The entire luxury private room fell silent; the evidence was undeniable. Serena Sterling dropped a bombshell, confirming she had been with Hayden Crawford?! Several business tycoons, especially President Green, felt a sense of dread. What had he just done? He actually dared to mess with Hayden Crawford’s woman! Hayden Crawford had been a formidable force in the business world in recent years, with ruthless and decisive methods. Those who crossed him never met a good end. At this moment, Hayden Crawford had his arm around Serena’s slender waist. His deep, narrow eyes glanced faintly over each businessman’s face in turn. "Serena, tell these people whose woman you are, hm? Tell them you won’t serve these dogs." Serena looked up at him, behaving demurely, "I’m... Hayden Crawford’s woman. I serve no one but you!" The whole room, "..." Were the rest just fed a mouthful of PDA? President Green’s legs went completely weak. He stammered, "Mr... Mr. Crawford, I apologize for my disrespect. I didn’t realize this little beauty was yours. If I had known, I wouldn’t have dared to covet her, even with a borrowed courage." Hayden lightly lifted his handsome eyelids to look at President Green, barely hooking his thin lips into a cold and sinister line, "Do you want to handle it yourself, or should I do it?" Official source is novelꜰire.net Sweat dripped from President Green’s forehead. Now, Hayden was being domineering and firm. He was determined to settle the score, especially after President Green foolishly put something in Serena’s drink. "Mr. Crawford, I... I’ll handle it myself. It was my fault. I beg you to forgive me this once..." With that, President Green picked up the drugged bottle of wine. Clenching his teeth, he smashed the bottle over his own head. With a crack, the bottle shattered, and the wine soaked him, leaving him extremely disheveled. The glass shards mercilessly cut into his skin, and two streams of shocking red blood slowly trickled down his head. This time, President Green went hard on himself because he knew Hayden would be even harsher if he didn’t. "Mr... Mr. Crawford, I’ve already punished myself..." President Green didn’t bother to wipe the blood away, looking at Hayden with a mix of fear and flattery. Hayden’s gaze slid over President Green and then moved to the other business tycoons in the room. President Green had drugged Serena’s drink, but these other tycoons had tried to force her to drink. Hayden was a man who couldn’t overlook even the smallest grievance, and now he planned to settle things with the rest. The business tycoons’ faces changed. With President Green as an example, they wisely picked up their cups, forcing a smile, "Mr. Crawford, there’s no need for you to do anything. We’ll drink it all ourselves as a sign of respect." The business tycoons began to down their drinks. No emotion crossed Hayden’s exquisite face. In a deep, magnetic voice, he allowed a hint of laughter, "Take your time, gentlemen. Tonight’s on me—make sure you drink to your heart’s content." Drink until they vomit... The business tycoons exchanged looks and instantly became crestfallen. After dealing with them, Hayden bent down and effortlessly picked Serena up, "We can leave now." "Wait a moment." Serena quickly wrapped her arms around Hayden’s neck, playfully batting her lashes, "Aren’t you forgetting someone? Your new flame, Ella." Ella, who had been forgotten in the corner, witnessed Hayden standing up for Serena and felt so much resentment she almost spat blood. Now that she was addressed, Ella looked up at Serena in alarm, sensing she might be next. Ella knew that Hayden had been completely enchanted by this vixen, Serena. Sure enough, Serena pointed at Ella with her slender finger, her alluring red lips pouting and slightly tipsy, playing up the vixen role to the hilt, "Hayden, your new love Ella bullied me; shouldn’t you take revenge for me?" Hayden didn’t even glance at Ella, as if she didn’t exist. He just looked at the girl in his arms, pinching her soft waist, "You know she’s my new flame; how should I take revenge for you?" Hayden was extremely cunning, and Serena was on the same page. She leaned in, her red lips touching his handsome cheek with a loud "smack", "Mr. Crawford, perhaps you should consider ditching Ella and elevating me instead?" Hayden raised his refined eyebrows, as if seriously considering, "One kiss to take the top spot?" Serena pressed her red lips against his thin lips, boldly tracing his sexy, cold lip line with her tongue like he did. She blinked her big, bright eyes at him, "How about this?" Hayden’s handsome brow hinted at amusement, "Alright, I’ll take revenge for you. Tomorrow, she’ll vanish from Aethelgard." And with that, Hayden carried Serena out in large strides. Ella stood frozen, her mind echoing Hayden’s last words: tomorrow she would disappear from Aethelgard. Ella’s legs gave way, and she collapsed onto the plush carpet, knowing she was done for. After all her efforts to climb up, she had finally arrived in the bustling metropolis of Aethelgard and even stood next to an influential man like Hayden. But in an instant, he had cast her from paradise to hell. Everything happened so fast, it was like a dream. Hayden carried Serena inside and gently placed her on the carpet, his tall, strong figure looming over her, kissing her red lips deeply. Serena barely had time to steady herself before his overwhelming kisses descended, dominating her every breath. Feeling dizzy, Serena tried to push him away. But the man was like an immovable wall, his large hands resting on her soft waist, kissing her while pushing her back. Soon, Serena’s slender back pressed against the floor-to-ceiling window as he murmured in a husky voice, "Clinging to me when you need me, but trying to kick me away when you don’t - Serena, you’re so realistic!" Serena was truly drunk, her bright eyes appearing hazy, "Mmph... that’s not what I meant... Ah!" She suddenly let out a scream. Hayden released her, bracing one hand against the wall, "Now what?" Serena looked panicked, "My... my little ding-ding is gone!" He didn’t know what other women were like when drunk, but Serena always seemed to look for her little ding-ding!
