The scene was chaotic, reporters frantically pushed forward, someone stepped on Lillian Sterling’s hand, foot, leg... She screamed in pain. Gregory Sterling flicked his sleeve and left, but Bella Sterling was still there. She quickly went forward to protect Lillian Sterling, "Get away, you’re stepping on my mom!" The reporters immediately pointed at Bella Sterling, "Bella Sterling, you’re no good either, like mother like daughter." "I remember Serena Sterling coming back, and you two mother and daughter plotted against her multiple times, utterly hideous." "Bella Sterling, you deserve to be abandoned, how could Mr. Su possibly like you?" Bella Sterling’s arrogance was immediately extinguished by the scolding, and someone stepped on her too, the pain brought tears to her eyes. The mother and daughter shriveled up into a group, like rats crossing the street, everyone shouted to beat them. Soon a group of security guards came forth, barely rescuing the injured mother and daughter. Lillian Sterling and Bella Sterling returned home, Bella Sterling fearfully said, "Mom, Dad is really angry this time, what if Dad throws us out, and everyone outside is criticizing us, we have nowhere to go, now I don’t even dare to go out." Lillian Sterling was so angry she almost bit her gums to pieces, she didn’t expect to end up in such a miserable state. The source of thɪs content is novel•fire.net This time Serena Sterling turned the situation around, letting her blow things up and then making her reap what she sowed. The fermentation of this public opinion has already spread, at such a critical juncture she has nowhere to go, and why should she leave? She dedicated her entire youth to Gregory Sterling, to this Sterling family, the position of Mrs. Sterling is hers. Lillian Sterling patted Bella Sterling on the hand, "Vanessa, go rest in your room first, don’t worry, Mom will handle all of this." Bella Sterling went back to her room. Lillian Sterling sat in silence for a moment, then took out her phone and dialed Serena Sterling’s number. Soon, the call was picked up, Serena Sterling’s clear voice came through, "Hello, Auntie, are you okay?" This call was within Serena Sterling’s expectations, she seemed to be waiting for her to call. Listening to her calm yet slightly mocking words, Lillian Sterling venomously clenched her fist, "Serena Sterling, you think your father will divorce me, you think you’ve won?" "Otherwise, does Auntie have any trump cards left?" Lillian Sterling sneered, "Serena Sterling, you still don’t understand your father well enough, as long as I have value to him, he won’t abandon me, let’s wait and see." Serena Sterling smiled, "Alright, I’m looking forward to it, hope Auntie shows her skills, don’t let me see you as a joke again." Lillian Sterling hung up the phone, she wanted to throw the phone in anger but held back after thinking it over, she called Gregory Sterling. Gregory Sterling hadn’t come back, recently he often stayed out at night. Lillian Sterling called several times, but Gregory Sterling didn’t answer. Lillian Sterling stopped calling, and directly sent a message to Gregory Sterling saying my godfather wants to come to attend our wedding anniversary. Soon, Gregory Sterling’s call came through. At this time, Serena Sterling was in Coralta, she really came to visit. In the vacation villa, Leah Thorne handed a coconut with a straw inserted to Serena Sterling, "Serena, this time Lillian Sterling is really at the end of her rope, right." Serena Sterling put down her phone, "Don’t rush, Lillian Sterling still has tricks, over the years she has been stable in her position as Mrs. Sterling mainly because she is my dad’s capable helpmate, using her connections to help The Sterling Group’s medical branch. Now that I provoked her, Lillian Sterling is likely to play her trump card." Leah Thorne curled her lips, "Once the trump card is revealed, it won’t be far from death." Serena Sterling hummed softly, now she just needs to wait quietly. Leah Thorne lay on the rattan chair, wearing a red strap dress, the red color highlighted her skin like a freshly peeled egg white, her palm-sized face was exquisite and charming, lazily imbued with lively charm, a natural beauty. "Serena, ever since you went back, every day feels like a battle, if you ask me, let your Mr. Crawford make them all disappear." "No way, I’ve said I want to maintain mental independence, be both accomplished inside and out." Leah Thorne glanced at Serena Sterling, "Serena, men conquer the world, women just need to conquer men." Serena Sterling winked suggestively, "Leah, I’m not like you, I don’t have a sugar daddy." "I also have professional integrity, my service makes him feel it’s worth it." Looking at Leah Thorne’s soft and charming look, Serena Sterling was almost enchanted, let alone men. She stood up, "Leah, let’s go shopping." Leah Thorne fluttered her lashes like a fan, "Buying a gift for Mr. Crawford?" Serena Sterling was deeply impressed, "Yes, didn’t Lillian Sterling transfer money into my account, a million, and besides... Mr. Crawford also brought me a gift during his business trip..." Lillian Sterling doesn’t know, Serena Sterling grew up soaking in medicine, resistant to hundred poisons, those drugs don’t work on her at all. In the hospital, she pretended to faint and used silver needles to incapacitate those few men in black. Leah Thorne, from the entertainment circle, found a plastic surgery girl who looked a bit like her and took a few pictures. Since it was a side profile and face was veiled, Lillian Sterling didn’t notice, resulting in subsequent events. The one million Lillian Sterling transferred into the account ended up in Serena Sterling’s pocket, and Serena Sterling didn’t realize she was worth that much. A million is definitely not a small sum, she never had so much money before. The agent drove the nanny car, carrying the two beauties to the mall, instantly becoming the most glamorous sights in the mall. Leah Thorne curiously asked Serena Sterling, "Serena, what gift did Mr. Crawford buy for you?" "Roundy, a small kitten." "Seems like Mr. Crawford is pleasing you like a little girl." Serena Sterling felt sweet inside, "Leah, what gift do you think I should give Mr. Crawford?" Serena Sterling was buying a man a gift for the first time and didn’t know what to buy. Leah Thorne lowered her hat, trying not to stand out in the crowd, "If it were me, I’d buy a set of sexy lingerie and wear it, then give myself to him." Serena Sterling immediately felt she shouldn’t have asked Leah Thorne this question, Mr. Crawford was already amorous enough, she couldn’t encourage his waywardness! Serena Sterling looked at men’s clothing, his clothes seemed all custom-made, no need to buy. Soon, Serena Sterling stopped, she looked at the men’s belt in the display window. Memories suddenly flashed back to that night in the bar, where he asked her to undo his belt... Serena Sterling’s pale ear quickly reddened. At this time, Leah Thorne beside her deliberately coughed twice, "Serena, that’s too much."
