Chapter 311: Chapter 311

"Miss Crystal, what do you want from me?" Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs N0velFire.ɴet

Seeing Crystal Joyce, a hint of surprise appeared on Gael Quinn’s face, while Niall Everett, beside him, lost his rebellious demeanor and looked at her with a bit of restraint and shyness.

Crystal Joyce said softly, "My driver had something come up and can’t pick me up. Can I catch a ride with you to the old house? I haven’t visited Grandma Quinn in a while either."

"Of course!" Gael Quinn naturally agreed to this small request right away.

The smile in Crystal Joyce’s clear, innocent doe-like eyes deepened a bit, looking increasingly pure and lovely.

"Come on!" Gael Quinn waved dismissively, "Miss Crystal, why are you being so polite with me? You’ve got a cat now; it looks very well-behaved!"

Niall Everett’s gaze also fell on the kitten in her arms, immediately recognizing its striking similarity to the little ginger cat that had been sadly tortured before, and his eyes instantly turned complicated.

Having achieved her goal, a flash of pride quickly appeared in Crystal Joyce’s eyes, though her face maintained a sweet smile.

"Doesn’t it look a lot like that little ginger cat we had before? The first moment I saw it, I felt like maybe it’s the ginger cat coming back to me in another form!"

"This time, I will certainly protect it well and never let it get hurt again!"

Hearing these words, the way Niall Everett looked at her grew even softer; she was truly the kindest girl aside from Serena!

Crystal Joyce was an expert at reading people and had already guessed all of Niall Everett’s thoughts, her mouth curling subtly in a smug gesture.

It seemed that before long, she would successfully win over Niall Everett! By then, she’d have another pawn to use!

Half an hour later, the car smoothly arrived at The Science Guild.

As Bianca Everett stepped into the hall, she was immediately surrounded by people. Because Serena rarely made public appearances, very few people could recognize her, and they all rushed to flatter Bianca instead.

"Third Young Master, you finally returned to the country. Our Celestia’s research community needs talents like you!"

"Yes, absolutely, Third Young Master, we’ve been eagerly anticipating your return to Imperia!"

"Third Young Master, you’re Academician Miller’s most outstanding student, and the best among the younger generation in the research field!"

The best among the younger generation should be their darling little sister instead!

Bianca Everett was about to speak when they gave her no chance, chiming in one after another.

"Absolutely, Third Young Master, we toast this to you; you must drink this with us!"

Serena already disliked such occasions, preferring a tranquil environment and finding a corner to rest quietly.

"Are you the arrogant little girl who upset the Third Young Master?"

Upon hearing this suddenly harsh voice, Serena impatiently furrowed her brows, raising her incredibly beautiful eyes to gaze icily over.

Meeting her gaze, Cole Sawyer felt a chill surge from his feet to the top of his head, shivering in fear.

How could a little girl have such a strong presence?!

Serena merely glanced at him and then disdainfully withdrew her gaze, coldly spitting out the word from her luscious, watery red lips.

Cole Sawyer was clearly taken aback that someone dared to tell him to get lost, his face instantly changing with rage, momentarily forgetting his initial fear, and angrily speaking.

"Do you dare insult me? Do you know who I am?!"

Always relying on his position in The Science Guild to arbitrarily bully others, no one had ever dared to speak to him like that; he had never endured such affront!

Serena leaned lazily on the sofa, her long legs casually bent, embodying an impeccable posture of authority, "Do you know who I am?"

"Just an ordinary brat, and I should know who you are?!" Cole Sawyer sneered disdainfully at once, clearly despising her, "I tell you, I’m the Vice President of The Science Guild; if you know what’s good for you, apologize for what you just said!"

Cole Sawyer initially thought his words would frighten Serena into apologizing, giving him a chance to thoroughly humiliate her, thereby currying favor with Bianca Everett!

But who could have guessed that Serena’s exquisite, porcelain-like face not only showed no signs of fear but instead curved her red lips in amusement.

"A mere Vice President, and you think I owe you an apology?"

"Such an arrogant, ignorant little girl!" Cole Sawyer was so furious he trembled, glaring at her viciously, "You had Academician Miller’s protection before, but now even he can’t help you!"

Though Academician Miller held a high position in the research field, he’s aging and in a few years would likely step down for someone more capable, probably Bianca Everett.

For this reason, Cole was eagerly trying every trick to gain Bianca Everett’s favor, securing his position!

"If you continue with this arrogance, I’ll have you expelled from the research community!"

Just as Cole Sawyer finished his proud proclamation, a voice filled with anger boomed from behind him.

"Who do you want expelled from the research community?!"

Seeing Bianca Everett, Cole’s face quickly turned ingratiating, "Third Young Master, of course, I’m telling this ignorantly arrogant little girl to get out of the research community, after all, she didn’t show respect to you..."
