Chapter 1470


    "What on earth was Serena doing in the basement?" Darren couldn''t help but ask.


    "Probably heard some noise, or caught one of the staff gossiping. You know how curious she is.


    Wanted to check it out for herself. Bard already gave those chatterboxes a good talking-to."


    Eunice gently rubbed Darren''s back, careful not to rile him further.


    Darren finally eased up a bit, no longer as stiff as it had been moments ago.


    "No wonder the poor girl had nightmaresst night." Darren mumbled with newfound rity, "She''s


    never been exposed to anything like that, and those folks locked up in the basement must''ve scared


    her witless."


    He remembered how Serena had curled up in a corner of the study the previous night, crying pitifully.


    She must have been terrified!


    "I should talk to her grandma, have herfort Serena. Help her forget all this sooner rather than


    As Darren spoke, a light bulb went off in his head, "Why not have her and Be head back home first?


    The holidays are just around the corner. They can go ahead, and we''ll join them at Reflections Vi for


    a reunion once your mom and I are back in fighting shape."


    Eunice looked at him, speechless. Was he sure he’s all better now??


    Who was it that nearly had a heart attack just a while ago??


    "You''ve got a whole mess of trouble locked up in that basement; just make sure Be doesn''t see."


    Darren expressed his concern.


    Even though Be had already seen the extent of his siblings'' cruelty in the hospital, the ruthless killing


    of so many people.


    But such bloody and brutal scenes were best avoided, especially for a teenager like Be.


    If Darren knew that Be was the leader and had seen such horrific scenes hundreds of times, he''d


    probably worry his heart out even more.


    Eunice had only learned of Be''s capabilities through stories Bard had told her. The way Be had


    orchestrated things to expose Calvin and Arlen and others, it made her realize the girl was


    extraordinary.


    And when her husband revealed that Be was Mr. Bryant, Eunice saw her in a whole new light.


    "That settles it then. Let''s have them go back to the States. This way, Romeo and Martin can get back


    to business there. They can get a head start on work and enjoy the holidays together without having to


    revolve around the girls, putting off their responsibilities."


    Darren thought it was an excellent n and nodded in agreement, ready to discuss it with his better


    half.


    Eunice nced at Bard, a tad worried. If Serena was involved in all this, sending her back would be like


    freeing the tiger back into the wild.


    Bard, sensing her thoughts, reassured her, "Right now, she''s all tears and no talk. If it really is her, and

    she ms up, denying everything, we''ve got no evidence. We''d have to let her go either way, right?"


    They couldn''t very well lock up a girl they''d cherished for eighteen years and subject her to a barrage of


    interrogations, could they?


    Besides, Serena''s life had always been sheltered, untainted. Given her strength, courage, and


    connections, it seemed unlikely she''d be involved in any foul y.


    Just then, Bard''s phone buzzed. After taking the call, he turned to Eunice and said, "Be''s start-up,


    the Ar-Bl-Clear Group, has just topped the charts, surpassing all the major brands. Their skincare line


    is now ranked number one."
