Chapter 458: Chapter 458

Elliot Everett looked at Damian Quinn with disdain, as he always competed with them for Serena, and now even wanted to compete in preparing a surprise for Serena!

In an instant, the atmosphere in the office gradually became heavy, and Damian Quinn and Elliot Everett found each other incredibly annoying.

"Serena is our precious sister. As her brothers, we should handle her birthday surprise, you should just focus on your own things."

Damian Quinn’s eyes darkened instantly, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop, sending shivers down the spine.

Agreeing to jointly prepare the birthday surprise for the young girl was already his biggest compromise!

"I am Serena’s fiancé, it’s within my duty."

Elliot Everett frowned in dissatisfaction, "You really want to compete with us, don’t you?"

"Big brother, shouldn’t I be saying that to you?"

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became tense.

"Big brother, what are you talking about?"

Serena pushed the door open, leisurely walking in with her long and straight legs.

Upon seeing her, the tense atmosphere between Damian Quinn and Elliot Everett instantly dissipated, and they quickly put on an act of being friendly brothers.

Damian Quinn spoke gently, "Nothing, just chatting with big brother."

Since it’s a surprise, naturally the young girl shouldn’t find out now.

Elliot Everett immediately nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, we were just chatting!"

Seeing them , Serena didn’t continue to probe, and started discussing serious matters.

"I’ve successfully developed the antidote for the Soul Hooking Fragrance."

The Soul Hooking Fragrance had been banned and disused years ago because it could manipulate others’ minds, and had been used for malicious acts. The source of this content ɪs novel⚑fire.net

Due to its rarity, Serena took a little longer to develop the antidote.

Upon hearing this, Damian Quinn’s captivating and enchanting eyes flashed with a hint of joy, but immediately he looked at the girl’s face, now thinner than before, and tenderly touched it.

"It’s been hard on my dear fiancée."

"Not hard," Serena shook her head, curving her red lips at the man, "Grandma’s health is important!"

His little darling is just so good...

Damian Quinn lowered his gaze, gently watching her, his slender jade-like fingers softly caressing her pretty little face, silently conveying deep affection and heartache.

Only Elliot Everett looked displeased at this scene. Although he had accepted Damian Quinn as his brother-in-law, he still wanted to chop off his paws seeing him touch his precious sister !

Thinking of Old Mrs. Quinn’s current health condition, Serena’s beautiful fox-like eyes glinted with coldness, her voice icy and graceful, "Now, it’s time to settle the score."

Crystal Joyce had been living quite comfortably these past few days, with everyone flattering her, as though she was the center of the universe.

She completely saw herself as the Quinn Family’s mistress, swaggering in the old mansion.

"Why is the garden full of roses?"

Crystal Joyce frowned in displeasure looking at the garden full of roses.

"Well..." The butler hesitated for a moment, but eventually spoke honestly, "Because Miss Everett liked roses before, so Old Mrs. Quinn had us remove other flowers and plant roses throughout the garden."

That wretched Serena again!

Crystal Joyce’s expression darkened instantly, her voice cold, "I don’t like roses, dig them all up and replace them with roses!"

The butler quickly agreed repeatedly, "Yes, Miss Crystal, I’ll take care of it immediately!"

Crystal Joyce had no interest in continuing her tour, turned to leave, but inadvertently overheard two maids whispering in a corner.

"Don’t you find it strange? Old Mrs. Quinn suddenly became very odd; she used to be very fond of Miss Everett, calling her ’Serena baby’ nonstop, but now she suddenly dislikes Miss Everett!"

"Yes, yes, I’ve wanted to say this for a while, but now that Miss Crystal is running things in the old mansion, I didn’t dare say anything!"

"Me too! And I also feel that Old Mrs. Quinn has become very bizarre. When I served her meal today, her gaze was dull, her reactions sluggish, like a puppet being manipulated!"

"Right, right, Old Mrs. Quinn may be old, but her mind was always sharp and clear. But now she’s ... Do you think Miss Crystal did something to her..."

The maid hadn’t finished speaking when Crystal Joyce pulled her out from the corner and slapped her hard.

The maid cried out in pain, but Crystal Joyce showed no intention of sparing her, raising her hand for another slap.

"How dare you accuse me of poisoning Grandma Quinn, who gave you the courage!"

In the hearts of all the servants in the old mansion, Crystal Joyce was gentle and kind, but seeing her fierce demeanor now, the butler and other servants were stunned, watching in disbelief.

"If I hear such talk again, no matter who it is, I will definitely not let them off easily!"

Crystal Joyce’s eyes were extremely cold, completely different from her usual gentle and kind image.

She is destined to be the Quinn Family’s future mistress, and since she now manages the old mansion fully, she certainly doesn’t need to pretend anymore!
