Chapter 352: Chapter 352

Inside the private room.

Tonight’s dinner was hosted by Seth Sterling as an apology, and Serena naturally didn’t hold back, choosing all the most expensive dishes.

As the dishes were being served, Claire Keaton quickly pulled out her phone and secretly sent Lucas Laine a message, telling him to come pick up Serena later.

She absolutely wouldn’t allow anyone to break up her favorite couple!

"Serena/Baby, you like spicy food, try this double-cooked pork..."

Bianca Everett and Claire Keaton’s voices rang out simultaneously, both offering the same dish to Serena.

Serena’s rosy, moist lips couldn’t help but curl up, "Third Brother, Claire, you two are quite in sync."

Hearing this, Bianca Everett’s handsome face immediately darkened. If anyone else had said that, he would have flipped out by now, but since it was his darling sister, Bianca could only endure.

Seeing Bianca’s dark face, Claire Keaton spat lightly in displeasure.

She didn’t consider herself a saint. Growing up in a place that ingrained the belief of survival of the fittest deep into her bones, she had the confidence to assert herself without caring about others’ feelings, except for her darling. She didn’t care about anyone else; even if she was wrong, so what?

After all, she wouldn’t change!

Besides, she had already apologized! Yet, he still showed her that face!

Hearing Claire’s displeased click of the tongue, Bianca’s expression grew colder, his icy gaze falling on Claire.

If not for Serena, he wouldn’t want to see her again!

Looking at his face, which bore a slight resemblance to her darling’s, Claire’s previously annoyed mood suddenly dissipated.

Truth be told, she quite liked his face, since it somewhat resembled her darling’s. If only he could behave nicely and not show her that sour face...

Two luxury cars pulled up outside the restaurant, and both Damian Quinn and Lucas Laine stepped out. One exuded a cold abstinence, the other an elegant charm, but when their eyes met, the air around them was immediately filled with tension, and it sent shivers down one’s spine.

Seeing the milk tea in Lucas Laine’s hand, Damian’s eyes instantly turned cold.

Not only did the little girl like spicy food, but she also had a fondness for sweet things. He seemed to know all her preferences...

"Whatever my fiancée likes to drink, I’ll take care of it. You don’t need to bother."

The man’s voice was cold and detached, laden with a heavy warning.

Hearing him refer to her as "little fiancée" grated on Lucas’s ears. His narrow, deep black eyes turned icy, and he spoke coldly, "You’re just Serena’s nominal fiancé for now; it doesn’t mean you always will be."

Upon hearing this, Chase Sherman, who stood on the side, immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Master Damian cared most about Miss Serena, especially after the mistaken engagement incident. Master Damian took the position of Serena’s fiancé extremely seriously!

Lucas’s words completely hit Master Damian’s nerve!

As expected, Damian’s devilishly handsome face instantly turned colder, his expression grim and terrifying.

"I’ve been lenient towards you for Serena’s sake, do you think I really don’t dare to deal with your Netherworld Syndicate?"

Serena still hadn’t revealed her true identity to Damian, which meant his importance in her heart was rather average.

Thinking this, Lucas felt a sense of joy and then began to smile unhurriedly, his indifferent tone full of provocation, "I’d like to see you try."

Serena valued the Netherworld Syndicate the most. If he dared to target the Syndicate, it would definitely upset Serena.

A chilling aura emanated from Damian, his presence dark and menacing, "If you’re seeking death, I’ll oblige you."

He might as well settle the score for the Netherworld Syndicate’s unauthorized intrusion into Ystoria last time! If he didn’t teach the Syndicate a harsh lesson, he wouldn’t be a Quinn!

Lucas remained as indifferent as ever, but his words dripped with provocation. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel[f]ire.net

He wished Damian would quickly make a move against the Netherworld Syndicate and anger Serena, as it would be advantageous for him!

Chase watched the scene with both fear and worry, suppressing his anxiety as he quietly whispered in Damian’s ear, "Master Damian, he’s Miss Serena’s friend. What if moving against the Netherworld Syndicate makes Miss Serena angry?"

"You mean Serena would be upset with me because of him?"

Damian cast a cold, oppressing glance, terrifying Chase to the point his legs went weak, and his scalp tingled. He quickly stammered out a response.

"No... no, no, no! Master Damian, that’s absolutely not what I meant. You’re Miss Serena’s fiancé. He’s just a friend of Serena’s. Miss Serena would naturally side with you, Master Damian!"

Upon hearing this, the chilling aura around Damian finally lessened a bit, and he sneered coldly, "Who else would my little fiancée side with but me?"

"Yes, yes, of course!"

Even though Chase was agreeing verbally, he couldn’t shake off his unease inside.

He hoped that when the time came, Miss Serena wouldn’t side with Lucas, or else...

Oh, he didn’t even dare to imagine what would happen if Miss Serena sided with Lucas later on!
