Chapter 147: Chapter 147

After leaving the clinic, it was already late, so Damian Quinn took the girl back to the villa.

Serena Everett was still in great pain, she hardly ate a few bites of dinner before she returned to her room feeling lethargic.

Seeing the girl this way, Damian Quinn’s brows furrowed tightly, and his mesmerizing peach blossom eyes revealed undeniable heartache.

"Let big brother give you a rub."

As soon as the spoken words fell, the man’s broad and scorching palm reached inside her clothes hem, gently massaging her stomach.

The area touched by him felt like it was burning, Serena only felt her body tingling slightly, but indeed felt a bit better than before.

Serena obediently leaned into his embrace and unconsciously was coaxed to sleep. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel★fire.net

Seeing her serene sleeping face, Damian’s tightly furrowed brow finally relaxed, just as he was about to lower his head to gently kiss her forehead, the phone suddenly rang.

The noise made Serena frown, Damian immediately soothed her with a gentle voice, coaxing her to sleep once more.

Seeing the caller ID—Aidan Keaton, Damian’s handsome and devilish face instantaneously turned cold.

Calling his girl so late at night, definitely harbors ill intentions!

Damian clenched his back molar, his clear eyes revealed a few degrees of sinister, then he answered the call.

As soon as the call connected, Aidan’s clear youthful voice came through, Damian’s narrow, deep peach blossom eyes slightly squinted, a dangerous aura came forth, even Aidan, on the other end of the phone, felt a chill.

Damian coldly interrupted him, "My baby is asleep, whatever it is, talk about it tomorrow."

Hearing Damian’s voice, Aidan’s face immediately changed, then he opened his mouth in shock.

"How did Serena Everett’s phone end up with you..."

Damian couldn’t care less to reply, after proclaiming his sovereignty, he promptly ended the call and effortlessly added Aidan’s number to the blacklist.

If Aidan still dared to covet his little one, Damian’s eyes darkened ominously, looking particularly terrifying.

He doesn’t mind taking action to kick him out of Imperia.

Hearing the light knock on the door and the respectful voice of the Hidden Guard outside, Damian lowered his head, gently kissed the girl’s forehead, and then quietly left the room.

"Master Damian, those people we captured today have tough bones, we used all forms of interrogation, but still couldn’t break them, they each swallowed poison and committed suicide." The Hidden Guard reported respectfully.

Upon hearing this, the coldness around Damian intensified, sending a chill down one’s spine.

"Continue investigating."

Dare to harm his girl, even if he has to dig three feet under, he must find the culprit!

The Hidden Guard promptly responded respectfully, "Yes, Master Damian."

The next day, as soon as the headline news was published, it caused a sensation across Imperia.

The media only released a single photo of Damian princess-carrying a girl as the news headline, sparking widespread discussion.

Unfortunately, the girl was completely shielded by the tall, handsome man, her face obscured, but the photo clearly showed Damian’s deep affection for her.

[Am I blind? Isn’t the master from the Quinn Family supposed to be indifferent to women?]

[Yes, yes, from the photo he really seems to love her! I so wish to swap places with the girl in Master Damian’s arms!]

[But why doesn’t the girl show her face? Are they not a couple?]

[Yes, yes, is she some kind of lover, and that’s why her face isn’t shown?]

[The person above is onto something! That’s certainly why the girl didn’t show her face!]

Watching this topic gaining traction online, the butler couldn’t help but ask Damian, "Master Damian, should I get these news taken down?"

Our Master Damian always dislikes being the subject of such trivial headlines, surely he’ll instruct to have all these news removed!

Damian’s lazy gaze fell on the photo, his attractive thin lips unconsciously curving upward.

They captured quite a splendid shot of him and the girl...

"No need to take them down, let them stay."

After all, someday she’ll formally become his.

"Alright, Master Damian, I’ll go take down all these news now..."

Saying this, the butler realized Damian’s words meant not to take them down, shocked but swiftly responded respectfully.

"Understood, Master Damian."

Damian liked the photo more the longer he looked at it, the curvature of his lips deepening, prompting the butler to speak again.

"But they’re all speculating about your relationship with Miss Serena... they’re all saying she’s your kept lover..."

Before the butler could finish his words, Damian’s handsome face had already turned completely icy, it looked utterly terrifying.

"Make a public announcement, she’s the one I love, and the future matriarch of the Quinn Family."

Seeing Damian’s intimidating demeanor, the butler recoiled in fright, promptly agreeing respectfully.

"Yes, Master Damian, I’ll get on it right away."

"Also, shut down all the accounts spreading false rumors."

Damian’s anger still hadn’t subsided, but upon hearing the footsteps coming from the second floor, he immediately reined in his hostility, turning to look at her warmly.

"Did the little one wake up?"

"Yes." Serena’s face was still a bit pale, but better than yesterday.

Watching their Master Damian change expressions so quickly, the butler couldn’t help but inwardly utter a brief ’tsk’, promptly retreating to handle the tasks assigned by Damian.

Serena didn’t have classes in the morning, Damian watched over her as she ate lunch, instructed the household staff to take good care of her, before heading to the company.

Serena lazily curled up on the sofa, beginning to ponder the events of yesterday.

Yesterday clearly, that group of people had her as their target.

Serena’s extremely beautiful fox-like eyes narrowed chillingly, she’s been staying in Imperia lately, doing nothing, yet she still attracts people trying to kill her!

She despises being at a disadvantage!

Serena took out her phone, opened The Netherworld Syndicate’s group chat, her pale fingers rapidly typing away.

[There’s something I need you to handle.]

The Netherworld Syndicate: [Alliance Hierarch, please tell us, we’ll definitely take care of it for you!]

Serena curved her red lips, continued typing.

[I want you to investigate, the emblem of that force is a star-shaped pattern.]

Yesterday, when that shifty-eyed man attempted to hold her hostage, she saw a star-shaped mark on his arm.

Each organization has its own unique emblem, that star pattern is highly likely the emblem representing his force.

Discovering the star pattern’s emblem will reveal which force is targeting her.
