Chapter 1473

[Come on, everyone has a birthday. If you try to blackmail Bella with that, I swear I'll make a wish at my

birthday bash to stop her from taking over your legacy.]

Was it really necessary to be that harsh?!?

Meanwhile, at the other side.

Serena, paralyzed with fear, hadn't even come down for lunch. The help had to bring her meal to her

room.

When Eunice reached the door, she heard from the staff that Serena's hands were trembling so badly

that she could barely hold her cutlery.

She looked like she was still reeling from last night's ordeal.

"Serena," Eunice knocked on the door and without waiting for a response, she pushed it open, "I'm

coming in."

Hearing Eunice's voice, Serena looked up with anxious eyes and uttered timidly, "Aunt Eunice."

"Still not over it?" Eunice asked as she entered, finding Serena curled up on an armchair, her feet not

even daring to touch the floor. The fear in her eyes seemed genuine.

"It's so dark in here. Why don't you let some sunshine in?" Eunice walked over to the window and drew

back the curtains.

The sound of the curtains sliding sent a shiver through Serena, and as the sunlight streamed in, she

squinted, finding it almost blinding and unreal.

Eunice sat down on the sofa opposite her and, noticing the untouched meal on the table, asked

casually, "Not hungry?"

“Yeah.” Serena just hugged her knees tighter, her long hair cascading down and framing her overtly

startled face.

"What's up with the kitchen staff? Knowing you had such a scare last night, yet they cooked up this

bloody mess. Blood sausage, and what's with the black sesame seeds sprinkled on these egg whites?

They look like dead men’s eyeballs."

At the sight, Serena's fear intensified.

Eunice watched her reaction and continued, "Serena, tell me, do people die with their eyes open or

closed?"

Serena looked at Eunice, alarmed, "Aunt Eunice, I don't understand what you mean by that."

"Nothing. Just making conversation. It's just that I happened to notice these eyeballs, oh, I mean these

egg whites. Don't overthink it," Eunice smiled gently and sweetly.

But Serena couldn't bear to look any longer.

"Serena, dear, if you remember anything about last night, you let me know." Eunice spoke softly, "I've

had people looking into it, but no leads so far. You know I don't take kindly to threats. Remember when

you were a kid and someone pulled your hair, and pushed you down? I gave that bully a piece of my

mind. You know my temperament."

Serena eyed the stylish woman with the short hair and red lips. Her voice was soft, her smile beautiful,

but Serena could sense an underlying warning in her words.

"In business, I'm the same way. I'm willing to give my competitors a chance, but if they don't appreciate

it, well, let's just say they won't get a second one," Eunice's smile grew even more enchanting.

Yet Serena dared not meet her eyes.

"I've said before, Bella finally came back to this family, and I just want to make things right for her. She

nearly had an accident on my turf, someone tried to have her killed. If I find out who's behind it, what do

you think I should do? Expose their deeds for all to see, let them rot in jail for life, or maybe just chop

them up and feed them to the fish?"

Serena couldn't quite fathom the woman before her. She was the epitome of elegance and intellect, but

her words sent chills down Serena's spine.

"Serena, you've been at Dawnstar for a while now, and we haven't had a proper sit-down chat. You're

leaving soon. Is there anything you'd like to tell me?"
