Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 52

Hailey bit her lower lip, desperately trying to control her jealousy-contorted face, and tugged on a still-dazed Logan beside her.

"Logan… D-did I do something wrong?"

Her tearful, pitiful look softened Logan's heart.

He glanced at Serena, then remembered that the Wynn family had now forged a connection with the Lancaster family, which gave them a bit of standing in front of Nicholas.

Logan took a deep breath and, forcing a stiff, fawning smile, said to Nicholas, "Mr… Blackwood… you may not know this, but this… Serena, was once my sister. This is really just a small private matter of ours."

"I heard you have close ties with the Lancaster family of Vaelion City. And since the Lancaster family has taken the initiative to partner with us, it's not impossible that we might work with you in the future, Mr. Blackwood. We're all friends here. There's no need to ruin the harmony between our families over such a trivial matter, don't you think?"

He deliberately emphasized "the Lancaster family."

He was also trying to boost his own importance by mentioning that the Lancasters had approached the Wynns for a partnership.

Nicholas looked as if he'd just heard a fascinating joke. He let out a soft scoff, his lazy, devilish eyes flicking toward Logan.

His thin lips curved into a cold, humorless smile. "Oh? Are you… using the Lancaster family to threaten me?"

It was just a detached, cool glance, but it made Logan feel as if he'd been plunged into an ice cellar. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Logan's heart nearly stopped. His throat felt constricted, and he couldn't utter another word.

"Hah."

A sudden, sharp scoff cut through the tense atmosphere.

Everyone followed the sound.

They saw the strikingly beautiful girl holding her phone, her slender white fingers tapping casually on the screen.

Her expression was nonchalant, and a frigid smirk played on her lips. "Trying to climb the ladder using the Lancaster family?"

Her lips curled as she spoke in a calm, indifferent tone.

Then she raised her hand and held up five fingers.

"Five seconds."
