"All these years you’ve deceived so cruelly!"
Ivan Everett’s eyes were bloodshot, filled with hatred as he looked at Master Everett.
"Ivan..."
Now truly frightened, Master Everett, who had lost his son and had his granddaughter disgraced and committed to a ntal institution, had only Ivan Everett left to rely on.
Now Ivan Everett knew everything and hated him to the bone; he was completely finished!
"Shut up! You don’t deserve to call my na!" The hatred in Ivan Everett’s eyes was almost overflowing, "I will make sure you receive your deserved retribution!"
It was over...
Everything was over!
Master Everett felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his whole body cold, casting a resentful look at Jude Ford, wishing to tear her apart.
"How on earth did you manage to uncover all this? I made sure everything was handled cleanly; it shouldn’t have been discovered!"
Serena Everett’s red, wet lips curved into a mocking smile, "Isn’t it as easy as having hands?"
Master Everett was an extrely old-fashioned and conservative person. Cassia Everett had already been disgraced in Imperia, and based on Master Everett’s character, to save face, he would never acknowledge Cassia Everett as his granddaughter again.
Yet Master Everett repeatedly pressured Ivan Everett to bring Cassia back from the ntal institution, and she sensed sothing was amiss. How could he favor the second branch of the family so much when they were both his sons? It just didn’t add up.
So she looked into it slightly, and unexpectedly uncovered such an old story.
She hadn’t planned to reveal it so soon, but since he insisted on courting death, she wouldn’t hold back.
"Thank you, Serena, for letting Dad know the truth!" Ivan Everett said, then looked coldly at Master Everett, "Dad will handle this, and Serena, no one will bully you ever again!"
Serena obediently nodded and stepped aside, letting Ivan Everett seek vengeance himself.
Jocelyn Sterling pulled Serena back to the second floor to rest, suddenly recalling sothing and couldn’t help but sigh, "No wonder we were so good to Cassia Everett, but she still couldn’t be brought around. She truly embodies Master Everett’s nature of repaying kindness with enmity!"
"Serena, fortunately, Mom found you! From now on, we can live happily as a family, without anyone getting in our way!"
...
Dragon’s Bay Villa.
"Why can’t I reach the organization yet..."
Crystal Joyce’s face grew increasingly unsightly, her usually clear, innocent eyes now filled with extre malice.
Since The Netherworld Syndicate was heavily damaged last ti, she had been unable to contact the organization! She still wanted to use its power to eliminate that vile Serena!
"Miss Crystal, have you retired for the night?"
Hearing the sudden knock on the door, Crystal Joyce quickly concealed her malicious expression, returning to her usual innocent and kind deanor before opening the door.
"I haven’t gone to bed yet, Silas, is there sothing you need?"
Silas’s cold gaze softened when he saw her, "Miss Crystal, I just got information from a familiar Hidden Guard that Serena and Master Damian’s engagent party has been called off!"
This was indeed good news!
Hearing this, Crystal Joyce’s lips curled imperceptibly upwards, her heart filled with joy, yet she feigned an expression of disbelief.
"Master Damian and Serena seed so in love; why would they suddenly call off the engagent party?"
Silas sneered disdainfully, "Miss Crystal, I’ve long told you, Master Damian’s interest in Serena was just a fleeting fancy. You’re the one truly suited for Master Damian!"
Crystal Joyce was extrely satisfied with these words, but outwardly she feigned, "Silas, don’t talk nonsense. Maybe Master Damian and Serena just had a spat and temporarily called off the engagent party!"
"Only you, Miss Crystal, are suited to be the future mistress of the Quinn Family!" Silas continued, "And I’ve learned that Master Damian is currently drinking at The Elysian Pavilion, and other Hidden Guards say he’s in a bad mood."
He used to be a Hidden Guard by Damian Quinn’s side but was later assigned to protect Crystal Joyce. Though transferred, his brotherly ties with other Hidden Guards remained.
So when there was any news on Damian Quinn, he could get updates first through those Hidden Guards!
Upon hearing this, Crystal Joyce’s eyes imdiately lit up. She spoke quickly, "Is Master Damian really drinking at The Elysian Pavilion this late? I must go check on him, or I won’t be at ease!"
Silas imdiately agreed, "Alright, Miss Crystal, I’ll take you there right away!"
"Thank you, Silas. I’m really uneasy knowing Master Damian is drinking so late!"
Crystal Joyce said this, but in her heart, she thought this was her golden opportunity that she absolutely couldn’t let slip by!
...
The Elysian Pavilion.
"Assistant Sherman, hurry... help to the bathroom to puke..."
Seth Sterling stumbled out of the private room, flushed red, reeking of alcohol, barely able to stand.
Assistant Sherman hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Young Master Sterling, be careful..."
With Assistant Sherman’s help, Seth Sterling managed to stand stably, his legs trembling, "I’m... really risking my life drinking with Master Damian... with the way Master Damian’s drinking... who could keep up?!"
Assistant Sherman’s face showed traces of worry, "Master Damian can’t keep drinking like this, Young Master Sterling, why don’t you try persuading him?"
"Do I dare?"
Seth Sterling, recalling the man’s fierce gaze, sobered up a bit from fear.
"Whenever I speak, Master Damian looks like he wants to stab . I still want to live a few more years! And what good would it do if we tried to persuade him?"
"Then why don’t we contact Miss Serena? Master Damian always listens to Miss Serena! If Master Damian keeps drinking like this, even an iron body can’t take it!"
Seth Sterling frowned and looked at him as if he were an idiot, "Little Sister-in-law and Master Damian fought so fiercely. If we call her over now, what if they fight even more fiercely later?"
Hearing this, Assistant Sherman understood that it wasn’t a good idea and sighed heavily, "Then what should we do now?"
"Ugh... I can’t... I can’t... Assistant Sherman, quickly help to the bathroom. I can’t hold it anymore..."
Having drunk too much, Seth Sterling’s stomach was churning, and Assistant Sherman, with no other choice, turned to instruct the Hidden Guard at the door before hurriedly helping Seth Sterling towards the restroom.
As soon as Assistant Sherman left, Crystal Joyce erged from the shadows, a smile playing on her lips.
Finally, Assistant Sherman had left!
These Hidden Guards all knew her, and Silas had already spoken to them, so they wouldn’t be stubborn and block her.
But Assistant Sherman was so strict and only took orders from Damian Quinn. If he were here, he would never allow her to go in!
"Miss Crystal..."
The Hidden Guards at the door greeted Crystal Joyce politely.
Crystal Joyce smiled at them, speaking softly, "I heard that Master Damian is drinking inside. I was really worried, so I ca to check on him!"
"This..."
The Hidden Guards hesitated for a mont but ultimately let her in.
"Alright, Miss Crystal, please go in."
Crystal Joyce successfully entered the private room, the pride in her eyes deepening, and called out sweetly in a high-pitched voice.
"Master Damian..."
