Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 217

She was drowning in a sea of jealousy.

She just didn't get it.

It was obvious to anyone with eyes that she, the perfect top socialite of Vaelion City meticulously groomed by the Lancaster family, was a thousand, no, ten thousand times better than that country bumpkin, Serena!

So why would Nicholas...

Choose that country bumpkin!

In what way was she inferior to that girl?

She had always been gentle and fawning in front of Nicholas, showcasing her talents and capabilities.

For him, she strove to become more perfect, more formidable, all to secure her position as the matriarch of the Blackwood family and to show everyone that she was the most suitable person for him.

But... Nicholas was always lukewarm toward her, always overlooking her.

How did Serena so quickly convince Nicholas to acknowledge their childhood engagement and accept her as his fiancée?

Country bumpkins really did have a lot of tricks up their sleeves!

Even a man as noble as Nicholas had been deceived by her!

Meanwhile, in the brightly lit hall of the main house.

As soon as Serena and Nicholas stepped inside.

They saw Edward and Catherine sitting on the sofa, just as expected.

Old Mr. Lancaster wasn't there; he had probably been persuaded to go to his room to rest.

Seeing Serena, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Catherine came forward to greet them. "Serena, you're back!"

She then turned to Nicholas. "Nicholas, you're here too? Did you bring Serena home? Thank you so much. Colin, please get Nicholas a glass of water."

Nicholas, shedding his usual lazy and wicked demeanor, smiled in a reserved and gentle manner. "It was no trouble at all, Mrs. Lancaster. It's my duty to bring Serena home."

The implication was crystal clear.

But the moment her hand was in the air, Catherine grabbed it with a pained expression, treating it with extreme care. "Alright, alright, Mom believes you. Just don't move it. We'll have Dr. Samuel Arden come take a look later."

"Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster, please don't worry. It's just a superficial wound, and it's already been treated," Nicholas said, his head slightly bowed. "It was my oversight. I apologize."

This scene was witnessed by Isabella, who had emerged from her room and was standing in the corner of the stairs.

She was so jealous she could have burst.

Her eyes turned red with envy.

It was one thing for her parents to be so concerned about Serena.

But Nicholas actually lowered himself to treat that country bumpkin's wound?

She had never even had Nicholas tend to one of her injuries.

Why did Serena get to?!

When did they become so close?!
