Chapter 333: Chapter 333
"You want me to apologize to her?!"
Master Everett almost fainted from anger at those words, glaring incredulously at Niall Everett.
"Yes!" Niall Everett stood tall, protecting Serena Everett in front of him, "You misunderstood Serena, so you owe her an apology!"
Bianca Everett also nodded and chimed in, "Grandpa, you really should apologize to Serena!"
Both grandsons defied him for Serena, and Master Everett became even more furious, pounding his cane on the ground.
In the past, each of them was very filial to him as their grandfather, but since that ungrateful Serena returned, they’ve all become unfilial like her!
"Dream on if you think I’ll apologize to her! I’m your elder, having an elder apologize to you, are you not afraid of losing your life?!"
Seeing Master Everett’s exasperation, Serena was remarkably calm, her cool voice resounding leisurely and slowly.
"Didn’t you say you don’t recognize me as your granddaughter? In what way are you my elder?"
The girl’s tone was casual, but her words infuriated Master Everett.
"Fine, fine, fine, you don’t recognize me as your grandfather, then I don’t want to recognize you as my granddaughter; I only have one granddaughter, Cassia, and you don’t deserve to step foot in the Everett Family!"
Though Bianca Everett returned to the country late, he was aware of what happened in Imperia: Cassia Everett not only poisoned their mother secretly but also implicated Serena. Had Serena not known medicine to save their mother, her life would have been at stake!
In the years she was with the Everett Family, their parents and everyone treated her well, striving to meet her every request without a hint of negligence. Yet she committed such acts.
He felt only disappointment and disheartenment toward Cassia Everett and wanted nothing more to do with her.
"Grandpa, let me make it clear to you: The Everett Family only has Serena as a little princess; as for Cassia Everett, she should never think of coming back!"
The Everett Family refuses to accommodate such an ungrateful wolf in sheep’s clothing.
"You... Bianca Everett, have you become rebellious? How dare you speak to me ?!" Master Everett’s rage intensified further, "Cassia is your second uncle’s only child; she has done something wrong, but why can’t you forgive her just once?!"
The scandals caused by Cassia Everett also angered him, but no matter what, she was his youngest son’s only child, and he absolutely could not watch her suffer in a psychiatric hospital!
His desperate attempt to return from the care home was to find a chance to have Ivan Everett bring Cassia Everett back from the psychiatric hospital.
"What do you mean she just did something wrong?!"
Niall Everett, naturally quick-tempered, was even more furious upon hearing Master Everett’s blatant favoritism.
"She nearly killed my mom! If Serena hadn’t successfully detoxified her, the consequences would have been unimaginable! Besides, the scandals she caused have long spread throughout Imperia; letting her return to the Everett Family would disgrace us! As long as I’m in the house, Cassia Everett shouldn’t think to come back!"
He knew Master Everett had always favored the second branch, but he hadn’t expected the favoritism to reach this extent.
Furious, Master Everett raised his hand and gave Niall Everett a hard slap.
"Who are you to forbid her return? No matter what, she is part of the Everett Family; if I say she can return, then she can return!"
Had anyone else dared to strike him , Niall Everett would have fought them, but since it was Master Everett, he had to endure it despite his anger and dissatisfaction.
Seeing Niall Everett’s swollen right cheek, Serena’s gaze instantly cooled, and her sharp eyes landed on Master Everett.
Sensing her gaze, Master Everett shivered instinctively but soon realized he was intimidated by this young girl, fueling his anger.
"What are you staring at me for? Do you want to hit me?"
Serena spoke lazily; hitting him wouldn’t satisfy her. She had better ways to vent her anger.
Master Everett let out a disdainful snort, assuming she wouldn’t dare lay a hand on him. After all, he remained her nominal elder, and if she dared hit him, she’d surely be criticized for unfilial behavior!
"Oh my... Oh dear..."
Before Master Everett could relish in his satisfaction, an uncontrollable itch overwhelmed his entire body. He immediately started scratching, yet despite breaking the skin, the itch remained unbearable.
"What’s happening? Why is this happening? So itchy, so itchy..."
Seeing Master Everett suddenly frantically scratching himself, Niall Everett was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Grandpa... what’s wrong with him? Wasn’t he fine just now?"
Serena Everett’s subtle and speedy dispersal of medicinal powder went unnoticed by everyone; her exquisite brows leisurely raised slightly as she spoke innocently.
The powder she sprinkled was just an intensified itching powder, harmless to the human body, merely causing intense itchiness and discomfort for a while.
Today was bound to be an uncomfortable day for Master Everett.
While Serena’s face remained innocent, a sly glint sparkled in her eyes, and Bianca Everett quickly understood what had happened.
Serena knew medicine; she must have sprinkled some medicinal powder onto Grandpa. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel✶fire.net
Bianca Everett gazed at her indulgently, without any hint of reprimand, filling Serena’s heart with warmth.
Master Everett was still frantically scratching his skin, shouting, "It’s so itchy... so itchy... it’s killing me!"
Bianca Everett finally turned his attention back to Master Everett, commanding the servants coldly.
"Take Grandpa to the hospital."
The servants promptly complied, "Yes, Third Master."
Master Everett was carried out of the living room by the servants, but his cries could still be heard, attesting to the potency of the itching powder.
"Hahaha, isn’t this karma?!" Niall Everett rubbed his swollen face, smiling, "So damn satisfying!"
"Niall, your face needs medicine." Serena took out a medical kit, "Otherwise, it won’t be healed by tomorrow; I’ll apply the medicine for you."
"No way, I have a match tomorrow; can’t let anything blemish this handsome face of mine!"
Upon hearing that his precious sister would personally apply his medicine, Niall Everett beamed with joy and obediently leaned his face towards Serena.
"I’ll trouble Serena then to apply the medicine!"
Yet before Niall Everett could revel in his happiness, Bianca Everett’s voice rang out.
"Serena, you’re tired from your journey; go rest, Third Brother will apply the medicine for him."
Bianca Everett was unwavering in his insistence, leaving Serena no choice but to agree obediently.
"Oh dear... take it easy... Third Brother, can’t you be gentler..." Bianca Everett gritted his teeth in pain, "Ow, ow, ow..."
Bianca Everett not only didn’t lighten his touch but intensified the pressure, "And who was it that lied to me saying Serena likes bland food, Niall, you better endure it!"
Revenge, blatant revenge!
