Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 554

Alfred was taken aback.

His professional training kept his voice respectful. “Miss Isabella, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

Isabella clenched her fists. “You’re Serena’s lapdog! Now that you see me losing my position, you want to kick me while I’m down, is that it? Let me tell you, even if I’ve lost favor now, it’s only temporary! Alfred, you’ve been in this family for years. You of all people should understand the place I hold in everyone’s hearts!”

“Serena has only managed to fool everyone for a short time!”

She ground her teeth and sneered. “We’ll see who has the last laugh!”

Finished, she turned away from Alfred and ordered the maids supporting her, “Take me upstairs!”

The little drama didn’t affect Serena and the others’ breakfast at all.

But as they ate, Black Jack slung an arm around her shoulder, wiggling her eyebrows with a grin. In a voice only the two of them could hear, she said, “Looks like last night was a success. It’s rare to see you sleep in this late.”

Serena swallowed her food, turned slightly to look at Black Jack, and curved her lips into a small smile. “Yes, my dear friend. I will be sure to thank you properly.”

She emphasized the word “properly.”

That smile sent a chill down Black Jack’s spine.

For a moment, she could have sworn she saw the Devil herself making a comeback.

Black Jack was speechless.

Her hand slid off Serena’s shoulder, and she scooted away, ready to make a run for it.

Serena caught her hand, her smile deepening. “Dear friend, don’t be in such a hurry to leave. Let me finish my breakfast, and then… I’ll take you out to play.”

Black Jack fell silent.

This is bad.
