The next day, Serena received the news of the successful live experint.
"Senior sister, we have officially vaccinated Stella and others. Based on 24-hour observation, they’re all fine now!"
"Yes, indeed!" Julian Hart nodded repeatedly, his face full of gratitude, "If it weren’t for you, Miss Everett, we wouldn’t have known what to do this ti! Thank you so much, I will report to the higher-ups to give you a comndation..."
"No need."
Serena shook her head to interrupt him, decisively refusing.
Such indifference to fa and fortune, truly deserving of being the number one in dicine!
Julian Hart looked at her with even greater respect, knowing her firm character, he did not insist further.
"Miss Everett, words can’t express my gratitude. If there’s anything I can do for you in the future, just let know!"
Serena nonchalantly nodded, "Hmm, I won’t stand on ceremony with you."
If she needed him, she certainly wouldn’t be polite.
"Hahaha, I like your straightforwardness, Miss Everett!"
"I have sothing to discuss with my second brother." Serena glanced at the two of them, speaking calmly, "You guys go ahead with your work."
"Alright, Miss Everett!"
...
Just as Serena reached the door, she heard Stella’s voice coming from inside the room.
Unlike her previous arrogance, she was now incredibly delicate.
"Admiral Everett, I was wrong about yesterday’s incident. I spoke in the heat of the mont, I know my mistake now..."
Unfortunately, Steven Everett, being a straightforward man, not only felt no pity for Stella’s fragile deanor, but instead found her even more distasteful.
He didn’t respond to Stella’s ekness, addressing her in an official manner.
"Miss Stella, you’re in good condition now. We’ll arrange a plane to send you back to Zelara as soon as possible."
Seeing his extrely cold attitude, Stella bit her lips unwillingly.
The cooperation hadn’t been finalized, how could she just leave? Moreover, she couldn’t bear to go back to Zelara just like that!
After finishing what he had to say, Steven had no desire to stay any longer, "I have other matters to attend to, farewell."
"Admiral Everett!"
Stella rushed forward, blocking him with cold light flashing in her eyes, but on the surface, she appeared shy and timid, staring intently at Steven Everett.
"Admiral Everett, can’t you see my feelings for you?"
Stella was very confident in herself, she couldn’t believe any man could refuse her with her status!
She had to win Steven Everett!
Varden.
Unexpectedly hearing a big scandal, Serena lazily leaned against the door, her tongue lightly touching her back molar, clicking softly.
So that’s how it was; no wonder Stella had inexplicable hostility towards her since their first eting.
Inside the room, upon hearing this, Steven Everett imdiately stepped back to widen the distance between them, his brows furrowed tightly as if he could swat a fly.
"Sorry, Miss Stella."
Steven refused decisively and without hesitation.
He actually rejected her?!
Stella stared in disbelief, her eyes wide open.
How could this be! How could this happen?
Steven’s face looked grim; he didn’t want to stay with her for another second and turned to leave, but Stella still refused to give up, biting her lip and lunging at him, hugging his narrow waist tightly.
"Admiral Everett, I don’t believe you don’t like ..."
Steven’s face turned completely cold, he forcefully pushed her away, his voice as chilly as ice shards.
"Miss Stella, please have so self-respect."
His tone was cold and mixed with deep disgust, making his words extrely heavy and causing Stella a great deal of embarrassnt.
During their first eting, his attitude towards her was obviously still very gentle and polite, how did it beco like this now?!
Watching Steven’s unwavering back as he left, Stella’s hands clenched tightly at her sides, and her eyes brimd with spite.
It must be because of that Serena, that wicked woman, that Steven’s attitude towards her changed!
"Second brother."
Seeing Steven Everett exiting the room with a very cold expression, Serena called out.
Seeing his beloved little sister, Steven’s anger dissipated instantly, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes as he gently brushed aside the fringe on her forehead.
"Serena, what do you need?"
Serena blinked her beautiful fox-like eyes, speaking leisurely, "Mom told to tell you that there are guests tonight, and you must co ho today."
"Tsk..."
Hearing this, Steven sighed and felt quite troubled.
This so-called "guest" was probably another family’s young lady, ant to be a blind date.
Since the elder brother was taken, these matchmaking banquets had beco his responsibility!
It was rare to see second brother looking so troubled and embarrassed like this...
Seeing him like this, Serena curled her lips in schadenfreude.
"You heartless little thing, you’re laughing!"
Seeing his beloved sister’s gleeful look, Steven helplessly curled his lips, seemingly disapproving but actually very doting.
Their intimate interaction fell into the eyes of Stella, who had chased after them, causing her to almost grind her teeth to pieces in hatred.
He was so cold to her, yet so gentle to that damned Serena!
She knew it, Serena had stolen the man she had her eye on!
Beside her, Hera continued to chatter incessantly.
"That Steven Everett is really excessive, so ungrateful! You, Princess, have humbled yourself so much, yet he’s completely unyielding!"
"A re admiral dares to treat you, Princess, like this!"
"Shut up!"
Stella’s jealousy grew deeper, her tightly clenched fists drove her sharp nails deeply into her palms.
She would surely find a man better than Steven Everett to make that wicked Serena envious and jealous, and to make Steven regret rejecting her!
