Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 338

It sounded like someone covered his mouth and pushed him away.

Immediately after, Serena's voice came through. "I should be able to wrap things up here in the next day or two. I'll be home soon."

"I'm still busy here, so I have to go. Don't worry about me. I'm fine."

Julian offered a few more words of caution before hanging up.

He turned to look at his family, who were all staring at him, and explained, "Nicholas also has a position at the institute, so I asked him to help look after Serena. Since they're together, there shouldn't be any problems."

Catherine patted her chest. "I trust Nicholas. It's good to know Serena is okay."

Old Mr. Lancaster's expression also softened slightly.

Then, his sharp eyes slowly turned to the pale-faced Isabella.

He narrowed his eyes, his tone severe. "Isabella, from now on, do not go around recklessly prying into matters of national security. As a daughter of the Lancaster family, your every word and action represents us. You must always be cautious and discreet."

"What if someone with ill intentions had exploited what you did today? Do you realize how much trouble that could have brought upon the Lancaster family?"

He paused, his sharp gaze carrying a pointed warning. "Just mind your own business. You don't need to concern yourself so much with Serena's affairs."

This was, without a doubt, a warning.

Isabella's face grew even paler, her fingers curling unconsciously as her heart pounded.

Could it be… Grandfather had seen through her?

Before she could even think of an excuse…

Old Mr. Lancaster clutched his chest and looked at Julian. "Julian, wheel me back to my bedroom to rest."

Isabella's lips trembled.

Watching Julian push their grandfather's wheelchair toward the bedroom, she had no choice but to turn her attention to Catherine.

Her eyes reddened, her expression a mix of pure innocence and grievance. "Mom, I just got worried about Serena after hearing what my friend said. I really didn't mean anything else by it…"

As she spoke, her voice began to choke up.
