Chapter 649
Her words were laced with deep sincerity, painting a perfect picture of a granddaughter entirely devoted to her grandmother’s well-being.
She was flawlessly sowing seeds of doubt about Serena in front of her grandparents, all while spotlighting her own filial devotion.
So what if Serena actually had some medical talent?
To her grandparents, Serena would never measure up to her!
But Kiera paused thoughtfully before speaking in a calm, gentle tone. “Your parents were surely present at the Blackwood family banquet. If they allowed Serena to treat Mr. Hank, then it proves that girl truly does have genuine skill p>
Isabella’s expression froze solid.
Her grandfather suddenly chimed in. “That’s enough, Isabella. We know you care about your grandmother, but don’t exhaust her with unnecessary panic. The girl she met today was undoubtedly a true miracle worker p>
Kiera smiled warmly. “Exactly. I know my own body best. Ever since that young girl treated me with those needles, I feel as if a weight has been lifted from my very soul p>
Holden nodded in agreement. “True masters of medicine aren’t bound by convention. Your grandmother’s breathing is perfectly steady, and she looks incredibly healthy. If we ever run into that brilliant girl again, we’ll have to thank her properly. I won’t tolerate any more talk of con artists p>
Isabella’s master plan to poison their opinion of Serena completely shattered.
She was absolutely furious.
Her grandparents, who had always doted on her and taken her side, had shut her down repeatedly today!
Yet, she had no choice but to force a brilliant smile and nod obediently. “As long as Grandma is okay, then my mind is at ease p>
“Speaking of which, why isn’t your youngest uncle here yet?” Kiera checked the time. “I reminded him a dozen times. This is his first time meeting his niece. How could he not show up p>
Grumbling, she pulled out her phone to dial her youngest son’s number, shaking her head in deep disappointment. “He’s always like this. I told him to come early, but he insisted he was busy. And he’s still nowhere to be seen p>
If he had come early like she asked p>
He might have even crossed paths with that brilliant Elyndor girl!
The girl was breathtakingly beautiful, and her personality and character were absolutely stellar.
Sure, she was a bit young-probably barely in her early twenties—but her youngest son was only twenty-six. They were hardly far apart in age!
If fate was on their side p>
She genuinely wanted that brilliant girl to join their family.
The more Kiera thought about the missed opportunity, the more devastated she felt. The call connected quickly.
A smooth, deeply resonant voice drifted through the speaker. “Mom, what’s wrong p>
In a secret underground base somewhere in the United Realmon States.
The atmosphere was suffocatingly oppressive, a bone-chilling aura sweeping through the room.
Rex sat in front of a wall of
surveillance monitors, radiating et
terrifying, dark pressure. His
blackeyes were locked,
intensely
onto the screens.
Dressed in a striking ruby-red suit, his strikingly handsome face carried an
undeniable, dangerous edge of wicked allure.
The security footage was paused on
the underground parking garage beneath their designated venue. Frozen on the screen was a woman wearing a silver mask, right after she had snatched the microchipand straddled a roaring red motorcycle.
Several terrified men cowered on the floor beside him, trembling violently.
They had exhausted every possible method and connection to track down the person who stole Rex’s chip, but every single lead had vanished into thin air.
Both the redhead and the woman in the silver mask seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth the moment they left that garage.
There wasn’t a single trace left behind.
Rex’s gaze was ice-cold. His long, slender fingers tapped rhythmically against the desktop.
Each quiet tap felt like a sledgehammer striking his subordinates’ racing hearts.
Right now his interest in retrieving the microchip was entirely eclipsed by his obsessive fascination with the
Sasked woman who had
actually possessed the sheer audacity to steal it from him.
