Chapter 355: Chapter 355

Damian Quinn nodded nonchalantly, his entire attention focused on Serena, without even sparing her a glance.

The man’s indifferent attitude made Crystal Joyce’s sweet smile stiffen for a moment, and the servants in the old mansion began whispering again.

"Oh my, you all noticed the difference, right? The difference in how Master Damian treats Miss Everett and Miss Crystal is like night and day!"

"Exactly, this doesn’t look like he’s interested in Miss Crystal at all! I don’t know who’s spreading those rumors outside!"

"Yeah, isn’t it just nonsense? I even thought Master Damian liked Miss Crystal! Thank goodness I didn’t offend Miss Everett before, otherwise, that would’ve been trouble!"

These servants could only serve in the outer courtyard of the old mansion, so they were not aware of what happened with Mrs. Langley earlier.

Today, Damian Quinn’s attitude made them completely realize who the future mistress of the Quinn Family would be!

Listening to the servants’ whispers, the darkness in Crystal Joyce’s eyes deepened, but her expression remained unchanged, still that innocent and kind facade.

"Brother, Sister-in-law, you’re back!"

Gael Quinn got the news and immediately rushed out from the hall, his smile bright.

"Sister-in-law, I’ve been looking forward to your arrival. Grandma’s so happy you’re here!"

Before Serena could speak, Crystal Joyce gently chimed in, "That’s right, Serena, it’s been a while since you last came. Grandma Quinn has been thinking about you! You should remember to visit her more often when you have time!"

Why did that sound a bit off?

Gael Quinn raised his hand, scratching his head, but couldn’t pinpoint what felt wrong.

"My girl’s busy, after all. Grandma will understand."

The man’s deep, magnetic voice sounded unhurried, clearly protective.

Crystal Joyce’s smile almost faltered; she’d only mentioned Serena once, yet he defended her ...

Soon, she pretended to be embarrassed, sticking out her tongue, "Oh, I see, I misspoke! Damian, Serena, don’t mind me!"

Serena’s incredibly beautiful fox-like eyes narrowed slightly, looking at her thoughtfully.

"Sister-in-law, let’s go inside quickly. Grandma is already waiting for you inside!"

Gael Quinn noticed nothing amiss, eagerly leading Serena into the living room, with Damian Quinn naturally following closely, holding her hand possessively. Latest content publıshed on novel✶fire.net

Watching them walk into the living room, Crystal Joyce’s eyes turned cold, then she immediately called for the butler.

"Miss Crystal, do you need something from me?"

Recalling the servants’ whispers earlier, the coldness in Crystal Joyce’s eyes deepened, but she maintained a harmless smile and spoke softly.

"Butler, I’ve noticed the mansion’s servants slacking off lately, often gathering to gossip. You know Grandma Quinn dislikes gossipers, and if she finds out, it could upset her, which might mean blame for you too, Butler!"

"What, is that really happening?" The butler was shocked but quickly expressed gratitude, "Miss Crystal, thank you for the warning. I’ll make sure to punish the gossipers later. I won’t let this happen again!"

Hearing the butler’s words, Crystal Joyce felt satisfied; this is the consequence for their gossiping!

But she didn’t show it, still smiling kindly, "No need to thank me, I just didn’t want to see you get punished, Butler!"

Listening to this, the butler felt an even deeper fondness for Crystal Joyce and exclaimed, "Miss Crystal, you’re really too kind!"

Crystal Joyce smiled and nodded, "It was just a small effort. I need to go accompany Grandma Quinn now."

Watching Crystal Joyce leave, the butler couldn’t help but silently marvel.

Miss Crystal is so kind; it would be wonderful if she could be the Quinn Family’s future mistress!

The living room was bustling, with Old Mrs. Quinn affectionately holding Serena’s hand, pushing Damian Quinn away.

"Serena darling, you haven’t visited me for days; it must be because this brat has you all to himself!"

Damian Quinn helplessly curved his lips into a smile, his low voice lazily pleasant, "Grandma, could you not cling to Serena like that? Serena is very busy."

How was he not embarrassed?

Serena couldn’t help but lift her incredibly pretty fox-like eyes to glance at him.

Clearly, he’s the clingy one!

Getting a soft glare from the little girl, Damian Quinn felt a flutter in his heart, and his gaze darkened a little.

Tsk, how can even her glare be so beautiful? Beautiful enough to make him want to pull her into his arms and "tease"...

"Grandma Quinn, your bird’s nest soup is ready!"

Crystal Joyce walked in slowly, breaking the warm atmosphere.

"Oh, I know!" Old Mrs. Quinn nodded but kept her attention on Serena, "Just set it aside; I’ll drink it later!"

Watching Old Mrs. Quinn’s attitude, Crystal Joyce’s eyes grew darker with dissatisfaction, biting her lip.

She’d been by this old lady’s side all this time, trying her best to please her, yet as soon as Serena arrives, she means nothing to the old woman!

It’s truly a waste of time on this old lady!
