Chapter 235: Chapter 235 Grace Summers is Released

Lucas Shaw’s rough fingertips gently wiped the corner of the girl’s eye, her skin which was already especially delicate looked even redder after his touch.

"Do you want more?" Lucas Shaw drew closer slowly, rubbing his nose lightly against hers, a layer of mirth in his eyes.

"No, no more." Serena Summers glared at him petulantly.

Knowing full well she wasn’t ready yet, he dared to launch a sneak attack!

Absolutely detestable!

Lucas Shaw indeed did not continue, he slowly stood up, tilted his head looking at Serena Summers, "My blood, do you want to drink it? Should you drink it directly or mixed with medicinal herbs?"

His tone was very serious, as if what he was about to do was as simple as eating a meal, not cutting open his own flesh.

Serena Summers’s heart trembled fiercely, suddenly feeling somewhat sad, "No need, big brother is still collecting herbs for me, I believe it won’t be long before they are all gathered. I don’t need your blood."

"Serena, in front of me, are you still going to deceive yourself? I heard from Edward Selwyn before, it took him a full five years to gather those herbs, didn’t it? How many five years can you wait for? Even if you really had them, I know better than anyone how painful the poison’s onset is."

"But, I don’t want to see you get hurt because of me either," Serena Summers’s eyes became red in an instant.

She sat up from the bed, her legs curled up, her voice somewhat choked.

In fact, she had thought it over seriously last night. Even knowing that Lucas Shaw’s blood could neutralize the poison in her body, she couldn’t accept it.

She did not have a fetish for drinking human blood.

Moreover, Serena Summers did not want to see Lucas Shaw receive even the slightest bit of harm.

She couldn’t bear it.

Lucas Shaw suddenly reached out, pulling her into his embrace, "Silly girl, it’s just a bit of blood. If I can’t even offer this much, how am I worthy of being your husband? Listen to me, okay?"

Serena Summers opened her mouth, wanting to refute his words, but then heard him continue, "Serena, don’t make me feel useless as your husband. There’s not much I can do for you, and besides, it’s just drawing some blood, it’s not a matter of life and death."

Lucas Shaw did not tell Serena Summers that even if it were a matter of life and death, as long as it was for her, he would be willing to do it.

Under Lucas Shaw’s earnest persuasion, Serena Summers reluctantly agreed.

"However, we have to agree in advance, let me first conduct a more detailed data analysis, then we’ll discuss the next steps. You can’t take any unilateral actions."

The poison in Serena Summers’s body was very similar to Lucas Shaw’s, and it had also been inside her for seventeen years.

However, she was luckier than Lucas Shaw, having only one type of poison in her body.

And it had not mutated or spread.

Lucas Shaw reluctantly nodded, agreeing to her terms.

After breakfast, Serena Summers hurried back to the lab, ready to begin her next phase of research.

Before she could start her official work, her mobile phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from Declan Summers.

Serena Summers looked at the familiar number, hesitated for a moment, but still tapped to answer.

There was a moment of silence coming through the phone; Declan Summers did not speak.

Serena Summers didn’t either.

She held the phone, quietly waiting for the other party to speak.

After what felt like a long time, Declan Summers’s stammering voice came through, "Serena, I, I..."

"Just say what you need, I’m busy with something," Serena Summers indeed had things to do, but she also really didn’t want to deal with The Summers Family.

She made it clear before: after signing the papers, she would have no further contact with The Summers Family.

After leaving the Summers Family, she had always kept her end of the agreement, but somehow, The Summers Family always seemed to find their way to her.

Like bad pennies that keep turning up.

"Serena, I just wanted to say I’m sorry. My fans insulted you without knowing the situation, I apologize on their behalf for making you feel wronged," Declan Summers’s voice was full of apology, causing Serena Summers to helplessly shake her head.

She never took that matter to heart.

To be more precise, since the matter had been clarified online, she hadn’t looked at Twitter since.

"No need, you also stood up for me and hit Alexander Forrest. Thank you."

Although Serena Summers had suspected it, she wasn’t sure.

After all, she wasn’t the type to be so vain as to think their fight was over her.

But she didn’t expect Declan Summers would actually find evidence and even hand over damaging evidence against Grace Summers to the police.

This was beyond her expectations.

However, her feelings towards Declan Summers were simply that of gratitude.

Nothing more.

Hearing this thanks, Declan Summers suddenly felt a bit awkward.

He scratched the back of his head, somewhat embarrassed, and chuckled, "No, no need to thank me. It’s what I should do; I am your brother, after all."

Serena Summers suddenly laughed, brother?

To this day, she remembered how the three brothers from The Summers Family had sworn that they only acknowledged Grace Summers as their sister.

It’s only been a few months...

Serena Summers did not feel moved, only a sense of absurdity.

"Declan Summers, thank you for teaching Alexander Forrest a lesson, but I still hope to clarify our relationship. I have severed ties with The Summers Family, and I don’t wish to be involved with you all too deeply in the future."

Although these words seemed too cruel, this was Serena Summers’s deepest desire.

Serena Summers was no softhearted person, never had been.

These people who had hurt her had now helped her, effectively settling the score.

All past grievances were thus canceled out.

Beyond that, there was nothing.

You could say she was heartless or that she was insensitive, but that was just the kind of person she was.

"Also, I’ll have someone take care of the issue on the internet, trying to minimize the impact of your violent incident as much as possible. Keep a low profile for a while, don’t let the paparazzi dig up any dirt, otherwise, I won’t be able to help you."

With that, Serena Summers hung up the call.

Helping Declan Summers wasn’t because of any so-called sentiment, but because Declan Summers was the face of Starfare Entertainment.

Declan Summers was baffled.

He didn’t understand what that meant.

But soon, he received a call from his agent, saying the PR team had already been informed and would help to minimize the negative impact of the assault case as much as possible.

As Declan Summers processed this information, he was completely dumbfounded.

Was it just a coincidence?

But Serena Summers had just mentioned helping him, and then the agent called.

Was there some connection?

Declan Summers didn’t understand and simply decided not to think about it anymore.

However, soon after, his attention was captured by another matter.

After receiving a phone call, Declan Summers abruptly stood up from the couch, "What did you say? Grace Summers has been released? What’s going on?"

At the same time, Serena Summers also received a phone call.

Lucas Shaw had explicitly instructed to keep Grace Summers detained for a few more days previously.

The offences she committed had already breached the law; even without Lucas Shaw saying a word, they wouldn’t easily release her.

But unexpectedly, the situation had suddenly changed.

Lucas Shaw, with a grim expression, ordered, "Go check, find out exactly what’s going on."

Brandon Reese nodded and walked out.

Before long, he returned with Ethan Wells.
