Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 53 - Older Age Can Be Painful

“Our Grace is the best, kind and considerate, empathetic, and learned.

Not like some people who could even pull off eloping.”

Eloping.

Hmph…

Serena’s fair face darkened, and her red lips pressed into a taut line, “Did you see her elope with someone with your own eyes?”

“…No, that I didn’t, but with Serena’s spoilt and willful temper, it wouldn’t be unlike her to do such a thing,” Evan did hesitate for a moment but was ultimately persuaded by Mrs.

Summers.

Serena scoffed silently in her heart and said to Evan, “Let’s meet.

Tomorrow morning at ten, at the coffee shop near S University.

I’ll wait for you.”

After that, she logged out of her game account directly.

Evan was perplexed, but soon the excitement of meeting his elder brother overshadowed his confusion.

Lying in bed, his eyes were filled with anticipation.

Judging by the voice, his elder brother should be a sweet girl.

It’s a pity though, how could she marry so young?

The next morning, Stephen Lawrence woke to see a slender figure standing by his bed.

Startled, he quickly crawled out of bed, not forgetting to pull the covers up.

“What’s with the early visit?

There isn’t class today, is there?”

Evan stood in front of a full-length mirror trying on clothes, his handsome face brimming with joy and excitement.

“My elder brother asked to meet me, this morning.”

Stephen immediately became interested, “Really?”

Stephen had also played games with Serena.

Having witnessed Serena’s prowess, he was pleasantly surprised when he heard that Evan was going to meet her and leaped out of bed excitedly.

With a look of enthusiasm, Stephen wrapped his arms around Evan’s neck and said, “Buddy, take me with you, will you?”

Evan pushed him away with a look of disgust, “In your dreams.

I’m meeting my elder brother; what’s that got to do with you?”

Stephen, with a pained and aggrieved expression, protested quietly, “How can you say that!

We’re good brothers, your elder brother is my elder brother too!”

Evan rolled his eyes, not in the mood to bother with him, and continued to pick his clothes.

Looking at himself in the mirror, a sense of expectation welled up inside him.

Wondering what his elder brother looked like.

With such a sweet voice, the person must be beautiful, right?

For some reason, the image of Serena’s face, as delicate and lovely as a porcelain doll, flashed through Evan’s mind.

Although Serena was spoilt and willful, that face was definitely the prettiest Evan had ever seen.

Realizing what he was thinking, Evan quickly shook his head, revealing a trace of disgust.

After Serena was brought to the Summers Family, she had been bullying Grace both openly and in secret, and now she had even run off with someone, utterly disgraceful to the Summers’ family name.

She’s not fit to be my sister, not at all.

Shaw Mansion.

After arranging a meeting time with Evan Summers, Serena Summers hung up the phone and sat on the bed, her downcast eyes unusually still and silent.

That is the scene Lucas Shaw walked into when he entered the bedroom.

The girl who was usually full of bubbling enthusiasm now hung her head, her cherry lips tightly pursed, her eyelashes slightly drooping to cast two small shadows on her eyelids, making her seem a bit downhearted.

Lucas Shaw quickly walked over to sit beside Serena Summers.

He tilted his head, looking at the little girl immersed in her thoughts, “What’s wrong?

Not happy?

Did someone bully you?”

Aside from Elena Ryan and grandfather, everyone at Shaw Mansion was both shocked by and fearful of Lucas Shaw, not daring to provoke him easily.

During the few days Serena Summers had been at the Shaw Mansion, the servants knew that she was under his protection and wouldn’t dare to bully her.

Who had the gall to bully her?

Lucas Shaw’s expression suddenly turned grim, an icy and powerful aura emanating from him.

Serena Summers looked up, her eyes slightly red, her small mouth turned down as if she was a wronged kitten seeking her owner’s comfort.

Lucas Shaw gently raised his hand and softly rubbed the top of Serena Summers’ hair, his icy demeanor receding, and asked, “Who’s bullying you?”

Serena Summers’ lips pursed slightly, and she gritted her teeth as she said Evan Summers’ name.

“I previously thought that as long as I severed ties with the Summers Family, they wouldn’t have the right to insult me at will anymore.

I didn’t expect them to concoct a story about me eloping with some old man and being kept by him!”

It drove her mad!

This was the first time Serena Summers had encountered the shameless likes of the Summers Family.

Old man Lucas Shaw: “…”

He coughed lightly, touching his chin while a hint of doubt flashed through his dark eyes.

“Do I look that old?”

Serena Summers: “…”

Is that the point?

“Not old, not old.

A bit older means more caring.”

Lucas Shaw felt a lump in his throat, unsure what to say in the moment.

She looked up, frustrated, “Husband, has the financing Shaw Group promised to Summers Group arrived?”

Lucas Shaw nodded with a somber expression, “The day you came to the Shaw Mansion, grandfather personally signed the investment agreement with Henry Summers.

With the injection of funds from Shaw Group, Summers Group is already seeing improvements.”

Serena Summers scoffed coldly, an icy and piercing chill in her almond eyes.

Improvements?

Gains made by selling their daughter, yet they have the gall to enjoy them without a hint of remorse!

“That money should have never gone to them!

A bunch of ungrateful wretches, they don’t deserve Shaw Group’s financing!”

Just thinking about those people continuing to enjoy a life of luxury with the money they got from “selling” her, Serena Summers was incensed.

Seeing Serena Summers angry, Lucas Shaw spoke with a soothing low voice, “Don’t worry, Henry Summers has no idea how to run a company.

The Summers Family has been losing money for years.

Henry Summers is very arrogant, so even with the Shaw Group’s financing, Summers Group will still go bankrupt.”

It was only a matter of time.

Serena Summers did not speak.

Bankruptcy?

That would be letting them off too easily.

She looked up at Lucas Shaw, “Husband, can I get a copy of the agreement and the transfer records of the financing Shaw Group made with Henry Summers?”

Back when she was with the Summers Family, Evan Summers would only call her things like bumpkin, dead girl, ill-mannered, only capable of embarrassing the Summers Family…

She really wanted to see what his face would look like when he saw this agreement.
