Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 76

Sure enough, Mr. Harrison's furrowed brow relaxed. He turned to look at Serena. "Your sister?"

Serena didn't even look up, her voice flat. "Not really."

"Oh." The answer made it clear to Mr. Harrison that Serena wanted nothing to do with Isabella.

His attitude toward Isabella, which had just softened, turned cold once again.

A chill went down Isabella's spine, and she shot a resentful glare at Serena.

She had already stooped to acknowledging Serena, this country bumpkin, as her sister, and Serena still had the gall to deny it?

Serena was clearly doing this on purpose to embarrass her in front of Mr. Harrison, to stop her from becoming his student!

Could she be any more jealous?

She really didn't understand… why on earth would Mr. Harrison hold Serena in such high regard?

"Serena, how do you know Mr. Harrison?!"

Her eyes were filled with unconcealed resentment and suspicion. "Why do you have clearance to enter the institute? Who… who are you?!"

Serena finally stopped.

Under the cold moonlight, the girl's striking features seemed as remote as a goddess's.

When she slowly lifted her eyes, her cool gaze was devoid of emotion, yet as it fell on Isabella, it carried an unnerving, heart-stopping pressure.
