Chapter 197: Chapter 197
Hearing the voice from behind, Eleanor immediately turned around, and upon seeing it was Crystal, a look of disdain flashed in her eyes.
The Joyce family had long since declined, and with her health issues, if it weren’t for the Quinn family supporting her over the years, she would have ended up on the streets.
While thinking this, Eleanor put on a warm smile for Crystal, "Crystal, long time no see, but what are you doing at Imperia University?"
Crystal’s clear, doe-like eyes curved slightly, "Master Damian arranged for me to attend Imperia University."
Hearing the name Damian Quinn, Eleanor’s eyes lit up, and her attitude towards Crystal became even more enthusiastic.
"So that’s how it is, Crystal, Master Damian is really good to you!"
The Quinn family always supported her, as long as she maintained a good relationship with Crystal, there was no worry about not meeting Damian Quinn!
As long as she got the chance to meet Damian Quinn, she was confident that with her excellence, she could surely attract his attention!
"Crystal, we haven’t seen each other for a while. Can I visit you at your place?"
"Of course!" Crystal agreed immediately, a gentle smile spreading across her face, "When I was a child, no one played with me, but you always did. Eleanor, you’re my first friend!"
Having achieved her goal, Eleanor’s smile deepened, probing further, "By the way, Crystal, where do you live now? Are you living with Master Damian?"
"No." Crystal gently shook her head, "Master Damian arranged for me to stay at Imperial Gardens. He’s very busy, so we rarely see each other."
On hearing this, Eleanor’s enthusiasm for her decreased by half, the disdain in her eyes deepening further.
"Oh, I see! I suddenly remembered I have something to do later, Crystal, I’ll visit you next time then!"
Since she rarely saw Damian Quinn, it seemed she wasn’t that important to him. Associating with someone from a fallen family like her would only lower her own status!
"Alright." Crystal lowered her eyes in disappointment, then smiled as she spoke, "Eleanor, you’re welcome to visit next time."
"Of course, of course, I’ll definitely come next time!"
Eleanor laughed and agreed, but inwardly she was extremely scornful. Unless Damian Quinn was there, she wouldn’t go!
Silas, who was standing behind Crystal, saw through Eleanor’s thoughts clearly, casting a disdainful glance at her and letting out a cold snort.
Master Damian wasn’t interested in such ordinary and superficial women; only a girl as pure and kind as Miss Crystal was worthy of him!
Serena Everett received messages from Niall Everett and Ian Everett.
[Serena, fourth and fifth brothers have some matters to attend to; the family driver will pick you up to go home.]
[Ahem, Serena, don’t tell big brother about this! If he asks, just say we picked you up!]
After replying with an "okay," Serena put her phone away.
Damian Quinn naturally took the young girl’s hand, a slight curve appearing on his handsome, sensual lips. For origınal chapters go to NoveI(F)ire.net
Gael Quinn had done well; he might consider increasing his allowance.
His "useless" younger brother was finally proving to be of some use...
"Was this your doing?"
Serena raised her strikingly beautiful fox-like eyes, quietly looking at him.
Damian Quinn admitted openly, playing with her delicate fingertips, smiled, and his low, magnetic voice was incredibly seductive.
"I want more time alone with my little fiancée."
Serena blinked softly, "But if my big brother finds out, you might get beaten again."
"Feeling sorry for me, huh?"
The man let out a low, raspy laugh, drawing out his words slowly, making her ears tingle with a peculiar sensation.
This rogue man was starting to tease again!
Serena pursed her red lips, reached out to push him, "We’re here."
Damian Quinn got out of the car first, opened the door for the young girl, and guided her out.
The event organizer, knowing of Damian Quinn’s attendance, had been waiting at the entrance, and upon seeing him, immediately greeted him with a fawning expression, but was stunned at the sight of this scene, eyes wide in disbelief.
Master Damian actually opened the car door for this woman?!
As soon as Serena stepped out of the car, the organizer and others couldn’t help but stare; she was incredibly beautiful!
To say she took everyone’s breath away wouldn’t be an exaggeration, especially with her extraordinary aura that made it impossible to look away.
No wonder she could make Master Damian treat her so specially!
Noticing their gaze on the young girl, Damian Quinn’s captivating eyes instantly narrowed, exuding a dangerous aura.
"Do you want to lose your eyes?"
Hearing this, the organizers felt a shiver down their spines, quickly retracting their gazes, not daring to look at Serena any longer.
At the same time, they couldn’t help but silently exclaim: Tsk, so protective, not even allowing others to take an extra look!
"Master Damian, please come inside."
After seeing Damian and the others inside, the organizer finally breathed a sigh of relief, only to see another Rolls-Royce pull up at the entrance, from which Elliot Everett stepped out.
Organizer: "Young Master Everett?!"
"Yes." Elliot Everett nodded slightly, checking the messages from Niall and Ian Everett.
[Big brother, we’ve already brought Serena home.]
Elliot nodded with satisfaction and began to ponder what his treasured sister might like; perhaps he would buy a few items at the auction and let Serena choose her favorite, leaving anything she didn’t like to Niall and Ian.
The organizer, suppressing his shock and unease, respectfully ushered Elliot in, only to chastise the manager after he walked away.
"Idiot! Who told you to invite both Master Damian and Young Master Everett?!"
The manager, bewildered by the scolding, timidly replied, "But both Master Damian and Young Master Everett are big spenders, inviting them would increase our auction revenue..."
Of course, the organizer understood that rationale, but with these two prominent figures having fallen out, he couldn’t afford to offend either side!
All of Imperia knew that recently, Master Damian had gone to the Everett Family to break off an engagement, enraging Young Master Everett, which led to a physical altercation!
Young Master Everett nearly disfigured Master Damian in the fight!
With things already so bad, if those two met at the auction today and started fighting again, the event would be ruined!
"Idiot, don’t you know they’ve had a falling out? Make sure their boxes are separate so they don’t encounter each other!"
The manager hurriedly wiped the sweat from his brow, replying respectfully, "Yes, yes, I’ll take care of it right away."
The organizer silently prayed in his heart, pleading with the heavens: Please, don’t let those two titans meet!
