Serena blinked slightly. How could she not see a hint of guilt in Damian Quinn?
"Serena, why are your lips swollen again?"
Niall Everett and Ian Everett’s puzzled gazes landed squarely on Serena’s slightly swollen red lips.
Serena guiltily pressed her red lips, "Too spicy."
As if eating something spicy would cause swelling, it was clearly because she and Damian Quinn...
Thinking of the scene she accidentally saw, Cassia Everett was filled with jealousy.
That shameless Serena! Men like Damian Quinn, so noble and excellent, should have been hers!
It was all because that shameless Serena snatched away her things!
"Big sis, just be more careful next time. Otherwise, if someone sees, they might think you’re seeing someone, and it wouldn’t be good if they misunderstood you for being loose at such a young age..."
At first glance, Cassia Everett’s words seemed to show concern for Serena, but in fact, she was subtly insinuating that Serena was promiscuous.
"Cassia, what nonsense are you spouting?" Niall Everett and Ian Everett were genuinely angry this time and spoke to Cassia with a harsher tone, "If you keep talking nonsense, you’ll be punished by being sent to the ancestral hall to reflect!" Orıginal content can be found at novel⚑fire.net
Seeing Niall Everett and Ian Everett protecting Serena in this manner, Cassia Everett was so angered she almost couldn’t breathe. She was telling the truth, yet they were protecting that shameless Serena!
After scolding Cassia Everett, when Ian and Niall Everett turned to look at Serena, their faces were once again gentle,
"Serena, we all know you love Sichuan cuisine, so it’s normal to have been spicy!"
"Yes, yes, next time we’ll accompany you to eat Sichuan cuisine together!"
They watch over Serena so closely, how could she possibly be dating?
Moreover, regardless of who dared have designs on their precious sister, they wouldn’t let him off!
Watching this scene, Cassia Everett’s eyes grew even more venomous, and her heart was overflowing with hatred.
Just wait, she won’t let that shameless Serena enjoy her time for long. As soon as The Netherworld Syndicate takes her order, it will be Serena’s death day!
When Serena arrived at class, she received a mix of awe and fear-filled gazes from everyone.
The incident of Yara Shawnessy kneeling at the school gate and being severely reprimanded had already spread throughout Imperia University, and Dean Finch, who wanted to expel Serena from Imperia, had also been dismissed and kicked out.
Everyone was secretly discussing what had happened, but now no one dared to approach Serena.
Serena was glad for the peace and quiet. She had just opened her phone when she received a message from Jude Ford.
[I’m so angry, I’m fuming, Boss, guess what I found out!]
Through the screen, Serena could feel his rage. Jude Ford quickly followed with an image.
[Boss, the Everett family has absolutely no shame, using your designs and claiming they are originals, and they’re selling like crazy!]
This unique and clever design was clearly the work of their Boss!
He really never expected the Everett family to be so shameless. They despise the Boss, drive her out, yet secretly use her designs to make a fortune. It’s just infuriating!
[Boss, they’ve made a big score using your designs and are totally full of themselves now. They’re even holding some kind of celebration banquet today, invited lots of reporters; they just want to get famous and break into high society!]
The mere thought of it made Jude Ford even angrier—this group of thieves stole their Boss’s designs and even dared to show them off; he had never seen such shamelessness!
Recognizing the design as one she lost when she left their home, Serena’s delicate porcelain-white face turned completely cold, emanating a terrifying chill as her slender fingers typed.
[It’s time to bring them down from their pedestal.]
For greedy and selfish people like Amy Miller and Lillian Everett, letting them think they’ve reached the top and then bringing them crashing down is the most painful fate for them!
Jude Ford replied quickly, his words filled with excitement.
[Boss, you’re finally going to take action against them. I’ve wanted to see them brought down for a long time!]
For years, the Everett family lived off the Boss, yet treated her so heartlessly and coldly. He’s longed to avenge the Boss!
Serena: [Send me the address of the banquet.]
Jude Ford was quick, sending the address to Serena’s phone in under three minutes.
Serena’s exceptionally beautiful fox-like eyes gleamed with a frosty light, [Also, call over more reporters.]
If they want fame, she’ll oblige them.
"Welcome to our company’s celebration banquet!"
Timon Everett stood at the hotel entrance, beaming with pride as he greeted guests. Beside him, Amy Miller and Lillian Everett, adorned in resplendent jewels, wore expressions of smug satisfaction.
Though the Everett family had recently struck it rich and become wealthy, in Imperia they couldn’t claim any real status—at best, they were just upstarts, and the true aristocratic families simply ignored them.
But now, thanks to Serena’s discarded design, they’d not only raked in money but also gained a reputation. Those people who wouldn’t associate with them before now fawned over them!
"Being invited to this celebration is truly an honor. President Everett, you’ve really hit the jackpot this time, we’re so envious! Next time, don’t forget to take us along for the ride!"
Timon Everett chuckled with visible satisfaction, "It’s all because of my daughter’s design talent, creating such excellent works, that we’ve achieved these results!"
Everyone immediately, and skillfully, showered him with compliments.
"President Everett, you truly have a wonderful daughter! To have such talent at such a young age, she will surely become as outstanding a designer as Serena Morgana in the future!"
"Yes, yes, President Everett, your daughter’s future is simply limitless!"
Hearing these flattering remarks made Lillian Everett even more proud.
Their family was approaching high society, while Serena, the misfortune-bringer, remained a pauper!
Even if she cozied up to rich men, what of it? One day she’d be cast aside!
Serena, the misfortune-bringer, would never surpass her!
"We’ve invited Miss Nancy to the banquet, and she really appreciates Lillian’s designs. It’s possible she might accept Lillian as a disciple at the banquet!" Amy Miller boasted, bursting with pride.
"Oh my, Miss Nancy is the only one who can rival Serena Morgana. To be her disciple would secure a future path in the design world!"
"Absolutely! I’ve heard that Miss Nancy is friends with Designer Morgana. If you win Miss Nancy’s favor, there’s a chance to meet Designer Morgana in the future!"
