Soon, the hotline call on the other side transferred to employee number 309, and the attendant’s voice came through, "Hello, I am employee number 309, happy to serve you. How may I assist you?" In Serena Sterling’s exquisitely painted eyes was a hint of aloofness, "Where’s your master?" The attendant was silent for a few seconds, "I don’t understand what you’re saying." "When you brought in the wine, I could tell you were agile and skilled in martial arts, don’t waste time. Where is your master, Seventh Young Master, or should I say, Seth Sullivan?" Anabelle Rathborne couldn’t hear what Serena Sterling was saying, her acupoint had been pressed, causing pain and numbness, and she could only struggle, "Serena Sterling, let me go!" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI-Fire.ɴet There was a knock at the door, "thump thump thump". Corvus had been following Serena Sterling all along, but her sudden entry into the women’s restroom with Anabelle Rathborne was unexpected for him. Everything happened too quickly, Serena Sterling’s actions were too swift, catching Corvus off guard. Now, an alarm was ringing in Corvus’s heart, he knew something had gone wrong. Something must have gone wrong. Corvus turned and ran to find Hayden Crawford. In the restroom, Serena Sterling knew her time was limited, so she didn’t intend to play games with employee number 309. She had been quiet and inactive for a while because she was waiting for someone, someone very important... Seth Sullivan! She came to this resort to give Seth Sullivan an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, if Seth Sullivan was smart enough to cooperate perfectly with her. Sure enough, Seth Sullivan didn’t disappoint her. When the attendant bearing the wine bottle appeared, she knew he was one of Seth Sullivan’s people. The attendant’s voice came over the line, "Miss Sterling, my master always said you are not an ordinary person, and indeed you are wise." "Thank you, pass on to your master to come and get me." Serena Sterling didn’t say where Seth Sullivan should pick her up, after all, even if she left the resort, there were still the power of the Crawford and Rathborne families and the watchful eyes of Titus Ashworth. How exactly she expected Seth Sullivan to get her through these two forces to pick her up, she didn’t say but instead hung up the phone directly. Returning the phone to Anabelle Rathborne’s pocket, she released Anabelle. All the pain in Anabelle Rathborne’s body subsided in an instant. She looked down at her wrists, already reddened from Serena Sterling’s grasp. She didn’t expect Serena Sterling to be so arrogant and bold, and dared to lay hands on her. Anabelle Rathborne was furious, her eyes filled with hatred as she looked at Serena Sterling, "Serena Sterling, what exactly do you want to do, who did you just call with my phone?" Serena Sterling didn’t even look at Anabelle Rathborne, she reached out directly to open the restroom door and walked out, "Hayden Crawford tampered with my phone, I couldn’t contact the outside world, so I just borrowed yours for a quick call." Anabelle Rathborne vaguely sensed something unusual with Serena Sterling, "Serena Sterling, do you think you can keep this from Hayden? I’ll tell him." Serena Sterling paused, now standing at the staircase, it was dangerous here, a wrong step could lead to a fall. Serena Sterling’s clear eyes fell on Anabelle Rathborne’s face, "I’ve already told you everything. Do you think I’d still be afraid of you telling Hayden Crawford?" Anabelle Rathborne was livid, completely unaware of Serena Sterling’s plans. She felt like a pawn in Serena Sterling’s hands, played at will. In the end, it all comes down to Serena Sterling relying on Hayden Crawford’s affection for her. Anabelle Rathborne’s pretty face contorted with jealousy, she glared at Serena Sterling with resentment, "Serena Sterling, don’t be too pleased. Hayden will soon see through your schemes, he’ll realize that I’m the one who truly loves him, I’ll wait for him, one day he’ll love me!" Serena Sterling showed little expression, lifting her small hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, "Oh, really?" With this casual action, the collar of her white dress opened a bit, revealing deep red marks on her delicate neck. Anabelle Rathborne saw them, saw the marks on Serena Sterling’s body, and her face changed, "Serena Sterling, did you sleep with Hayden?" Serena Sterling looked at Anabelle Rathborne, her bright eyes with a hint of a smile but not reaching their depths, "Anabelle, you’re very envious, aren’t you? A man like Hayden Crawford, so aloof and god-like, with such an ascetic aura, must frequently enter your dreams?" Serena Sterling was clearly flaunting her success to Anabelle Rathborne, the loser. Anabelle almost spat blood in anger, but quickly regained her composure and smiled smugly, "Serena Sterling, what are you proud of? You forgot about the video I sent you. I’ve already slept with Hayden." "That night Hayden was so good to me, so passionate and excited, Serena Sterling, I have to thank you. Is your beauty fading again, so Hayden will come to my room to sleep?" Anabelle Rathborne purposely provoked Serena Sterling, knowing she couldn’t stand it. However, contrary to her expectations, Serena Sterling remained indifferent, a lazy, exquisite expression on her seam-free features, "Then keep that night well, because it’s a limited edition. Hayden won’t touch you again." Anabelle Rathborne’s face changed, she didn’t understand what Serena Sterling was talking about, the fear and confusion from her ignorance made her very uneasy. "Serena Sterling, do you think you can get rid of me? Our fates are already tied together, leaving me, you’ll die!" Serena Sterling stepped forward, came to Anabelle Rathborne, curled her lips, and whispered with a smile, "Don’t worry, before I die, I’ll make sure to send you off first." Anabelle Rathborne was tormented by Serena Sterling’s calm and inscrutable demeanor, she grabbed Serena Sterling, "Serena Sterling, what exactly are you plotting?" Serena Sterling glanced at the hand grabbing her, speaking softly, "Anabelle, I’m pregnant, did you know?" Anabelle Rathborne gasped, her pupils dilated and constricted at a rapid rate. She had been planning to get pregnant, but she didn’t expect Serena Sterling to beat her to it. Anabelle Rathborne’s gaze fell on Serena Sterling’s flat stomach, was this where Hayden Crawford’s first child was? "Anabelle, I’m pregnant, and you’re the first to know, isn’t it an honor?" "Se... Serena Sterling, why are you telling me this?" Serena Sterling tilted her head slightly, "What do you think? If you personally caused the death of the child in my belly, what method do you think Hayden Crawford would use to make you pay?"
