Serena quickly furrowed her brows, looking at the top lawyer, "What were you saying just now, could you repeat it?" "Serena, don’t panic!" Brooke Linden immediately stood up, shielding Serena Sterling behind her, she looked at the top lawyer, "Julian Rathborne wants to sue me... for rape?" Seraphina Linden wanted to step forward when she heard these two words, but Serena beat her to it. Now, Seraphina stood her ground with a very serious expression. "Ms. Linden, you didn’t hear wrong. Mr. Rathborne wants to sue you for raping him twenty-three years ago. Ms. Linden can’t deny this case because Miss Sterling is your evidence, you’ve been running with your child for so many years." The top lawyer said. Serena was completely dazed. Who was she, where was she, what was she doing? She had just brought people over to bail her madam from solicitation, and before even stepping out of the door, her biological dad was suing her mom for rape. Quick, save the child, what did she do wrong? Seraphina really didn’t expect Julian Rathborne to have no bottom line . He still has the nerve to sue her. Didn’t she make him satisfied back then? Men, tsk tsk, truly shameless! "Ms. Linden, considering your daughter Miss Sterling is already so grown-up, Mr. Rathborne does not intend to put you in prison, he chooses to settle privately." Then the top lawyer handed a stack of documents to Seraphina Linden, "Ms. Linden, take a look, here is the estimated loss of Mr. Rathborne. Because of your actions, over the past twenty-three years, Mr. Rathborne has endured both physical and psychological impacts, so we are reasonably asking you for compensation. Once the compensation amount is paid, we’ll let this matter go and not pursue it further." Seraphina turned the documents to the last page, directly looking at the compensation amount, she murmured, "101... how many zeros are behind this?" Serena also leaned over to take a look. The compensation amount had many zeros following 101, making it dazzling at first glance. "Ms. Linden, the compensation amount Mr. Rathborne is asking for is 10.1 billion." The top lawyer smiled and said. Seraphina Linden looked at the top lawyer in shock, "10.1 billion, why doesn’t he rob a bank?" Fresh chapters posted on NoveIꜰire.net Twenty-three years ago, she picked the most perfect gene in the world, selecting Julian Rathborne, and in a night of passion, the seed of trouble was planted then. Twenty-three years later, Julian Rathborne actually caught hold of her to directly claim 10.1 billion. Sleeping with Aethelgard’s son Julian Rathborne that night is actually worth 10.1 billion. He might as well rob a bank. The top lawyer laughed, "Haha Ms. Linden, you are really humorous, Mr. Rathborne owns countless banks, they are his, no need to rob." Seraphina Linden, "..." Serena Sterling took Seraphina Linden back, carrying a high debt of 10.1 billion. Serena entered the villa room, where Seraphina Linden had just finished showering and was using a towel to dry her damp long hair, "Mom, how exactly are you going to resolve this matter with Dad, that’s 10.1 billion." Seraphina Linden put down the towel, "Serena, you don’t need to worry about this, I will handle it properly. I know it’s 10.1 billion, I don’t have that much money, I’m still in the early stages of my business and really need funds." Seraphina Linden is quite a little miser. Serena Sterling wasn’t very worried about this matter, letting mom handle dad shouldn’t be a problem. "By the way mom, you told me last time about the demon bells and The Merfolk Clan, can you tell me now?" Serena was curious. Seraphina Linden regained her composure, "Serena, the matter of The Merfolk Clan involves our ancestors. Back then, the ancestors of The State of Westria and our Alani ancestors were a couple, but the ancestor of Westria fell in love with someone else and betrayed our ancestor." "Fell in love? Did the ancestor of Westria fall for someone from The Merfolk Clan back then?" Seraphina Linden looked at Serena Sterling and praised her, "Yes, the ancestor of Westria fell for the princess of The Merfolk Clan, forsaking his promise to our ancestor. And back then, our ancestor and the princess were sworn sisters." Serena was hearing such a story for the first time, the ancestor of Westria actually meandering between a pair of opposite-sex sisters, truly a capital scoundrel. "Our Alani ancestor experienced the dual betrayal of a lover and a sister, and in fury, left for Westria and founded our ancient kingdom! Eventually, our ancestor discovered the princess of The Merfolk Clan carried a bell at all times, its ringing could enchant people. Only then did our ancestor realize it was a demon bell; the princess was skilled in Bewitching Technique." "Mom, since the princess of The Merfolk Clan was skilled in Bewitching Technique, could it be that the ancestor of Westria was merely enchanted and deep down he still loved our ancestor?" Seraphina Linden spoke slowly, "Back then, our ancestor possessed the iron knights of wolves, and heavenly medical skills, naturally couldn’t tolerate the existence of The Merfolk Clan among the Demonfolk. Hence, our ancestor led the wolf cavalry, pursuing the moon for thousands of miles, directly flattening The Merfolk Clan, breaking the Bewitching Technique cast on the ancestor of Westria. He regained clarity, weeping before our ancestor, begging for forgiveness, which led to reconciliation." Serena was deeply engrossed, "This sounds like a broken mirror restoration story, why then did our Alani ancient kingdom vanish from the world, what happened later?" "Afterwards... the ancestor of Westria proposed marriage to our ancestor, and on the day of the wedding, our ancestor donned a fiery red wedding gown thinking she’d marry her beloved admirer. However, that night, the ancestor of Westria wielded the ancient weapon, Sky Sword, and pierced through our ancestor’s heart." Seraphina Linden held Serena’s little hand, "At this moment, another person slowly stepped out of the bridal chamber, it was the princess of The Merfolk Clan. Turns out, the ancestor of Westria was always with the struggling princess, it was their scheme, using the wedding as a ploy to assassinate our ancestor and to bloodbath Alani that night, leading to our kingdom’s annihilation." "Since I wasn’t born yet, I only saw records in the ancient scrolls of Alani. It is said that blood shone through the sky that night, all twelve elders of our Alani kingdom rushed to the Westria wedding banquet, they fell one by one, with Alani people littering the ground, countless bodies, the blood dyeing the water of Westria." "The ancestor, pierced by Sky Sword, watched her people fall due to her mistakes, her eyes turned blood-red. At this time, the princess of The Merfolk Clan told the ancestor, ’The Merfolk Clan has already cursed Westria, from now on every ruler of Westria will fall under the Bewitching Technique, making them subjects to The Merfolk Clan.’"
