CHAPTER 168: CHAPTER 167: FELL INTO A SCHEME

The girl in the sports car got out in a hurry, intending to check on the heavily damaged SUV’s rear, but turned her head and saw Serena Sullivan about to get in the car, and ran over to her.

"Serena, are you okay?"

Anna Morgan squatted down, frantically checking Serena Sullivan up and down.

Anna Morgan was well aware of how much Renee Grant looked down on Serena Sullivan.

Whenever the two families gathered, Renee Grant would always speak about Serena with disdain and contempt.

When she heard in the crew about Serena going to The Lockwood Family, she drove over immediately, so hastily that she didn’t notice the SUV in front and crashed into it when she braked hard.

She couldn’t care less about what state the SUV was in after she hit it!

Her dear Serena was the most important.

"She’s not hurt."

Even before Serena could respond, Ethan Grant chimed in.

"That’s good, that’s good."

Anna Morgan let out a sigh of relief, only raising her head then to see Ethan was there.

With Ethan the jerk protecting Serena, she should be fine. But then she remembered Renee isn’t Zoe Quinn; she’s Ethan’s sister, so she asked Serena again, "Are you really okay?"

"She brought you here, right! Didn’t let anyone lay hands on you!"

This showed a lack of trust in Ethan. Ethan’s expression turned a bit sour.

No way around it, his image in Anna Morgan and Finn Chandler’s minds was beyond repair.

"No one laid hands on me."

Serena Sullivan said, pressing her lips together, realizing that some things can’t be explained in just a few words. She thought what mattered most right now was not her own situation, but that Anna had crashed Carter Lockwood’s car.

"Anna, you crashed someone else’s car."

Anna was so focused on herself that she hadn’t noticed Carter Lockwood’s frightfully icy expression when she stepped out of the car.

The rumors about Carter being the poker-faced "King Yama" were indeed true.

"Oh!"

Reminded by Serena, Anna Morgan suddenly remembered how she had braked too hard and damaged someone else’s SUV.

She turned around and said to the driver checking the vehicle’s condition, "Sorry, I damaged your car!"

"Can you see how much the repair would cost?"

Having damaged the car, Anna Morgan was prepared to pay for the repairs.

"Just paying will do?"

A cold voice came through, making Anna Morgan shiver instinctively.

She turned her head to meet the pair of eyes that, besides being cold, held no other emotion, making her heartbeat race faster, and the phrase popped up in her mind, slipping out, "The Old Reaper."

Having been around Sean Lockwood for so many years, Anna Morgan knew he feared Uncle Carter the most.

The name "Lockwood Reaper" was constantly echoed in her ears.

Over time, seeing him made her reflexively think of those three words.

And indeed, she was genuinely afraid of this poker-faced Old Reaper.

As soon as she spoke, the surrounding atmosphere turned strange.

No one expected Anna Morgan to dare call Carter Lockwood "The Old Reaper" right in front of him,

"Ahem ahem," Serena Sullivan coughed slightly, signaling to Anna Morgan that she misspoke.

Ethan Grant glanced over at Carter Lockwood, worried he would retaliate against Anna Morgan.

Anna Morgan was Serena’s friend.

But Carter Lockwood kept a stern face and didn’t speak.

"Uncle, how much do you want?"

Anna Morgan realized her mistake, feeling wretched, knowing how embarrassing it was, hitting no other car but the Old Reaper’s.

It’s over, would he skin her alive?

Carter looked at the timid Anna Morgan, voice calming, "As for the repair cost, I’ll let you know once it’s been assessed at the repair shop."

With that, Carter turned, got into the car, and drove off in the wrecked SUV.
