Chapter 1233

Phelps’s expression turned even uglier.

Standing beside him, Voss’s face twitched.

He had assumed that if he threw around the Organizing Committee’s authority and leaned on the Prescott family’s influence, Moore would eventually back down.

Who could have predicted the man would be this unyielding?

Phelps exchanged a dark look with Voss. If playing nice wasn’t going to work, they had to use force.

Things had escalated too far. They had to pin the banned substance charge on Serena and turn her into a global laughingstock!

“Stop wasting time with him!” Phelps stepped forward, barking orders. “This is an official tournament operation! Anyone who interferes is an accomplice. Search the room! I want to see exactly what dirty secrets she’s hiding in there p>

Voss gritted his teeth and waved his hand, ordering his security to push through the bodyguards’ defensive line.

Just as the guards began shouting, shoving their way toward the Elyndorian students p>

Click.

The sound of a lock disengaging echoed down the hall.

The heavy oak doors of the penthouse suite slowly swung open.

The chaotic shouting died instantly.

Every single pair of eyes snapped toward the doorway.

Serena leaned casually against the doorframe, dressed in a pure white silk bathrobe.

The belt was tied loosely at her waist, highlighting her stunning curves while radiating a suffocating, predatory aura.

Her dark, waterfall-like hair was still dripping wet.

A few damp strands clung to her luminous neck, making her flawless features look even more breathtakingly radiant.

Her luminous skin and sharp features were naturally striking, and the faint mist of moisture around her eyes only added to her allure.

But when she lifted her gaze, her eyes were like shards of ice.

It was an absolutely lethal kind of beauty.

Radiant, relaxed, and impossibly dangerous.

She looked exactly like someone who had just been rudely interrupted.

When Serena had returned to the hotel, she immediately sensed a crowd gathering outside her room.

She couldn’t let anyone know she

had been out, so she seamless/et

scaled the exterior of the building

and Slipped back in through the Window undetected conten

She quickly changed, hopped into the shower, and emerged looking perfectly like a guest who had just finished washing up, only to hear riot outside her door

Her timing was impeccable.

“Captain p>

Seeing Serena appear, the dam broke for Lydia. Her eyes welled with tears as all

her suppressed frustration spilled over.

Serena’s gaze swept over the crowd.

It landed on Lydia and Caleb first.

When she saw the scrapes on their elbows and their rumpled clothes the last trace of relaxed

in her eyes vanished, replaced by a freezing absolute zero.

She looked at the rest of her teammates.

They were angry, breathing heavily, their clothes slightly torn.

A few clearly bore the marks of being violently shoved.

It was obvious a serious physical altercation had just taken place.

Serena lowered her lashes, a terrifying chill seeping into her eyes.

“You dared to touch my people p>

Her voice was incredibly calm, yet it sent a violent shiver down the spines of everyone in the hallway.

She raised a hand, casually adjusting the collar of her robe. Without sparing a single

glance for Phelps, she stepped out into the corridor.

She walked directly toward Chief Arbiter Voss.

Her pace was slow and measured.

But with every step she took, another layer of cold sweat broke out on Voss’s forehead.

“Come on, then p>

Serena looked up at him, her voice devoid of any warmth. “Look me in the eye and

tell me exactly what you’re trying to do p>
