Chapter 284: Chapter 284

The entire class immediately turned pale with shock, though instinctively they believed Serena.

"But Serena, we drink the water in the classroom every day... and we’ve never had any issues."

Serena’s delicate porcelain-white face was tense, her eyes filled with coldness. "Isn’t it possible that the poisoning only happened today?"

If she hadn’t been sensitized to medicines and poisons since she was young, even she might not have detected the poison in the water!

This showed just how potent the poison was.

"How could this happen... Who poisoned the water dispenser?!"

"Yeah, yeah, Imperia University’s security is very strict... Ugh... My stomach hurts so much..."

Summer Miller, who was talking just fine moments ago, suddenly turned pale and clutched her stomach, crying out in pain.

Serena quickly strode to her side, grabbed her wrist, and began checking her pulse. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs N()velFire.net

Serena’s face grew increasingly grim; she was certain this kind of poison had never before appeared in Celestia and it was incredibly potent. How could it now appear in Celestia...

Before Serena could think further, other classmates were turning pale and clutching their stomachs, groaning in agony.

Serena had to put her thoughts aside and immediately took out her Silver Needles, starting to administer acupuncture to them.

She could only temporarily suppress the toxin to keep them alive and figure out what kind of poison it was later!

Watching this scene, Eleanor Linden bitterly bit her lip, cursing inwardly.

Why didn’t Serena drink it... She was so close, so close to success!

Silas had clearly said this poison was colorless and tasteless, potent, and wouldn’t immediately kill its victim, instead torturing them to feel worse than death, and it would definitely not be detected. But why did that bitch Serena still uncover it?

Even though Eleanor was unwilling, she had to leave, knowing that if she stayed any longer, she’d be found out!

Regardless of today’s outcome, she had bought a ticket to go abroad in advance. Once she left Celestia, Serena wouldn’t be able to do anything to her!

"Serena, Eleanor Linden ran away... It must be her... It must be her who poisoned!"

Summer, now delirious from the pain, still managed to open her mouth weakly when she saw Eleanor rushing out.

"We can’t let her just run away... We must catch her..."

"Don’t worry, she won’t escape."

Serena’s extraordinarily beautiful fox-like eyes glimmered coldly, softly reassuring her, then continued administering the needles to restrain the toxin.

The poisoning of the entire class was highly severe, immediately drawing the school’s urgent attention.

Principal Reed quickly rushed over with Elliot Everett, urgently asking, "Serena, how are they?!"

Administering needles in itself was quite taxing in terms of energy and effort, let alone Serena suppressing the toxin for the entire class at once, which was extremely demanding.

Her delicate, beautiful face had turned even paler than usual. "I’ve suppressed the toxins inside them for now; there should be no immediate threat to life. Uncle Reed, don’t worry, I will find the antidote."

At these words, Principal Reed sighed in relief, "Serena, thank you so much! Uncle Reed is immensely grateful to you!"

As the Principal of Imperia University, he bore responsibility for the students; if such a major incident happened under his watch, he couldn’t escape the blame!

"Let’s send them to the hospital for recovery," Serena methodically directed. "Although I’ve suppressed the toxins inside them with Silver Needles, they are still very weak."

"Okay, okay!" Principal Reed nodded repeatedly, "Serena, I’ll certainly follow your instructions!"

After arranging everything, Serena, with a cold gaze, took out her phone and dialed the man’s number.

"Baby, you should be in class at this time. Why are you calling brother?"

The low, magnetic voice of the man sounded from the other end of the line.

Serena wasted no time, speaking directly, "I need you to immediately seal off all of Imperia."

We can’t let Eleanor escape!

We must catch Eleanor; only by obtaining the poison in her possession can we develop an antidote for this toxin.

Upon hearing this, Damian Quinn’s narrow, deep black eyes narrowed slightly, though he didn’t know why the young lady wanted this, he agreed without hesitation.

"Alright, I’ll handle it right away."

Eleanor eagerly got out of the taxi and rushed toward the airport; she had to catch this flight and leave Celestia!

But as soon as she reached the entrance of the airport, she was stopped by stern staff, "Sorry, you can’t enter."

Eleanor shouted in a panic, "Why are you stopping me from entering? I’m catching this flight, you’re wasting my time, if I can’t catch it, can you be responsible for it?"

"Sorry miss, the order from above is to seal off Imperia. You can’t enter, and we will compensate you afterwards."

Eleanor’s face turned ashen immediately; there was only one person who could act with such authority in Imperia—Damian Quinn...

Damian Quinn actually sealed off all of Imperia for that bitch Serena?!

"Run, let’s see how you run."

A familiar female voice rang out from behind, Eleanor’s heart instantly sank.

She gritted her teeth and turned around, only to see Serena coldly staring at her, exuding an oppressive presence that made people instinctively fear her. Moreover, several police cars were parked behind her.

Eleanor was so frightened that her legs went weak, nearly falling to the ground.

"You’re under suspicion of poisoning, please come with us."

The uniformed police immediately rushed up to arrest Eleanor.

"Let go of me... I didn’t poison anyone... What right do you have to arrest me?!"

Eleanor refused to admit, her eyes venomously fixed on Serena, her face contorted as she shouted.

"I didn’t poison anyone, it’s that bitch Serena who framed me! She’s the one you should catch!"

"Whether you poisoned or not, we will investigate thoroughly. For now, you need to cooperate with our investigation."

But Eleanor shouted more fiercely, "You must have been bribed by that bitch Serena, you’re all conspiring to frame me... ah..."

Before Eleanor finished her rant, Serena swiftly delivered a chop to the back of her head, quick and hard, causing Eleanor to scream and then pass out.

"Now, take her to the station."

The policemen each looked at Serena in disbelief; clearly, the young lady in front of them was quite beautiful and seemed very gentle, yet how could she be so ruthless when acting?!
