Chapter 118: Chapter 118 Lucas Shaw’s Childhood Sweetheart

Liam Shaw’s hand paused slightly as he dialed, and he couldn’t help but let out a helpless chuckle.

"Okay, I’ll listen to you."

Since Serena Summers was the one who researched the sample data, it was only natural that she should be the one to tell Lucas Shaw about it.

Serena Summers organized all the data into a file and placed it in a folder, ready to take away.

The experiment was already completed.

She was somewhat worried about leaving these data in the laboratory.

When she left, the other four were still busy.

Serena Summers said goodbye to them with a smile.

"You’re just going to leave like this? Will you still come back later?"

The first to speak was Charlotte Summers.

Ever since shopping together with Serena Summers that time, Charlotte’s view of Serena had greatly improved.

Even though she used to target Serena, the thought of Serena leaving made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

Looking at her reluctant demeanor, Serena Summers found it somewhat amusing, but also felt an indescribable sense of emotion.

Hearing this, Sean Wynn and Emily Green also looked up.

"Serena, you’re leaving? I haven’t even started apprenticing under you yet, how can you just leave?" Sean Wynn’s face showed reluctance.

Serena Summers sighed helplessly, "Who told you I was leaving? Although the experiment is completed, I’ve really enjoyed the time I spent doing research with you all."

After a pause, Serena Summers said somberly: "So I’ve decided to officially join you."

"Really?"

Liam nodded, "It’s true. Once Serena completely cures Lucas’s poison, she will join our research institute officially."

Serena had already promised Liam that she would stand with them side by side in battle.

Charlotte Summers cried out in excitement, immediately rushing up to hug Serena.

Serena Summers was caught off guard, staggered two steps backward, and then barely managed to steady herself.

She patted Charlotte on the back helplessly, saying, "From now on, we are official partners, please take good care of me."

Looking at Serena Summers’ delicate and exquisite face, Charlotte couldn’t help but blush.

Despite having been together for more than two months, Charlotte was still dazzled by Serena’s beauty.

Serena Summers had fair and tender skin, without a single flaw.

Even Charlotte, a woman herself, felt envy.

"Now that we’re colleagues, hurry up and share all your skincare products! You can’t keep them just for yourself!"

Serena Summers blinked in surprise, her innocent large eyes wide: "My skincare products... might be a bit pricey. But I haven’t used them much."

"Not used them much? How is that possible?" Charlotte’s eyes were full of disbelief.

How could someone not use skincare products and still maintain such moist skin?

That was just unimaginable.

"It’s probably because I lived in the mountains for many years before," Serena explained helplessly.

Her master was very focused on health preservation.

Moreover, the water quality in the mountains was very clear and unpolluted, so her complexion looked quite good.

Charlotte Summers was speechless, "Is that what you call ’quite good’? Yours is extraordinarily good, okay? I’d thank the heavens if my skin were half as good as yours."

She seriously suspected Serena Summers was being humble-brag, but she had no proof.

"Your skin doesn’t have any major issues in itself, just some hormonal imbalance, making it prone to acne. You must stay up late every night, right?"

Charlotte Summers’ eyes widened in surprise, "How did you know?"

Serena Summers just smiled, without saying a word.

Charlotte somehow felt a slight disdain from her.

Oh, that’s right.

Serena Summers’ expertise was in traditional Chinese medicine, so it wasn’t strange for her to notice these things.

"If you want to improve your skin, you could try the medicated cosmetic brand under Horizon Group."

As Serena spoke, she felt somewhat embarrassed.

After all, promoting her own brand always felt a bit self-serving.

But Serena knew the skincare products she researched were the most effective.

They were definitely better than most of the skincare products on the market.

"I do want to buy, but I simply can’t get my hands on it," Charlotte Summers said dejectedly, her eyes drooping.

"Why?" Serena Summers asked, puzzled.

"Silly girl, Horizon Group’s skincare products are of good quality and affordably priced, naturally becoming the object of public frenzy," Emily Green explained in a low voice.

Horizon Group’s skincare products have always been in short supply.

Every time a new product is launched, it sells out within three minutes.

Such a track record is almost unprecedented.

"Some time ago, my sister wanted to buy an acne-removing mask, and she sat in front of her phone half an hour early, only to find it sold out in a second," Sean Wynn added.

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Serena wondered incredulously.

"Of course!" Charlotte nodded vigorously, and suddenly, as if remembering something, she grabbed Serena’s hand with excitement.

"Serena, Serena... Sister Serena! Please, help me..."

How come she never thought of it before?

Serena is Edward Selwyn’s junior sister.

His real junior sister!

So the big shot has been right by my side!

Watching Charlotte’s expectant look, Serena couldn’t help but laugh a little.

"I can try, but I can’t guarantee anything!"

Charlotte hadn’t made her relationship with Edward public.

Just because of that, Serena felt a bit more favorable toward her.

Receiving Serena’s response, Charlotte gave a grateful smile.

To the interaction between the two, the others were completely baffled.

Sean wrinkled his brows and asked, "Emily, what exactly are they talking about?"

Emily Green: "I don’t quite understand either. Could this be the so-called generation gap?"

Liam Shaw: "..."

Sean Wynn: "..."

Well, looks like they’re indeed getting old!

Returning to the Shaw Family residence, Serena suddenly noticed that the atmosphere was somewhat unusual.

The servants looked at her with strange glances.

Those looks made Serena feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

Entering the living room, she noticed Elena Ryan and Clara Shaw sitting on the couch.

Beside them sat a young woman in her twenties.

The woman had delicate features and a lovely face.

She was wearing a simple, plain white dress that accentuated her delicate and soft demeanor.

At the moment, she was frowning, and between her brows seemed to linger an inconsolable sorrow, evoking pity.

Serena just glanced at her briefly before looking away.

Wherever Elena Ryan and Clara Shaw were, Serena would avoid them as much as she could.

However, just as she was about to go upstairs, the woman suddenly stood up from the couch.

"Are you Serena Summers?"

Serena paused her steps and turned her head quizzically.

"Who are you?"

The woman slowly revealed a tender smile and reached out her hand toward Serena, "Hello, I’m Sylvia Lane, you must have heard of me, I presume."

"Who are you? Why should I have definitely heard about you?"

Serena found it a bit absurd.

Why did this woman assume that she would definitely know her name?

Despite Sylvia Lane’s gentle and polite demeanor, Serena still sensed the hostility and scrutiny in her eyes.

Serena did not like being stared at with such a gaze and frowned unhappily.

Sylvia Lane was taken aback, not expecting Serena’s response to be so cold.

She stiffly forced a smile and said, "Miss Summers really has a sense of humor. Well then, let me reintroduce myself. I’ve grown up with Brother Lucas since we were children, childhood sweethearts."
