Chapter 233: Chapter 233

As soon as the class was over, the classmates gathered around Serena Everett.

"Serena, we’re planning to visit Summer at the hospital. Do you want to join us?"

Remembering that she promised Steven Everett she would wait for him to pick her up after school, Serena shook her head at them. "You guys go ahead. I’ll visit another day."

"Alright!" the classmates nodded and didn’t say much more. "Serena, we’ll leave now!"

Serena lazily picked up her backpack and walked towards the school gate with her long and straight legs. As she watched her classmates leave, Eleanor Linden immediately followed her with a sense of smugness.

"Serena, you probably don’t know yet, but the Quinn Family has already invested in my family. Hahaha, now that the Quinn Family is investing in us, let’s see how the Everett Family can still drive my family to bankruptcy!"

The Quinn Family invested in the Linden Family?

Serena’s beautiful, slightly upturned fox-like eyes narrowed slightly.

Seeing that Serena didn’t respond, Eleanor became even prouder, as if her tail was about to wag happily.

"I heard you have an engagement with Master Damian, but as soon as Crystal Joyce opened her mouth, Master Damian agreed to invest in my family. Tsk tsk tsk, it seems your status as a fiancée in Master Damian’s heart isn’t so great? You can’t compare to Crystal Joyce’s status in his heart!"

"It seems it won’t be long before Master Damian breaks off the engagement, and you’ll become the laughingstock of all of Imperia!"

Just thinking about it excited Eleanor immensely.

Serena, that despicable woman, humiliated her before and almost made her marry that disgusting President Miller. Now, it was finally time for her to get retribution!

"Have you said enough?" Serena stopped and coldly looked at her.

Clearly, there wasn’t much expression on her face, but the aura around her inexplicably instilled fear.

Eleanor couldn’t help but shiver, then forcibly suppressed her fear and arrogantly continued.

"What, did I hit a sore spot, and you can’t handle it, Serena? Hmph, you should take a good look at yourself. You’re just a bumpkin who grew up in the countryside. How could you possibly be worthy of Master Damian? Only a distinguished and graceful lady like Crystal is worthy of him!"

Hearing these words, Serena’s emotions remained unchanged. This infuriated Eleanor, as it felt like punching cotton; the trashy woman, Serena, didn’t react as expected and didn’t get angry. Instead, it was Eleanor who felt irritated!

Eleanor’s face turned extremely unpleasant, and she couldn’t help but blurt out, "I heard you even sent your foster parents, who raised you, to jail. It’s rare to see such an ungrateful and heartless person like you!

Tsk tsk tsk, I’m guessing the old lady who took you in must regret it so much now. You sent her son and granddaughter to jail. If she knew this, she would deeply regret ever taking in a scourge like you. She was truly blind to have picked you up... ah..."

Before Eleanor could finish speaking, she was frightened by the hostility exuding from Serena and screamed.

Serena’s grandmother was her Achilles’ heel, and she wouldn’t tolerate anyone speaking ill of her.

Serena’s exquisite porcelain-white face showed no emotion, but a strong murderous aura surged around her.

"You want to die? I’ll grant your wish!"

She originally planned to wait until Summer’s injuries healed so that Summer could personally exact revenge. That’s why she kept Eleanor alive, but now Eleanor was seeking her own death, and Serena would oblige. Updates are released by novelꜰire.net

"What... what do you want to do, Serena?"

Now truly afraid, Eleanor felt Serena’s murderous aura emanating and her legs trembled, ready to bolt.

Serena’s crimson, moist lips let out a cold sneer, her eyes filled with a murderous glint, and silver needles flew from her slender fingers in an instant.

The next second, Eleanor felt her entire body stiffen, unable to take a step forward; her whole body wouldn’t obey her commands.

"How... how is this happening?!" Eleanor trembled in fear. "Serena, what did you do to me... why can’t I move..."

Serena was expressionless, but the coldness around her deepened, chilling to the bone.

Eleanor grew even more terrified and began to scream, "Serena, what did you do to me... cough cough cough..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was choked and began to cough violently.

"I told you it’s noisy."

Serena’s gaze at Eleanor was cold as if she were looking at a dead body.

"Cough cough cough..."

Eleanor was truly scared now, looking at Serena with horror. The feeling of suffocation was unbearable, and she struggled desperately, but the hands choking her remained unmoved.

"Ser... cough cough cough... Serena, please... let me go..."

Serena remained unmoved, her beautiful fox-like eyes full of hostility.

Just as Eleanor was about to suffocate, a familiar voice was heard.

"Serena, what are you doing?"

Crystal Joyce ran over in shock, trying to stop her.

"Let go of Eleanor, you’re committing murder..."

"Get out of the way."

Completely engulfed in rage, Serena pushed Crystal aside.

Crystal fell heavily to the ground, her already sickly face turning even paler, looking extremely painful.

This was a sign of her condition acting up...

Serena’s attention was diverted by her, noticing her extremely painful state, and she was about to check on her when Silas arrived.

Seeing Crystal on the ground, his expression changed instantly. "Miss Crystal... Miss Crystal, what’s wrong?"

While Serena was distracted, Eleanor seized the opportunity to break free from her grasp and shouted.

"Silas, you’re right on time! It was her! It was Serena who purposely pushed Crystal, causing her to end up . I saw it with my own eyes!"

"How dare you intentionally harm Miss Crystal!"

Silas’s expression turned grim and he glared at Serena with such malice, as if he wanted to skin her alive.

"For daring to harm Miss Crystal, I’ll make sure you pay the price."

With those words, a fierce strike aimed directly at Serena’s vital point, a vicious move that would leave her crippled if it hit.

Serena’s expression darkened completely, and just as she was about to make her move, another set of hands acted faster, intercepting the attack and delivering a heavy kick to Silas’s abdomen.

Like a kite with a broken string, Silas fell heavily to the ground, screaming and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Damian Quinn’s eyes were cold and frightening, seething with violence at the thought of how close Silas came to harming his little lady.

Even Silas couldn’t help but feel fear, suppressing the pain to crawl up from the ground and kneel in repentance.

But Damian clearly had no plans to let him go, striding towards Silas, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Master Damian, no..."
