Chapter 278: Chapter 278
Early the next morning.
Serena Everett arrived at the classroom right on time, her delicate brows and eyes tinged with a hint of drowsiness. She lazily sprawled across the desk.
"Serena, did you have breakfast? I brought some dumplings, would you like to try some?"
Summer Miller and her friends gathered around, clearly enjoying being near Serena.
Serena remained lazily sprawled across the desk, "I’ve had breakfast, you guys go ahead."
Summer and her friends nodded obediently, and then inadvertently noticed the hickey on Serena’s neck, causing them all to break into aunt-like smiles.
"Hehehe... Serena, you rest, you rest, we won’t disturb you!"
As soon as the words were spoken, Summer and her friends returned to their seats, whispering gossip amongst themselves.
"Did you just see it? Serena’s neck had a bunch of kiss marks!!!"
"I saw it, I saw it! Ahhh, it’s obvious Serena and Master Damian were up all night... cough cough cough..."
"Hehehe, no wonder Serena looks so tired today... let’s not bother her today!"
Seeing their expressions, Serena knew they were thinking the wrong thing and helplessly rubbed her brows with her onion-white fingertips.
She just hadn’t slept well last night, and that’s why she was drowsy today!
But Serena couldn’t be bothered to explain because even if she did, they wouldn’t believe her.
Meanwhile, in the corner, Eleanor Linden watched all this with such jealousy that she almost ground her teeth to powder.
That shameless woman Serena Everett has already gotten cozy with Damian Quinn so quickly! She truly is a low-life!
[When are you going to bring her over? You wretched bitch, you better not be lying to me!]
Seeing President Miller’s urging text, Eleanor’s eyes grew more sinister, and she quickly replied.
[Don’t worry, President Miller. I’ll bring her to you after class today. Just wait and enjoy!]
Sure enough, as soon as the message was sent, President Miller replied with satisfaction.
[Great, I’ll be waiting for you to bring her over. If you serve me well, there will be benefits for you!]
Eleanor put away her phone, the malice in her eyes almost spilling over.
As long as she delivers Serena Everett to President Miller, not only will she get the repayment for all the debts from her family’s bankruptcy, but Serena will also fall into disgrace!
A man as noble as Damian Quinn would absolutely never want a tarnished woman like her! Hahaha, she will make sure Serena experiences what it’s like to lose everything.
Serena lazily rose, feeling much better after a good sleep, and heard Jude Ford’s somewhat excited voice through the earpiece.
"Boss, just got another offer. Someone’s willing to pay a billion dollars for you to treat their illness. If you can cure it, they’ll add another five billion!"
Hearing this, Serena was a bit intrigued, but Jude’s voice came again.
"But the location is in Ystoria..."
Serena spoke without hesitation, "Refuse it."
She had already promised her third brother to help at the military base, so she didn’t have time to go to Ystoria.
Although Jude felt a bit regretful, he still nodded in agreement, "Alright, Boss, I’ll go refuse them now!"
Serena replied in a casual tone and strode with her fair, straight legs toward the school gate, when suddenly a voice called out from behind.
Eleanor Linden hurriedly caught up, blocking her path.
"Get lost." Follow current novᴇls on novel★fire.net
Serena’s delicate brows and eyes showed a hint of impatience, making her look both cold and irritable, quite intimidating.
Eleanor felt her body involuntarily tremble slightly under Serena’s imposing presence, barely suppressing her fear to avoid collapsing.
She gave Serena a resentful look, but her face displayed a repentant expression.
"Serena, I now realize that what I did before was way over the line. I really see my mistakes now and sincerely want to make amends. I hope you can give me a chance to change!"
"I’m in the same class as you, seeing how nice you are to Summer and the others, while always being annoyed with me. It really hurts me, I don’t want to be isolated by you guys anymore..."
Serena coldly watched Eleanor’s tearful display, her voice icy, "Had enough pretending? Then get lost."
Seeing Serena unmoved, Eleanor glared at her with eyes seemingly poisoned, but continued to feign pity.
"Serena, I’ve realized my mistakes and sincerely apologize, pleading for your forgiveness. Why can’t you give me a chance? My family’s already bankrupt because of you and I have nothing! Why won’t you forgive me? Are you trying to force me to my death?!"
It’s been a while since facing such thick-skinned shamelessness!
Serena’s luscious, moist red lips curled into a cold arc, "Don’t try to morally coerce me. You’re in this situation because of your own actions. Who says apologizing means forgiveness?"
Eleanor was struck speechless, her face turning terribly ugly.
Serena couldn’t be bothered to waste more time with her and turned to leave.
However, Eleanor’s eyes flashed with insidiousness, taking the opportunity to pull out a prepared packet of medicine from her pocket, and pressed it to Serena’s face.
"Serena, go to hell!"
Eleanor shouted viciously, full of pride.
The packet contained a large amount of drugs; ordinary people would fall unconscious upon inhalation, losing awareness.
Sure enough, after inhaling the drug from the packet, Serena’s body faltered, falling into unconsciousness.
Seeing Serena in a coma, Eleanor’s face showed greater smugness.
She had been arrogant in front of her before, and now she was in her hands?!
But then Eleanor’s eyes filled with intense jealousy. Even unconscious, Serena was stunningly beautiful; she wanted to ruin that vixen’s face!
If not for President Miller waiting for her, Eleanor would’ve been unable to resist gouging her face with jealousy.
Yet soon Eleanor sneered, thinking how President Miller was almost 50, obese and ugly, repulsing everyone.
Serena being ruined by such a disgusting thing would be worse than death for her!
Just thinking about it made Eleanor feel exceedingly pleased.
A van drove out from a hidden spot, and Eleanor quickly loaded the unconscious Serena, heading straight for the hotel.
Once Serena was delivered to the hotel room, President Miller rushed over eagerly.
"Why did you just arrive? I’ve been waiting so impatiently..."
President Miller’s words were cut short as his eyes were drawn to the unconscious girl. Dazzled, his lecherous gaze deepened, rubbing his hands in excitement.
"She’s even more beautiful than the photos you sent me. I’ve really struck gold, hahaha!"
"President Miller, I’ve brought her to you. Don’t forget our deal to clear my family’s debts!"
"Of course!" President Miller couldn’t contain his urgency, "Head out, I’ll sort out repayment after I’m satisfied!"
Eleanor took another look at the unconscious Serena and then to the eager President Miller, her lips curved with satisfaction, and promptly exited.
President Miller’s gaze grew even more lascivious, "Hehe, darling, here I come..."
