Chapter 211: Chapter 211 It’s Time to Be Her Man

Mrs. Summers in S city was equally frustrated.

She was so infuriated by what Serena had said that she wanted to call her back but found she couldn’t get through to Serena’s phone at all.

Furious, she threw her phone aside, feeling as if something was congesting her chest, making it hard to breathe.

As she went downstairs, she encountered Grace, and suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt.

Grace approached her tentatively, asking, "Mom, did you really call Serena? What did she say?"

"What else could she say? She’s an ungrateful wretch who doesn’t even recognize her own mother! Absolutely abominable!" Mrs. Summers said, her chest heaving with anger.

Grace’s eyes flickered, and she slowly moved closer, patting her mother’s back gently, "Mom, don’t worry for now, maybe... Serena didn’t do it on purpose. She’s probably just still furious."

"Her furious? After she treated you like that, she still has the cheek to be mad?" Mrs. Summers scoffed, grabbing Grace’s hand, feeling a twinge of guilt, "Grace, I’m sorry for letting you down, I couldn’t help you."

"Mom, just standing up for me has already made me so happy, truly!" Grace blinked, tears instantly welling up in her eyes.

Seeing this, Mrs. Summers felt even more heartache.

She embraced Grace, comforting her gently, "Grace, don’t worry, I will definitely find a way for you. But...it’s just that Serena is now so arrogant because of the Shaw Family’s backing; I can’t think of a good solution."

Grace’s eyes shimmered, a crazy thought growing in her mind.

She nodded, then echoed, "Yes, Serena can only be so arrogant because she has the Shaw Family, and Lucas behind her. Without Lucas supporting her, she wouldn’t dare frame me again."

Serena can be so righteous only because she has Lucas’s affection!

Without Lucas, she would be nothing!

A man of Lucas’s distinguished status, good looks, and wealth should be hers!

Does Serena even deserve him?

"You’re right! But, the marriage between Serena and the Shaw Family, it’s just a transaction after all. If we break their relationship, will it affect the Summers Family?" Mrs. Summers turned her head to Grace, confusion in her eyes.

"What if their relationship falls apart due to their feelings not aligning, and they can’t end up together?" A gleam of cunning flickered in Grace’s eyes.

If their relationship breaks down, then it can’t be blamed on others, and the Summers Family won’t be affected.

Mrs. Summers didn’t quite understand the implication.

Seeing the bewildered look in Mrs. Summers’ eyes, Grace felt a hint of contempt.

Her mother was good in everything, just a bit brainless. With just a little provocation, she could be easily manipulated.

But that was fine; if Mrs. Summers were too clever, there would be no role for her.

Grace lowered her eyes, concealing the expression in them, then adjusted her clothes and demeanor, asking Mrs. Summers, "Mom, what do you think about my looks?"

Mrs. Summers hesitated for a moment, her gaze immediately softening, "My daughter is, of course, the most beautiful."

A hint of triumph crossed Grace’s heart, and she probed further, "Then, how do I compare to Serena?"

Mrs. Summers froze; to tell the truth, Grace’s appearance could only be considered cute, naturally not as exquisite and beautiful as Serena, not even close by a hundredfold.

But, how could she bear to let her beloved daughter feel hurt?

So, she gritted her teeth and somewhat guiltily praised, "Of course, you’re prettier. Otherwise, Everett wouldn’t have given up Serena for you."

Upon hearing Everett’s name, Grace’s face stiffened for a moment, a pang of hurt crossing her heart, quickly replaced by pride.

She leaned closer to Mrs. Summers, lowering her voice near her ear, "Mom, do you think if Lucas fell for me, he would kick Serena to the curb?"

"But, I’ve heard that Lucas is aloof and not interested in women..." Mrs. Summers hesitated, furrowing her brows.

Grace was getting impatient with the questioning, but still explained patiently, "If Serena can do it, why can’t I? Even if we can’t handle Lucas Shaw directly, we can start from Serena. Find a man for her, let Lucas Shaw catch her cheating, and I don’t believe the Shaw Family can swallow this indignity."

Mrs. Summers hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted her teeth and agreed to Grace’s proposal.

Since Serena is heartless, they can’t be blamed for being ruthless!

With Mrs. Summers’s approval, and where no one could see, Grace raised a triumphant smile.

She stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Summers, "Mom, thank you so much, you are really good to me... Being your daughter is the greatest blessing of my life."

This time, she was determined to bring down that bitch Serena, to forever trample her underfoot, and make sure she never rises again!

Hearing this, Mrs. Summers nearly shed tears.

She hugged Grace back, deeply moved, "Silly child, this is all a mother should do."

Lucas Shaw and Serena had no idea that someone was plotting against them, trying to undermine their marriage.

Serena quickly forgot that Mrs. Summers had called.

The hospital called to report that a cardiothoracic surgeon from another local hospital had indeed paid two elderly people to stage an accident at the town central hospital.

That day, Serena had immediately called the police.

Over the past few days, the police had thoroughly investigated and detained the doctor involved.

Someone had also posted a video of the elderly couple causing trouble at the hospital online, sparking a huge uproar again.

Many netizens unaware of the truth flooded the comment section of Horizon Group’s official account with abuses, darkening the entire comment area.

Horizon Group remained silent for many days, without issuing any clarification.

Only tonight, the police finally released an official notice.

A single police notice silenced all the critics, and the situation reversed so quickly that many were caught off guard.

Edward also uncovered that it was Horizon Group’s rival who had accelerated the spread of this incident online.

The rival, in fact, was a well-known pharmaceutical brand in the country, significantly smaller than Horizon Group.

Edward acted swiftly and decisively in retaliation.

Soon, numerous negative stories about the pharmaceutical company burst online.

The pharmaceutical used substandard materials, and some drugs had excessive amounts of certain components or used cheaper substitutes.

Consequently, these medications could not achieve the desired effects and were still outrageously priced.

Social media exploded with this news.

Serena browsed her phone for a while, then seized the opportunity while Lucas Shaw was in the shower to call her assistant Frank Lane.

When she was not at Starfare Entertainment, Frank basically handled all the company’s affairs.

Frank answered the call quickly.

"Miss Summers?"

Serena cleared her throat and asked in a subdued voice, "Who used to be Adrian Shaw’s agent?"

"The former agent? It should be Brother Harvey," Frank pondered for a moment before answering.

Brother Harvey, Quentin Harvey, is one of the company’s veterans.

He had previously managed several top celebrities, although most of his current artists were neither here nor there.
