Chapter 320: Chapter 320

"It was you! You set me up!" Mrs. Langley angrily pointed at Serena, immediately crying out her grievance, "Old Mrs. Quinn, she put the necklace on me when I wasn’t paying attention!"

"Where’s the evidence?" Serena lazily curled her red lips and retorted.

This question quickly stumped Mrs. Langley. She bit her teeth in hatred, realizing she hadn’t paid attention when Serena bumped into her earlier. She had no evidence!

Old Mrs. Quinn didn’t believe her at all, looking at her with the coldest gaze possible, "At this point, you’re still slandering Serena, you’re simply beyond saving!"

"No, Old Mrs. Quinn, what I’m saying is true, she really did frame me!"

Mrs. Langley was now completely panicked, she hadn’t expected her attempt to backfire, and desperately looked towards Crystal Joyce.

Crystal cursed internally but put on a troubled expression, "Grandma Quinn, Mrs. Langley has been with me for so long, I know what kind of person she is, I believe she’s not someone with dirty hands!"

"Yes, yes, Old Mrs. Quinn!" Mrs. Langley immediately began crying miserably, "If I wanted to steal Miss Crystal’s necklace, I wouldn’t need to wait until now, I could’ve stolen it long ago. Old Mrs. Quinn, I’ve truly been wronged!"

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Quinn hesitated for a moment but still spoke coldly, "But the necklace was found on you, the evidence is irrefutable!"

Mrs. Langley cried her grievance even more fiercely, "Old Mrs. Quinn, I was truly framed! When Miss Everett bumped into me before, I suspect it was then she put the necklace in my pocket..."

"Are you implying my young fiancée framed you?"

Damian Quinn walked downstairs with large strides, his devilishly handsome face icy cold, looking at Mrs. Langley as if she were already dead, frightening her into shivering, unable to take a breath.

Damian Quinn had already learned the whole story from Chase Sherman, radiating a chilling aura that was bone-chilling.

"Throw her out of Imperia."

Anyone who dared to slander his little girl had to pay the price.

Mrs. Langley couldn’t accept this result; if she got thrown out of Imperia, she’d have to return to her rural home. How could the rural life compare to serving Crystal Joyce in Imperia!

Forcing herself to overcome her fear, she spoke boldly, "Master Damian, I didn’t steal the necklace, I did nothing wrong, you can’t just throw me out of Imperia !"

Facing Mrs. Langley’s desperate stance, Damian Quinn didn’t even lift an eyelid, his voice cold and merciless, "Throw her into The Black Vault, she can come out when she confesses."

He was always on his little girl’s side no matter the right or wrong, especially since Mrs. Langley slandered her first!

Upon hearing she was to be thrown into The Black Vault, Mrs. Langley’s face turned deathly pale, her legs trembling violently in fear.

The kind of place The Black Vault was could take half a person’s life in one visit, and given her age... if she were really tossed in, it might cost her a full life!

"Miss Crystal, please save me! I don’t want to be thrown into The Black Vault, Miss Crystal, you must save me!"

Crystal didn’t want to help a foolish failure, but to maintain her kind image, she spoke up.

"Damian, Mrs. Langley is old, she’s likely unable to withstand the punishment in The Black Vault!"

Yet Damian Quinn didn’t soften his stance due to her plea, coldly instructing Chase Sherman, "Take her away."

Chase Sherman immediately responded respectfully, "Yes, Master Damian!"

Crystal’s eyes reddened, softly pleading, trying to make Damian Quinn relent.

"No matter what, Mrs. Langley has looked after me for so many years; even if she lacks merit, she deserves credit. I hope Damian you can overlook it for my sake this time!"

"What is your face worth?"

Damian Quinn’s narrow, deep black eyes looked at her without emotion, his voice cold and indifferent.

Listening to Damian Quinn’s uncharitable words, Crystal’s hands clenched tightly at her sides, a flash of darkness quickly passing through her eyes, as she bit her lip in humiliation.

This was the first time he didn’t show her any face in front of everyone!

Damian Quinn’s complete attention was on the girl, naturally taking her hand, his tone a complete opposite from just now, gentle beyond words.

"Baby, are you satisfied with how this is handled?"

In consideration of the past favor from the Joyce Family, he could agree to any of her requests, but if it concerned his little girl, his first choice would always be Serena.

He would wrong everyone else, but never his little girl!

Serena casually nodded, her tone quite nonchalant, "Hmm, it’s okay." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel·fiɾe·net

Witnessing this scene, Mrs. Langley completely understood who truly called the shots in the Quinn Family, not only did Old Mrs. Quinn follow Serena’s words religiously, but even Damian Quinn prioritized her in everything.

In Damian Quinn’s heart, Crystal Joyce’s status couldn’t compare to Serena’s at all; she expecting Crystal to save her was simply impossible!

Realizing this, Mrs. Langley instantly regretted so much she could turn blue with regret, if she had stayed honest and upright, she could’ve continued living comfortably, but now having offended Serena, she’d be tossed into The Black Vault and live a life worse than death!

"Master Damian, I admit! I was confused for a moment, found Miss Crystal’s necklace and wanted to frame Miss Everett, I realize my mistake, please don’t throw me into The Black Vault, I’ll leave Imperia on my own, Miss Everett, please spare me this time!"

Mrs. Langley knelt on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing to Serena, admitting her faults in the most pitiful manner.

"Oh my, it turns out Mrs. Langley orchestrated everything herself, almost led us to misunderstand Miss Everett!"

"Yes, yes, who would have thought Mrs. Langley would do such a thing!"

Listening to the servant’s whispers, Crystal’s gaze towards Mrs. Langley turned even colder.

If she persisted in denying, she could’ve continued defaming Serena, but by admitting now, it would be hard to seize opportunities to defame her later!

"Mrs. Langley, you really disappointed me, doing something !" Crystal expressed a sorrowful and disappointed look, swiftly absolving herself of any responsibility.

"Baby, how do you want to handle her?"

Damian Quinn ignored Mrs. Langley’s cries, his gaze soft and tender as he solely focused on the girl, asking for her opinion.

Serena spoke lazily, "Throw her out of Imperia."

Given Mrs. Langley’s condition, if tossed into The Black Vault, she likely wouldn’t last after one round of punishment.
