CHAPTER 6: CHAPTER 6: YOU TALK TOO MUCH, IT’S ANNOYING

When Grandma was still around, she always gazed at her with such love...

Serena Everett’s eyes softened, and she spoke gently, "It’s good that you’re okay."

Listen, this young girl not only looks like a fairy but also has such a pleasant voice!

Old Mrs. Quinn felt the more she looked at her, the more she liked her. She held her hand, reluctant to let go, wanting to chat a bit, but having just regained consciousness, her body was still weak. After saying a few words, she started gasping again.

The ambulance finally arrived. The doctor examined Old Mrs. Quinn and couldn’t help but marvel.

"The old lady isn’t in any major danger, but she still needs to go to the hospital for proper rest. The young girl did an excellent job with the first aid; otherwise, the old lady might have been in danger!"

Gratitude deepened in Old Mrs. Quinn’s eyes. She painstakingly took a jade pendant from her neck and placed it in Serena Everett’s hand.

"Good child, keep this. If you ever need anything, come find me..."

The jade pendant was warm and smooth, clearly no ordinary item.

Before Serena Everett could refuse, Old Mrs. Quinn was taken into the ambulance.

The onlookers, who were previously full of skepticism about Serena Everett, instantly gained newfound respect for her after witnessing this scene.

"Oh my, this young lady can actually practice medicine and saved the old lady just now. Truly amazing!"

"Yes, yes, at such a young age to have such remarkable medical skills. Truly outstanding!"

"Not only outstanding, but also exceptionally kind-hearted. If it weren’t for her, the old lady would have been in danger just now!"

Cassia Everett, emerging from the mall and hearing the crowd’s praises for Serena Everett, understood the situation, and she sneered disdainfully.

She refused to believe that Serena Everett, the country bumpkin returning from the countryside, knew anything about medicine. It was just blind luck, she thought.

She snorted coldly, speaking in a sarcastic tone, "Sister, you might not know this since you came from the countryside, but in Imperia, there are plenty of people who want to scam others. What’s more, our Everett Family is the richest in Imperia, with many jealous individuals. Don’t use your half-baked medical skills to cause trouble for our family!"

Every mention of "our family" clearly excluded Serena Everett from being part of the Everett Family.

Serena Everett’s delicate, porcelain-white face remained expressionless. She didn’t even bother to look at her and walked toward the mall with long strides.

Seeing Serena Everett dare to ignore her, Cassia Everett felt a surge of anger, "Serena Everett, did you hear me talking to you?!"

"Serena Everett, how dare you ignore me..."

"You talk too much."

Serena Everett stopped, her beautiful slanted fox-like eyes emitting a cold light, filling one with involuntary fear.

"Very noisy."

Just one glance made Cassia Everett feel a chill run from her feet to the top of her head, causing her to take an involuntary step back.

"Don’t bother me."

Seeing Cassia Everett retreat several steps in fear, Serena Everett tossed this remark and continued walking forward without pause.

After realizing what happened, Cassia Everett’s face turned even uglier, biting her lip with resentment.

Damn it, she was actually scared by this country bumpkin Serena Everett!

But, where did that jade pendant in Serena Everett’s hand come from?

At one look, it was clear it was a valuable item, and it would be great if she could get her hands on it...

Inside the store.

Ivan Everett and Jocelyn Sterling were escorted to try on dresses, and the sales assistant recognized Serena Everett as someone who had come along with Jocelyn Sterling earlier.

But seeing Serena Everett’s plain attire, they assumed she was just a poor relative tagging along with Jocelyn, and remembered Cassia Everett’s instructions.

Cassia Everett was the cherished Sixth Miss of the Everett Family, not someone they could afford to offend. If she instructed them to target Serena Everett, they naturally had to obey!

"Hey, what are you doing? Who let you in like this? Our store is high-end, who let a country bumpkin like you in here, dirtying our store!"

"We must thoroughly disinfect the store to avoid a stench of poverty."

As soon as she finished speaking, she curled her lips into a sinister smile and immediately grabbed disinfectant from the table to spray at Serena Everett’s eyes.

Serena Everett reacted quickly, grabbing the clerk’s wrist with a swift motion, catching her off guard. The disinfectant didn’t hit Serena Everett at all; instead, it sprayed all over the clerk’s face and eyes.

Her cold, elegant voice rang out slowly.

"Is it clean enough now?"

"Ah... it hurts..." The disinfectant was intensely irritating to the eyes and skin, causing the clerk to scream in pain, "My eyes hurt so much..."

Cassia Everett, who came in right afterward, saw the scene and her eyes grew even more sinister.

What a waste, she couldn’t even handle the simple task of targeting and making things difficult for Serena Everett!

"Sister, you’re so excessive, how could you spray disinfectant into her eyes?"

Cassia Everett’s voice was loud, and the commotion had already drawn a crowd. Hearing Cassia Everett’s words, they immediately began accusing Serena Everett.

"Yes, yes, a pretty young girl, how can she be so mean-hearted?"

"That’s right, spraying disinfectant in someone’s eyes, so mean!"

"Yes, yes, not just mean-hearted but lacking in manners..."

Hearing these demeaning words against Serena Everett, Cassia Everett couldn’t have been more pleased, a proud smile at the corners of her mouth.

The more fiercely they criticized, the better. She wanted Jocelyn Sterling and Ivan Everett to see that Serena Everett was just a country bumpkin, incomparable to her!

Seeing everyone on her side, the clerk shot a venomous glare at Serena Everett, wiped her tears, feigning grievance.

This only deepened the crowd’s sympathy for her and their discontent with Serena Everett.

Cassia Everett subtly smirked, immediately jumping in with a kind facade, "Sister, quickly tell everyone you’re sorry for what you did. Just sincerely apologize, and everyone will forgive you!"

Serena Everett raised those beautiful, slanted fox-like eyes, her voice indifferent, "Yes, I do regret it now."

Cassia Everett was waiting for this very phrase, her eyes filled with more pride. Having her apologize in front of everyone would be humiliating enough!

"Sister, knowing your fault and amending it is great. Now apologize to her and beg for her forgiveness..."

Cassia Everett hadn’t finished when Serena Everett cut her off impatiently, "I regret not spraying more, should’ve poured the entire bottle down her throat."

Such an arrogant tone.

The crowd was stunned, only recovering after a long pause, even more outraged.

"Simply beyond redemption!"

"Indeed, what well-bred child behaves like her!"

"So young, yet such a rotten heart!"
