"You guys are really sothing."
Hearing Serena’s cold tone, Chase Sherman felt even less confident and hurriedly spoke.
"Miss Serena, I didn’t an to help Master Damian hide it from you, it was Master Damian who wouldn’t let tell you! I even advised Master Damian not to keep it from you back then, but he wouldn’t listen to ... insisted on having his way, and I couldn’t stop him!"
Damian Quinn: "..."
He had just managed to pacify the young lady, and now this idiot was causing trouble for him?!
Feeling Master Damian’s ice-cold gaze fall on him like a knife, Chase Sherman wasn’t flustered at all. After all, offending Master Damian wasn’t scary; having Miss Serena to protect him! But offending Miss Serena, now that would be true disaster!
Serena wasn’t really planning to make things difficult for him, she snorted softly, "Don’t let there be a next ti."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Chase Sherman imdiately breathed a sigh of relief, nodding repeatedly, "I understand, Miss Serena! I guarantee there won’t be a next ti!"
Serena: "Go busy yourself."
"Okay, Miss Serena!"
Chase Sherman gave a fawning smile and ran off swiftly, as if a flood beast was chasing him.
Seeing this, Serena lightly clicked her tongue against her back teeth.
Tsk, was she that scary?
...
Half an hour later, Serena ca out of the bathroom, took out her phone, and seeing nurous missed calls, she called back.
The call was connected instantly, and a worried, anxious voice of Claire Keaton ca through.
"Sweetheart, you finally contacted ! Do you know how worried we were when we couldn’t reach you!!! Lucas and I were going crazy, we were even considering going to Ystoria and snatching you from The Midnight Syndicate!"
Hearing her worried words, a warmth surged in Serena’s heart, "Claire, don’t worry about , I’m fine."
"Sweetheart, as long as you’re okay!"
Claire Keaton sighed with relief, then hurriedly added.
"Serena, what you did was too risky, daring to do sothing like this without us! Tell your current location, we’ll co and get you out of Ystoria imdiately!"
"Claire, you guys don’t need to co to get ..."
Before Serena could finish her sentence, Claire Keaton interrupted anxiously.
"No sweetheart, you can’t stay in Ystoria any longer. You’ve blown up The Midnight Syndicate’s weapons factory and casino, causing them severe losses. Their idiot leader has already personally gone after you. Your situation is very dangerous, you must leave Ystoria imdiately!"
Serena said helplessly, "Claire, you really don’t need to worry about , now The Midnight Syndicate listens to ."
"Huh?"
Claire Keaton on the other end of the call was obviously extrely surprised to hear this.
"Sweetheart, did you bump your head? What nonsense are you talking about?!"
The Midnight Syndicate and their Netherworld Syndicate had been archenemies for so many years, if they knew Serena’s true identity, and since Serena had caused them such heavy losses and public embarrassnt.
They would demand her blood or skin at the very least!
"Sweetheart, the situation is urgent now, we can’t delay any longer. Every second of delay increases your risk! We will co to get you as fast as we can..."
Seeing Claire Keaton didn’t believe her at all, Serena finally said, "Claire, Damian Quinn is the leader of The Midnight Syndicate."
Upon hearing this, there was a mont of dead silence on the other end, followed by a sharp explosion-like scream.
"What the hell, sweetheart, you’re not joking, are you?!"
This was too explosive, her sweetheart’s archenemy who made her grind her teeth turned out to be her fiancé, not sothing even a novel would dare to write!
"Claire, I’m not joking with you." Serena rubbed her brows with her fair fingertips, "I only just found out too, if I had known later, we might have ended up killing each other!"
Claire Keaton could imagine how they both were seeing red, and the next second discovering the other was their fiancé/fiancée, the shocking and speechless sentint!
"Sweetheart, such a big thing and Damian Quinn dared to hide it from you, you can’t just forgive him like that!"
"Hmm." Serena nodded her head, her tone quite nonchalant, "I requested The Midnight Syndicate’s newly developed Salmad Intercontinental Missile."
"Sweetheart, Damian Quinn gave you The Midnight Syndicate’s Salmad Intercontinental Missile?!"
Claire Keaton swallowed in surprise and burst out with an expletive.
"Aweso! So damn aweso!"
It was a priceless treasure!!!
After a while, Claire Keaton finally cald down her excited little mood and continued, "Sweetheart, now that The Midnight Syndicate is essentially yours, thinking back, the money lost from blowing up The Midnight Syndicate’s factory and casino was technically yours too!"
Thinking about that huge loss, Serena imdiately felt heartbroken, becoming dejected.
As Damian Quinn walked into the room, he saw this scene. His black hair was slightly damp, and he was wearing loose ho clothes, clearly having just co back from a shower in another room.
Serena counted the loss in her head silently and was filled with regret.
If she’d known, she wouldn’t have blown up the factory and casino...
"Honey, don’t be upset."
The man’s beautiful, sexy thin lips curved with a smile, he hugged the little girl from behind, speaking softly to comfort her.
"Your husband still has a lot of money, all for my little girl!"
Upon hearing this, Serena felt slightly better, but still pushed him away, pouting proudly.
"Don’t touch , I haven’t forgiven you yet! You can leave now, I want to rest!"
Being pushed away by the little girl, a look of helplessness flashed across the handso man’s face, then he suddenly leaned in, his warm breath spraying over her fair ear lobes, his low and magnetic voice full of temptation.
"Honey, how about I stay to warm the bed for you?"
Serena: "..."
Damian Quinn chuckled softly, "Without a reply, I’ll take it that my little girl agreed."
She’d never t soone so shaless!
Serena rolled her eyes, raising her foot to kick him, but the next second her slender leg was gently held by the man.
"Honey, what if you hurt it?"
The man’s captivating almond eyes slightly narrowed, his tone had a hint of danger.
Serena glanced over and realized where she had just aid her kick was the man’s... ahem ahem, she really didn’t an it, really didn’t expect it to be so precisely aid!
