Chapter 265: Chapter 265

After dinner, Old Mrs. Quinn couldn’t bear to let her go back, and persuaded her to stay overnight at the manor.

"Serena, it’s been so long since you’ve come to see Grandma. Stay with me today!"

Seeing the expectant look on Old Mrs. Quinn’s face, Serena couldn’t bear to refuse and nodded in agreement, "Alright."

When Serena agreed to stay, Old Mrs. Quinn couldn’t have been happier, "That’s wonderful, I’ll have them prepare the guest room."

Crystal Joyce stood aside, watching Old Mrs. Quinn’s face full of an uncontrollable smile and happiness, lowering her eyes.

Old Mrs. Quinn liked peace and didn’t like keeping people overnight at the manor, but now she insisted on having Serena stay... She had never received such treatment...

"Grandma, I’ll stay and keep you company today too."

The man’s deep, magnetic voice sounded unhurried.

Old Mrs. Quinn saw through his intentions at once, teasing with a smile, "Are you staying to keep me company or to stay with Serena? Normally, you wouldn’t stay at the manor, but today you’re so attentive! Look, are you afraid I’ll steal your precious fiancée? You’re watching her so closely!"

Facing Old Mrs. Quinn’s teasing, Damian Quinn remained unfazed, holding the girl’s hand with his beautiful, art-like hands, his eyebrows raised with a lazy smile.

"Grandma, I only have this one little fiancée, of course, I need to keep a close watch."

Moreover, his little girl was so outstanding, there were quite a few men coveting her!

Seeing how well they got along, Old Mrs. Quinn naturally couldn’t stop smiling, utterly delighted.

Watching their warm atmosphere, Crystal Joyce felt her continued presence was superfluous, biting her lip and softly saying, "Grandma Quinn, it’s getting late, I won’t stay and disturb your rest."

Old Mrs. Quinn nodded, "Good, you’re considerate, coming all this way to see me, Crystal, I appreciate it, but you’re not in good health, there’s no need for you to make such a long trip again, taking care of yourself is most important."

The high society of Imperia often propagated rumors; previously, they spread false stories causing the Everett Family to disapprove of the marriage, now that the Everett Family had reluctantly agreed to the marriage, she couldn’t allow any more mistakes!

So it’s better to avoid suspicion, to prevent any more gossip from spreading.

Crystal Joyce understood the implicit refusal in Old Mrs. Quinn’s words, lowering her head to hide her expression, but eventually nodded obediently.

"Thank you, Grandma Quinn, for caring about my health. I’ll take good care of myself."

"Good, good, good!" Old Mrs. Quinn responded kindly, then turned to instruct the butler, "Butler, please see Crystal out."

Crystal Joyce followed the butler out of the manor, and once she stepped outside, the smile on her face disappeared, her mood visibly downcast.

As soon as she saw Crystal, Eleanor Linden hurried over to complain.

"I told them I’m your good friend, yet they still wouldn’t let me in! It’s outrageous, you need to teach them a lesson!"

She knew Crystal was visiting Old Mrs. Quinn, so she eagerly came along too. If she could win Old Mrs. Quinn’s favor, let’s see how that shameless Serena could still be proud in front of her!

But unexpectedly, when she reached the entrance, she was stopped by the security, and even mentioning Crystal’s name didn’t help, which infuriated her.

Crystal Joyce looked at her in surprise, "Eleanor, why are you here?"

Eleanor Linden, noticing Crystal’s bad mood, quickly put on a concerned face, "I’m here to pick you up. What’s wrong, Crystal? You don’t seem happy..."

Crystal Joyce lowered her head, "I went to see Grandma Quinn, and Master Damian and Serena were there too. Once Serena arrived, Grandma Quinn’s attention was all on her, and I felt like an outsider, so unnecessary..."

"That Serena did it on purpose! Crystal, as soon as you went to visit Old Mrs. Quinn, she brought Master Damian there, clearly trying to show you up!" Eleanor Linden immediately added fuel to the fire, "Serena wants to take everything from you! You can’t let her continue, otherwise soon you will have nothing!"

Crystal Joyce tightly bit her lip, saying nothing.

But Eleanor Linden smirked proudly, soon she would trick this fool Crystal Joyce into dealing with that bitch Serena!

Serena stayed with Old Mrs. Quinn chatting until she needed to rest, reluctantly letting her leave.

"Miss Serena, Master Damian’s room is off-limits, please go ahead!" A servant led Serena to Damian Quinn’s room door, saying respectfully.

Serena casually nodded, pushing the door open with her slender fingers, striding in with her long, straight legs.

The man had just come out of the shower, wearing only a robe, the belt loosely tied, his chiseled abs vaguely visible, exuding extreme seduction, the whole person appearing very enticing. Fınd the newest release on novel※fire.net

Serena hadn’t expected to see such a scene upon entering, her delicate eyebrows lazily raised, her gaze fixed on the man’s well-defined abs, momentarily forgetting her reason for seeking him out.

Noticing the girl’s gaze, Damian Quinn chuckled softly, not tightening the loose collar, instead opening it a bit more, his voice lazy and teasing, full of temptation.

"Baby, do you want to touch brother?"

This man was starting to flirt again!

Serena’s ears grew a bit warm, meeting the teasing in the man’s eyes, she raised her delicate chin with a mix of pride and consent.

Seeing the girl agree just like that, Damian Quinn raised an eyebrow, a low chuckle escaping his throat, tantalizingly charming, "Baby, brother is ready..."

Soon he’ll face the consequences!

Serena’s exceptionally beautiful fox-like eyes sparkled with mischief, her slender fingers slipped inside the man’s loose collar, randomly touching his abs, even mischievously poking them.

After all, she wasn’t the one who had to take another shower later!

Feeling the girl’s soft, boneless hand randomly touching his abs, Damian Quinn’s body instantly tensed, a surge of heat rising within.

He hadn’t expected the girl to dare to touch him ...

Damian Quinn’s adam’s apple bobbed up and down, suppressing the waves of temptation, gritting his teeth, truly trapping himself.

Serena only felt the man’s abs suddenly become rock hard, unable to resist commenting.

But Damian Quinn’s adam’s apple moved even more vigorously, he closed his dark, captivating eyes in restraint.

Did the girl even know what she was saying...

Seeing the man’s restrained appearance, Serena’s exceptionally beautiful fox-like eyes deepened with mischief, her slender fingers continued to randomly touch downwards...
