Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Attempted Murder

Grace Summers was stunned, not expecting that Lucas Shaw’s favoritism and doting on Serena Summers had reached such an extent.

Her heart started to panic.

Initially, Grace had come with the purpose of gaining favor.

But who would have thought, Serena happened to come along too.

Truly like a lingering ghost!

Shameless, always clinging to Lucas Shaw, only knowing how to rely on men, without any sense of self.

Just wait, sooner or later, she will be discarded by Lucas Shaw!

"Don’t touch me, I...Serena, I want to have a word with you!" Grace screamed and started to struggle.

Serena furrowed her brows and said to Grace, "I can talk to you."

Upon hearing this, Lucas Shaw immediately grabbed Serena’s arm, his lips tightly pressed, his face filled with disapproval.

He didn’t want Serena to be in the same place with this crazy woman, it was too dangerous.

Who knew if this woman, driven into a corner, would hurt Serena again?

Serena smiled and soothed him, "It’s okay, there are so many people watching, what can she do to me? Also, this is your turf, right?"

Lucas Shaw, feeling helpless, could only compromise, and he ordered the bodyguards, "Stand guard there. If anything happens to the lady, I will hold you accountable."

Lucas Shaw looked at Serena with lowered eyes, "Are you really okay?"

Serena nodded, "Don’t worry, you go and get the documents first, we’ll head to the lab together later."

Lucas Shaw gave Grace a cold glance and then left unwillingly.

After Lucas Shaw left, Serena and Grace sat down on the sofa in the main hall.

Without Lucas Shaw present, Grace couldn’t be bothered to keep up the act, and her true nature was revealed.

She sneered sarcastically, "You really have some skill, to actually make Mr. Lucas Shaw dance to your tune."

"Thank you for the compliment." Serena’s lips curved slightly, retorting with irony, "But not as impressive as you; under incontrovertible evidence, you actually managed to walk out of the police station."

Mentioning this incident made Grace even more smug, she lifted her chin with a proud look, "Of course, it’s because I have a good uncle. It’s a pity though, had you not severed ties with the Summers Family, you would also have had such a powerful and influential uncle."

When Grace said these words, her eyes were fixed tightly on Serena.

She wanted to see sadness, pain on Serena’s face.

However, Serena not only didn’t show any sadness but maintained a calmly composed demeanor throughout.

As if she didn’t care about it at all.

This inevitably made Grace feel defeated.

In the face of Grace’s provocation, Serena just found it somewhat amusing.

Because she didn’t know that Julian Lane had already come looking for her.

And Serena didn’t care for the Lane Family’s money and influence at all.

In terms of power and influence, her senior brother was Edward Selwyn, her husband was Lucas Shaw, and her master was the renowned Divine Healer.

Any one of these identities was impressive enough to shake anyone.

She looked at Grace with a calm gaze and asked straightforwardly, "What is it that you want? If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave."

Grace tore off any pretense and said with a cold sarcastic tone, "I have never really taken you seriously, in my eyes, you are nothing but an ant that I could crush at any time."

"So what?" Serena raised an eyebrow in response.

Grace clenched her fists, her anger nearly spilling out of her chest.

She snarled through gritted teeth, "But how could I have never imagined that a lowly ant could have its day to turn things around."

She looked at Serena, filled with unbearable jealousy inside.

Serena Summers used to be nothing but an insignificant speck of dust under Grace Summers’ feet.

But when exactly did she start to change?

It seems to have been from when she left the Summers Family.

And after getting the support of Lucas Shaw.

Serena suddenly leaned in and whispered into Grace Summers’ ear, "Would you like to taste what it’s like to be crushed by an ant?"

A bolt of thunder struck Grace Summers, rendering her speechless in an instant.

Since when did Serena become so assertive?

In her memory, Serena was always the girl who suffered in silence, hoarding grievances in her heart, even enduring the hurt inflicted by her own family.

But now... she saw the shadow of Lucas Shaw on Serena!

How could this be possible!

Grace Summers forced herself to calm down and sneered, "Are you joking with me?"

Serena did not respond.

The next second, a series of footsteps came from outside the door.

"Hello, may I ask who is Grace Summers?"

Grace Summers looked up and saw several people dressed in police uniforms walked in.

Due to her previous experience of being locked up in the police station, Grace Summers instinctively felt fear upon seeing them.

She subconsciously pointed towards Serena beside her, "Her, she is!"

Serena looked at her in surprise and then let out a laugh.

She lowered her head to take an ID card out of her bag and handed it to one of the police officers, "When did I change my name?"

The officer glanced at the ID card, back at Serena, confirmed it was correct, and handed it back to her.

"Miss Grace Summers, please come with us."

The police officer’s gaze quickly fell on Grace Summers.

Grace Summers’ eyes widened in disbelief, "Why are you taking me away?"

The officer explained: "We have verified the evidence provided by Mr. Declan Summers before, and it is all valid, so we need to take you into custody again. Also, the Shaw Group’s legal team has already prepared to appeal. Please come with us."

Grace Summers’ face was a picture of panic as she shook her head frantically, "No, that’s impossible! It can’t be!"

She instinctively turned to look at Serena and found her expression calm, as if everything was under control.

In that instant, she understood that all of this was Serena’s doing!

When the police officers approached, Grace Summers frantically hid in the couch, covering her face and screaming.

"Miss Grace Summers, please do not interfere with official duties. Come with us," the officer said sternly again.

Grace Summers struggled desperately, her gaze towards Serena was like a cold knife, wishing to cut her into pieces.

"Serena, you wait for me! I will never let you go!"

Serena’s lips curved slightly, the dimples on her face faintly visible, "Sure, we’ll see when you get out."

The things that Grace Summers did, at the very least, should get her three to four years in prison.

The things she did before lacked tangible evidence, so they couldn’t lead to a conviction, but this time was different.

The surveillance video was clear, and Grace Summers clearly attempted murder.

Moreover, the Shaw Group’s legal team is comprised of the best ace lawyers in the country, so the chances of winning the case are very high.

Henry Summers has always been power-hungry, with such a daughter who has been in jail and isn’t even his biological child, how long can this so-called kinship last?

Actually, Serena didn’t want to take things this far, but she truly didn’t want to be entangled with Grace Summers anymore.

Time and again, if Grace doesn’t get tired, she herself is tired.
