Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 653

The voice was clear and melodious.

Though it wasn't loud, it carried an undeniable, commanding presence that demanded attention.

The hospital suite instantly fell silent.

Douglas, who had his phone in hand ready to dial his subordinates, froze completely at the sound.

That voice...

It sounded incredibly familiar.

He looked up.

With just one glance, his usually unshakeable dark eyes contracted sharply.

The girl standing in the doorway had a slender, striking figure. She wore a simple white t-shirt and jeans. A baseball cap shadowed half of her face, but it did nothing to conceal the cool, untouchable aura she radiated.

Seeing everyone staring at her.

The girl reached up and pulled off the cap, revealing a makeup-free face that was nothing short of breathtaking.

A waterfall of long hair cascaded freely down her back.

Her expression was lazy and detached, yet polite.

Her features were absolutely flawless—striking, radiant, and intensely captivating.

Her face was unfamiliar to him.

But... those eyes.

Aloof, arrogant, and piercingly sharp.

They were identical to the woman in the silver mask he had just seen at the underground auction...

Exactly the same.

The very same woman who had the audacity to bid against him, and after losing the auction, had resorted to brute force to snatch a billion-dollar microchip right out of his hands.

Exactly the same.

This insanely skilled, audacious woman who had handed him his first real defeat.

"Why are you so late? Did you get lost? I was just telling Grandpa and Grandma that you might have trouble finding the hospital since you don't speak the language. I even asked Uncle Douglas to go look for you."

Taking on the air of the household's welcoming host, she began her introductions. "These are our grandparents. You really need to apologize to them. Everyone skipped lunch and has been terribly worried just waiting for you."

"And this is our Uncle Douglas. He was just about to call some friends to track you down."

She kept rattling on.

Her hand was inches away from touching Serena.

She knew full well Serena would never let herself be touched.

That was the whole point.

She wanted her grandparents and uncle to witness exactly how poorly Serena treated her on a daily basis.

If she could make her grandparents despise Serena before her mother arrived in the United States.

Serena would be completely isolated.

She could use her grandparents' disdain to crush whatever pathetic self-esteem Serena had left.
