Chapter 433: Chapter 433
"You were looking for me?"
Serena sauntered in with her long, straight legs.
Although she had changed into women’s clothes, looking different from when she wore men’s attire, Gabriella Beaumont immediately recognized her. Her round almond eyes suddenly widened in surprise, causing her to stutter.
"You... you’re a woman..."
Serena also recognized Gabriella as the girl who had protected her at the casino, and instantly felt a headache coming on.
She didn’t expect Finn’s annoying words to be true; she had really caught someone’s eye!
Serena softened her voice slightly, apologizing, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hide it from you last time."
She had worn men’s clothes to the casino only to hide her identity, never expecting to attract such romantic interest!
Facing Serena’s beautiful eyes, Gabriella felt even more moved. Listening to her gentle tone, her heart fluttered even more.
Her cheeks turned rosy as she blurted out something astonishing.
"Even if you’re a woman, it’s okay! I still really like you!"
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room turned delicate.
Tsk tsk, Miss Serena truly has great allure, to have bent the young lady of the Beaumont Family!
But their Master Damian might be fuming!
Chase Sherman silently sighed to himself and snuck a glance at their Master Damian.
Sure enough, Damian Quinn’s handsome face was full of cold fury, and the low pressure emanating from him was terrifyingly intense.
Great, another one trying to steal his girl!
Gabriella’s attention was entirely on Serena, oblivious to the danger behind her, her clear almond eyes shyly looking at Serena.
"I really like you. Would you consider me?"
Before Serena could speak, she was suddenly pulled into a man’s embrace, his slender, artistic hand lightly caressing her slender waist, boldly staking his claim.
"Trying to steal my woman right in front of me, do you think I’m dead?"
Gabriella was dumbfounded watching this unfold, "Leader, you... you guys..."
Seeing Gabriella’s shocked expression, Chase Sherman kindly reminded her, "Miss Beaumont, Miss Serena is our Master Damian’s fiancée!"
She had actually confessed to someone else’s fiancée right in front of them. So embarrassing!!!
Gabriella’s pretty face turned beet red, feeling her face burn with shame, wishing she could find a hole to hide in.
"Leader, I suddenly remembered I have other duties at home, so... I’ll be leaving first!"
As soon as she said that, Gabriella hurriedly lifted her skirt and ran out, looking like an awkward little penguin.
Watching her leave, Serena’s lush, rosy lips curled into a light smile.
Hearing this, Damian Quinn gritted his teeth, his eyes dangerous, and his grip on her waist tightened.
"Still daring to praise others as cute?"
Knowing that the little jealous man was getting envious again, Serena lazily arched her exquisite eyebrows, "Why are you so petty? Just praised her a little, and you’re jealous too?"
"Who’s letting my little darling attract so much attention?"
The more Damian Quinn thought about it, the more suffocated he felt. How could his girl attract so much attention?!
He had to watch out for both men and women!
Hearing the man’s sarcastic tone, Serena’s smile grew even brighter, becoming more stunningly beautiful.
"Well, I can’t help it. I’m just that outstanding!"
Damian Quinn chuckled lowly, his captivating peach blossom eyes gazing at her with deep affection, his magnetic voice full of burning love.
"Indeed, my darling is too exceptional, so much so that I want to hide you away, belonging only to me!"
"Has the X Potion been retrieved?" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NoveI~Fire.net
Hearing the man’s voice, cold to the extreme in the video, Doctor Yates’ face was overtaken by fear, his face pale as he spoke.
"Master, the X Potion has not been retrieved yet..."
The man in the video wore a strange mask, obscuring his face, but his sinister aura was enough to make one’s skin crawl.
Doctor Yates, no longer the charming figure he once was, was now in a state of utter disarray, his body trembling violently.
"Master, please calm down. When I evacuated the underground laboratory, I made sure to take the X Potion with me, but somehow, after leaving, I discovered that it was missing. No matter how many people I send back to search the lab, we haven’t found it. I suspect someone from The Netherworld Syndicate took it!"
Sure enough, upon hearing this, the man’s gaze in the video grew even colder.
Doctor Yates quickly seized the opportunity to continue, "Master, The Netherworld Syndicate not only infiltrated our system but also destroyed our underground laboratory. Now they’ve taken the X Potion. If it weren’t for their interference, everything would have proceeded smoothly, Master. You can’t let them off easily!"
"The Netherworld Syndicate..."
The man in the video muttered coldly, a murderous intent brimming in his voice.
"I’ve noted down this matter."
Doctor Yates breathed a sigh of relief but spoke again with concern, "Master, if The Netherworld Syndicate has the X Potion, what should we do?"
After all, The Netherworld Syndicate isn’t easy to deal with!
The man’s lips in the video curled into a sinister smirk, his eyes vicious and poisonous, as he spoke in a deep voice.
"Then use one force to eliminate another. The Netherworld Syndicate and The Midnight Syndicate have always been at odds. If we can incite a fight between the two factions, we can benefit as third parties."
Hearing this, Doctor Yates’ eyes lit up, sycophantically flattering, "Master, you are truly wise. This idea is truly brilliant!!!"
The man in the video sneered coldly, his hoarse voice devoid of any emotion.
"If you weren’t still valuable, you would’ve died a thousand times over for losing the X Potion. This is your last chance!"
"Yes, yes..." Doctor Yates’ obese body trembled even more violently, "Thank you, Master, for giving me another chance. I won’t disappoint you again!!!"
"I’ve already sent fifty babies and children to you."
The man’s eyes hidden under the sinister mask grew even more cruel and malicious.
"This time, you must develop a successful prototype, no matter the cost!"
