Sebastian murmured her name softly, the darkness in his eyes gradually replaced by burning intrigue.
He gripped Isabella's chin, forcing her to look up and meet his gaze. "Isabella, tell me everything you know about her."
Isabella saw the twisted gleam of excitement flickering in his eyes.
Her heart dropped like a stone.
It was over...
Was... was he actually starting to develop an interest in Serena?
Why did that bitch always love to... steal everything that belonged to her?
Isabella was seething with fury.
But outwardly, she remained completely submissive, forcing a smile as she recounted Serena's story to Sebastian.
Naturally, she cherry-picked the details, weaving a web of half-truths.
She only talked about how manipulative and ruthless the other girl was, how she had deceived the Lancaster family, and how she had even managed to seduce Nicholas.
But she carefully hid everything she knew about Serena's outstanding abilities—her mastery of traditional medicine, her hacking skills, and more.
She intentionally mentioned Nicholas.
Hoping it would kill any thoughts Sebastian might have.
She deliberately concealed all of Serena's talents.
To ensure Sebastian didn't form a genuine fascination with a bitch like that.
Yet, as she spoke...
Sebastian's gaze clearly became more and more...
Twisted.
Mixed with a horrifyingly intense thrill.
Her throat tightened, a wave of panic rising in her chest.
When Isabella finally finished speaking.
Sebastian let out a low chuckle.
"Grew up in the countryside..."
"A bumpkin."
He chuckled again, releasing his grip on Isabella's chin, and leaned lazily back into the sofa.
A sinister light danced in his eyes.
Could a country girl really outsmart Isabella—a woman who had received twenty years of elite education—beating her so badly she was thrown out of the Lancaster family like a stray dog?
