Chapter 257 - I had a dream about a burning house

Hearing how certain Seraphina spats her threat, George Yue entered a new height of panic in his heart. Altering his gaze on the table knife that was fixed standing erect in between the crack plate, he gulped a mouthful of saliva.

Does she mean that she will kill him herself? Literally murdering him? Indeed, Seraphina's audacity reached its peak and even spats a very ridiculous joke or is she bluffing? George Yue was mind boggled on what to believe and what shouldn't.

After all, killing someone takes a lot of vicious and strong emotions to take someone life. Even to him, he might probably order someone to kill her but he can't do it himself. Alas, what George Yue don't realize that there isn't a huge difference of ordering someone to assassinate someone and doing it himself.

Examining his mix expression of fear and shock, the corners of Seraphina's pink albeit crack lips curled upward. After all, George Yue's expression tells her what he was exactly thinking. 'Right, George. Be confused -- believe it or not, but I am itching to drag you to hell.'

"By the way, you should live here too. I want to continue my Gramps legacy by rescuing stray dogs." She uttered in a completely blunt tone as if she wasn't insulting him right in front of his face. Raising her brows as a wide smug grin is plastered across her face, Seraphina tilts her head in anticipation. She added in urgency,

"What do you think, Uncle?"

"Huh, bullshit! I refuse." George Yue isn't out of his mind to agree with her as he knew what she was planning. Hence, no matter how Seraphina intimidates him by spewing hazardous words -- he will never give in and let her keep a close watch on him.

"Hmm? Alright. I was just you know, thinks that this house is the safest place for you. Lately, I've been having nightmares about a never-ending flame." shaking her head, Seraphina heavily sighs as if the whole world wronged her.

George Yue who was witnessing her disheartened act can't help his eyes to twitch. Who is she scamming by pretending to be a concern niece now after all the threats she blurted out? Just then, his phone vibrated that was inside his suit pocket. Raising his brows, George Yue subconsciously peered at Seraphina in caution.

Smiling as she nods as if giving him permission from his silent excuse, George Yue scoffs in dismay. Though he wasn't asking for her warrant of letting him answer his incoming call because he will pick it up anyway and leave the delusional girl -- alas, his expression shows otherwise.

Seeing the caller ID of his assistant, George Yue cast a disdain glance at Seraphina before turning his back on him attempting to leave. Answering the call on the way, George Yue halts on his tracks the moment he heard his personal assistant news.

Slowly turning his head towards Seraphina who is now faintly singing while her left hand is propping on her chin as the other hand fiddles a fork and plays with the food that was left on her plate.

"I had a dream about a burning house

You were stuck inside~"

"Because I locked the door,

watch it being eaten by the flames

And you went up to a smoke~"

Seraphina sang and changed the lyrics of the song of her own lyrics. Sensing that George Yue must probably hear the news, she repeated the lyrics over and over again with a subtle smile on her face.

Staggering his steps back to Seraphina's direction as George Yue slowly puts down his phone and turned it off -- he muttered. "What did you do?"

"And you went up to a smo -- huh? What did I do?" Seraphina slowly raised her questionable gaze as if she was the most innocent person in the world. Feigning her ignorance and unaware front but knowing eyes gleamed just seeing that she finally broke the first defense of George.

[At George Yue's villa]

Rex watched the burning villa not far away. His body and face were covered with black cloth and only the mole under his exquisite eyes can be seen. Soon, firefighters came rushing to a certain residence and try to extinguish the fire.

Earlier, he received a message from his boss to set this house on flames and make sure that no one is inside. Hence, without any questions, Rex executed the order precisely as what he was told.

"The boss and Riggs can compete who's the big spender among us." Wren who just came up behind Rex shakes his head seeing a valued property of the Yue family being eaten by the huge fire.

Surely, Seraphina has an odd way of reeling and wrapping the people she wanted to play on her web. After all, this estate still came from the pockets of her company.

"That is why you exist." rex cast Wren a quick side glance before uttering his comment about the peculiarity of their boss and how big of a spender she is -- just like Riggs who can be a millionaire at night and be penniless the next day.

"Aiya, this poor big earner -- how can I sustain all your lifestyles? Let's go grab some bite?" Wren sighed hearing the truth from Rex thus, to make himself a little better, he invited Rex who was still intently watching the people who were extinguishing the fire that he started.

"*sigh* I am lost of words," Wren mumbles before getting back on his car as Rex silently rejected his offer.
