Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 57

Nicholas must have been coming to visit Grandpa, but something urgent came up, so he left!

Yes! That has to be it!

Isabella repeated this to herself over and over, finally managing to calm her emotions.

She urgently grabbed Alfred's arm and instructed, "Alfred, remember this. From now on, if you see Nicholas's car anywhere near the Lancaster estate, you must inform me immediately! Do you understand?"

She had been in love with Nicholas for many, many years.

And now…

Serena's return had made her own position in the family incredibly awkward.

It was as if Serena had cast a spell on her grandfather and parents; they all favored her now.

She had to win over Nicholas. It would be best if she could successfully marry into the Blackwood family. Only then… only then could she solidify her position within the Lancaster family and never lose the place that was supposed to be hers alone!

Alfred glanced at the hand gripping his arm tighter and tighter. He frowned slightly and discreetly pulled his arm away before nodding respectfully. "Of course, Miss Isabella."

Upstairs, Serena walked into her fantastical room, a space filled with lace and an explosion of girly pink, without a change in her expression.

She placed the gift from her brother on the desk, then pulled a specially modified laptop from her canvas bag.

She opened it.

Her slender, fair fingers flew across the keyboard.

The screen lit up, and she immediately logged into an encrypted channel, where a complex authentication screen appeared.

If anyone else had been there to see that authentication screen, they would have gasped in shock.

It was the access portal for a national core research facility!

Serena's fingers danced across the keyboard, a blur of motion as she entered a string of extremely complex commands. The screen instantly switched to another terminal window, where streams of code cascaded down like a waterfall.

Without the slightest hesitation, her fingers moved at an astonishing speed.
