Serena, no need to be so formal with . If it wasn’t for you, I would still be lying in the hospital! Try the crystal shrimp dumplings I brought!"
"Serena, I brought delicious sticky rice chicken, do you want to try?"
"Serena, have a taste of the custard bun I brought!"
All her classmates eagerly wanted Serena to try the breakfast they brought. Professor Langley, carrying a textbook, walked in and couldn’t help but smile at the scene. Serena really was the class favorite!
Serena listened lazily to Professor Langley’s lecture, when she received a ssage from Steven Everett.
Second brother: [Serena, the process has been applied, soone will co to pick you up to the base in three days!]
It’s not easy to get into the base; it requires a strict process.
Serena replied: [Okay, second brother.]
Seeing Serena’s reply, a smile unconsciously appeared on Steven Everett’s face.
Even though it’s only been a day since he last saw Serena, he already missed her,
He originally wanted to pick up his precious little sister himself, but unfortunately, he had other matters to attend to, and really couldn’t find the ti.
After replying to the ssage, Serena put her phone away and started listening to the lecture seriously. She knew all of this, but just wanted to give Professor Langley so face, lest he looked all pitiful again.
Seeing Serena attentively listening, Professor Langley was delighted, talking with more enthusiasm. When the bell rang, he was reluctant to end the class.
"Looks like my teaching skills are improving!" Professor Langley was glowing with pride, his confidence soaring. "Even Serena is captivated by it! It’s not easy! I don’t want the class to end; let’s continue for a while longer!"
Serena: "..."
Next ti, she’d better just continue napping!
Professor Langley extended the class for ten whole minutes before reluctantly dismissing it.
"Serena!"
As soon as Serena walked out of the classroom, Nancy Sutton enthusiastically dashed over, snuggling into her arms.
Serena raised her hand to pinch her little face, speaking gently, "Nancy, how long do you plan to ignore my big brother? I see he’s been worried about this every day."
After all, he’s her big brother, and she felt a bit soft-hearted watching him.
"He hasn’t been reaching out to first at all!" Nancy got angry at the ntion, "Is this how you pursue soone? No way, I need to stimulate him a little!"
Nancy’s eyes twinkled as she intimately linked her arm with hers, "Serena, you’ll help , right?"
Serena was happy to indulge her, "Of course."
"Hehe, I knew you’d be the best to , Serena!" Nancy’s smile was even brighter, "Co on, let’s go to The Gilded Crumb for a al!"
They just took a few steps when Gael Quinn suddenly popped out of nowhere.
"Sis-in-law, where are you two going? Count in! With around, I promise the al will be tastier..."
Serena massaged her temples with her delicate fingertips, finally understanding why Damian Quinn wasn’t fond of him; he was really noisy!
"Count in, sis-in-law! Just let join, please..."
Seeing Serena unmoved, Gael relentlessly pleaded.
"Sis-in-law, you helped out big ti before and I haven’t even thanked you, let treat you today!"
If it weren’t for Serena last ti, he would have almost lost 5% of The Quinn Group’s shares, which, if his brother found out, he’d be done for!
