CHAPTER 104: CHAPTER 103: EVEN IF BORN, SHOULD HAVE BEEN STRANGLED

"Let her go, it’s not impossible!"

Serena Sullivan calmed herself, turned to look at Claire Sullivan, and spoke.

Having heard Ethan Grant’s arrogant declaration in the restaurant corridor about wanting to sleep with her, she knew Zoe Quinn and her group were trying to ruin her in another way.

Ethan suddenly left Solaria and proposed to give her bodyguards, but she refused.

It wasn’t because she was sulking, but because she wanted to give Zoe Quinn a chance.

First, Claire Sullivan made the first move. When she couldn’t persuade her, Zoe Quinn was bound to come knocking, and by then, Finn Chandler would have returned to Solaria.

Ironically, the hotel where they held their banquet belonged to Finn.

In the open and covert, they watched coldly as Zoe Quinn orchestrated a grand "catching the adulterer" scene. Only when Ethan Grant turned against her and Zoe Quinn ended up in the police station did the play’s first act conclude halfway.

The second act?

Ethan Grant’s return was not part of their plan, and his defense was beyond her expectations.

She didn’t really want to send Zoe Quinn to the police; Joel Quinn was cunning, and even if she sent her to Ethan Grant, there wouldn’t be any leverage left. Ethan Grant’s testimony couldn’t convict Zoe Quinn.

Now wasn’t the time for a full counterattack against Zoe Quinn and her father.

"What do you want!"

After all, they were mother and daughter. As soon as Serena spoke, Claire Sullivan realized her intention.

Serena smiled lightly, and Ethan Grant voluntarily stepped back behind her. Though he didn’t speak, standing there with a determined look controlled the room’s atmosphere, providing Serena with a strong support.

"First!"

Serena’s gaze towards Claire Sullivan turned cold, pausing briefly before her voice came out sharp and chilling.

"You and I will have no relationship in the future."

What!

Claire Sullivan was shocked, with Zoe Quinn accusingly exclaiming, "Sister, are you going to sever your mother-daughter relationship with Mom?"

Compared to them, both Anna Morgan, Finn Chandler, and Ethan Grant seemed very calm.

They seemed to have known about Serena’s announcement long before.

"Serena!"

Claire Sullivan trembled as she called out, guessing what came next, and asked angrily, "You planned this."

Serena deliberately put Zoe in the police station, knowing they would come to plead with her, and intentionally asked for such conditions.

"How could I have given birth to someone like you!"

Her voice shrill, suppressing her rage, she shouted as her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

She only had this daughter, having gone through so much to give birth, and now she talked about severing their mother-daughter bond!

Indeed, just like that man—heartless, unemotional!

"I also wonder how I could have a mother like you!"

Serena retorted.

For four years, she waited every day and every night, hoping for a call from Claire Sullivan, wishing she would show some concern, which would bring some comfort.

However, Claire Sullivan was obsessed, pampering Zoe Quinn, trusting only Joel Quinn.

Her heart grew colder and colder until even the residual warmth was worn away.

Joel Quinn, standing nearby, frowned and advised, "Claire, calm down."

If Serena cuts ties with Claire Sullivan...

"Fine!"

In anger, Claire Sullivan shouted harshly, "I shouldn’t have given birth to you back then and should have aborted you."

Even if she was born, she should have been killed.

Anyway, she had Zoe; whether she needed this daughter or not was irrelevant.

"The second thing..."
