Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 484

Did they really think they could bully the Lancaster family’s treasure and get away with it? Julian was already secretly devising a hundred different ways to set his trap.

“Was everything smooth on your end, brother?” Serena asked.

Julian knew what she was asking and nodded.

“What’s with all the cryptic talk between you two?” Old Mr. Lancaster narrowed his eyes, his suspicious gaze shifting back and forth between them.

His granddaughter had suddenly gone to the restroom and been gone for half an hour. His eldest grandson had claimed he was going to console Isabella and stop her from obsessing, but then he disappeared too. When he returned, he stayed glued to the side of his wheelchair, constantly asking things like—

“Grandpa, how are you feeling?”

“Grandpa, do you feel any discomfort?”

“Grandpa, if you feel even slightly unwell, you have to tell me immediately.”

Connecting this to Serena’s sudden and prolonged absence, Old Mr. Lancaster had a faint guess about what had happened.

“It’s nothing, Grandpa,” Serena said with a smile, meeting his questioning gaze. “I just asked my brother for a little help.”

Old Mr. Lancaster stared at Serena for a few seconds before holding out his hand. “Serena, come here.”

Black Jack’s eyes sparkled. She clasped Catherine’s hands with both of hers. “For real, ma’am? Can I really live at the Lancaster residence and be with my darling Serena every day?”

Her eagerness was adorable. The more Catherine looked at her daughter’s best friend, the more she liked her. She nodded. “Of course it’s real. It’s rare for Serena to introduce us to a friend. Since you’re her best friend, you’re like another daughter to me!”

Black Jack immediately seized the opportunity. “Mom!”

Catherine blinked, surprised by how straightforward the young woman was. A moment later, she burst out laughing. “Yes! Good girl, Hazel!”

It wasn't as if she would accept just anyone who came up to her and acted cute. If that were the case, she’s have enough daughters to line the streets of Vaelion City.
