Chapter 152: Chapter 152

Serena returned to the Everett Family and was surrounded by the concern of Ian and Niall Everett.

"Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, I’m really fine."

Niall and Ian still frowned, "Serena, the next time you encounter something , you must tell us!"

"That’s right, we’re your brothers, and brothers are supposed to protect their sisters!"

The warmth in Serena’s heart grew even deeper, and she nodded obediently, "I know, I hope Dad and Mom aren’t aware of this matter, right?"

"No, we were worried Mom would worry, so we didn’t tell her." The most update n0vels are published on novelFirｅ.net

Serena nodded and headed towards Jocelyn Sterling’s room, ready to check her pulse once more. As she reached the door, she overheard Ivan Everett and Jocelyn talking about something inside.

"Did you see today’s news, honey? How could Damian act like that! Doesn’t he know about his engagement with our Serena? Yet he publicly announced that that other girl is the future mistress of the Quinn Family. Isn’t he blatantly slapping our Serena in the face with this?"

Based on the marriage contract between the two families, her beloved daughter should be the future mistress of the Quinn Family!

The more Jocelyn thought about it, the angrier she got, "He dared to act so recklessly, being engaged yet involved with another girl, it’s simply out of line! This marriage must be annulled!"

Ivan was evidently angry as well, but seeing Jocelyn so upset, he felt concerned for her health and comforted her.

"Honey, calm down. If Damian is truly acting recklessly, I assure you, I will annul the marriage with the Quinn Family, no matter what!"

"But honey, you know that this marriage was arranged between Mom and Old Mrs. Quinn. Old Mrs. Quinn is a person of her word. If not, she would’ve annulled the marriage even after Serena had been lost for so many years!

If I go to annul the marriage now, Old Mrs. Quinn would definitely not agree. So I’ll first find out who Damian’s interested in, get substantial evidence, and then go to the Quinn Family to annul the marriage. This way, even if Old Mrs. Quinn insists that the marriage should go on, it will definitely be annulled!"

Jocelyn thought carefully about this and nodded in agreement, "You’re right, honey. We’ll first investigate that girl’s identity and then annul the marriage!"

She also wanted to know what kind of girl could make Damian disregard the engagement with the Everett Family and publicly declare his love for her!

The room was soundproofed well, so Serena outside the door couldn’t hear anything clearly. Moreover, as soon as Jocelyn and Ivan saw her, they stopped the conversation immediately.

"Serena, you’re back!"

Jocelyn lovingly reached out to hold her hand, smiling warmly.

They both agreed not to let their precious daughter know about these distressing matters.

Serena wasn’t the type to ask too many questions. Although she vaguely felt that Jocelyn and Ivan were hiding something from her, she didn’t think much of it. After checking Jocelyn’s pulse, she went back to her room to rest.

She still had some menstrual cramps today and lay on the bed, slightly missing that man’s warm hands gently massaging her abdomen...

Just as this thought popped up, Serena received a video call from Damian Quinn.

"Little one, does your stomach still hurt now?"

Through the screen, the man’s deep and magnetic voice sounded even more enchanting, making her ears tingle with numbness.

Serena nodded, "A little."

Damian understood her temperament; if she admitted there was pain, it was because it was very painful.

His eyes showed a hint of unconcealed distress, and in a lowered voice, he gently coaxed her.

"Baby, your brother will make sure you won’t have to suffer such pain again."

After coaxing the little girl to sleep, Damian reluctantly ended the video call and turned to enter The Black Vault.

The Hidden Guard at the door respectfully gave way upon seeing him, "Master Damian, please."

As soon as Damian stepped into The Black Vault, he heard Arthur Bowen quietly complaining.

"This is too much, too much! Damian Quinn is simply a tyrant. I, too, am an exceptional doctor apart from The Phantom Hand! Now I’ve ended up , trapped in this sunless Black Vault..."

Arthur barely finished his complaint when he unexpectedly saw the tall and imposing figure of Damian standing at the entrance, almost making his tongue tie in knots.

Damian didn’t even glance at him, but the overwhelming aura he exuded was chilling.

"How’s the medicine preparation coming along?"

Arthur’s face fell instantly upon hearing this.

Boo hoo hoo... what kind of lousy situation is this!

He, Arthur, was once a highly respected figure in the medical community, and now he’d been captured to develop a remedy for menstrual pain!

For a grown man to develop medication for menstrual pain, how embarrassing!

"Still in preparation..." Arthur replied weakly, then added, "Master Damian, why don’t you go capture The Phantom Hand? The Phantom Hand’s medical skills surpass mine, surely he can develop the best remedy for menstrual pain!"

Unexpectedly, the domineering man sheepishly uttered two words.

Is there anything in this world that the Reaper of The Imperia dares not do?!

Damian’s handsome face was completely calm, showing no sign that he found anything wrong with what he said.

He dared not and wouldn’t bear to have his dear little one brought to The Black Vault, and besides, healers can’t heal themselves. Apart from his little one, Arthur’s medical skills were the best, so he felt reassured letting him develop the medicine.

"If you don’t succeed, you’ll stay here forever."

Upon hearing Damian’s frigid words, Arthur was so scared his face turned pale, and he quickly responded, "Master Damian, I guarantee I’ll have it developed by tomorrow!!"

He definitely didn’t want to stay in this eerie Black Vault forever. Once he got out, he’d immediately flee and never come back to this terrifying Imperia again!

Damian didn’t linger; he turned and left The Black Vault.

"Master Damian, we’ve just received news that Miss Crystal is returning to the country tomorrow..." the Hidden Guard reported respectfully.

Upon hearing this name, a fluctuation appeared on Damian’s strikingly handsome face, and he furrowed his brows, "How’s her condition?"

"Miss Crystal’s condition remains the same... but she insists on returning to Imperia..."

Damian rubbed his tired brows and spoke in a deep voice, "Got it. Follow her wishes."

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

A rumor suddenly broke out online, suggesting that the girl hidden in Damian’s embrace was Crystal Joyce—the Joyce Family’s daughter.

This rumor further elaborated on how the Joyce Family’s daughter and Damian Quinn were childhood sweethearts, with mutual affections long before. It’s just that Crystal was often unwell, receiving treatment abroad, which is why it was never revealed until now.

This rumor was so detailed and believable that it spread like wildfire, convincing all the noble families in Imperia.
