Chapter 279: Chapter 279

Eleanor Linden quickly stepped out of the room, hearing President Miller’s lewd voice, a smirk forming on her lips, she immediately took out her phone to contact President Miller’s wife.

President Miller’s wife was notoriously jealous and had no reservations about dealing with the women around him. Soon, she would bring people over to catch them in the act.

By then, that bitch Serena Everett would not only be severely dealt with by President Miller’s wife, but the affair between her and President Miller would also be exposed.

Words like shameless and seducing a married man would be firmly pinned on Serena Everett, and she would become a disgrace in all of Imperia!

Once this scandal breaks out, the Everett Family would certainly sever ties with that bitch Serena, and Damian Quinn would definitely loathe her to the core!

Just thinking about it excited Eleanor Linden to no end, but she immediately frowned, feeling an inexplicable unease.

How could it be so quiet in the room? By now, the effects of the drug should have worn off, and that bitch Serena should have woken up, especially since she also lit the aphrodisiac in the room...

The silence in the room was alarming!

The unease in Eleanor Linden’s heart grew, and she quickly pushed open the door and walked in.

She had painstakingly arranged all of this, and she would not allow any mistakes. Today, she must utterly ruin that bitch Serena Everett!

But as soon as she entered the room, her neck was tightly gripped by a pair of delicate hands, while President Miller was lying unconscious on the floor like a dead pig.

Serena Everett’s hands were beautiful, seemingly weak, but no matter how Eleanor Linden struggled, she couldn’t break free. She was being strangled so hard she could barely breathe and was close to suffocating.

"Cough cough cough... how could this be..."

The drug she gave that bitch Serena should have left her powerless even if she woke up, so why didn’t she look drugged at all?!

Serena Everett’s icy cold gaze fell on her, a snort echoing, full of mockery.

"You think your petty tricks can trap me?"

"Cough cough cough..." Eleanor Linden spoke with full of indignation, "But you clearly... were drugged by me..."

"You think your weak drug could put me down?"

The mockery in Serena Everett’s eyes deepened, "I just wanted to see what you were up to, so I played along."

Who knew her methods would be this lowly.

Eleanor Linden was shocked and spiteful, her eyes widening.

That bitch Serena hadn’t fallen prey to her schemes at all. Instead, she had been toying with her from the start?!

Damn it... why could she ridicule her ?!

"Cough cough cough... Serena, let go of me... cough cough cough..."

Eleanor Linden’s gaze was as vicious as if it had been poisoned, glaring at her, but the grip on her neck only tightened, and she couldn’t breathe.

If this continued, she was definitely going to die!

Serena responded lazily, dropping her onto the floor like a piece of trash, carefully wiping her hands with a handkerchief.

"Cough cough cough..."

Eleanor Linden coughed violently for a while, greedily gulping in the air, looking utterly miserable.

Serena leaned lazily against the wall, her long, straight legs casually bent, speaking leisurely, "Does the scent of aphrodisiac smell good to you?"

Only then did Eleanor Linden suddenly remember, she had lit a large amount of aphrodisiac in the room to humiliate that bitch Serena Everett.

And she had inhaled it all herself just now...

Eleanor Linden’s face suddenly turned pale. She wanted to flee the room, only to find her entire body weak, unable to muster any strength, and a tingling emptiness rising within her...

Serena’s exceptionally beautiful, cold fox eyes looked at her devoid of emotion.

The aphrodisiac Eleanor Linden lit in the room was potent, but unfortunately had no effect on her. But on an ordinary person like Eleanor, it was extremely effective.

The effect of the aphrodisiac was unbearable for Eleanor, and her hateful gaze landed on Serena.

"Serena, you’ve already done this to me, what more do you want?!"

"Nothing." Serena tilted her head carelessly, "Just returning to you what you tried to do to me."

With those words, Serena flicked her delicate fingers, and silver needles flew out, piercing precisely into the unconscious body of President Miller.

Before long, President Miller woke up. Having inhaled too much aphrodisiac, his eyes were bloodshot with lost sanity, lunging at Eleanor like a beast.

"Get off... ah... get off..."

As Serena walked out of the hotel, she received a call from Academician Miller.

"Hehe, Serena, you haven’t come to the research institute lately, Grandpa misses you!"

Serena blinked slowly, unhesitatingly exposing him, "Grandpa Miller, you mean you miss my money."

Academician Miller, caught in his little lie, gave an embarrassed cough.

"Serena, what are you saying? Of course, Grandpa misses you; it’s just your pocket money I miss a bit!"

Serena clicked her tongue against her back teeth.

"So, how much do you need this time?"

On the other end, Academician Miller’s tone turned fawning.

"Serena, don’t worry! I don’t need much this time, just 8 billion! 8 billion, and you won’t regret spending it!"

On the other end, Academician Miller continued rambling, "Serena, Grandpa Miller has been quite frugal, it’s not much! Developing the chip is really hard!"

Serena rubbed her temples with her delicate fingers, "Grandpa Miller, why don’t you just rob a bank then."

"Oh, Serena, look at what you’re saying! Where would a bank have as much money as you!"

Even with her wealth, they’d soon drain her dry!

Serena sighed, but stopping the research experiment was not an option. She transferred the 8 billion immediately. Google seaʀᴄh novel-fire.net

Receiving the money, Academician Miller beamed with joy.

"Serena, you’re so generous, Grandpa is off to research, have time to meet for a meal!"

Supporting this group of money-guzzling researchers, she really had to keep making money!

Serena dropped her exceptionally beautiful fox eyes in thought for a moment, then dialed Jude Ford’s number.

The call was instantly connected.

Serena’s cool voice sounded unhurried, "Tell them, I’ll take their order, but the appointment time is up to me."

She needed to deal with the hacker intrusion at the military base before heading to Ystoria.

Jude: "Okay, boss, I’ll go reply to them now!"

Seeing the banking notification for the account deposit, Academician Miller finally relaxed, letting out a long breath.

Thankfully, there was Serena. Without that funding, research couldn’t continue...

Academician Miller turned and walked into the laboratory, receiving a video call from Bianca Everett.

"Professor." Bianca’s respectful voice came from the video.

Academician Miller nodded: "Mm, has the experiment over there been completed? When are you coming back to Imperia?"

"I’ve booked a flight for the day after tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Academician Miller immediately beamed with joy, "That’s wonderful! With you back, and Serena too, the chip research will definitely progress more smoothly! You’re both my valuable assistants, can’t miss out on either of you!"

Bianca couldn’t help but recall the previous brash and arrogant girl, her brows furrowing.

He still remembered how arrogant she had been at first, and once he returned to Imperia, he needed to knock her down a peg or two!

Then, thinking about returning to Imperia the day after tomorrow, he could see his younger sister. Bianca’s cold, handsome face rarely showed signs of nervousness.

He hoped his sister would like him...
