Chapter 452: Chapter 452

Previously, she could feel that Grandma genuinely loved her, treating her as a dear granddaughter. Even though she wasn’t her granddaughter-in-law, she would still love her all the same.

But now, it’s as if Grandma has suddenly changed.

Damian Quinn held her hand even tighter, his mesmerizing peach blossom eyes deep and solemn as he spoke, "Serena, I also feel that Grandma is acting strangely."

Serena’s rosy lips coldly curled, "It seems someone is up to mischief..."

Gael Quinn suddenly ran out of the ward, his handsome face full of apology, worried that Serena might be angry, and hurriedly explained.

"Sis-in-law, Grandma must have just woken up and hasn’t adjusted yet. Those words she said earlier don’t take seriously, don’t take them to heart!"

"Besides, Sis-in-law, Grandma has always liked you the most. In Grandma’s heart, neither my brother nor I could compare to you for even a finger!"

Crystal Joyce had just stepped out of the ward, overhearing this, observing Gael’s nervousness, afraid Serena would be upset, along with the undisguised tenderness in Damian Quinn’s gaze towards Serena.

Jealousy welled up deep in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth angrily.

Not only Damian Quinn, who protected that bitch Serena, but Gael also liked her, why on earth?!

But soon, Crystal suppressed all the dark emotions and interrupted Gael’s words.

"Damian, Grandma wants you inside... She said she has something to talk to you about."

Damian Quinn held the girl’s hand, his tall and straight figure motionless, treating Crystal’s words like wind past his ear.

Serena’s voice was calm, revealing no emotion, "You go in, I need to go home for a bit."

Yesterday she had hurriedly returned from Yondale to Imperia, without having the chance to inform her elder brother and the others of her return.

Moreover, to understand why Grandma would suddenly act so strangely, now is not the time to alert her.

Damian Quinn exchanged a look with her, understanding the girl’s thoughts, and softly responded, "Alright, I’ll have Chase Sherman take you back."

Serena nodded, "Okay." Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NoveI★Fire.net

Only after sending the girl off in the car did Damian Quinn turn and walk towards the ward.

"Grandma, what do you need to talk to me about?"

Damian Quinn’s expression was somewhat cold, further intimidating, making it hard for anyone to approach.

"Are you giving me attitude because of earlier?!" Old Mrs. Quinn’s face was very displeased, "For a girl like Serena, you’re actually treating me !"

"Grandma Quinn, you promised me earlier that you wouldn’t get angry and hurt your health again. You can’t go back on your word!"

Crystal immediately stepped forward, softly soothing Old Mrs. Quinn, showcasing her gentle and virtuous side.

Indeed, upon seeing Crystal, Old Mrs. Quinn’s expression turned kindly, "Alright, alright, Grandma listens to you, won’t get angry!"

But Damian Quinn’s elegantly arched eyebrows carried a touch of impatience, his voice cold.

"Grandma, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now."

"Stop!" Old Mrs. Quinn hurriedly called out, "Who said you could go!"

"Grandma, you know I’m not very patient."

"I asked you here because I have something to discuss!" Fearful he might really leave like that, Old Mrs. Quinn couldn’t stay angry any longer, her expression turned serious as she directly spoke, "I think your engagement with Serena is inappropriate, tomorrow we’ll visit the Everett Family together and break off this engagement!"

As soon as these words fell, before Damian Quinn could speak, Gael Quinn exclaimed in surprise.

"What? Grandma, what are you saying? Grandma, are you confused due to illness? My brother and sis-in-law have such a deep relationship, and they are a perfect match, simply a pair made by heaven!"

"Nonsense!" Old Mrs. Quinn immediately reprimanded Gael harshly, "Crystal is the only one suitable for Damian! They are the pair made by heaven!"

Damian Quinn’s eyes grew deeper, his presence radiating an intimidating chill, "Breaking the engagement with Serena is impossible."

"Well now, even you’re not listening to me!" Old Mrs. Quinn angrily slammed the table, "Let me tell you, whether you agree or not, you must break off your engagement with the Everett Family!"

"Breaking the engagement is not negotiable." Damian Quinn’s voice turned even colder, "Grandma, rest well, I’ll visit you later."

With those words, he turned and left the ward without any hesitation.

As Damian Quinn stepped out of the ward, the director who had been waiting outside immediately greeted him respectfully.

"What would you like me to do for you?"

Damian Quinn’s long, deep peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, a cold, fierce glint shining through, "I want you to find an opportunity to conduct a full-body check for Grandma."

At this, the director, without thinking much, assumed Damian Quinn was concerned about Old Mrs. Quinn’s health and promptly agreed respectfully, "Alright, Master Damian!"

Watching Damian Quinn leave , Old Mrs. Quinn grew even angrier, trembling with rage.

"Grandma, calm down, you can’t be angry now!" Gael quickly stepped forward to advise, then spoke with curiosity, "Grandma, what’s going on with you? You used to be very supportive of my brother and sis-in-law’s engagement. When my brother wanted to break off the engagement, you even said you’d break his legs! Why have you changed your mind now?"

"Shut up and get out!" Old Mrs. Quinn swung him aside angrily, "Bunch of disobedient kids, looking at you makes me annoyed, out!"

Seeing Old Mrs. Quinn get increasingly angry, Gael worried about her health and had no choice but to leave the ward dejectedly.

"Crystal, you’re the most obedient, Grandma likes you the most!"

With no one else in the ward, Crystal couldn’t be bothered to pretend anymore, her expression darkening as she shook off Old Mrs. Quinn’s hand, shedding her previous innocence and kindness.

"Useless, can’t even handle a small thing! Seems isn’t enough, need to push him further to make Damian agree to the breakup!"

The malicious glint in Crystal’s eyes deepened further, increasing the dose of Soul Hooking Fragrance again, disregarding Old Mrs. Quinn’s ability to withstand it.

With the familiar yet eerie fragrance wafting, Old Mrs. Quinn’s gaze grew more vacant, while Crystal smiled smugly, whispering in her ear.

"Alright, I understand... Everything will be handled as you said..."

Old Mrs. Quinn’s gaze vacant, yet muttering agreements, the scene couldn’t be more bizarre.
