CHAPTER 197: CHAPTER 196: THE PERSON WHO HURT HER MOST WAS HIM

Smelling the aroma, Serena Sullivan’s stomach rumbled with hunger. She picked up her chopsticks to taste and found the flavor acceptable. "Did you make this?"

"Mm!" Ethan Grant was watching her expectantly, and seeing her take a bite, he smiled in response.

Serena looked at him with doubt, then glanced at the noodles in her bowl. Was it really Young Master Ethan Grant who made this?

In her memory, Ethan Grant was the type of young master who wouldn’t touch spring water with his ten fingers, an arrogant cool guy from The Grant Family.

The Grant Family held high status in Solaria, and as the eldest young master, he was very proud, boasting about the family and Mr. Grant Senior.

Before meeting him in person, Serena had already heard all about how rotten Young Master Ethan was!

Fighting, skipping classes, flirting with girls—he was nothing but trash.

As she entered high school, somehow she caught this young master’s attention. Young Master Ethan, who was two grades above her, clung to her, claiming she was his.

Serena’s impression of him was really poor. Even though his face was nice, she wasn’t interested.

He pursued her relentlessly, waiting at the school gate every day after classes, helping carry her backpack, trailing behind her while calling her "Serena, Serena."

The calling annoyed Serena, to the point where one day she lost her temper and gave him a kick.

After she’d kicked him, Young Master Ethan wasn’t upset. Instead, he shamelessly got closer and asked if she felt better.

She was truly speechless! At the time, she wondered if he was just being shameless? Why was he stuck to her like a little dog?

When did she start to change her opinion of him, and when did she start to like him?

It was when she had provoked the school bully, and he stood in front of her, helping her in the fight.

"She’s my woman. If you want to hit her, get past me first!"

He really got beaten down.

But he learned martial arts, boxing, and began studying seriously for her sake. In no time at all, he had unknowingly been by her side for a long time and really held her in his embrace, not letting anyone bully her.

Just that, in the end, the person who bullied her the worst was him!

Hospital

Claire Sullivan and Zoe Quinn rushed over as soon as they got the call. Joel Quinn was perfectly fine when he left home this morning; how did his hand end up smashed within half an hour?

Claire Sullivan looked at Joel Quinn, who was sweating profusely from pain. She wanted to call the police, but Joel Quinn, enduring the pain, refused to let her.

This situation felt very wrong to Claire Sullivan.

Claire Sullivan returned after paying the hospital bills and encountered Ruth Hale.

"Claire, what’s going on?"

Ruth Hale, having received Zoe Quinn’s text message, hurried over and, without waiting for Claire’s response, angrily questioned her, "How could you take care of Joel so poorly, letting him get so seriously hurt!"

This sentence...

Worried about Joel Quinn, Claire Sullivan didn’t pick up on the oddity in her tone.

"Joel was surrounded by several cars on his way to work; they smashed the window and dragged him out."

"They’re really lawless."

"Did you call the police?"

"No!" Ruth Hale became furious; she’d already been upset over Serena Sullivan the last couple of days. Hearing about Joel’s injury, she was both anxious and angry, directing all her negative emotions at Claire Sullivan.

"Something so major happened, and you didn’t even call the police!"
