Chapter 286: Chapter 286
Serena Everett had just walked out of the police station when she saw the distinguished and aloof man standing not far away.
Seeing his little girl, Damian Quinn immediately strode over, holding her hand tightly. His long, deep eyes rarely showed a flicker of dread.
Thankfully, his little girl was unharmed...
Seeing his expression, Serena knew that he was already aware of what had happened today and spoke softly to comfort him.
"I’m fine, there’s no need to worry."
Damian Quinn lovingly patted the girl’s head, his voice turning cold, "Who did all this?"
Whoever dared to harm his little girl, he wouldn’t let any of them go!
Serena lightly pressed her red lips, "Eleanor Linden confessed. She said the poison was given to her by Silas."
Damian Quinn’s aura instantly darkened, and then his eyes filled with endless murderous intent, chilling to the bone.
"He actually dared to do such a thing."
Looking at the man full of hostility, Serena proactively reached out her small hand to hold his, silently soothing him.
Damian Quinn also realized his loss of composure,
"Where is Silas now?"
Chase Sherman, standing by, restrained his fear and respectfully spoke, "Master Damian, Silas is currently recuperating in the hospital."
The last time Master Damian was enraged, he punished Silas by sending him to The Black Vault where he suffered severe injuries, nearly losing his life. He has been in the hospital recuperating and has not yet been discharged.
Hearing this, Serena immediately spoke up, "Let’s go to the hospital first."
She felt that the matter wasn’t so simple and needed to be investigated further...
Damian Quinn initially intended to throw Silas into The Black Vault, to torture him until life was worse than death. Whoever dared to harm his little girl, letting them die easily was too cheap a punishment.
But the little girl had her own thoughts, so Damian Quinn did not oppose and nodded solemnly in agreement, "Alright."
Half an hour later, a black Rolls-Royce stopped at the entrance of the hospital.
As Serena and her group walked to the ward’s entrance, they heard a conversation coming from inside.
"Miss Crystal, thank you for visiting me often..."
Silas gazed deeply at Crystal Joyce, eyes filled with intense love, but it was firmly repressed, not daring to show any of it.
"You don’t have to be so polite with me! When I was ill, you were the one who always stayed by my side!" Crystal Joyce spoke gently, "When I was abroad for treatment, unfamiliar with the place, without anyone to accompany me, you were the one by my side. Now it’s just the other way around!"
Hearing these words, Silas’s gaze on her became even more tender.
Such a kind and wonderful Miss Crystal, he must ensure she remains happy and joyful, and never allow anyone to harm her!
Crystal Joyce didn’t notice his thoughts, smiling sweetly at him, "Silas, I hope you recover soon! Then you can be by my side to protect me again; I’m not used to not having you around during this time!"
Silas hadn’t had a chance to speak when the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open.
When he saw Serena Everett with her long strides entering, the softness in Silas’s eyes instantly vanished, replaced by coldness and full hostility.
"What are you doing here?"
No sooner had Silas said this than the man’s authoritative voice rang out coldly.
"Is this how you treat my fiancée?"
Damian Quinn stood behind the girl, his captivating eyes narrowed dangerously, exuding a frightening aura.
Seeing Damian Quinn, Silas’s expression immediately changed, and he called out respectfully. Under his pressure, Silas unwillingly turned to Serena and spoke.
Serena took in Silas’s earlier expression, lightly pressing her tongue against her back teeth, tch, he was very hostile towards her!
She hadn’t paid much attention to him before, so naturally, she hadn’t sensed his strong hostility towards her.
"Damian, Serena, why are you here?" Crystal Joyce looked at them puzzled, breaking the heavy atmosphere.
Serena spoke coldly, "Eleanor Linden poisoned at school today, causing more than 30 classmates to be poisoned, nearly losing their lives." ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NoveIFire.net
"What, how could she do such a thing!" Crystal Joyce exclaimed, then frowned in distress.
Serena’s cold gaze fell on Silas, observing his every move, she slowly spoke.
"She has already been arrested by the police. She says the poison she had was given by you, and you instigated her to do it."
"Nonsense!" Silas immediately denied it, his face full of anger, "How could I instruct Eleanor to do such a thing?!"
"But Eleanor personally identified you as the one who instructed her to poison."
"Master Damian, I’m wrongly accused. I have been recovering in the hospital this whole time, never left! I have never even met Eleanor Linden, some people must be trying to frame me!"
Silas bit particularly hard on the words "some people," looking at Serena from time to time as he said this.
"Yes, Damian, Silas is seriously injured, and he hasn’t left the hospital!" Crystal Joyce bit her lip lightly, speaking with difficulty, "Although I don’t know why Eleanor identified Silas, I believe this is absolutely not something Silas did!"
Silas also spoke in a deep voice, "Master Damian, if you don’t believe it, you can check the surveillance footage. I have never left the hospital during my recovery."
Damian Quinn remained unmoved by the words of the two, turning to Serena.
He only listened to his little girl, everything was done according to her wishes.
Seeing this scene, Silas’s expression worsened, clenching his teeth in frustration. His dissatisfaction and hostility towards Serena deepened.
In just a short time, she had captivated Damian, making him follow her every word, truly impressive!
Serena gently pinched her fingertips. Before arriving, she had already hacked into the hospital’s surveillance system. Just as Silas said, he hadn’t left the hospital during his recovery.
Yet, Eleanor’s statements didn’t seem like lies either...
"Master Damian, Miss Serena, we’ve acquired Eleanor’s phone. Her recent call log indeed contains two unknown numbers, matching the times she claimed Silas contacted her."
Chase Sherman strode in, respectfully handing the phone over to Serena.
"Impossible!" Silas denied it out loud, veins popping on his forehead, "I never contacted Eleanor! And this phone number isn’t mine; I’m being framed!"
"Whether you’re being framed or not will be known soon enough."
Serena took the phone that Chase handed over, her slender fingers quickly tapping on the phone.
Seeing this, a look of surprise flashed in Silas’s eyes, Serena, this woman, actually knew hacking techniques. He had underestimated her before... she wasn’t just a pretty face and nothing else...
