Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 536

It was at the coming-of-age party.

Although her relationship with the Lancaster family hadn't been publicly announced, she had spent most of the evening standing with them.

That alone had attracted a lot of attention.

Especially after her identity as Ghost Doctor was revealed.

She guessed many people were now speculating about her true background.

And the Lancaster family, whom she had been so close with at the party, would naturally be the first ones they looked at.

"That's right," Catherine said, her face beaming with pride. "My daughter is so exceptional that every single one of them has their eyes on you, desperate to find out who you are and what your connection to the Blackwood family is. Everything they said... was a hint that they wanted to arrange a marriage between you and one of their children."

A marriage alliance?

The title of Ghost Doctor was certainly enough to drive those top-tier, wealthy families into a frenzy.

After all, the richer people were, the more they feared death.

Serena's expression was one of helpless amusement as she smiled. "I originally didn't want to have a welcome-home party precisely to avoid causing you trouble. I didn't think I'd be able to escape it after all."

"What trouble is this? This is the kind of trouble we're happy to have." Catherine shifted in her seat to face Serena directly. "I've been getting so many probing calls today, and it just got me thinking..."

She placed her hands on the table, her eyes gentle but with a hint of inquiry. "Serena, how did you feel dancing with Nicholas today? Your father and I watched that boy grow up. He's a good person, and his abilities are truly outstanding..."

As she spoke, Edward secretly tugged on his wife's sleeve under the table, his eyes wide.

Outstanding or not!

That... that didn't mean that brat could just whisk his precious daughter away!

Catherine glared at him, telling him to shut up. "This is between Serena and that boy, Nicholas. Alright, alright, let Serena finish eating and get some rest. Look at the time."

Catherine stopped Serena from clearing her plate and utensils. "No, no, our dear Serena is the hero of the day. You must be exhausted. Go on up and rest."

Serena couldn't argue with her mother and obediently agreed.

As she reached the second floor,

Serena raised an eyebrow, glancing at Black Jack, who was leaning against the railing with both hands, holding a piece of cake bigger than her face, and munching away.

Serena said, "Heard enough?"

Black Jack's cheeks were puffed out. After a forceful swallow, her alluring, beautiful eyes curved into a crescent as she shot Serena a wink.
