CHAPTER 561: CHAPTER 561: HOW WILL THE LITTLE GIRL SOOTHE HIM?

When he saw the girl’s right hand wrapped up like a rice dumpling, the hostility emanating from Damian Quinn intensified.

Instinctively, Serena Everett wanted to hide her right hand, but quickly realized this was just wishful thinking.

"Pfft..."

Watching the scene unfold, Jude Ford couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

He never thought in his lifetime he’d see his boss acting timid. It was incredibly rare!

Hearing the laughter, Serena shot a cold glance over, brimming with intimidation.

Faced with the girl’s menacing gaze, Jude immediately stifled his laughter, struggling to hold it in.

"Sorry, boss, couldn’t help it just now!"

The girl’s extremely beautiful fox-like eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Funny, is it?"

"Ahem... Not funny at all!" Jude, filled with a strong will to live, shook his head repeatedly, "I just didn’t expect the boss to have fearful moments!"

"Who said I was afraid?"

Serena pressed her red lips together firmly, rebutting.

Afraid? No way!

Ahem... Just a bit guilty is all!

Hearing this, Jude suppressed his laughter and sensibly shut his mouth.

I’d better keep quiet, or else the boss might fly into a rage and silence me!

Serena’s eyes landed on him, "You told him?"

"Huh?" Realizing what she meant, Jude immediately pleaded, "Not me! Boss, it really wasn’t me, I’ve been wronged!"

Yelling so loudly, it seemed he really wasn’t the one who leaked it.

Serena withdrew her gaze, not arguing any further with Jude.

Meanwhile, the man was already striding over, his presence rather overwhelming.

"Boss, take care of yourself. Ahem... I’m off!"

As soon as he said this, Jude was trembling as he quickly made his escape.

Tsk.

Serena clicked her tongue lightly against her back teeth.

Spineless guy, he sure can run fast!

Watching the man stride towards her, Serena initially thought she was in for a lecture, but to her surprise, his first reaction upon reaching her was to check her hand.

Seeing the undisguisable concern in the man’s eyes, Serena felt a warm current rise in her heart and immediately spoke.

"Don’t worry, it’s not a serious injury."

Upon hearing this, Damian Quinn still carefully examined her hand, only relaxing a bit after confirming it was just extravagantly bandaged.

Yet, that captivatingly handsome face remained tense.

"Got hurt and still wanted to hide it from your brother?"

If he hadn’t gone to the lab to pick her up, learned from Dr. Montague that she had left earlier, and checked her whereabouts, who knows how long she would have kept him in the dark!

The girl’s beautiful eyes blinked lightly, unconcerned, "It’s just a small wound, no need to worry you."

Compared to the injuries she’d had in the past, this was really nothing.

Hearing this, the man’s jaw tightened even more, and the chill around him deepened.

His little girl was great at everything except she was too independent, never relying on him at all!

Whether it was today’s injury or the End Material situation, she never thought to discuss it with him, preferring to handle it all by herself.

Noticing the man’s off-kilter emotions, Serena asked, "Are you angry?"

Damian Quinn’s mesmerizing peach blossom eyes fixed on her, inexplicably radiating a bit of grievance, and he nodded, "Yeah."

"Then let me make it up to you."

Hearing this, Damian Quinn’s eyebrows slightly raised, forcing down an inner anticipation, and continued to keep a straight face.

He was curious to see how the little girl intended to appease him.

He wasn’t that easy to pacify!
