Chapter 229

• Albert smiled politely but with a hint of mischief in his tone. “If anything were to happen to Miss Serena here at the Fragrance Hotel, it would reflect poorly on all of us. Why don’t we head upstairs and check on her together?”
• Serena’s eyes lit up momentarily before she quickly masked her excitement with a look of concern. This was exactly what she wanted—more people witnessing what was about to unfold. The larger the audience, the greater the humiliation for Liza.
• Standing to the side, Victoria’s lips curved into a cold and sinister smile. She could hardly contain her anticipation. The humiliation that awaited Liza would be the perfect spectacle. It reminded her of the past when she had dealt with another thorn in her side. That woman had met her end at Victoria’s hands, and now her daughter, Liza, would suffer a similar fate—though this time in a public and disgraceful manner.
