Serena raised an eyebrow, looking at him.
Douglas curled his lip, his gaze lowering to her with a half-smile.
Their eyes met.
Douglas's eyes were filled with amusement.
He was waiting.
Waiting for this arrogant girl to yield.
He wanted to see what it looked like when the girl who dared to fleece him of a billion dollars finally backed down.
But Serena suddenly let out a soft laugh.
That smile brought a vivid, captivating warmth to her aloof and stunning features.
"Douglas, I think you've misunderstood something."
Douglas was momentarily dazzled by her smile. "What?"
Serena scoffed, her clear eyes full of disdain. "I'm not begging to join their circle. They are begging me to."
She turned and walked straight toward the hotel, her voice icy. "If they want my presence, they need to show the proper attitude."
Douglas watched her retreating figure, unable to hold back a chuckle. "Interesting."
He closed the distance with his long strides, smiling faintly. "I thought you'd be eager to fit in with them."
"A bunch of trust-fund babies wasting their parents' money on childish games. You think a circle like that is worthy of my time?" Serena sneered, her expression completely indifferent.
Douglas let out another light laugh. "True. Someone who can hustle a billion dollars without blinking an eye definitely wouldn't care for their little playground games."
At the mention of the billion dollars.
Serena's steps faltered slightly.
She rubbed her nose.
