Chapter 229: Chapter 229

"If any of you dare to compete with me, believe it or not, I’ll beat you up!"

Steven Everett is tall and has an imposing presence that demands respect without anger.

Ian Everett and Niall Everett instantly backed down. Although they also wanted to be by their beloved sister’s side, they couldn’t withstand their second brother’s punches!

Second brother was a special forces soldier; the two of them were no match for him!

"Got it, got it, second brother, we won’t compete with you for Serena!" Niall Everett and Ian Everett muttered discontentedly.

Lucky for those two little punks they knew their place!

Seeing this, Steven Everett raised his eyebrows in triumph, but when he turned around, he saw the girl standing behind him.

The pride on Steven Everett’s face disappeared completely. Damn, his actions just now were like a bandit’s; what if he made a bad impression on Serena, and she didn’t like him?

Steven Everett immediately forced a gentle smile onto his rugged face. "I’m actually very gentle. Don’t be afraid of second brother!"

Ian Everett and Niall Everett were rolling their eyes so hard they might fall into the sky. Second brother, does he even have ’gentle’ in him?

Seeing the cold, tough man being so cautious in front of her, Serena couldn’t bear to trouble him either. She nodded obediently, "Mm, I’m not afraid."

Only then did Steven Everett’s face blossom into a smile again, looking at her with full anticipation. "Serena, shall second brother take you to school?"

Serena nodded in agreement; she happened to have something to discuss with him. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NoveI(F)ire.net

Seeing her agreement, Steven Everett was instantly overjoyed, akin to a large dog.

Elliot Everett rubbed his temple helplessly, clearly not expecting Steven Everett to display such clear foolishness. He gave up the idea of competing with him.

Forget it. It’s rare to see him so happy. Let him have this moment!

The assistant strode in and respectfully reported to Elliot Everett.

"President Everett, CHANEL has released its latest styles. Should I do as before and order all of them, and send them to Miss Serena’s room?"

"Mm." Elliot Everett nodded in approval, then added, "Remember to send the latest styles to the Sutton Family as well."

"Yes, President Everett."

The assistant responded respectfully but couldn’t help but smile as he spoke.

"President Everett, everything you send Miss Serena, there’s a share for Miss Sutton too. Anyone who doesn’t know might think you’ve added another sister!"

He had never seen their President so attentive to any woman other than Miss Serena. Could it be that Miss Sutton is the future boss lady?

Upon hearing this, Elliot Everett lowered his gaze deep in thought, his slender fingers lightly tapping the desk.

Indeed, he seemed to care far more for Nancy Sutton than others...

However, Elliot Everett explained it to himself in his mind.

Nancy is as gentle and understanding as Serena; there’s nothing abnormal about treating her specially!

With this thought, Elliot Everett stopped dwelling on it and returned to a serious demeanor, sneering coldly within.

He would not behave like Damian Quinn, that old beast, by pursuing someone much younger!

"Second brother, I’ve arranged with The Apothecary Hall. You just need to mention my name there, and they’ll give you the medicine."

Steven Everett was incredibly touched. He had shared his dilemma with Serena yesterday, and she remembered it and sorted it all out by today!

His precious sister truly is an angel!

"Alright, Serena, second brother is so grateful to you!"

With this medicine, even if they get injured during missions, they’ll recover quickly. This is incredibly beneficial to them!

Serena shook her head, "You’re welcome."

They are family, of course, she’d help him. Besides, this wasn’t a difficult task for her.

Steven Everett’s affection for his precious sister grew even more. Not only did she save his life during their most critical moment, but now she’s also helping him solve such a big problem. His precious sister is truly his lucky star!

"Serena, how much do those medicines cost?"

Serena glanced away nonchalantly, "They cost nothing."

Though she liked money, she never tried to profit off her close ones.

"No, Serena!" Steven Everett frowned, determined, "This money has to be paid; second brother won’t take advantage of you."

Seeing his stubbornness, Serena rubbed her temple with her fair fingertips reluctantly and casually quoted a price.

"Alright then, second brother, it’s $100 a bottle."

"What?!" Steven Everett was rarely so shocked, his eyes widening, "That cheap?"

The medicine with such good efficacy is sold so cheaply? That’s truly unbelievable!

Serena remained unfazed and nodded, "Yes, it’s just so cheap!"

If the people from The Apothecary Hall found out Serena sold the medicine at $100 a bottle, they’d be pained enough to vomit blood.

In the black market, the small bottle was priced at $100 million a bottle, and there was insufficient supply despite high demand.

It was highly coveted by many.

But to Serena, the medicine was quite simple to develop, being a formula she created at the age of ten. Initially intended for fun, its efficacy turned out to be surprisingly good, so she kept the formula.

Steven Everett was already prepared for major expense, but didn’t anticipate the medicine to be so cheap!

His precious sister really is his lucky star!

Seeing Steven Everett’s happiness, Serena also curled her lips slightly.

"Serena, you know the people at The Apothecary Hall?"

Only then did Steven Everett come to realize that the people from The Apothecary Hall, boasting the backing of The Netherworld Syndicate, acted extravagantly and arrogantly. Serena had only returned to Imperia not long ago, how was she connected with The Apothecary Hall?

"Mm, not really familiar."

Serena lied boldly without a blush.

She wasn’t lying, just a little familiar!

Steven Everett: "..."

How could he not believe?

"Second young master, we’ve arrived in Imperia."

The driver’s voice interrupted Steven Everett’s thoughts. He gently patted the girl’s head, his tone unusually soft.

"Serena, second brother will come to pick you up after school!"

If his men heard such tenderness from him, they’d be shocked silly.
