"Okay, Miss Serena!" Chase Sherman imdiately responded respectfully, directing the Hidden Guard to take Crystal Joyce to the hospital.
It wasn’t until he saw Crystal Joyce being taken to the hospital that Silas finally breathed a sigh of relief, his heart at ease.
"You sacrifice so much for her, yet all she wants is for you to die. Is it worth it?"
Serena Everett’s cold, elegant voice rang out softly, instantly changing the expression on Silas’s face.
Recalling Crystal Joyce’s previous words, Silas felt as if his heart had been cut with a knife again, his hands clenched into fists, veins bulging, showing a deeply pained expression.
"Let know when you’re ready to tell the truth."
Serena, after admiring his look of extre suffering, leisurely tossed out this sentence before turning and leaving the secret chamber.
Silas remained kneeling in the corner, his expression gloomy, leaving others unable to guess his thoughts.
Once Serena left the secret chamber, she saw Lucas Laine not far away and furrowed her brows in confusion.
"Lucas, why are you here?"
"Serena..."
Lucas Laine softly called her na, trying hard to hide the love in his eyes as he spoke gently.
"I ca to tell you that I’ve already had that batch of goods smoothly transported back to The Netherworld Syndicate, and this matter didn’t alert the master."
"Very good."
Serena nodded in satisfaction, the stone hanging in her heart finally set down as her lips curved into a slight smile.
After all, she didn’t want a certain seductive man to first et the master with a bad impression...
Seeing the faint smile on Serena’s face, Lucas Laine’s eyes dimd, but his face remained gentle as he spoke, "Serena, are you going back to the hospital? I can take you."
Thinking of a certain man’s jealousy, Serena shook her head and refused without hesitation, "No need."
Seeing Serena’s unwavering refusal, the bitterness in Lucas Laine’s heart deepened, his deep black eyes lowered as he spoke softly.
"Serena, you and I have grown distant..."
He knew that Serena was the softest towards those close to her, and he did it on purpose.
Sure enough, Serena eventually nodded and agreed, "Okay, sorry to trouble you, Lucas."
Lucas Laine’s handso face broke into a smile, his tone exceedingly gentle, "Serena, there’s no need to be polite with !"
...
Hospital room.
"Master Damian, you truly have your ways, publicly claiming to have destroyed that batch of goods from The Netherworld Syndicate, while in fact secretly hiding it!"
Seth Sterling’s tone was quite speechless, clearly having racked his brain to no avail that Damian Quinn would actually do such a thing!
Master Damian had never done this sort of thing before, saying one thing and doing that exact thing, what he wanted to destroy, he destroyed without a second thought, when had he ever been this cowardly?!
Without even looking up, Damian Quinn spoke slowly, "If I don’t secretly hold back, what would I do if my little girl got truly angry?"
The little girl was not easy to coax when angry!
Seth Sterling: "..."
Master Damian is too afraid of his wife, being henpecked to this extent, it’s really embarrassing for us n!
"Ah..."
As Seth Sterling stood up, he noticed Serena Everett and Lucas Laine walking side by side outside the window, seemingly talking and looking quite intimate.
"Master Damian, isn’t that our sister-in-law and Lucas Laine?"
At these words, Damian Quinn’s gaze lifted, looking at the two walking together, yet his emotions were calm.
"Holy crap!" Seth Sterling shouted as if he had discovered a new continent, "Master Damian, you’re not jealous?"
Before, whenever Master Damian saw Lucas Laine appear next to Serena Everett, it was like facing a great enemy, if looks could kill, Lucas Laine would have been dead hundreds of tis!
"Why be jealous?"
The man curled his attractive, seductive thin lips, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows all carrying a smile, his tone full of pride.
"My little girl said, she only likes ."
Seth Sterling: "..."
It’s just a word to coax, look at how happy, how smug Master Damian is!
"Master Damian, that’s just a little trick of our sister-in-law to coax you, don’t take it too seriously..."
Before Seth Sterling could finish his sentence, the man’s icy, sharp gaze swept over in an instant.
"Do you have a death wish?"
Seth Sterling was so frightened that his body trembled, hurriedly admitting his mistake, "Master Damian, I was wrong, I was wrong, I’ll leave imdiately, don’t be angry!"
At this mont, Serena Everett had already entered with Lucas Laine.
Upon seeing his little girl, Damian Quinn’s icy deanor instantly softened.
"Sister-in-law, I’ll leave first, I’ll visit again next ti..."
Seth Sterling seized this opportunity, throwing out these words before making a quick getaway.
Seeing Seth Sterling escaping so quickly, Serena furrowed her brows curiously, then said, "Lucas ca to see you."
Lucas Laine had a smile on his face, but in the depths of his eyes, there was no hint of a smile, only coldness.
"Thank you for risking your life to protect Serena."
Hmph, did he need him to thank him for protecting his little girl?!
Damian Quinn’s handso face instantly chilled, his deep, magnetic voice cold as ice, "It’s only right to protect my fiancée. I don’t need you to thank on her behalf. Vice Alliance Hierarch should know his place!"
The man emphasized the three words "fiancée," and Lucas Laine’s hands clenched tighter at his sides, a deeper enmity in his heart.
For a mont, the atmosphere in the hospital room beca tense and heavy.
Deliberately, Damian Quinn reached out to hold the girl’s hand, pulling her into his embrace, leaning down to place a kiss on her brow.
"Baby, why were you gone so long, brother missed you..."
Serena’s skin was thin, and she didn’t like public displays of affection, but this ti she didn’t push Damian Quinn away.
This ti, Lucas indeed crossed the line, and his anger wasn’t without reason...
Seeing Serena not resist Damian Quinn’s intimate gesture, Lucas Laine couldn’t bear it any longer, suddenly standing up, suppressing the tumultuous emotions in his heart, "Serena, I have matters to attend to, I’ll be leaving first."
Before Serena could respond, Damian Quinn instructed, "Chase, see the Vice Alliance Hierarch out."
Chase Sherman imdiately responded respectfully, "Yes, Master Damian!"
"No need."
Lucas Laine coldly left these words and turned to leave.
After leaving the hospital room, Lucas Laine’s expression turned icy, a chilling aura emanating from him.
Rembering the intimate mont he had just witnessed, Lucas Laine felt as if a dagger had pierced his chest, causing a sharp, persistent pain.
Serena didn’t resist Damian Quinn’s touch at all; her feelings for Damian were deeper than he had imagined!
With clenched fists in dissatisfaction, the shadow in Lucas Laine’s eyes darkened further.
Serena cares most about her master’s opinion; if the master disapproves of this relationship, Serena might not stay with Damian Quinn...
