CHAPTER 44: CHAPTER 44: TRULY A LITTLE INGRATE...

Cassia Everett’s smile froze on her face, clearly not expecting that they didn’t scold Serena even once, but instead came to blame her!

They had said they wouldn’t play favorites, but now it’s obvious they’re biased beyond belief!

Cassia seethed with anger inside, but outwardly she displayed an innocent and kind demeanor, "Uncle, Aunt, it’s all my fault for saying the wrong thing. You’re right to scold me, but I was just concerned for my sister..."

Sure enough, Jocelyn and Ivan’s serious expressions immediately softened.

"Cassia, we know you’re also concerned about Serena. We’re not blaming you, just reminding you! Alright, alright, everyone sit down and eat, otherwise, the food will get cold."

Cassia’s pure face broke into a sweet smile, looking harmless, "Okay, I’ll remember it in the future and won’t say the wrong thing again!"

Seeing her like this, Jocelyn and Ivan looked at her with even more kindness, "What a good child, we’re so lucky to have daughters like you and Serena!"

Upon hearing this, Serena lazily lifted her stunning foxy eyes and glanced at Cassia, who was filled with an icy look, and sneered.

"Serena, eat more, you’re too thin!" Jocelyn tenderly added some food to Serena’s plate, not forgetting Cassia, "Cassia, you eat more too, these are all your favorites!"

"Aunt, I have a Director Farber’s audition tomorrow, so I can’t eat too much. It’s better if sister has it all!" Cassia said shyly, "If I pass the audition tomorrow, I can enter the entertainment industry and become a star. Uncle, Aunt, you’ll support me, right?"

She said this to imply to Jocelyn and Ivan that the entertainment industry is tough, and it’s all about the money.

"Don’t worry, Cassia, we will definitely support you!"

Hearing this, Cassia smiled contentedly. With the Everett Family’s support, her path in the entertainment industry would be smooth sailing!

"Serena, do you want to be a big star?" Ivan turned to her, "If you want, Dad will buy a management company right away and make them promote you!"

Jocelyn immediately nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, Mom can also ask your fourth brother to boost your popularity. Your fourth brother is quite famous in the entertainment industry; he can take the hits while you take the praises!"

Seeing how eager they were, Serena was a bit helpless and tugged at her red lips, "I don’t want to."

"You don’t want to... Well, it doesn’t matter. Serena, you’re our precious daughter. You can do whatever you want as long as you’re happy!"

Serena had suffered outside for eighteen years, and now they just wanted to let it go and treat her as well as possible!

Hearing Jocelyn and Ivan’s slightly regretful tone, Cassia nearly exploded in anger.

Why is it that if Serena wants to enter the entertainment industry, they’d plan to directly buy a management company to sign and promote her?

And get our fourth brother, a top star, to boost that wretched Serena?

But when it comes to her, it’s just a word of support. Cassia’s resentment grew even deeper.

Thankfully, Serena, the country bumpkin, had no sense at all and even refused to enter the entertainment industry?

So stupid!

After dinner, Serena returned to her room and continued working on the Spirit Revitalizing Pill when she received a call from Jude Ford.

His excited voice came from the other end.

"Boss, someone just placed an order on the dark web, wanting you to take a job for heart disease treatment, offering two billion!"

Two billion?

Serena’s delicate brows lazily arched, just in time to earn back the two billion she had recently invested in the research institute.

She was about to agree when she heard Jude’s voice again.

"But the order is from the Quinn Family..."

"The Quinn Family, huh?" Thinking of the previous issues, Serena’s rosy, moist lips curled coldly, exuding a chill, "Double the price, and once they agree, refuse their order!"

Hearing this, Jude couldn’t help but give Serena a thumbs up over the phone.

Oh my god, the boss is really too bold. The Quinn Family is like a dominant force in Imperia, and no one has ever dared to treat them like this!

But it really was satisfying!

"Okay, boss, I’ll handle it on the dark web."

"Mm."

Serena lazily answered and hung up the phone, continuing to work on the Spirit Revitalizing Pill.

Although the Quinn Family’s offer was indeed high, she’s a person who bears grudges, and they must pay the price for offending her.

As for money, she could just take a few more orders to make up for it!

...

Quinn Family.

"Master Damian... The Phantom Hand’s response is that they require a doubled price before they’re willing to take our order."

Upon hearing this, the man sitting in the main seat crushed out his cigarette. His extraordinarily handsome yet sinister face was icy and intimidating.

He didn’t speak, but the oppressive atmosphere around him grew even heavier.

"Master Damian, the price we offered is already several times higher than others, yet the Phantom Hand wants to double it even more. It’s completely greedy!" Chase Sherman couldn’t help but complain.

The Phantom Hand is indeed impressive, said to be able to bring back the dead and heal bones. As long as the patient has a breath left, they can snatch them back from King Yama.

But this all sounds dubious, probably just rumors, yet they’re daring to ask for forty billion, it’s truly greedy!

Damian Quinn understood the implication, his voice was cold, "Double then, but if they can’t heal Grandma, they won’t get a dime."

Just got news, the Thousand Spirit Ginseng is being transported to Imperia. Once seized and combined with The Phantom Hand’s treatment, Grandma’s heart disease could be completely cured.

"Yes, Master Damian, I’ll get on it..."

But soon, Chase returned with a grim face, "Master Damian, I just agreed to double the fee with The Phantom Hand, but they then said they’re not taking our order and told us to get lost..."

They’re obviously toying with us!

Upon hearing this, Damian Quinn’s narrow, deep peach blossom eyes squinted, exuding a dangerous aura, with a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his gaze.

"Since money can’t persuade, then track them down and capture them alive. If even after being captured they’re still not compliant, throw them into The Black Vault to learn some manners."

Knowing he was genuinely angry, Chase dared not delay and immediately answered reverently.

"Yes, Master Damian!"

Damian Quinn’s entire being exuded a terrifying aura, but it gradually dissipated after seeing the chat records with Serena.

Still hasn’t replied, what a little ingrate...
