In front of Obsidian Palace.
The flashy, fluorescent blue sports car pulled to a stop, drawing the attention of countless onlookers.
The neon lights were blinding, and the faint throb of heavy metal music filled the air.
Brian got out of the car, clutching his stomach and grimacing. He shoved a dark gold keycard into Serena's hand. “Serena, I can't... You go on up first. This is the access card for Elysium Lounge. It goes straight to the top floor, Suite One. The guys are all waiting!"
"I've gotta go take care of some urgent business!"
Without waiting for her reply, he was already hunched over, scurrying away with a clenched backside.
Serena was at a loss for words.
She pocketed the card and walked straight towards Elysium Lounge, the new venue inside Obsidian Palace. It was a top-tier luxury area, a place only the truly powerful and influential could enter.
Just as she stepped into the opulent, dimly lit lobby, she heard a voice exclaim, "Hey? Isn't that Serena?"
Serena lazily lifted her gaze and saw Logan Wynn, the fourth son of the Wynn family, wearing a pair of pretentious sunglasses with his arm around Hailey, who was dressed in a designer white dress. They were walking toward her.
Four of their followers trailed behind them, swarming forward to block Serena's path.
When Logan saw Serena, his disgust and contempt were unconcealed. "What are you doing here?"
"Serena, this is... the most extravagant and luxurious club in Vaelion City. Why did you follow us here?" Hailey, in her little white dress and with perfect makeup and hair, almost looked like a little princess.
Her face was full of concern, but her voice was grating. "It's very expensive here. You just went back to your birth parents in the countryside... You should be properly adjusting to your new environment."
Her voice was soft.
But as she got closer to Serena, her eyes were filled with a sense of superiority and schadenfreude.
"You're a country bumpkin. Instead of staying in the countryside, you come to a den of extravagance like Obsidian Palace. Can you even afford it?" Logan sneered, his eyes scornfully sweeping over Serena from head to toe.
Her simple white t-shirt and black pants looked completely out of place here.
"Hailey, you're just too kind. I think
she's still clinging to false hopes! She knew we were coming to Obsidian Palace today, so she came here specifically to bother us." Logan then looked up at Serena with disdain. "Weren't you so tough when you signed the papers to sever ties? It hasn't even been that long. Can't handle it anymore?"
"You harassed our brother at Starlight Royal Medical Center this morning, and now you're stalking us all the way here. You want to beg us to let you back into the Wynn family, right?"

"Logan, don't talk to her like that...” Hailey tugged on Logan's arm, then turned to Serena. "Sister, I know you don't want to go back to the countryside and live a hard life, but they are your real family after all You can't just abandon them because the Wynn family is wealthy."
She then took a card out of her designer handbag. "This is the allowance Mom gave
me. There's a hundred thousand dollars in it. Take it and leave."
Before the card even reached Serena, Logan grabbed her hand. “Hailey, why are you giving her money? Dad already offered her money, and she was too proud to take it. Why should we give her anything?!"
He narrowed his eyes, a malicious sneer forming on his lips. “Who knows... maybe she's here for your fiancé."
"Adrian?" Hailey covered her mouth
in surprise. Then her eyes reddened, and she bit her lip, looking pitifully at Serena Serena, I know you
Adrian but he's my fat
my fiancé now. For
you to keep pestering him like this is just so shameless..."
She might as well have tattooed the words "homewrecker" on Serena's forehead.
