Chapter 116: Chapter 116

"Mom and Dad, what should we do now? Our company is bankrupt, the clothing line has stopped production, we still have to compensate our partners, and there’s Serena who’s demanding we pay her 50 million as well..."

Timothy Everett and Lillian Everett barely managed to gather enough money to pay the hotel, only to be chased out in disgrace.

Because it was their fault, the clothing line stopped production and they have to compensate their partners, plus all these expenses add up to be a gigantic sum that is suffocating them.

"Serena, that bitch, she just can’t stand seeing us doing well! She’s already the daughter of Imperia’s richest person, already so rich, yet she still wants us to pay her 5 million. That heartless bitch is just deliberately making us suffer!"

Amy Miller cursed bitterly, completely forgetting how they once treated Serena, which led to their current downfall.

"Exactly, exactly!" Lillian Everett chimed in through gritted teeth, "Serena, that bane of our life, is intentionally targeting our family! Just because she’s the daughter of Imperia’s richest person, she’s bullying us, completely ignoring the kindness we once showed her!"

Amy Miller’s eyes turned even more venomous, "That little bitch Serena is nothing but an ungrateful little snake!"

"Alright, both of you say no more. Don’t forget, it was grandma who treated her kindly, not us..." Timothy Everett spoke with a hint of guilt.

Back then, when grandma picked Serena up from outside, they tried more than once to abandon her, but it was grandma who repeatedly brought her back and raised her.

Thinking about the heartless things they did to Serena back then, the more Timothy thought about it, the more guilty he felt, now filled with deep regret.

If only they’d known Serena would become the daughter of Imperia’s richest person, they would’ve treated her better!

"Why should I say less!" Amy Miller, naturally a shrew, just restrained herself a little in Imperia, and now her true colors showed as she cursed, "Indeed, we have no nurturing kindness towards Serena, it was grandma who raised her, but isn’t grandma gone now? As grandma’s closest relatives, Serena must repay grandma’s kindness to us!"

"Mom is right!" Lillian Everett immediately nodded in agreement, "With grandma gone, Serena has to repay grandma’s kindness to us!"

Amy Miller’s eyes glinted with calculation, "Not only should we not pay that little bitch Serena the 5 million, we should get more money from her!"

"This..." Timothy Everett hesitated, "Can we really do this? Given Serena’s attitude today, what if she sues us if we don’t pay..."

"She wouldn’t dare!" Amy Miller’s eyes widened, her stance like a rural shrew, "Asking her to repay the nurturing kindness is the natural order of things, would she dare not comply?!"

Timothy Everett, reconsidering, thought she made sense, immediately responded, "Alright, alright, honey, I’ll listen to you, whatever you say, we’ll do!"

"That little bitch Serena is now the daughter of Imperia’s richest person, we should really extract a large sum from her!" Amy Miller’s eyes were full of scheming color, "If we can get something like 80 million from that little bitch Serena, we’ll be rich!"

Lillian Everett and Timothy Everett’s eyes immediately lit up, greed evident on their faces.

It was as if they could already see themselves receiving 80 million, once again becoming wealthy, and trampling down those who used to look down and sneer at them!

After dinner, Serena and Jocelyn went back to their room, only to receive a video call from Principal Reed.

"Serena, I heard from Graham that you’ve got a boyfriend?!"

Hearing this, Principal Reed instantly breathed a sigh of relief, his face brightening up with a radiant smile, "I knew it, how could Serena possibly have a boyfriend! Graham was definitely talking nonsense! Serena, Uncle Reed also has a son, about your age..." Latest content publıshed on novel•fire.net

Serena interrupted him coolly, "Not a boyfriend, a fiancé."

"What?" Principal Reed’s eyes widened in disbelief, "A fiancé?! Serena, you have a fiancé? Since when, I haven’t heard you mention it before!"

Serena calmly nodded, "Yes, I only found out about it recently."

Recovering from his shock, Principal Reed felt deeply pained, as he had been hoping to make Serena his daughter-in-law!

He remarked tartly, "Serena, I heard from Graham that your fiancé is a bit older! Serena, don’t be deceived; you’re so young, you shouldn’t be with an older man!"

Serena’s rosy, moist lips curled with amusement, as she mischievously replied, "Uncle Reed, why don’t you say these words to him when you meet?"

"Alright!" Principal Reed agreed without hesitation, "When I’m back from my trip, I’ll certainly personally check him out for you!"

He eagerly wanted to see who had stolen the daughter-in-law he had his eyes on!

Serena’s beautiful, arching fox-like eyes glinted with even more mischief, hoping he’d still say that when he met Damian Quinn!

"By the way, Serena, Uncle Reed has something else to discuss with you!" On the other end of the video, Principal Reed suddenly smiled obsequiously, "The Imperia University and Clearwater University School of Medicine’s annual medical competition is about to begin..."

Before Principal Reed could finish, Serena interrupted without hesitation, "I won’t go."

"But Serena, I’ve already registered you..."

Knowing Serena’s laid-back nature, Principal Reed anticipated she wouldn’t agree to participate, so he preemptively signed her up.

"Serena, I, Uncle Reed, am begging you, you don’t know how Imperia has lost the past few medical competitions to Clearwater, and I’ve been taunted by Clearwater’s principal! I’m counting on you, Serena, to help me put Clearwater’s principal in his place!"

The video showed Principal Reed with a pitiful face, pleading earnestly.

"Serena, if you could just help Uncle Reed this one time, if you don’t participate, our Imperia University School of Medicine might lose again, and you wouldn’t want to see Uncle Reed being mocked by Clearwater’s principal again, right?"

Serena, pestered by his plea, could only agree, "Just this once."

"Alright, alright!" Principal Reed immediately beamed like a blooming flower, "Uncle Reed promises there won’t be a next time!"

Hahaha, this year’s medical competition, Imperia University is guaranteed to win, finally it was his turn to show off in front of Clearwater’s principal!
