Chapter 346: Chapter 346

Looking at Annie’s smug face, Serena eyed her as if she were an idiot, speaking slowly, "I’m really so scared."

Even a fool could hear the sarcasm in her tone. Annie’s face turned pale with anger, and she spat out, "You bitch, go ahead and be smug now. When Young Master Sterling gets here, you’ll be crying!"

As she was speaking, Seth Sterling had already arrived with a group, striding over aggressively.

"Young Master Sterling!"

Upon seeing Seth, Annie immediately changed her sullen, fierce attitude, rushing over coquettishly and speaking full of grievance.

"Boo hoo, it was that woman who bullied me! She bumped into me and didn’t apologize, then even slapped me! Young Master Sterling, you have to stand up for me!"

In the dim bar lighting, Seth couldn’t make out the woman’s face clearly, impatiently kicking the door, "Damn it, I don’t hit women, so you’d better apologize right now!"

He initially thought it was some spoiled brat bullying the girl he brought over, but it turned out to be a catfight, and he was dragged here over this trivial matter.

Seth felt incredibly impatient, but since he was already here, he decided he might as well handle it.

Hearing the extremely familiar voice, Serena’s demeanor became even more languid, with her lush red lips pulling into a slight smirk.

"You think you’re worth me apologizing?"

Annie didn’t expect her to be so arrogant even in front of Seth, fuming with anger, "You bitch, you dare talk to Young Master Sterling like that, you’re finished!!!"

The group behind Annie immediately chimed in.

"Yeah, yeah, our Annie has Young Master Sterling backing her up, you’re dead, bitch!"

"Truly courting death, daring to offend our Annie!"

Serena slowly lifted her head, her sharp gaze landing directly on Seth, her voice alluringly cold.

"If I don’t apologize, what will Young Master Sterling do to me?"

Upon clearly seeing Serena’s exquisite porcelain-white face, Seth’s impatient expression instantly froze, and upon realizing, his legs nearly gave way in shock.

"Li... Little Sister-in-law..."

So he hadn’t seen wrong; Little Sister-in-law had indeed snuck out to the bar behind Master Damian’s back!

Serena’s exquisite eyebrows arched lazily, her tone casual, but her words made Seth’s heart tremble.

"Do you still want me to apologize?"

Seth forced out a smile uglier than crying, "Gosh, Little Sister-in-law, what are you saying! How could I dare order you to do anything!"

If he dared make Serena apologize and Master Damian or the sister-con Elliot found out, he’d be done for!

Seeing Seth’s utterly obsequious manner in front of Serena, Annie and the others were almost popping their eyes out in shock.

It was their first time seeing Seth so cowardly!

Annie was fuming, hurriedly latching onto him, whining coquettishly, "Young Master Sterling, aren’t you here to stand up for me? She bullied me so badly, you must help me!"

Seth quickly shook off her hand, speaking righteously, "If you want to die, don’t drag me with you!"

At this, Serena gave him a bored glance, speaking indifferently, "You’ve got quite a girlfriend there."

Seth shook his head frantically, immediately clarifying, "Little Sister-in-law, I’m not her boyfriend. Who told you that nonsense! How could I let her be my girlfriend!"

"Who do you think you are, claiming to be my girlfriend?!"

Annie had only claimed Seth as her boyfriend to satisfy her vanity, but now she was mercilessly exposed by him in front of everyone, utterly losing face!

The group behind her, seeing her downfall, quickly scattered, afraid of incurring Serena’s wrath.

Watching them quickly scatter, Annie felt a chill in her heart, unwillingly grabbing Seth’s sleeve, trying to soften his heart.

"Young Master Sterling..."

But before she could finish, Seth shrugged her off in disdain.

Seth nodded and bowed to Serena, "Little Sister-in-law, she was blind to offend you, do whatever you please, no need to save my face!"

Knowing Serena’s disposition, she’s above petty squabbles, so it must’ve been instigated by her, getting her just punishment.

Hearing Seth abandoning her, Annie panicked, "Young Master Sterling, you can’t ignore me... You promised to stand up for me!"

"Shut up, you’re raising hell!" Seth reprimanded impatiently, "Do you know who she is? She’s Elliot Everett’s precious little sister, Master Damian’s fiancée. I told you, if you want to die, don’t drag me along!"

What, she is the daughter of Imperia’s wealthiest, Master Damian’s fiancée?!

Annie’s heart skipped a beat, her eyes almost popping out, fear gripping her, and she quickly apologized tearfully to Serena.

"Miss Everett, I’m sorry, I offended you without recognizing you, please forgive me this once!"

Having already taught her a lesson, Serena didn’t want to bother with her anymore, speaking coldly, "Get out, and don’t let me see you again."

"Yes, yes! I’ll leave, I will not obstruct Miss Everett again!" Annie cried with relief, scrambling out of the bar.

"Little Sister-in-law, this has nothing to do with me, you aren’t mad at me, right?"

Seth grinned obsequiously, the perfect lapdog.

Serena withdrew her gaze in disdain, "Can’t be bothered with you, just keep better track of your company next time."

"Yes, yes, I guarantee this won’t happen again!" Seth rapidly promised, but then remembered something, "But Little Sister-in-law, why are you at a bar? Didn’t you tell Master Damian you were out to eat with classmates?"

Going out to eat, to a bar?

For once, Serena found herself speechless, pursing her red lips, shooting a cold glance, "Does it matter to you?"

"No, no, no..." Seth shook his head, the sycophancy deepening on his face, "Little Sister-in-law, I wouldn’t dare meddle, I’m just curious!"

"Not a peep." Serena’s voice was coldly elegant, "Don’t tell him you saw me here."

If that narrow-minded man found out she lied to him, she’d be in trouble.

"Alright, alright!" Seth nodded repeatedly, the epitome of a lapdog.

Lucas Laine strode over with long legs, and seeing Serena immediately dispelled the oppressive air around him.

Serena asked, confused, "Lucas, why are you here?"

Lucas focused his gaze on her, speaking tenderly, "Serena, you hadn’t returned for so long. I was worried you might be in trouble, so I came to check."

At this, Serena nonchalantly replied, "I ran into a bit of trouble, but it’s resolved now."

Damn, who is this guy?! The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novelFirｅ.net

Seth’s eyes widened at the scene, silently muttering to himself.

He’s as handsome as Master Damian, not lacking in presence, definitely loaded or influential!

More importantly, there’s some inexplicable understanding between him and Serena, making it impossible for others to join in...
