It’s the first time Sean Lockwood has been so proactive in asking her out.
"Get a good rest tonight, don’t worry about me here."
Serena Sullivan finished speaking, and she heard voices coming from outside the door. She exchanged good nights with Anna Morgan and hung up the phone.
Soon, footsteps and voices grew closer, and her door was opened from the outside. Serena raised her head to look at the window, showing no interest in the person who entered.
"Sister." A gentle voice called, and Serena heard the sound of footsteps approaching, "I’m here to take you to dinner."
Serena still didn’t respond, but Zoe Quinn wasn’t upset. She went over and placed her hand on the back of Serena’s chair.
"Sister, what are you looking at?" Zoe Quinn smiled, leaning towards Serena’s ear, "Are you thinking about Ethan?" Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on Nove1Fire.net
Zoe Quinn’s voice couldn’t hide her current smugness, the thought of having Serena in her grasp filled her with joy.
"It’s such a pity Ethan isn’t in Solaria, and he won’t be back anytime soon."
Serena certainly knew; yesterday Claire Sullivan came to talk to her about those things — no, she overheard Sean Lockwood in the restaurant hallway saying someone was sending themselves to her, which meant Zoe Quinn had made a move again.
"And Anna Morgan." Zoe Quinn continued, the smile on her lips growing even wider, "You say she’s really useless, Sean Lockwood makes one call, and she’s off climbing mountains with him, leaving you behind."
"Really such a fool!"
"Aren’t you the fool?" Serena retorted with a cold smile upon hearing Zoe Quinn disparage Anna Morgan.
"Serena!" Zoe Quinn’s voice rose, her eyes turning harsh as she restrained the urge to slap, noticing the maid at the door, she had no choice but to suppress her inner rage.
"Mrs. Zimmerman." Zoe Quinn straightened up, turning to the maid, "I’m taking my sister out to a party, I’ll have her back by nine."
No, once she’s out, Serena won’t come back for a night; maybe she won’t return to Willow Yarrow at all.
"Alright, alright." Before Serena could speak, the maid at the door agreed immediately. She approached and said to Serena, "Madam, don’t worry, Miss Quinn will take good care of you."
Serena turned to look at the smiling maid currying favor with Zoe Quinn, she smiled softly, initially thinking Zoe Quinn would take her from The Grant Corporation.
More cunning than she imagined, knowing to settle the housemaid while Ethan Grant is away.
This maid always resented her, took Zoe Quinn’s money, and planned to turn a blind eye, even if something happened, she would say Serena herself requested to go out.
"Auntie, I’m not going." Serena spoke to the maid, giving her one last chance.
The maid’s face instantly turned sour, she spoke displeasedly, "Madam, what are you doing at home all day? Miss Quinn isn’t an outsider." Saying this, she pushed the wheelchair towards the door.
Zoe Quinn followed behind, and when they reached the elevator, she saw the phone in Serena’s hand, snatching it away, "Sister, there are many people at the party, I’ll keep your phone for now."
Without her phone, let’s see how Serena finds help.
As for that shabby watch, even if Anna received a signal, she wouldn’t be able to come in time.
