Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1448

His mind was already turning, wondering exactly what kind of ring would best suit such beautiful fingers.

"Nicholas." Serena turned her head, admiring his stunning, aristocratic profile under the glittering chandeliers.

Nicholas immediately looked up. "Yes?"

Serena arched a brow. "Are you feeling smug?"

Nicholas cast a brief glance at the hostile brotherly trio and lowered his voice. "A little."

"After all, I finally have an official title. I can't help it."

Serena chuckled softly, lightly scratching the center of his palm with her fingertip.

A silent gesture of indulgence.

A galaxy of stars bloomed in Nicholas's eyes.

Right at that moment.

Nicholas's phone vibrated sharply.

Simultaneously.

A piercing alarm shrieked from Jasper's laptop resting on a nearby table.

A blazing red warning box flooded the screen.

The previously relaxed atmosphere instantly shattered, freezing over in a fraction of a second.

The annoyed scowl vanished from Jasper's face as he sprinted toward the laptop. "We've got a situation."

Nicholas's gaze darkened abruptly.

He glanced at the message on his phone, the lazy affection in his eyes instantly replaced by glacial hostility.

Sensing the shift, Julian stepped up beside Jasper. "What's wrong?"

Jasper's fingers flew across the keyboard as a cascade of red alerts multiplied on the screen.

"Damn it!" Jasper cursed under his breath. "Obsidian Sun is cutting their tails."

The expressions of everyone around the table hardened.

Serena slowly lifted her gaze, the languid relaxation fading from her eyes, leaving behind a sharp, deadly frost.
