Chapter 356: Chapter 356

Old Mrs. Quinn’s entire attention was focused on Serena at this moment. She lovingly held her hand, unwilling to let go. "Serena, darling, why do I feel like you’ve lost weight again?"

Upon hearing this, Serena felt a stirring in her heart and couldn’t help but think of her deceased grandmother.

Her grandmother had treated her very well, but when she was seven, she met her master and was taken to The Netherworld Syndicate, only able to return once a year thereafter.

Every time she returned, her grandmother was particularly happy to see her and always felt she had lost weight, holding her hand and fussing over her.

Unfortunately, her grandmother is no longer around...

Damian Quinn keenly noticed the little girl’s mood change, guessed what she was thinking, and instantly felt a twinge of heartache. He wrapped his large hand around her slender waist, deliberately trying to cheer her up.

"Baby, if you don’t put on some weight, grandma will blame me for not taking good care of you."

Watching their intimate actions, Crystal Joyce’s face almost overflowed with a dark expression beneath her innocent facade.

Old Mrs. Quinn was naturally happy about their good relationship, but after feeling pleased, she was dissatisfied with Damian Quinn for stealing Serena’s attention.

"Damian, aren’t you always busy? How come you’re not busy now? Go, go, attend to your business, don’t stay here and interfere with my chat with Serena darling!"

Seeing the unmistakable disdain on Old Mrs. Quinn’s face, Damian Quinn silently ground his back molars.

Hmph, truly a real grandma!

Preferring the granddaughter-in-law over the grandson!

Watching Damian Quinn being driven from the living room by Old Mrs. Quinn, Gael Quinn wanted to laugh but didn’t dare, fearing that the pocket money he had just restored would all be lost again!

Seeing Damian Quinn come out, Assistant Sherman immediately approached to report respectfully. Fınd the newest release on NoveIＦire.net

"Master Damian, we just received news that the Netherworld Syndicate has a shipment passing through Imperia."

The Netherworld Syndicate is strange. This shipment is valuable, and they regard it highly, so why did they suddenly change the route through Imperia?

Upon hearing this, Damian Quinn’s eyes instantly turned cold, emitting a terrifying chill as he let out a cold snort.

Assistant Sherman carefully observed Damian Quinn’s expression, immediately responding respectfully, "Yes, Master Damian, I will take care of it."

"For now, don’t let Serena know."

The man’s cold voice sounded again.

"Yes, Master Damian, I understand what to do."

Assistant Sherman naturally responded immediately, while he couldn’t help but secretly think.

What a shame, intercepting this shipment will really hit the Netherworld Syndicate hard! They’re not the type to back down; this time, Master Damian is indeed going to completely fall out with the Netherworld Syndicate!

Crystal Joyce, hiding in the shadows and eavesdropping, had a triumphant smile. Last time, the Netherworld Syndicate suddenly attacked the organization, causing them heavy losses. This time, Damian Quinn taking action against the Syndicate was wonderful!

The man’s icy voice rang out, instilling fear in others.

Seeing that Damian Quinn had already noticed her, Crystal Joyce had no choice but to brace herself and step out, immediately putting on her most innocent, remorseful face.

"Damian, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop on your conversation with Assistant Sherman. I just came out to look for you, saw you discussing business, and didn’t want to interrupt, so I decided to wait until you finished, accidentally overhearing. Damian, please don’t be angry..."

Damian Quinn had no patience to listen to her, his handsome face a mask of ice, his voice even chillier.

Crystal Joyce immediately nodded obediently, smiling purely, "Understood, Damian, I won’t come near when you’re discussing business in the future!"

Damian Quinn coldly nodded as he was about to leave.

"Damian, I’ve recently completed a new painting. I wonder if you have time to appreciate it?"

Crystal Joyce hurriedly called after him, her eyes sparkling brightly as she looked at him, full of expectation. Her pitiable demeanor meant no one could bear to reject her.

Unfortunately, Damian Quinn was always indifferent. Apart from matters concerning his little girl, he had no interest in anything else and refused without hesitation.

Crystal Joyce pouted disappointedly, pleading, "Damian, I won’t take up much of your time..."

Damian Quinn’s mesmerizing eyes narrowed impatiently, their sharp gaze like a dagger piercing her.

"No time, don’t you understand?"

Crystal Joyce appeared frightened, her doe eyes instantly rimmed with red, tears welled up, looking pitifully delicate, tugging at heartstrings.

Damian Quinn remained unmoved, coldly instructing Assistant Sherman by his side, "Invite several art professors to Imperial Gardens. For future appraisals, just find them."

The implication was clear, and Crystal Joyce’s face darkened even further, biting her lip in humiliation.

As soon as Damian Quinn left, Silas immediately appeared beside Crystal Joyce.

"Silas, what do I do? Damian seems to be fed up with me!"

Seeing her so forlorn and heartbroken, Silas felt a pang of pity, quickly comforting her gently.

"Miss Crystal, please don’t be too upset! Master Damian definitely doesn’t mean to be annoyed with you. Otherwise, why would he arrange art professors for you?"

Crystal Joyce sobbed a few times, her eyes red, "Silas, stop comforting me. Now that Damian has Serena around, I have no place in the Quinn Family anymore!"

Hearing this, Silas immediately gritted his teeth in frustration.

It’s all that woman Serena Everett’s fault!!!
