Chapter 37
With one hand in her pocket, Serena walked out of the estate with the swagger of a boss.
Two sharp honks sounded from a car.
A figure jumped out of the car in a hurry, waving at Serena. “Serena! Serena p>
Serena’s gaze fell on the car parked at the estate’s entrance—a fluorescent blue sports car with sleek lines, a dazzling color, and an extremely flamboyant design. Then she looked at Brian’s fluorescent green leather jacket and pants.
Serena was speechless.
He looked more over-the-top than any poser she’d ever seen.
It was only thanks to his devilishly handsome face that he could pull off such a flashy outfit.
“Oh my god, Serena, Celestial Heights Estate! This is the most expensive real estate in all of Vaelion City! And this is the most luxurious part of the estate, with such a huge property p>
Brian, completely oblivious to his questionable fashion choices, craned his neck with an exaggerated expression, staring at the luxurious mansion behind the wrought- iron gates. He clicked his tongue in amazement. “Serena, you have to tell me! Just how rich is your family? Look, my eyes are green with envy p>
This place, this location… even his own old man couldn’t get his hands on something like this!
Serena opened the passenger door and sat down, pulling her newly issued ID from her pocket and flashing it in front of Brian.
Brian leaned in, and when his eyes landed on the name, his pupils widened instantly. “Serena… Serena Lancaster p>
He shot his head up, the playful look gone from his face. “Lancaster? As in, the Lancaster family, the richest in Vaelion City p>
With a flick of her finger, Serena slid the ID back into her palm and put it away.
It was a silent confirmation.
Brian dramatically put his hands together and bowed a full ninety degrees. “Your humble servant greets the young lady of the Lancaster family! Forgive my insolence! Please, take me under your wing p>
Amused by his clowning, Serena’s eyes curved into a slight smile. “Stop messing around. Drive p>
“As you command!” Brian scurried over to the driver’s side.
The engine roared to life, and the flashy, fluorescent blue sports car shot off into the night like a streak of blue light.
Just then, Serena’s phone rang.
She took it out and saw a familiar name on the screen-Adrian Cole.
Her finger paused for a moment, her gaze momentarily lost in thought.
The moment she answered.
Adrian’s usual, commanding voice came through the phone. “Come pick me up at Obsidian Palace, room 6103. I drank too much, and my head is killing me p>
The tone was so natural, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
As if Serena was still the Wynn family’s daughter who would bend to his every whim.
Well, that made sense.
Adrian had always been confident.
Confident that he could control her completely.
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Serena’s eyes, her voice cold and devoid of any warmth. “Adrian, if you’ve had too much to drink, call a car service. Or call your girlfriend… Hailey Wynn p>
“We’re done. Don’t call me again. We should stay out of each other’s lives. Got it p>
She hung up and blocked the number without a second thought.
Her movements were fluid and decisive.
“Nice!” Brian whistled. “That idiot from the Cole family still dares to order you around? Who does he think he is? That scumbag is only treated like a treasure by these morons in the Wynn family p>
“I told you long ago that idiot was never good enough for you. What right did he have to be your fiancé? If it wasnt for your Serena I would have crushed his family’s business back when he first tried to get with you. The Coles wouldn’t be where they are today p>
