Consort Willow couldn’t help but admire Serena Sterling’s composure; no matter what unexpected situation she encountered, she always maintained her current calmness and poise, not a hint of panic. Follow current novels on NoveIFire.net Since Serena Sterling didn’t speak up, Consort Willow had to continue herself, "Face changing, it’s exactly as it sounds, letting Melody change into your face, from now on becoming you, then Serena Sterling is Melody Ashworth, and Melody Ashworth is Serena Sterling!" Serena Sterling couldn’t help but sneer. Melody Ashworth went to great lengths to try to get closer to Hayden Crawford. She had even put herself in a vulnerable position earlier, but Hayden didn’t spare her a glance, so they came up with this more insidious and direct approach. "Prin...Princess, don’t mind me...don’t listen to her...Princess still has the great plan to revive Alani, make sure to prioritize... the overall situation...my death counts for nothing!" Cherie said weakly at this time. Serena looked at Cherie, "Cherie, I have always considered you as a sister, so I will definitely save you. If I can’t save my own sisters and family, how can I save our country in the future?" A watery mist quickly filled Cherie’s eyes, "Princess..." "Consort Willow," Serena’s clear eyes fell on Consort Willow’s face again, "Fine, I can agree with you. If you’re smart, you should know Cherie is your biggest bargaining chip, so you have to ensure her safety, not a single hair can be touched." "But..." Serena’s tone shifted, "Consort Willow, you want Melody Ashworth to become me, aren’t you afraid Hayden Crawford might notice? Hayden Crawford isn’t an ordinary man; the real Serena Sterling is real, the fake can never become real." Consort Willow took out something, "No need for Princess of Alani to worry about this, look at what this is?" Consort Willow held a magical bell in her hand. The bell gave a gentle shake, and immediately emitted a crisp and pleasant ringing sound. This ringing sound carried a charming allure, making those who heard it feel weakened and soft. "Princess of Alani, you must have heard of the story of our ancestors. Back then, my Merfolk Clan ancestors cast a spell on The State of Westria, the rulers of Westria could never escape from our clan’s Bewitching Technique. You see, over the years I have become the favorite of the palace, so as long as Melody uses this magical bell to employ Bewitching Technique on Hayden Crawford, do you think Hayden will notice? He might already be lost in Melody’s tender charms. In the future, Melody will completely replace you, have everything of yours, and you will be forgotten." Serena’s long lashes trembled slightly, her mother had already told her about this matter some time ago, at that time her mother had asked her if she were afraid? Afraid whether Hayden Crawford could escape the Merfolk Clan’s Bewitching Technique? At that time, she had no answer. Serena was silent for a few seconds, then raised her head, "Consort Willow, do you dare to bet with me, bet Hayden Crawford can see through Melody Ashworth’s true nature, bet that Hayden can break your Merfolk Clan’s spell?" Consort Willow stiffened. Serena’s clear eyes sparkled with twinkling stars, dazzling and radiant, "Cherie is my sister, I must save her. But Melody Ashworth wants to replace me, sleep with my man, become my princess, that is a complete daydream. Now, I have put all my bets on Hayden Crawford. Consort Willow, do you dare to come with me on a world-shattering gamble?" Consort Willow looked at Serena’s demeanor at this moment, surprisingly feeling somewhat guilty and timid inside, clearly she was certain to win this round, but Serena proposed a grand wager concerning Hayden Crawford. She chose to trust Hayden Crawford. If she were destined to lose everything, she also believed Hayden Crawford would quickly win the whole world for her. Hayden Crawford would never let her lose! Consort Willow felt she was quite ridiculous; she was a whole circle older than Serena Sterling, she had eaten more grains than Serena had eaten salt, yet she had lost to Serena’s aura in several confrontations, it was truly incredible. Consort Willow was stirred with a desire to compete, she didn’t believe, she absolutely didn’t believe, "Princess of Alani, you really want to bet with me, I’m afraid you’ll lose too miserably." "I won’t lose; the one destined to lose miserably is you!" Serena said with utmost certainty. At this moment, Melody Ashworth stepped out; she looked at Serena Sterling venomously, "Fine, Serena Sterling, we’ll bet with you. Not only will I bet with you, but I will also make you watch how I gradually replace you. I will make a Cherie’s skin mask, you will wear the mask, become Cherie, and follow me. I want you to see how I am affectionate and passionate with Hayden Crawford." Melody Ashworth will become Serena Sterling, Serena Sterling will become the maid Cherie at her side, following her constantly. Melody was too familiar with the taste of jealousy and envy. That taste felt like thousands of ants crawling in her heart, gnawing at her endlessly, tormenting her; she had had enough of that feeling, now she wanted Serena Sterling to taste it too! The psychological torment she had once suffered, now to be returned double to Serena Sterling! Consort Willow thought this plan was excellent, the dignified Princess of Alani suddenly became a maid, ordered around by her own daughter, this was too interesting. "Serena Sterling, so it’s decided then, Cherie is in our hands, you better not play any tricks, otherwise Cherie will suffer." Consort Willow threatened. Serena Sterling curved her red lips slightly, "Alright, everything at your behest." Then Consort Willow looked at Melody Ashworth, "Melody, from this moment on you are Serena Sterling. Hayden Crawford is inside waiting for you, go in." Consort Willow’s eyes were slightly ambiguous, full of hints. Melody Ashworth quickly put on the skin mask, transforming into that exquisite face of Serena Sterling, she had been emulating Serena Sterling for years, her manners and charm were very similar. "Serena Sterling, I’m heading in now. You had splashed cold water on me earlier and teased me, you just wanted to stop me from being with Hayden Crawford, but unfortunately, he’s destined to be my man!" After saying this, Melody Ashworth twisted her slender waist and went forward, pushed open the wooden cabin door, and entered. Serena Sterling stood where she was, remembering the promise she had made with Hayden Crawford tonight, but now an unexpected situation had arisen, a true and false Serena Sterling. "Serena Sterling, put on this skin mask, also take this medicine, it will keep you from speaking." Serena’s voice was sweet and clear, easily recognizable, now Consort Willow was using medicine to make Serena lose her voice, becoming mute. Serena had no objections, she also had no choice, she pinched the medicine and placed it in her mouth. Hayden Crawford had just taken off his shirt when the door creaked open, he raised his eyes, and Serena Sterling walked in.
