Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Getting a Bargain and Still Playing Cute

Grace Summers didn’t believe that Serena Summers truly didn’t care at all.

"Is getting angry useful?" Serena Summers asked with a light chuckle.

Grace Summers was startled and fell silent.

Of course, it wasn’t useful.

Those things were the result of her meticulous calculations.

No matter what happened in the future, she would never return those things to Serena Summers.

Once in her possession, those things belonged to her.

She had accompanied Mr. Summers, Mrs. Summers, and her brothers at the Summers Family for so many years; if not meritorious, she had at least labored hard.

These things, as a reward, were nothing but her due.

Serena Summers smiled knowingly, not surprised by Grace’s response.

She seemed somewhat uninterested and turned to leave.

However, just as she turned around, her arm was suddenly gripped tightly.

"Sister, did I do something wrong to upset you? Is it because of Brother Everett? Sister, I’m sorry, Brother Everett and I are truly in love, please bless us..."

Everett Parker, having finished chatting with the guests, came out just in time to see Grace Summers’ aggrieved look.

He hurriedly quickened his steps, pulled Grace Summers into his arms, and glared angrily at Serena Summers.

But with just one look, he was suddenly stunned.

The girl in front of him, delicate and beautiful like a porcelain doll from a shop window, was Serena Summers?

How could this be?

In the past, because of Grace Summers, Everett Parker had never really looked at Serena Summers.

Thus, he had overlooked Serena Summers’ appearance.

Until this moment, staring at Serena Summers’ exquisitely beautiful face, he was somewhat entranced, forgetting what he was about to say.

Suddenly pulled into Everett’s arms, Grace Summers was waiting full-heartedly for his wrath.

However, when she raised her eyes, she found that Everett was staring blankly at Serena Summers’ face, his eyes filled with amazement.

A strong sense of crisis suddenly rose in her heart, and she quickly tugged on Everett’s shirt.

"Brother Everett, it’s okay, it’s not intentional by sister."

Hearing Grace Summers’ words, Everett Parker came back to his senses.

Thinking that he had just been staring at Serena Summers’ face for a long time, his face instantly became embarrassed.

His face turning cold, he said angrily, "Serena Summers, you are bullying Grace again! It’s one thing normally, but today is my and Grace’s engagement ceremony, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Watching Everett Parker looking fiercely protective, Serena Summers couldn’t help but sneer.

"You have said everything; whether I have bullied Grace Summers or not, those present can testify."

The guests shook their heads one after another.

They had witnessed the entire process.

Apart from a few whispers they didn’t hear clearly, they had been watching Serena Summers and Grace Summers the whole time.

Serena Summers had said no more than five sentences.

They simply hadn’t seen any scene where Grace Summers was bullied!

Were they blind?

Otherwise, why would Grace Summers suddenly appear so aggrieved?

The crowd looked at each other, indicating their confusion.

But many were afraid to speak out.

After all, the Parker Family was still among the top tycoons; they couldn’t afford to offend them.

Serena Summers slowly took two steps forward, walked up to Grace Summers, and said in a low voice, "Didn’t I tell you to stop bothering me in the future?"

Facing Serena Summers’ icy cold eyes, Grace Summers’ heart skipped a beat, and she quickly stepped back half a step.

"No, I didn’t..." Grace Summers subconsciously started to defend herself.

"Firstly, I am already married, whatever happens between you and Everett Parker has nothing to do with me. Rest assured, I am not interested in Everett Parker, there is no need for you to guard against me like I’m a thief."

"Secondly, I have my own husband, his name is Lucas Shaw. We are in a good relationship, please do not try to sow discord."

"I’ve said these words more than once before. I see that Miss Summers not only has issues with her brain but also her ears."

Serena Summers crossed her arms and slightly tilted chin up, coldly glaring at Grace Summers.

She thought Grace must be seriously ill in the head.

She and Everett Parker had met only a few times.

She couldn’t figure out why Grace would insist that she would steal Everett away.

Grace’s face turned deathly pale in an instant, her eyes filled with fear as she looked at Serena.

She stared incredulously at Serena, unable to believe that this assertive and icy-eyed girl was the same pushover from the Summers Family.

During her time with the Summers Family, she had used the same tactics to frame Serena several times, and succeeded every time.

Why had Serena become the dominant one today?

The surrounding guests looked from Grace to Serena and felt like they understood something.

According to Grace, Serena had been infatuated with Everett and had even been kept by a man in his forties to gain Everett’s attention.

But now it seemed... that was clearly a rumor.

Lucas Shaw is just twenty-four years old, where’s the old man in his forties?

Moreover, Serena is openly acknowledged as Lucas Shaw’s wife, how could she be a mistress?

And compared to Lucas Shaw, Everett Parker just doesn’t measure up, okay?

Who is Lucas Shaw?

He displayed keen business acumen since his teens, taking over the vast Shaw Group.

Over the years, Lucas Shaw had worked hard to expand the Shaw Group’s business territory, doubling its influence.

Rumors say he is decisive, stern, and sharp in his methods.

And who is Everett Parker?

Merely a rich heir from the Parker Family.

And there’s more than one heir in the Parker Family; it’s still uncertain whether Everett will inherit the Parker Group.

All in all, compared to Lucas Shaw, Everett isn’t even qualified to carry his shoes.

Even a fool knows what choice to make.

Grace keeps claiming Serena adores Everett—who would believe that?

Mr. Summers, looking at Serena’s aggressive demeanor, became displeased instantly.

He reprimanded softly, "Serena, is this how you speak to your sister? Apologize to Grace right now!"

Serena, Grace.

The difference in how they are addressed shows clear favoritism.

Serena scoffed in disbelief, blinking her clear eyes at Mr. Summers.

"Sister? I have severed ties with the Summers Family, what sister are you talking about?"

Serena retorted with a sneer, "Mr. Summers, you personally signed the severance agreement, are you trying to deny that now? Does that mean all agreements with the Summers Family are null and void?"

Mr. Summers’s face changed dramatically, his eyes widening in disbelief.

Agreements null and void?

That means the thirty billion investments from the Shaw Family would be completely pulled back.

This cannot be!

Mr. Summers remained silent, his face twisted in extreme displeasure.

Serena chuckled lightly, tilting her head and asked, "So what exactly does this mean, Mr. Summers? Acting clever even after reaping the benefits?"

He wants to monopolize the huge investment from the Shaw Group while still trying to cozy up to the Shaw Family through her.

Quite the clever plan.

Lucas Shaw put his arm around Serena’s shoulder, his cold gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"Mr. Summers, bunching up to bully my wife right in front of me, do you think the Shaw Family’s investment is easy to take?"

Lucas Shaw’s voice was deep, laced with a stark threat.

Faces of the Summers Family members changed instantly, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Lucas Shaw.
