Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Second Senior Brother

"Okay." Serena Summers hugged Lucas Shaw back, earnestly promising, "Actually, the reason I’m here is because there’s someone very important to me here."

Lucas Shaw’s eyes flickered slightly.

An important person?

How come he didn’t know that besides him, Serena had anyone else important?

For some reason, the handsome and stately face of Vincent Carter suddenly appeared in Lucas Shaw’s mind.

A foreboding feeling unexpectedly surged in his heart.

His eyelids violently twitched as he asked, "Are you talking about that director?"

"How did you know?" Serena Summers widened her eyes in surprise, looking up at him.

Lucas Shaw scoffed internally, yet his expression remained unchanged, "Because your husband has the ability to foresee the future."

Serena Summers was amused by Lucas Shaw’s serious yet joking demeanor, and she pushed his shoulder lightly, "Husband, so how did you really find out?"

Lucas Shaw looked down, met Serena’s gaze briefly, then shifted his eyes away subtly, "...I guessed."

When Serena was sleeping, Vincent Carter’s attitude was clearly off.

He was overly anxious about Serena.

That wasn’t the way a stranger or a mere friend would react.

So at that time, Lucas Shaw had his suspicions.

Though he didn’t want to admit it, Serena definitely came here because of that other man.

At that moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door from outside.

"Serena, are you there?"

Outside, the voice of Vincent Carter came in.

Serena’s eyes brightened, and she immediately got out of Lucas Shaw’s embrace, ready to get out of bed to open the door.

Lucas Shaw narrowed his deep-set eyes and licked his back molars in irritation, a sense of crisis building inside him.

He reached out to hold Serena’s shoulder and stood up, "You just lie down properly, I’ll go."

Serena looked blankly at Lucas Shaw’s retreating figure.

Why did she feel like Lucas Shaw was angry?

Could it be an illusion?

She slowly shook her head, tossing the thoughts out of her mind, and her eyes intensely focused towards the door.

Lucas Shaw opened the door, and Vincent Carter immediately rushed in, "Serena, how are you? Are you hurt? Let me take a good look."

Watching Vincent Carter’s concerned expression, a warm current crossed Serena’s heart, and she smiled lightly while waving her hand, "I’m fine, I just accidentally fell asleep."

Lucas Shaw’s chest was too warm, indescribably comforting, and she had unknowingly fallen asleep.

When she awoke, she found herself in the hotel room.

"It’s good you’re fine, it’s good you’re fine, if anything had happened to you, Edward Selwyn would definitely not let me off."

He wouldn’t let himself off either.

Vincent Carter added in his heart.

"Cough cough..."

Suddenly, a soft cough came from behind, and Vincent Carter turned his head to find Lucas Shaw standing there.

"Serena, aren’t you going to introduce us? Who is this gentleman?" Lucas Shaw’s expression was calm, his face cold, with a faint smile playing at his lips.

Yet the words he spoke carried an indescribable sour taste.

Serena immediately laughed and introduced, "This is Vincent Carter, my senior from school, a very famous director in the country."

"Senior brother, this is my husband, Lucas Shaw." While introducing Lucas Shaw, Serena’s cheeks slowly tinted with a blush.

Her sparkling almond eyes shimmered with radiant light, brilliant and captivating, making it hard to look away.

"Senior brother?" Lucas Shaw quirked an eyebrow, his thin lips parting slightly as he carefully savored this title.

He couldn’t help but let out a light laugh.

It was his second senior brother after all, he had been overthinking.

He even thought he had another rival in love.

Vincent Carter was also stunned.

Even though Adrian Shaw had mentioned before that Serena Summers married Lucas Shaw, Vincent Carter has always been skeptical.

His adorable and innocent little junior sister, who is still so young, how could she be married?

And here he is, her second senior brother, still single!!!

Vincent Carter glanced at Serena Summers and then at Lucas Shaw, before leaning close to Serena, whispering softly, "Serena, maybe you should think it over again. I have quite a few talented young men around me... Although Mr. Shaw is also outstanding, he isn’t the right one for you."

Despite being in the entertainment industry, he had heard of Lucas Shaw’s reputation long ago.

Rumors had it that Lucas Shaw took over the Shaw Group at eighteen and saved the then perilous Shaw Group with thunderous measures, slapping the faces of all dissenting shareholders.

Since then, Lucas Shaw created one business legend after another.

He was even more formidable than his elder senior brother, Edward Selwyn.

Edward Selwyn’s achievements today couldn’t be separated from the help of Serena Summers.

Yet, Lucas Shaw single-handedly not only recovered the losses of Prosperity Group but also increased the company’s market value more than tenfold.

In the business circle, he was almost like a god.

Such a person, whether in means or scheming, was something that Serena Summers, a girl pampered by them, could not compare with.

He worried that Serena would suffer, would be wronged.

His Serena, so pure, he didn’t want to see her get hurt even a little bit.

Even Edward Selwyn, how could he not stop her a bit?

In the heat of passionate love, Serena could easily be blinded by impulse, and if it ever hurt Serena in the future, it would be too late to say anything.

At this moment, far away in S City, Edward Selwyn was in a meeting room, summoning his subordinates for a meeting.

Suddenly, he felt ticklish at the tip of his nose and suddenly sneezed.

The employee who was presenting the PowerPoint froze, his mind went blank for a moment, suddenly forgetting what he was about to say next.

Edward Selwyn frowned slightly, but his expression was unchanged.

He lifted his eyes, his cold gaze swept over that person, "Continue."

That person met Edward Selwyn’s eyes, his shoulders trembled suddenly, and he immediately continued with his speech in a faltering manner.

At Prosperity Hill Hotel.

Serena Summers took Lucas Shaw’s hand, looking up with clear and determined eyes, "Second senior brother, no one forced me. Choosing him was the right choice I made, following my heart."

Vincent Carter laughed in disbelief, "Right? At such a young age, inexperienced in life, what do you know about right?"

"Second senior brother, I’m not young anymore. I am already twenty years old, I’ve reached the legal marriage age of our country." Serena Summers pouted discontentedly, not liking being treated as a child.

Lucas Shaw’s eyes lingered on the hand tightly held with Serena’s, his lips slightly curving up.

The undisguised preference and trust from Serena Summers brought a touch of warmth in Lucas Shaw’s heart.

He slowly raised his eyes, the typically cold and sharp gaze now became much softer, "Second senior brother, I promise I will always treat Serena well, with undivided affection."

"Do you think I would believe that? Lucas Shaw, if I’m not mistaken, wasn’t it just yesterday your father was on the trending news accompanying a supermodel into the hotel? It seems like your father also swore before, that he only loved your mother for his entire life."

Vincent Carter, being in the entertainment circle, often heard various gossips within the circle.

Moreover, Vincent Shaw, over twenty years ago, was also a business prodigy like Lucas Shaw.

He and Elena Ryan were the envy of everyone.

Just a few years later, Vincent Shaw seemed like a completely changed person, giving up the inheritance rights to the Shaw Group and leading a life of luxury and indulgence.

Over the years, the number of women involved in scandals with Vincent Shaw was countless.

Given this precedent, the assurance from Lucas Shaw now seemed like a joke.
