Chapter 479
Nicholas looked at Black Jack, who was beaming, then back at Serena.
Serena was silent for a second before speaking. “Yeah, she’s my friend. Her name is Hazel. She just happened to be here to see me and lent a hand p>
Nicholas’s gaze swept over the Norvane warriors scattered across the floor, then at the few bodies lying under the expensive, clearly modified heavy motorcycle.
His deep, obsidian-like eyes narrowed slightly.
He knew that the estate’s defense systems had been fully activated once they learned that Norvane’s people had infiltrated the Blackwood family estate.
This woman… was able to ride a motorcycle and infiltrate the Blackwood estate without any trouble, entering the garage without a sound p>
She was probably, like Serena, no ordinary person.
Someone like that was too dangerous.
Nicholas generally disliked having too much to do with such dangerous people, but… she was Serena’s friend.
Naturally, he wouldn’t get on her bad side. “Hello, Ms. Carring. I’m Nicholas, the owner of this estate. Thank you for your help p>
“Oh, handsome- Don’t be such a stranger,” Black Jack said with a dismissive wave of her hand, her wild eyes sizing up Nicholas without blinking. “Just call me Hazel. I love this name p>
It was clear that Black Jack was very fond of her Elyndor code name.
Nicholas replied, “Ms. Hazel, since you’re Serena’s friend, you are a friend of the Blackwood family. Today is my sister’s eighteenth birthday party. Why don’t you… accompany Serena to the celebration? My people will clean up here and take care of the rest p>
Black Jack nodded with satisfaction, then hooked an arm around Serena’s shoulder and whispered “My friend your man here is pretty smooth, a real catch, tsk tsk… he weren’t yours, I’d really wanta taste p>
She hadn’t even finished her sentence.
Serena lifted her arm and jabbed her elbow sharply into her friend’s side.
Black Jack twisted her waist, gracefully dodging the blow.
Her wild, stunning face broke into a devilish grin. “Oh my, are we getting possessive p>
Serena rolled her eyes at her. “Are you going to the party or not p>
Black Jack took her arm and spun her around on the spot.
She looked at her friend’s fiery red gown, which made her skin look pale and cool, giving her a cold, domineering beauty.
“Girl, you look surprisingly proper all dressed up. I’ve never worn anything like this in my life p>
Black Jack’s hand slid down
Serena’s waist in a playful caress, then she glanced down at her own red leather outfit. “In this getup, I’d better not. I’d be totally out of place at your high end party. I dont want to embarrass my darling Serena… I mean, Demon… No, Serena p>
“That’s not a problem,” Nicholas said, glancing at a bodyguard. “Take Ms. Hazel to a dressing room p>
The bodyguard stepped forward and
bowed respectfully. “Ms. Carring, the Blackwood estate has many spare gowns available, just in case our guest have any needs. If you don’t
mind Ms. Hazel y
Ms. Hazel, you can pick one
that you like. Rest assured, they are
all new p>
Black Jack’s eyes lit up. “Really? That’s fantastic! I’ve never worn a proper gown in my life! Today, thanks to my darling Serena, I’ll get to see what one of your top-tier parties is all about p>
She raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile spreading across her face. She stared at Nicholas for a few seconds, then ran a hand through her curls. “I’m rooting for you, handsome p>
