Chapter 341: Chapter 341

Night, Everett Family.

"You’re truly my precious daughter, you can perfectly carry off every outfit!" Jocelyn praised happily as she watched Serena change into the new dress she’d bought for her.

Beside them, Bianca and Niall quickly joined in the praise.

"That’s right, every dress looks good on Serena!"

"Serena looks good no matter what!!!"

Bianca and Niall had a typical male aesthetic, not understanding design, just feeling that their precious sister looked good in anything!

Serena’s rosy lips curved into a smile, her heart a warm ocean.

Niall beamed a toothy grin, while Bianca gazed at her tenderly and indulgently, and Jocelyn held her hand affectionately, all praising her together.

The scene was warm and beautiful, but a loud shout from outside the door shattered it.

"Where’s Serena? Tell Serena to get out here and see me!"

Old Master Everett was pushed into the living room in a wheelchair by the servants, and upon seeing Serena, he was instantly full of anger, pointing at her nose and cursing.

"Shameless thing, so young but already up to no good, committing such scandalous acts, truly a disgrace to the Everett Family!"

Upon hearing Old Master Everett’s harsh words, Niall and Bianca were instantly furious, immediately stepping in front of Serena to shield her.

"Grandfather, you’re being too much! Let’s not mention Serena and the Quinn Family had a marriage agreement, even without it, there’s nothing worth berating Serena over , let alone talk about bringing shame to the Everett Family!"

"Exactly, it’s a different era now, Grandfather, why are you still such an old fossil?"

Seeing the two of them defending Serena , Old Master Everett grew even more furious, rebuking them angrily, "I haven’t even scolded you two ungrateful brats yet; I lay in the hospital for an entire day, none of you came to visit me! I see you’re all bewitched by that country girl Serena!"

Listening to Old Master Everett’s repeated "country girl," Niall could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, "We’re still calling you grandfather now, but if I hear another word defaming Serena from you, you won’t be my grandfather anymore!"

Serena suffered unknown hardships during the eighteen years she spent in the countryside; if he doesn’t care, that’s one thing, but calling Serena a country girl so often is heart-wrenching!

"You’re disowning me as your grandfather for that country girl Serena?!"

Old Master Everett’s blood pressure soared with rage, raising his hand as if to slap Niall, seeming about to hit his face, but his wrist suddenly went numb, rendering him unable to unleash any force.

Soon after, a cool and ethereal voice of a girl sounded nearby.

"You still want to hit Fifth Brother? Dream on."

"You..." Old Master Everett felt he’d lost face in front of everyone, bursting into anger, "Okay, fine, today I won’t hit him, I’ll beat you, you disrespectful country girl!"

"No one can touch my precious daughter!"

Jocelyn rushed forward to protect Serena, glaring at Old Master Everett, uttering each word with powerful force.

"I’ll tell you, if you dare to point fingers at my precious daughter again, don’t blame me for being rude!"

Forget all that nonsense about filial piety; she had been too filial before, allowing Old Master Everett to repeatedly bully her precious daughter!

Old Master Everett was dumbfounded, clearly not expecting the always filial and weak Jocelyn to dare stand up to him , trembling with rage.

"You... dare talk to me ! You’ve defied the heavens!"

Jocelyn sneered coldly, "I’ll tell you, if you bully my precious daughter again, not only will I dare talk to you , but I’ll also let you know just how formidable I can be!"

"You shrew!" Old Master Everett nearly fainted from anger, threatening, "I’ll have my son divorce you, and throw you and that country girl Serena out of the Everett Family!"

Jocelyn was utterly unapologetic, "Let it be, I don’t need the Everett Family to survive! You think Serena and I want to stay with you?" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel⟡fire.net

No matter how well she’d done over the years, Old Master Everett always found her disagreeable, constantly making things difficult for her—those, she could tolerate!

But now he was becoming increasingly excessive and targeting her precious daughter—this was intolerable!

Seeing the threat had no effect, Old Master Everett became a bit apprehensive, evidently not having expected Jocelyn to suddenly become so assertive!

Bianca and Niall exclaimed in unison, "If you cast Serena out of the Everett Family, we’ll leave with her!"

It’s all because of that dreadful country girl Serena!

Old Master Everett became angrier the more he thought about it, casting a vicious glare at Serena.

Before Serena returned, everyone at home adhered to his every word; it was only after that country girl Serena came back that one after another, they became bewitched, and dared to defy him!

"Fine, fine, each and every one of you has defied the heavens; all of you get out of the Everett Family... oh dear!" Old Master Everett, clutching his heart in pain, groaned continually, "Quick... quick, take me to the hospital!"

The servants were bewildered, having just come out of the hospital yet going back again; what was all this!

Even if his heart hurt intensely, Old Master Everett didn’t forget his threats, "When my son returns, I’ll have him throw out all of you from the Everett Family!!!"

As Old Master Everett was again pushed away by the servants, Jocelyn sneered coldly, then turned to Serena, showing infinite tenderness.

"Serena, don’t be afraid, Mom is here, and Mom won’t let you suffer any more grievances! If Ivan sides with his dad, I’ll divorce him right away, and find you a handsome, wealthy new dad!"

Hearing this, Serena’s rosy lips curved, unable to stop herself from softly clicking her tongue.

Tsk, if Dad finds out about Mom’s plan, he’s likely to cry in the bathroom!

Bianca and Niall hurriedly declared.

"Serena, wherever you are, we’ll be there!"

"Yes, we’re a family, we cannot be separated!"

Meanwhile, across the ocean.

"Vice Alliance Hierarch, the last batch of goods has been smoothly shipped out, mission accomplished."

Lucas Laine sat at the main seat, listening indifferently to the report from his subordinate, exuding an intense oppressive aura.

The Hidden Guards couldn’t help but shiver, clearly bewildered why the Vice Alliance Hierarch’s mood seemed unpleasant despite the mission’s success...

Lucas looked at the Weibo trending topics, clutching his phone tightly, his eyes filled with dark, gloomy colors, invoking involuntary fear.

"Prepare to return to Imperia tomorrow."

Though the Hidden Guards didn’t understand the urgency of returning to Imperia, seeing his unfriendly demeanor, they dared not say much, respectfully responding.

"Yes, Vice Alliance Hierarch."
