Serena Sterling’s bright eyes looked at Jude Crawford, "Uncle Crawford, what do you want to say to ?"
Jude Crawford showed no emotion, revealing neither joy nor anger, "I said it back in Bayside, I don’t want you to be caught between my two sons, because eventually, for your sake, they will turn against each other. How about it, was I right?"
"Uncle Crawford, you’re not boasting about your foresight, are you? Or perhaps you’re planning a career as a fortune-teller, stealing their job?" Serena Sterling replied without engaging but instead questioned.
Jude Crawford revealed a slight smile, "What’s your plan now? Both my sons are utterly captivated by you. Which one will you choose?"
"Uncle Crawford, with the whole city in chaos, instead of discreetly disappearing, you’re asking to choose between your two favored sons. I’m truly overwheld, and honestly, I’m more afraid. I don’t understand what you really want to do?"
Serena Sterling looked at the enigmatic Jude Crawford opposite her. Ever since her identity as Seraphina Linden’s daughter was revealed, Jude Crawford had beco an elusive figure. She couldn’t decipher what he was scheming.
Jude Crawford curled his thin lips slightly, "Don’t be afraid. As long as I haven’t found Yara yet, you’re safe."
That’s right, he had revealed his motive. He said he wanted Yara.
Serena Sterling tilted her head slightly, "Uncle Crawford ans, Yara isn’t dead but... was taken away by my mother, is that it?"
Jude Crawford appreciated intelligent people, and he couldn’t help but want to give Serena Sterling a thumbs-up. This girl had a mind like a gem.
The situation was a stalemate back then, and this girl is the key to unlock the predicant.
Jude Crawford had an intuition that she would soon clear away the layers of mystery.
Seeing Jude Crawford silent, Serena Sterling continued her bold speculation, "It seems I was right. My mother truly took Yara away. You’ve been searching for my mother all these years, but she has vanished without a trace."
This ti Jude Crawford nodded, "Your mother disappeared to the world’s end."
Serena Sterling’s heart skipped a beat, what does this an?
Jude Crawford looked at her, "Your mother isn’t from here. She cos from a mysterious land. Miss Sterling, will you one day disappear like your mother?"
Serena Sterling’s delicate lashes trembled, overwheld by the magnitude of the information. Her mother is from a... mysterious land?
What kind of land?
Indeed, this Jude Crawford was a cunning old fox. As a player in Aethelgard’s power circles, he knew too much.
Serena Sterling desperately wanted to extract so more useful information from his mouth. She was about to speak when a deep, magnetic voice reached her ears, "Why did she disappear?"
Soone had arrived.
Serena Sterling turned back, a tall and handso figure walked into view. Hayden Crawford had returned!
Tonight, Hayden Crawford wore a black coat. The structured coat emphasized his tall and handso figure. His shoulders were covered in cold frost from outside, making him look profoundly handso and noble, attracting everyone’s attention like a magnet.
The maid respectfully greeted him, and Hayden Crawford handed his briefcase to the maid, then removed his black leather gloves and entered the living room. His deep eyes landed on Jude Crawford’s face, asking again, "Why did she disappear? Where did she disappear to?"
Jude Crawford replied, "She, like her mother, isn’t from here. One day she will disappear to the world’s end. But to be precise, it isn’t a disappearance; it’s... going ho."
Going ho?
Serena Sterling suddenly shot up from the sofa, staring at Jude Crawford in shock, "You an, my mother has already gone ho?"
Jude Crawford nodded, "Yes, and so, you must find the way ho."
Serena Sterling’s mind exploded with realization. She had always thought her mother had disappeared, but it turned out her mother had gone ho, back to that mysterious land.
The mysterious land vanished into the world’s end, with no one knowing the way ho.
If she could find the way ho, then she could see her mother, and even Yara.
Serena Sterling’s heart leaped with excitent, suddenly having a new direction and goal.
At this mont, Hayden Crawford stretched out his well-defined fingers and firmly grasped her slender wrist, forcing her to turn and face him, "Will you go ho?"
Serena Sterling almost nodded. Of course, she wanted to go ho.
Hayden Crawford pressed his lips into a stern, pale line, displeased, "You’re not allowed to go ho!"
Why?
This person was indeed overbearing!
"Let go of !" Serena Sterling forcefully withdrew her slender arm and stepped away, "I’m going upstairs to check on Zane."
Serena Sterling quickly ran upstairs.
Hayden Crawford watched her graceful figure disappear from sight, furrowing his handso brows into a "川" shape.
...
In the study.
Zelda Willow was trembling with anger. Earlier, Jude Crawford was in the living room, and she couldn’t say certain things for fear that Jude Crawford would be displeased with her son.
Originally, last ti Zane Crawford stood against Jude Crawford directly to find Serena Sterling, she was afraid their father-son relationship would break.
Now, in the study, it was just her and her son. Zelda Willow glared at Zane Crawford with red-rimd eyes, "Zane, how could you do sothing so disgraceful? Your affair with a new girlfriend has already hit the entertainnt headlines, and everyone is talking about it!"
"Over the years, I’ve placed all my hopes on you. You don’t like competing, fighting, doing business; there’s nothing I haven’t supported you in. But you’ve gone too far with this. You even plucked your own feathers for Serena Sterling!"
"Zane, I want you to imdiately issue a statent clarifying this matter!"
Zane Crawford looked at Zelda Willow, shaking his head, "Mom, I’ve already said what needed to be said downstairs: First, I’ve broken off the engagent with Serena Sterling; Second, I have a new girlfriend."
Zelda Willow froze. She pointed a trembling finger at Zane Crawford, "You! You! Fine, fine, I’ve raised you until now, yet I never hoped for you to take care of in my old age, and now you refuse to obey. I’d rather not have raised a son ant for Serena Sterling’s sake, and I’d rather kill you to prevent you from ruining yourself at her hands!"
Zelda Willow was furious. She found a whip and began to lash it at Zane Crawford imdiately.
Zane Crawford didn’t dodge, and with a crack, the whip hit his body, instantly causing blood to seep from his white shirt.
Zelda Willow struck him several more tis in succession.
