Chapter 483
When they heard the name “Hazel,” the Lancasters’ expressions faltered for a
moment. They looked at the bold, bright, and untamed young woman before them with a hint of doubt. “Hazel p>
Black Jack nodded with a brilliant smile. “That’s me! You can just call me Hazel. I’m my darling Serena’s best friend, we grew up together p>
*Grew up together p>
A serious look settled on the Lancasters’ faces, and their gazes toward Black Jack became more intense.
What they had managed to find out about Serena’s past was incomplete, especially regarding the decade she spent in the countryside. The records were sparse, offering only a few lines: Serena’s report cards showing she was first in her grade in elementary school, then at the bottom of her class in middle school, and later got into fights, eventually being expelled in her second year of high school.
What happened in between was a complete blank.
Only after Serena arrived at the Wynn family did the information become more detailed, but those details… only showed them how humbly and pitifully Serena had lived.
A twenty-year-old girl should have been living a carefree life, innocent, lively, and charming like Brianna, enjoying her youth. But Serena was so mature and composed, seemingly capable of anything. Not only did she know how to do everything, but she could also perform at the highest level in any field, as if nothing could stump or defeat her.
To achieve such a level of competence, she must have endured immense hardship and suffering.
They wanted to ask, but they were afraid of making Serena relive painful memories. Now, a young woman had appeared who had grown up with their precious daughter, a best friend.
They could learn from her… a little about their daughter’s past.
Besides, this Black Jack was

strikingly beautiful. Catherine had a soft spot for pretty, sweet young women. She enthusiastically grabbed Black Jack’s hand and held it. So you’re Serena’s best frieger
friend!
Hello, hello, I’m Serena’s mother p>
The sudden warmth caught Black Jack off guard. She glanced down at her captured hand, then over at Serena.
Serena just smirked and tipped her chin, her expression clearly saying, *Don’t look at me p>
That was just her mother always this enthusiastic. Now that Black Jack was in Elyndor, she would have to get used to it. A few more times and it would feel normal.
Julian only glanced at Black Jack, gave a polite nod in greeting, and then his focus returned to Serena. He discreetly looked her over from head to toe, and only after confirming she was alright did he ask gently, “Are you finished with your business p>
“Yes,” Serena replied, meeting her brother’s concerned, gentle eyes. Her own eyes curved slightly. “It went smoothly p>
“Good.” Julian looked at his sister’s
sweet, innocent expression, but kis mind flashed back to the scene in
the hallway, where she, wearing high heels, had coolly and fiercely taken down five Norvane warriors
A pang of protectiveness hit him again. His sister was so gentle and sweet, yet
she’d been forced to become this tough.
Those Norvane people were truly despicable. As soon as the banquet was over, he would orchestrate a plan to plunge Norvane into an economic crisis.
