At that moment, Romeo's phone rang.

Serena watched as he stood up and strolled towards the backyard. She hurried down the stairs and followed him stealthily, her

mind whirring with secret calculations.

"Romeo, | owe you an apology. What happened last twas my fault."

Feeling humiliated, Serena raised her voice, “Don't you even have the patience to listen to me?"

Before Serena could finish, she saw Romeo stop in his tracks, his eyes narrowing sharply, "Have | been too kind to you?"

An aura of displeasure radiated from him, his icy gaze cutting through her like a knife, as if he wanted to flay her alive.

Serena stood there; it took her a while to gather her wits, her humiliation reaching its peak.

Romeo had gone too far! She was a lady, after all! How could he speak to her like that?

Hidden in the shadows, Eunice's eyes narrowed as she watched the scene unfold. It was clear that Romeo had a strong dislike for

Serena, and Serena seemed to harbor sspecial feelings for Romeo.

Could it be that her scheming heart was still at work, trying to capture Romeo's attention?

With this thought, a flicker of displeasure crossed Eunice's eyes.
