Is the only-love with Serena Sterling? The heiresses of Bayside widened their eyes and all looked at Serena Sterling. Serena Sterling exchanged a glance with Leah Thorne, realizing that tonight Yasmine Sterling had led these Bayside heiresses here for the only-love. "Serena, today at the institute, you boasted in front of me about wearing the only-love. You said you wanted the heiresses of Bayside to witness it tonight, to take a good look at the only-love you’re wearing. Now everyone is here, so stop keeping us in suspense and show everyone the only-love," Yasmine laughed. Serena looked at Yasmine’s pretentious demeanor. These words weren’t spoken by her; they were made up by Yasmine, who was imagining things and falsely accusing her. Yasmine deliberately provoked these Bayside heiresses to attack her.

The Bayside heiresses stared at the legendary only-love, their eyes fixed—wow, it’s so beautiful. But, why is the beautiful only-love worn by Serena Sterling? Erica Hawthorne was the first to jump out, "Serena Sterling, how do you have the only-love? You’re a bumpkin from the countryside, how could you afford the only-love? Is it fake?" Serena looked at Erica’s envious and jealous appearance, smiling slightly, "Erica, you’re the princess of the Hawthorne family, accustomed to various luxury goods. How could you not tell whether this only-love is real or fake? It’s really... disappointing." Erica gazed at the only-love a few more times. The heart-shaped red diamond of the only-love emitted a dazzling charm, clearly a piece worth a fortune; how could it be a counterfeit? Serena Sterling, I heard this only-love was bought by a mysterious benefactor. Now how come it’s with you? Serena Sterling, I think you could never afford such a costly only-love in your lifetime. Honestly, did you steal it? Serena Sterling, now that we have the proof, quickly hand over the only-love, or we’ll take you to the police station! The Bayside heiresses got anxious, their eyes reddened with anger. They all stood up, rolling up their sleeves, intending to snatch the only-love around Serena’s neck. In their eyes, Serena was unworthy of wearing the only-love. Heiresses like them should be its rightful owners. Besides, this only-love is truly beautiful, emitting an alluring light. The Bayside heiresses wanted to rush over and snatch Serena’s only-love—whoever seizes it will own it! Serena didn’t expect them to be so enthusiastic and crazy; Mr. Crawford’s gift, the only-love, indeed had immense allure. Everyone charged over, Leah Thorne lifted her fan-like feathers, casting a fierce glance with her alluring eyes, "Who dares to move?" Everyone froze, quickly looking towards the door. There were several brawny black-clad bodyguards by the door, brought by Leah. "Leah, you bring bodyguards when you go out?" Leah curved her seductive red lips, "I’m a big star, aren’t I? You obviously couldn’t understand the troubles of being a big star. There’s no choice; some people always want to harm me!" The Bayside heiresses labeled "some people" burned with anger, "Leah, you bully too much!" Leah lazily replied, "Bear with it, don’t get angry, your freshly done nose might get crooked from rage." That Bayside heiress hurriedly covered her nose in a panic. Yasmine, who had been observing the situation with amusement, spoke up, "We’re all sisters, don’t damage the bonds, everyone sit down. I can guarantee Serena’s only-love is genuine, and it’s not stolen because Mr. Crawford gave it to Serena." Everyone gasped, Mr. Crawford? These heiresses didn’t have the privilege to meet Hayden Crawford. The Crawford family was Bayside’s number one wealthy household, and Hayden Crawford was a prominent figure in Bayside, said to be young, handsome, wealthy, mature, powerful—a business emperor who entered many heiresses’ dreams. Now Yasmine claimed that the only-love Serena had was given to her by Hayden Crawford? Yasmine, seeing everyone’s disbelief, sweetly smiled, "I’m not lying. Somehow Serena has won Mr. Crawford’s heart; he not only gave Serena the only-love but a few days ago Erica and I saw Serena using Mr. Crawford’s Black Gold Card in a boutique." Erica understood, "That’s right! Mr. Crawford gave Serena Sterling a Black Gold Card; I saw it with my own eyes! So the mysterious benefactor from the auction was Mr. Crawford, who bought the only-love for Serena!" As soon as the words fell, the entire room descended into silence, everyone looking at Serena with resentful jealousy. Rumors had been spreading about Hayden Crawford and Yasmine; recently, Hayden Crawford had lavishly spent 1.2 billion because of Yasmine. Everyone was jealous, but as the top heiress in Bayside, they could somewhat tolerate Yasmine. Now it was Serena, they absolutely couldn’t tolerate it. Serena Sterling, if I recall correctly, aren’t you married? You married that ghost husband from Orchid Court and now you’re seducing Mr. Crawford? Serena, have you no shame? Faced with these accusations, Serena remained unmoved, calmly saying, "You’d have to ask your Mr. Crawford why he overlooks you unmarried heiresses and prefers me, a married woman with a ghost husband. Is it my charm that’s overwhelming, or is my charm simply too overwhelming?" You—you—you’re outrageous! Serena, you’ll see, we will certainly reveal your true nature to Mr. Crawford! Be prepared for the day when you are discarded! All the heiresses angrily left. The Bayside heiresses left the room, feeling utterly indignant, "Who has Mr. Crawford’s phone number? Let’s pool our money to invite Mr. Crawford for a meal and reveal her true nature!" Just then, Erica excitedly exclaimed, "Look, that’s Hayden Crawford, Hayden Crawford has arrived!"
