Chapter 157: Chapter 157

The man who had been neglected for a long time moved closer in dissatisfaction, his captivating peach blossom eyes fixed tightly on her.

Serena curled her lips lightly and pushed him away.

Damian Quinn stretched out his hand and naturally pulled her into his embrace, his deep and magnetic voice slowly sounded in her ear.

"I’m only clingy to my little friend here."

Serena obediently leaned into his arms, her rosy and moist red lips curved slightly, but then she thought of the message just received from The Netherworld Syndicate, and her brow furrowed again in worry.

Damian Quinn received a message from Gael Quinn. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs NoveIꜰire.net

Gael Quinn: [Brother!!!]

Gael Quinn: [Wishing you and sister-in-law eternal love and happiness!]

Gael Quinn: [Long life together and many blessings!]

Looking at these messages, Damian Quinn’s attractive and sexy thin lips curled slightly, clearly feeling in a good mood.

Soon, Gael Quinn sent another message: [Bro, your dear little brother is a bit short on cash... so you know what to do!]

The next second, Gael Quinn in the hospital received a bank transfer notification—transfer amount 5,000,000.

Gael Quinn was so delighted that he almost jumped for joy. Though he usually received lots of pocket money, it was all confiscated if he made a mistake. Also, he’s a big spender, so he’s currently a bit short on money.

Referencing that unmasked sister-in-law really helped! Saying some nice words earned him 5 million, that’s such a great deal!

Next time he’s short on money, he’ll use this trick again!

After celebrating, Gael Quinn started to plan in his mind how to spend this money.

Let him consider what gift to buy for Serena. Pursuing someone requires the proper approach. If not for considering Niall Everett and the others, he would have pursued Serena with great fanfare, letting the whole school know of his passionate chase!

"Gael, what makes you smile so happily?" Old Mrs. Quinn couldn’t help but ask from her hospital bed.

Gael Quinn’s smile grew even brighter, "Grandma, soon I’ll find you a granddaughter-in-law! You will definitely like her!"

"Great, great!" Old Mrs. Quinn was extremely pleased, "Both you and Damian have girlfriends, Grandma is really happy!"

"As long as you’re happy, Grandma!"

Gael Quinn beamed brightly. Serena is just right for him. He particularly likes girls who are good at gaming, and Serena fits this perfectly. They are indeed a match made in heaven; being apart is against nature!

So, even if it means risking having his leg broken by Niall Everett and the others, he must secretly win Serena’s heart!

Serena had just reached the door when two figures rushed towards her.

Serena reacted swiftly, immediately dodging them, avoiding any contact with Timothy Everett and Amy Miller.

Timothy Everett and Amy Miller no longer had that previous arrogance of wealthy individuals. They were dressed in ragged clothes, dirty and looking like two beggars.

"Serena, finally we found you!" Timothy Everett smiled ingratiatingly at Serena, "We’ve been waiting here for you all day!"

"Yes, yes!" Amy Miller quickly nodded along, her face also carrying a flattering smile, "Serena, we haven’t eaten all day, please take us inside to eat something! You wouldn’t believe how unreasonable the guards at the gate are, we told them we’re your adoptive parents, yet they still wouldn’t let us in!"

"You must teach those damned guards a lesson for us!"

Due to pressure from the Everett Family and additional manipulations from Jude Ford’s side, Timothy Everett’s small company quickly went bankrupt, and Lillian Everett was imprisoned for stealing Serena’s design.

Timothy Everett and Amy Miller couldn’t afford the massive compensation and had to sell their house and assets to pay it off.

Now they were penniless and homeless, worse off than beggars.

Timothy Everett and Amy Miller hadn’t eaten for three days, scavenging for food in the trash cans. Finally, after finding out the Everett Family’s address, they hurriedly came to wait for Serena.

"That’s right, those guards are too much, Serena, you must teach them a lesson for us!"

Listening to their shameless words, Serena’s rosy lips formed a mocking curve, "How do you have the nerve to find me?"

"Oh dear... Serena!" Amy Miller immediately resorted to pitiful complaints, "No matter what happened, we were a family once! You can’t ignore us now that we’re in such a state!"

"Exactly, exactly!" Timothy Everett shamelessly chimed in, "Serena, it was just a little misunderstanding before. We apologize; please forgive us! You’re our only source of hope, if you don’t help us we’ll starve to death on the street!"

"Serena, you can’t ignore us!"

Serena looked at them expressionlessly, "What does your life or death have to do with me?"

Hearing this, Timothy Everett and Amy Miller became anxious, "Serena... we know we were wrong, we shouldn’t have kicked you out of the house, nor should we have stolen your designs. We truly know we were wrong now, please forgive us!"

"Right, right, we are family, you wouldn’t just watch us starve to death on the street, you surely wouldn’t have the heart to..."

Amy Miller and Timothy Everett attempted to play the sympathy card, hoping for Serena’s pity, but Serena didn’t even glance at them and coldly interrupted.

"I have the heart to do so."

Seeing Serena unmoved, Amy Miller dropped the act, revealing her true colors, speaking viciously.

"Serena, we ended up all because of you, you jinx! If you hadn’t publicly exposed us for stealing your designs, those other companies wouldn’t have terminated contracts with us, making us lose so much money. You have to take responsibility!"

"Exactly! It’s all your fault, we demand compensation, millions! Timothy Everett also showed a menacing face, "You’re wealthy now, being a tycoon’s daughter, giving us a few million is easy, give us the money and we’ll leave immediately!"

Jocelyn Sterling and Ivan Everett had just returned from a walk by the lake, and overheard these words. Jocelyn Sterling was furious, immediately rushing over to kick them.

"How dare you bully my precious daughter!" Jocelyn Sterling was very upset, her not fully recovered body couldn’t handle it, her face paler by the moment, "I haven’t settled my score with you, yet you bring yourselves here..."
