Mr. Grant Treats Me Like a Treasure-Chapter 254 - 253: They All Want to Ruin Me

"Zoe Quinn didn’t save me, but instead helped Joel Quinn try to ruin me."

She remembers this clearly, so clearly that even the feeling of Joel Quinn approaching her still makes her nauseous now.

"Serena, Joel Quinn isn’t like that."

Claire Sullivan didn’t want to hear Serena Sullivan say these things, so she raised her voice to stop her.

Whether or not he’s that kind of person, Claire Sullivan isn’t completely blind.

A woman who can keep The Sullivan Corporation afloat, even if she exhausts herself and painstakingly holds on, isn’t truly completely useless.

Believing or not believing, whether it’s true or not, it was just Claire Sullivan frantically weaving a beautiful dream, and this dream must not be destroyed by anyone, including her own daughter.

"They deliberately let me run; they wanted to watch me in my helpless and pitiful state after finding no escape."

Serena Sullivan didn’t listen to her. She turned to look at Serena Sullivan whose face had darkened, then continued.

"But they clearly didn’t expect you to return early."

"I heard your footsteps and quickly went downstairs to find you; just as I descended the stairs, Zoe Quinn rolled down from the middle of the staircase."

"Shut up!"

Claire Sullivan coldly shouted, angrily stopping Serena Sullivan from speaking further.

She hadn’t come here to hear Serena Sullivan say these things.

"Tell me, Zoe Quinn is so afraid of death; how could she roll down the stairs!" Serena Sullivan sneered, "She couldn’t even kill herself by slashing her wrists; would she really roll down the stairs on her own?"

"Didn’t even succeed in slashing her wrists! Serena Sullivan, do you really have to speak so harshly?!"

Claire Sullivan gritted her teeth, retorting.

She regretted why she had come to apologize to Serena Sullivan, and why she wanted to mend their relationship!

Even knowing, that four years ago Serena Sullivan didn’t plagiarize Zoe Quinn at The Brilliance Competition, their mother-daughter relationship couldn’t go back to the past!

Actually, it could return, but for Claire Sullivan it was impossible.

From the moment she realized Serena Sullivan’s face resembled that man’s so much, from the moment she realized Serena’s ruthless nature was just like that family’s, she knew she was afraid of this daughter.

"Harsh?" Serena Sullivan sneered, lowering her gaze to her wrist.

The wrist bore a watch gifted by Finn Chandler; the previous one, which Joel Quinn touched, she discarded.

She replaced it with a new one.

The habit of wearing a watch is not just for the recording and video functions Finn Chandler installed but also because it can cover the scars above.

Slashing wrists!

She too had attempted it!

Zoe Quinn used a fruit knife, but she used a broken bowl.

The bowl fragments were rough; she grasped them and forcefully slashed her wrist’s artery.

Unfortunately, Finn Chandler and Anna arrived, and she didn’t succeed.

The scar marks remained on the fair wrist.

"Claire Sullivan!"

Thinking of these, Serena Sullivan smiled slightly, the smile on her face turning thicker and thicker, "I didn’t push Zoe Quinn down the stairs, nor did she fall on her own."

"It was Joel Quinn behind Zoe who heard you come back and, to prevent you from suspecting him, deliberately pushed Zoe Quinn down."

"Serena Sullivan!"

Claire Sullivan shouted to stop, but Serena Sullivan didn’t stop and instead mocked, adding, "Then said it was me who did it!"

"Enough!"

Claire Sullivan didn’t want to hear any of this anymore; she stood up, looking coldly at Serena Sullivan.

Serena Sullivan smiled this time, agreeing with Claire Sullivan and not continuing further, instead complimenting the soup she made,

"It’s very tasty."
