After speaking, Iris Blue left.
Hayden Crawford’s tall figure froze in place. He knew Iris Blue was openly and subtly talking about him, the one who kept staring at Serena was him, the lecher was him, and the lustful ghost was him!
In Hayden Crawford’s 28 years of life, he had never been judged by anyone. He was the heaven’s pride, a noble in the business world, with countless women revolving around him. But now he had been defined as a lustful ghost!
Hayden Crawford’s handsome face turned dark.
The kitten Ronda in his arms was fluttering, trying to escape his embrace to run to Serena.
Hayden Crawford was in a bad mood. He looked down at Ronda sternly and irritably, "Behave yourself, she doesn’t want you!"
Scared by his sternness, Ronda curled into a trembling ball, muttering nonsense, she doesn’t want you!
Iris Blue took Serena’s small hand, "Serena, let’s go to another store for a stroll."
Serena followed Iris Blue to leave, and before she left, she lifted her clear bright eyes to look at Tiana Ford, who hadn’t spoken a word.
Serena walked over and lowered her voice, "Tiana Ford, things between us are not over. I’ll find you at the Academy of Sciences."
Serena’s slender figure disappeared from view.
Tiana Ford gloomily stared at the direction where Serena disappeared. She had spent some time with Serena and knew Serena’s combat power well. Serena was smart and courageous, quickly reacting after being schemed against once, like a sword drawn from its sheath, already aiming the blade emitting a cold light at her direction, forcing Tiana Ford to be on alert.
Serena just said I’ll find you at the Academy of Sciences!
Tiana Ford quickly refuted, Serena couldn’t enter the Academy of Sciences, because Old Man Knight, the dean, wouldn’t let her in, how could she get in?
But Tiana Ford was still worried, it was obvious that Serena’s words had already left her anxious and uneasy within speculation and fear.
Serena really was a formidable opponent!
This time Anabelle Rathborne had lost miserably in the confrontation against Serena, she walked to Hayden Crawford’s side, "Hayden, Iris and Serena, this mother and daughter duo, are really arrogant. Let them be arrogant for a while now, they will cry tomorrow. As far as I know, none of the reputable heirs will attend tomorrow, Serena has already been played by those men in black, and no one would be willing to pick up the pieces."
Just as Anabelle Rathborne’s voice fell, she felt a cold and displeased gaze on her face. When she looked up, Hayden Crawford was staring at her.
Hayden Crawford’s narrow eyes were like ink splashed spreading out, thick and bottomless. He looked at Anabelle Rathborne coldly, "When did you start to enjoy gossiping like those foolish and gossipy people outside? Is this how you, a Rathborne lady, are educated, to slander others?"
Anabelle Rathborne’s pretty face suddenly turned pale. He was criticizing her, and his words were heavy, as if slapping her face, making her feel humiliated and embarrassed.
Just because she had spoken ill of Serena?
He actually defended that Serena !
"Hayden, I..." Anabelle Rathborne looked at him, feeling innocent and aggrieved.
But Hayden Crawford didn’t have the patience to listen to her say one more word, not even a single word. He directly strode away, leaving her there.
He left, abandoning her here, even though she was his fiancée, yet in his eyes, what did she even count for?
Annabelle Rathborne’s eyes were covered with a layer of mist.
At this moment, Tiana Ford walked over, "Annette, don’t be at odds with Mr. Crawford because of Serena. Let Serena relish her moment. Tomorrow is Mr. Sterling’s fiftieth birthday, and if no reputable heirs attend, she will become the biggest joke in Aethelgard."
Anabelle Rathborne quickly withdrew the mist from her eyes, yes, tomorrow there will be a show to watch as Serena becomes a clown and a laughingstock!
Hayden Crawford returned with Ronda. Because Ronda liked the little fish cookies Serena bought, he had someone buy a few bags back.
In the bedroom, Hayden Crawford rolled up the sleeves of his black shirt a few times, revealing his solid forearm and the expensive steel watch on his wrist. He kneeled on one knee, holding a small fish cookie in his hand and passing it to Ronda, "Open your mouth."
Ronda meowed once, refusing to eat.
Hayden Crawford furrowed his sword brows, threatening, "If you don’t eat it, then you won’t get anything."
Ronda turned around, simply showing him her back.
Hayden Crawford, "..."
Serena fed her the small fish cookies, he had them buy exactly the same ones. But when Serena fed Ronda, she wagged her tail thinking it’s divine delicacy. Yet when he fed Ronda, Ronda just showed him her back.
Hayden Crawford’s heroic eyebrows furrowed tightly like a "川" character, he didn’t understand why Ronda had such different behavior or why he himself was acting on impulse, bringing this kitten from Bayside and even attending to her .
At this moment, a string of melodious cell phone ringtones sounded, there was a call.
It was Jude Crawford calling.
Hayden Crawford pressed the button to connect, "Hello."
Jude Crawford’s deep voice transmitted from the other end, "Hayden, are you going to the Sterling family’s birthday celebration tomorrow?"
Why would he attend the Sterling family’s birthday celebration, no one invited him!
Hayden Crawford’s thin lips moved, "No."
"Then come home for dinner in the evening. Your brother Zane is back, and he said he’ll bring his fiancée along."
Hayden Crawford’s handsome eyelids moved slightly. He knew Zane Crawford already found that little girl, but he didn’t expect Zane Crawford to bring her to the Crawford family so quickly.
"Okay," Hayden Crawford replied with one word, then hung up the phone.
He will go tomorrow night, he wants to see what that little girl looks like when she’s grown up. Though she has been seized by Zane Crawford and is already Zane’s fiancée, she was still his mother’s little bride once promised to him.
The next day, at the Sterling family.
Mr. Sterling’s fiftieth birthday celebration began with great fanfare. The whole Sterling household was brightly decorated, and as a respected elder brother, everyone came to pay their respects, with gifts piling up like mountains. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novèlfire.net
Mr. Sterling, wishing you boundless happiness and longevity.
Mr. Sterling, wishing you family happiness and all the best.
Mr. Sterling was all smiles, hurriedly greeting everyone, "You’re all brothers, just come, there’s no need for gifts, come in and have some tea."
Soon Iris discovered something abnormal; she quietly pulled Mr. Sterling’s sleeve and whispered, "Mr. Sterling, why did everyone bring wives and daughters, and there’s not a single son among them."
Mr. Sterling looked up, and among the crowd, he really didn’t see any reputable heirs, not even one, not a shadow.
