Serina quietly waited for Sammy’s reply.
Sammy had drunk too much. He looked at Serina in a daze, “What did you say?”
“I said if…”
“Here! He’s here!”
Before Serina could finish her words, several men rushed over. The two people ahead of others were from the Nathans. Serina could recognize them.
They held Sammy from his left and right. One of them nodded towards Serina, “Ms. Serina, we are taking Mr. Sammy home. It’s our job. Please.”
Sammy couldn’t even stand up, and his face blushed, “Serina, I’m sorry…. Sorry, Serina….”
“Bring him back. Don’t tell people he was with me.” Serina glanced at Sammy and sat back down.
If Sammy’s father knew that Sammy was with her, he would beat him again.
“OK.” They took Sammy away, leaving Serina alone.
Since Clara came to the Norris family, Serina’s world had completely changed.
‘Everyone feels pitiful for Clara. They all have sympathy for her.’
Why? What’s wrong with them?
“Please give me two bottles of wine!” Serina shouted.
A waiter immediately came over and placed the wine on the table.
As she drank, she recalled everything that had happened over the years. She couldn’t help herself. Unknowingly, the two bottles were empty.
…
In the Crystal Palace…
The moment Derek stepped into the living room, Henry stepped forward to greet him, “Mr. Derek.”
“Where is she?”
Naturally, he was referring to Serina.
“Ms. Serina, she…”
“She ran away again?”
“No. Ms. Serina hasn’t come back…” Henry answered cautiously. He let her go without Mr. Derek’s permission. If Serina escaped again, he might be…
At this moment, he heard the sound of a car coming.
Henry’s eyes lit up. “It’s Ms. Serina!”
Derek turned around and looked outside.
“Don’t touch me! I am not drunk! I never get drunk!” Serina raised her hand to stop the bodyguard who came to help.
As a result, she staggered and almost fell to the ground. The bodyguard immediately went up to help her up.
“Let her walk herself.” Derek said.
No one dared to approach Serina now.
Serina staggered into the living room. She leaned against the door and looked at Derek, “Hey! Great Demon King!”
Hearing this, all the servants and bodyguards in the living room lowered their heads. They were frightened, ‘What did she call Derek? How dare she!’
Derek frowned as he looked at the woman in front of him. Her face was red, the same as when he first saw her.
She drank again!
Serina approached Derek. She almost fell over as her feet went weak. Derek stretched out an arm to support her.
“Great Demon King, I’m in a good mood today. How about telling you a story?”
“You want to tell me a story?”
“Right! I have a story. Have you got any wine?” Serina pointed at Derek’s chest and said, “Give me alcohol and I will tell you the story. Otherwise, no stories!”
“Alright.” Derek wanted to know what she would say.
Derek had Henry prepare a bottle of wine and two glasses. Serina became excited as she saw the wine. Just as she was about to reach for it, Derek grabbed onto her wrist.
“Tell me the story before you drink.”
Serina held her head with one hand. Her rosy face was extremely cute.
“It is a crazy story.”
Serina shook off Derek’s hand on her wrist and said, “I will tell you while drinking.”
Derek didn’t stop Serina. He filled one glass for himself and said, “I’ll drink with you.”
“Great!” Serina gave Derek a thumbs-up sign and said, “Where should I start? Well… Let’s start from the time when I was born. No… From my fifteen. Fifteen…”
“Alright.” Derek took a sip of the wine.
“When I was fifteen, I went to my grandparents’ with my mother. And when I came back home, I saw a little girl about my age. My father told me that she was my younger sister. Her name was Clara Norris.”
Serina sneered, “Later on, my mother and I found out that before my father married her, he had a girlfriend. She was a prostitute kept by my father.”
Derek had no expression on his face. Such story was common in rich families.
“My dad used to be a playboy. After meeting my mom, he abandoned the woman. After they got married, my dad still contacted her for a few times. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be Clara. My mom said if Clara was born before they got married, she would accept the fact. However, Clara was born after my birth. My father cheated on her in their marriage. My mother was angry and left home.”
Serina let out a long sigh and smiled, “And then my miserable life started.”
“No matter what, you are the eldest daughter of the Norris family. They would not have any preference for a prostitute’s daughter, would they?”
Serina slapped the table abruptly, “This is the craziest part of this story! She was born to a prostitute. She should be despised everywhere, but she was not!”
Derek remained expressionless. He took a sip of wine and quietly listened to Serina.
“Clara had tried to please the family since she came. People did not like her. She was born to a prostitute and brought up by a prostitute. However, everyone soon began to sympathize with her.”
Serina paused for a few seconds.
“Clara is really good at pretending. She pretends to be pitiful and humble. It’s all fake! But she succeeded and my grandparents started to like her.”
“….”
“Gradually, even the servants think she is a kind, intelligent, obedient and sensible person, while her sister is arrogant, domineering, and bad-tempered. No one knows that Clara is a wily person. No one believes me.”
Derek remained silent.
“Once, Clara broke a vase in front of me. It was my father’s favorite one. She cried, saying that he should not blame me because the vase was broken by her. But my father thought I asked her to take the blame. I said I didn’t. But he didn’t believe me and had me kneel all night!”
“Well!” Serina gulped down a mouthful of wine, “I can stand all of that. But she slept with Sammy on my birthday!”
Derek frowned slightly. ‘Who was Sammy?’
“Oh. You don’t know Sammy, do you? Our story started before I was born. My grandfather saved Sammy’s grandfather, and they became friends. Our families developed a close relationship. And we got engaged when I was still in my mother’s belly.”
Derek frowned even deeper.
