Serena Sterling did not keep thinking about the rescue from years ago, so when she heard the story of how Mr. Crawford was saved by soone, she didn’t imdiately connect it to herself. But now that Corvus ntioned it, she was confused.
Big brother...
Could it be that Hayden Crawford is the big brother she saved back then...?
Could it be that Yasmine Sterling and Caroline Sloan were her substitutes, taking her place one after the other?
"Miss Serena, please don’t overthink it. This is the reason why my master didn’t dare tell you. The master searches for the girl from that year because this matter seems complicated. He was ambushed twice that year, and that girl was involved throughout. Then, Yasmine and Caroline took her place one after the other. This is extraordinary, and he wants to uncover the truth and see who’s behind these tricks," Corvus explained.
Serena Sterling ca back to her senses, "Oh, I understand. I won’t overthink it."
"..." Corvus looked at Serena’s calm and composed deanor, unable to understand what she was actually thinking.
"By the way," Serena wanted to confirm sothing, "where was Hayden Crawford rescued by that girl back then?"
"There are photos of that place, they are in the master’s study drawer."
So what are we waiting for?
Let’s go see them now.
Serena Sterling got up directly and headed out.
"Hey, Miss Sterling, where are you going? My master is still downstairs waiting for you to join him for dinner."
Serena didn’t look back, "Let him eat by himself."
Serena quickly vanished from sight with Cherie.
It’s over, it’s over. Miss Serena must be angry. She stood up the master for tonight’s candlelight dinner. Corvus felt he had caused a big trouble and quickly went to find Hayden Crawford.
...
Hayden Crawford was downstairs at Port Sterling, waiting for Serena. Earlier, Serena promised to join him for a candlelight dinner, but as they walked outside, she suddenly said she had sothing to take care of and asked him to wait here. So he waited obediently.
However, he waited and waited, but Serena did not appear.
What on earth did she go off to do?
Hayden planned to go in and find her, but just then, Corvus rushed out, "Master, sothing terrible has happened."
Hayden pressed his thin lips in displeasure, "What’s the rush? I’m in no mood to hear about anything right now. I’m going in to have dinner with Serena."
Hayden turned to go in.
"Master!" Corvus called out quickly, stamring, "Don’t go find Miss Serena. She... she has already left."
"Left?" Hayden looked incredulous, as Serena had promised him the candlelight dinner.
He had been waiting for this dinner for days, even if it was by appointnt, it was now his turn. He didn’t believe she just left.
But Corvus nodded firmly, "Yes, master, Miss Serena has already left. She even said... told you to eat by yourself."
"..." Hayden’s handso face suddenly turned cold, his brow imdiately clouded with gloom, "Say, what exactly happened!"
Corvus’s legs went weak, almost kneeling, "Master, it’s... it’s all my fault. Today Miss Serena ca to and caught off guard. She said she already knew the story about you and Caroline, so... so in my young and ignorant state, I inadvertently let it slip to her... I told Miss Serena everything!"
In Hayden’s deep and narrow eyes, a hawk-like cold light flashed imdiately. He glared at Corvus with an expression that said, "You’re done for!"
Corvus shrank, trembling with weakness.
"Where did Serena go?"
"Miss Serena seed to have gone... to your villa, master."
Hayden said nothing, grabbed his car keys, got into the Rolls Royce Phantom, stepped on the gas, and sped off.
Corvus could only stand there and fend for himself.
...
Serena, with Cherie in tow, arrived at Hayden’s villa, heading straight to the study on the second floor.
Actually, Serena had her suspicions in her mind already, but she still wanted to confirm it. She slowly extended her hand and opened the bottom drawer.
Was Hayden Crawford the big brother from those years ago?
The drawer opened, and Serena took out the photograph, her long lashes falling as she looked at it.
The sa exact place, just as she rembered.
It was here in the snowy weather back then, she saved a big brother!
So Hayden Crawford really was that big brother, and the little girl he had never forgotten was her!
Serena couldn’t help but smile, indeed she smiled. She reached out, and her pale fingers touched the photograph. He had said upon leaving, "I will co back for you!"
This idiot, she was right in front of him, and he didn’t even know!
Who did he look for?
Did he look for Yasmine Sterling?
Did he look for Caroline Sloan?
How foolish could he be?
At this mont, Cherie ca over, "Princess, what’s wrong?"
Holding the photograph, Serena stood up, "I understand everything now. I’ve found the key point. I know all about what happened back then."
Cherie couldn’t help but want to give a thumbs up. Her princess really was the best.
Just then, a steady footstep ca from outside. It wasn’t as calm as usual; it was urgent. Soone was rushing over.
The maid’s voice ca from outside, "Sir... Mr. Crawford, Miss Sterling just arrived. She’s in the study now..."
Before the maid finished speaking, the study door was pushed open by a large hand. Hayden Crawford’s imposing figure appeared.
Hayden ca as quickly as possible.
Serena lifted her bright eyes to look at the man at the door. In just a blink of an eye, ten years had passed. The big brother who once fainted in her arms had grown into such a handso, mature, and noble man. He no longer needed the warmth and belief she once gave, because he was now strong enough to weather any storm. His broad and sturdy shoulders could shelter any girl in the world from the wind and rain.
She never thought they would et so early in life.
Cherie and the maid both stepped back, and Hayden strode in, a layer of wind and frost covering him. His deep eyes fell on the photograph in Serena’s hands, then on her beautiful face, "Serena, let explain. It’s definitely not what you think."
Serena’s bright eyes glanced coquettishly at him, "Oh? Mr. Crawford, then what really happened? Explain it to properly."
Hayden thought she would be angry, and indeed she was a bit sulky, but in a charming way, exuding an enticing allure.
