Chapter 359: Chapter 359: Why Are You So Sweet?
Serena Sterling was completely powerless to resist, her delicate body trapped against him, surrounded by his clean and crisp scent, with no way to escape.
Soon she felt short of breath, her entire being kissed into a daze by him.
Her legs weakened, and she began to slide straight down to the floor.
At this moment, Hayden Crawford ended the kiss, his strong arm encircled her slender waist, preventing her from slipping down. His handsome eyelids quivered, he slowly closed his eyes, burying his handsome face in her long hair, panting heavily, "Why are you... so sweet?"
His voice hoarse as he asked.
Serena hated him fiercely, clenching her fists and pounding them onto him over and over.
Hayden knew he had angered her, and she would only hate him more in the future, but he didn’t regret it, otherwise how would he know that she was so sweet.
Hayden tightened his strong arm, pulling her closer into his embrace, desperately wanting to blend her into his own flesh and blood, "Before... have you kissed any other men?"
This question left Serena stunned, yes, the person was him!
Hayden regretted asking this question as soon as it came out, wondering why he was acting crazy for asking such a humiliating question. She had kissed many men, he had even heard her moaning with Shaun Spencer outside!
Just thinking about this made Hayden’s well-defined chest rise and fall, knowing he couldn’t get past this. He cared deeply.
He cared that she had been with other men, he cared that he wasn’t her only one!
What kind of woman couldn’t Hayden Crawford get, why waste time on one woman like this. Although he was at The Crawford Group, he knew everything happening here. She had come again to stir trouble, with Tiana Ford directly provoking three generations of the Knight family, making them madly retaliate, wanting to consume her.
He couldn’t rest assured about her, so he rushed over to see her.
In the past, he never dared to think he would be with such a morally unclean bad girl, he was obsessed with cleanliness, but he was simply obsessed, unable to let her go.
At this moment Serena wanted to speak, to answer his question, Hayden quickly interrupted her, "Shut up! I don’t want to hear you talking now!"
Serena felt that this man was seriously insane, meanwhile the two security guards outside hadn’t noticed anything unusual, they left.
The crisis had been resolved.
Serena breathed a sigh of relief, now there was nothing to worry about, she immediately started struggling hard, "Hayden, let me go!"
Hayden was caught off guard and pushed away, retreating a few steps.
Serena pulled open the office door and dashed out.
She ran!
Watching her delicate silhouette disappear from his sight, Hayden’s large hand slowly clenched into a fist, he would have her!
...
Serena returned to the Sterling family, her mind a chaotic mess from pondering over Hayden Crawford’s matters all the way back.
Returning to her room, Serena’s eyelids suddenly twitched heavily, because on the room’s coffee table she again saw a sealed letter.
She had been waiting!
She had been waiting for Seth Sullivan’s message!
Serena swiftly opened the sealed letter, inside was just a note, printed with a line of small characters: Tomorrow’s media conference will proceed as scheduled.
Serena lay on the bed, contemplating what the note meant. Now it seemed tomorrow’s media conference was extremely unfavorable for her, could it be... something unexpected would change during the conference?
What was this change?
Serena hadn’t done anything today; she was waiting, waiting to see what tricks the Knight family would employ, waiting to see Seth Sullivan’s strategies. She had to understand these two sides thoroughly to turn passive into active.
Serena closed her eyes briefly, when she opened them again, her pair of clear, bright eyes shining brilliantly!
...
The next day.
When Serena got up, she applied a light, thin makeup, making her complexion appear so pale, with dark circles under her eyes, and a wound on her forehead which she hadn’t bothered to cover with a band-aid, heading out with that injury.
Iris Blue saw Serena and immediately exclaimed, "Serena, what’s wrong with you, why do you look so terrible, and there’s a wound on your head, did someone bully you, quickly tell Mom, Mom will stand up for you."
Seeing Mom’s nervous and concerned expression, Serena felt at ease. She playfully fluttered her eyelashes, "Mom, I’m fine, I’m leaving now."
Serena waved her small hand and left energetically.
At this time, Mr. Brown approached, "Madam, is Serena okay? The academy hasn’t been peaceful these past few days, does Serena need our help?"
"I think Serena can handle it alone, this child is clever, today one never knows who might suffer." Iris Blue laughed.
...
The Academy.
Today’s media conference was held at the broadcasting station, media reporters from all over Aethelgard came one after another, all excited as if on adrenaline.
This time, Yvonne Knight and Anabelle Rathborne arrived with Tiana Ford, the main characters present. The "snap, snap" sound of photographs continued without end as everyone vied to hand over microphones.
Yvonne Knight quickly gestured with her hand, "Thank you all for coming, now please quiet down, we’ll hand the time over to Tiana Ford, to let her narrate her victim experience."
Yvonne Knight handed the microphone to Tiana Ford.
Tiana Ford, having just had a miscarriage yesterday, looked somewhat weak, "Hello everyone, I’m sure you’re all aware that I interviewed recently to clarify rumors between me and Old Man Knight, and formally announced my pregnancy as good news. But just yesterday, I miscarried, and Serena gave me miscarriage pills, killing my child."
Speaking of which, Tiana Ford took out the miscarriage pills, "Everyone, please look, these pills were found from Serena’s bag, caught red-handed! I really didn’t expect this former good friend Serena to be such a vicious person; this is murder, she’s truly cruel!"
Tiana Ford’s words inflamed the public outrage at the scene,
No one expected Serena to be so malicious, I misjudged her before.
If murdering is done, let her be thrown into jail!
Yvonne Knight was satisfied with the crowd’s angry reactions. At this moment someone suddenly asked, "Director Knight, where is Old Man Knight, why hasn’t he attended?"
Yvonne Knight gracefully replied, "My father, Old Man Knight, has been busy researching a new western medicine formulation, which has now entered clinical trial stage, so he’s not dealing with this romantic rumor, he’s been sleeplessly working for days."
Yvonne Knight’s righteous proclamation quickly stirred passion in everyone. Old Man Knight, dedicated his life to medicine, has made remarkable contributions to medical progress, yet unexpectedly late in life he was dragged into this by Serena, truly hateful!
Now everyone was gnashing their teeth in anger towards Serena.
Yvonne Knight, Anabelle Rathborne, and Tiana Ford, feeling they’ve seized control of the atmosphere, smiled subtly. Just then "boom," the door was pushed open, and Serena walked in.
