Chapter 179: Chapter 179: The Little Cabbage Was Rooted by the Pig

What’s so good about this man?

Besides having a face that’s easy on the eyes, what else does Serena Summers rely on him for?

Vincent Carter felt incredibly stifled.

The little bok choy he had raised for over a decade, just taken away by a pig?

And a wild pig whose origins he didn’t even know!

Vincent Carter breathed rapidly, too angry to speak.

He raised his hand to cover his chest tightly, his finger trembling slightly as he pointed at Lucas Shaw, unable to utter a word for a long time.

"Who... who are you exactly? When did you meet? Are you married, do you have a house and car? How much wealth do you have in your family? Can you provide happiness for our Serena? Can you afford to take care of our Serena?"

One question after another confused everyone present, including Lucas Shaw.

His brows furrowed slightly, not understanding why Vincent Carter was so agitated.

But from his tone, it seemed he knew Serena.

"And you, what’s your relationship with Serena?"

Lucas Shaw’s voice was deep, and his aura not only didn’t weaken but grew even stronger.

It was awe-inspiring.

Vincent Carter: "I asked you first, you answer my questions first."

"Director Carter, this is my second brother, Lucas Shaw. He’s the heir to the Shaw Group, so he definitely has a house and car. You can rest assured, my brother will definitely make my sister-in-law happy!"

Adrian Shaw could tell something was off with Vincent Carter’s attitude towards Serena Summers, but he quickly responded.

Vincent Carter’s attitude clearly showed that he knew Serena Summers.

No matter what their relationship was, it was most important to clarify his stance.

If this was about a rival in love, the statement was a clear warning: you have no chance. Serena will only ever be his brother’s wife.

The Shaw family... except for his bothersome father, Vincent Shaw, could only be with one woman for life, till the end.

In other words, Serena could only be Lucas Shaw’s wife in this lifetime.

"Shaw Group?"

Another bolt of shock exploded in Vincent Carter’s mind, questioning what he heard with some uncertainty.

"Yes, he is my second brother, for real." Adrian Shaw said with a smile.

Vincent Carter took several deep breaths to calm himself down.

He glanced at the onlookers around him, took a step back to clear the way, "Let’s go inside to talk. The torrential rain hasn’t ended yet, we need to leave here soon, other matters..."

Vincent Carter glanced at Serena Summers sleeping soundly in Lucas Shaw’s arms, nearly choked, "Other matters, we can discuss later."

He needed to go back and ask Edward Selwyn why he suddenly married off Serena Summers.

The brothers had long agreed that they would carefully choose the most deserving man for Serena to entrust her life to.

Unexpectedly, Edward Selwyn took advantage of his and the third brother’s absence to marry off Serena.

Absolutely... infuriating!

What he didn’t know was, Edward Selwyn had no hand in Serena’s marriage.

Everything was entirely Serena’s own idea.

Serena Summers woke up to find herself in a strange room.

Judging from the surroundings and the overall arrangement, it must be a hotel room, but it was far from a five-star standard.

Serena Summers rubbed her eyes and yawned delicately.

Suddenly a deep and magnetic voice rang in her ears, "Awake?"

Serena Summers turned her gaze and saw Lucas Shaw sitting on a sofa nearby, already changed into fresh clothes.

"Husband."

She reached out with open arms.

Lucas Shaw’s eyes flashed a hint of helplessness as he slowly rose from his chair and walked to the bedside to sit down, bending over and opening his arms to embrace Serena Summers into his chest.

The girl’s figure was petite and soft, fitting perfectly in his embrace.

He gently rubbed his chin against the top of Serena’s head, "Have you slept enough?"

"Mhm." Serena was full of energy, but suddenly her stomach rumbled loudly.

In the spacious room, the sound was especially clear.

Realizing the noise was coming from her own stomach, Serena’s face immediately flushed with embarrassment, guiltily covering her belly.

Her clear eyes darted about, clearly trying to cover her embarrassment.

Lucas Shaw chuckled softly, reaching out to touch her slightly frail face, "Hungry? I’ll have someone bring food right away."

Serena’s cheeks were tinged with red, slightly embarrassed.

She couldn’t believe she had let herself go in front of Lucas Shaw... But then she thought, the man in front of her was her own husband, so what did it matter?

No matter how many small flaws she had, that was a fact that would never change.

With that thought, Serena stopped worrying and became resolute.

Soon, the hotel staff brought dinner.

There had been a continuous downpour for several days, and many supplies couldn’t be delivered, so many dishes were no longer available.

Lucas Shaw looked at the overly simple meal on the plate, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

Lucas Shaw had always lived in the Shaw Family since he was a child, aside from when he was taken away for experiments as a child, his meals were always meticulously crafted by top chefs, nutritious and beautifully presented.

But these dishes in front of him... they were clearly nothing like that.

However, Serena wasn’t picky and directly started eating with her chopsticks.

Although not very delicious, it was enough to fill her stomach.

Serena squinted her eyes, chewing contentedly while swinging her feet, a satisfied expression on her face.

Seeing this, Lucas Shaw slightly relaxed, but his heart ached even more.

His Serena deserved the best in the world, yet he couldn’t even provide her a decent meal.

Outside the window, the storm was relentless, with heavy rain lashing against the windows, accompanied by strong winds, thunder, and lightning, making it exceptionally terrifying.

In weather like this, it was impossible to go out.

At this moment, in the only hospital in Prosperity Hill Town.

Crystal Harper was being carried by the medical staff into the emergency room.

Her leg injury was severe, and she looked pale and weak, breathing faintly as if she might stop breathing at any second.

Her agent, Sister Grace, stayed by her side the entire time, holding her hand and continuously comforting her.

She watched helplessly as the doors to the emergency room closed, her heart tightened, staring unblinkingly at the firmly shut door.

She paced back and forth in the corridor, her face filled with anxiety and panic.

If something truly happened to Crystal Harper, she would never forgive herself.

As time slowly passed, the doors to the emergency room remained tightly shut, with no one coming out.

Sister Grace crouched in the corner against the cold wall, her hands holding her head, tears flowing uncontrollably down her face.

"Oh God, please... You must protect Crystal!"

Crystal, please don’t let anything happen to you.

I beg you.

In the corridor, passing doctors continuously cast glances at Sister Grace, some showing surprise while others were accustomed to such sights.

Hospitals often see patients and relatives holding their heads in pain.

But Sister Grace’s face was somewhat familiar, so it caught the attention of many.

However, Sister Grace was just an agent, and not very well-known in the industry, so not many people recognized her.
