Accidentally Yours (Serena and Harrison) novel Chapter 6

"Mr. Spencer…" Serena's chest tightened at the mention of Harrison's name.

"Yes." Pierce's voice sounded again. "Mr. Spencer would like you to drop by Bluewater Corporation when you have the time. He has some matters to discuss with you."

At this invitation, the hope that had been extinguished was reignited again. Harrison suddenly wanted to see her and said he had something to discuss… Did this mean he had changed his mind and decided to marry her?

Serena quickly replied, "I'll be there in an hour."

Pierce said, "Once you arrive, you can contact me with this number."

"Okay," Serena responded.

She didn't waste any time after ending the call. Serena tied her hair up with a hairpin and changed into a pale blue, form-fitting dress.

The color was elegant and refined, reminiscent of a delicate wash of ink, soft and ethereal. It enhanced her fair complexion and made her look all the more delicate and captivating. The high collar and structured buttons were just enough to conceal the love bites on her collarbone.

Once dressed, Serena made her way downstairs. As she reached the corner of the stairs, an unpleasant voice quietly drifted from the living room to her ears.

"Serena, that little wretch! I don't know what she's pretending to be."

Serena immediately stopped in her tracks.

"We raised her all these years. We're only asking her to do us a favor by sleeping with Mr. Hood for a night. What's the problem with that?" Helena's words dripped with disdain and contempt for Serena, her voice cold and biting.

Charles shot Helena an annoyed glance and lowered his voice in warning. "Keep it down, or she'll hear you."

"So what if she hears? Am I wrong?" Helena appeared completely unconcerned. "For Mr. Hood to take a liking to her is the luck of a lifetime! Does she really think she's worthy of those wealthy young heirs?"

Charles remained silent.

"Give me a break!" Helena's words remained sharp as ever. Her speech grew increasingly harsh and cutting. "Do you think she's chaste and pure? I just saw the love bites on her neck. Who knows which shady man she was fooling around with last night?"

Serena, who had been hiding around the corner and eavesdropping, clenched her fists so tightly her nails dug into her palms. Her usually gentle eyes were now filled with intense hatred.

She managed to calm herself and push aside all her emotions after a while. Then, she acted as if nothing had happened and walked down the stairs, resuming her descent.

"Uncle Charles," Serena greeted Charles softly.

Charles gave her a slight nod, his expression cold. He was just as unfriendly toward her.

"How do you plan to handle things with Mr. Hood?" He got straight to the point.

Serena didn't say much and only gave him a vague response. "I'll take care of it."

Charles pursed his lips, his sharp gaze lingering on her for a moment.

Then, in a commanding tone, he said to Serena, "I'm giving you two days. I don't care what methods you use, but I expect to see the Letter of Intent for the Eastside development project after two days."

Serena responded calmly, "Okay, I understand."

Finally, she deliberately reminded him, "I hope you and Aunt Helena will keep your word."
