Chapter 258 - you are you

"Stop your nonsense! I know it was you who set my villa on fire!" George Yue shouted through his gritted teeth. He wasn't born yesterday to not know that it was Seraphina's doing yet, she acts as if she hadn't done anything wrong.

Thinking about it, his hand balled into a fist and his neatly cut nails dug to his palm. Slowly, his blood began to boil as his veins exhibits on his head and of the back of his hand indicating how vexed he was. If one could see him right now, they could tell that he just needed a little push for him to snap and lash out.

"What? Your house is on fire?" blinking her eyes for a couple of times, Seraphina seems to be shocked by the news. She added, "My, my, it's good that you weren't there."

Her last remarks were akin to the last straw of George Yue's patience and he snapped. Taking rigid strides towards Seraphina, the moment he closed their gaps, he raised his hands and was about to slap her.

That instant, George Yue's mind was filled with grudges he held for a long time towards her father and for the whole Yue family. Hence, he acted out without considering other things because the violent nature within him was awakened.

However, George Yue soon realized that his action is not a great idea as a searing pain stabbed on his palm without a bit of hesitation and no holding back. If only the fork is sharp enough, it will surely penetrate through the back of his hand.

"Ahhhh!" he exclaimed as his hand stiffens and trembles by the shock of the fork stabbed in his palm. His eyes widen and veins from it prop up while he continues to squeal like a little girl.

On the other hand, Seraphina was devoid of emotion as if she didn't stab him. Seeing him in pain, it rather amused her instead of feeling empathetic. Though she didn't expect him to be aggressive and would actually raise his hands at her, still, it came out as a nice stress reliever.

"tsk tsk. why would you hurt me? I haven't done anything to you, Uncle." Seraphina spoke as George Yue absorbs the pain coming from his palm. Mix emotions came rushing to him as he can't believe that Seraphina did stab him -- for real.

Now, her words earlier have proven their existence that Seraphina is indeed serious about the threats she uttered. "You --!" George Yue wanted to curse her alas, probably because he wanted to say tons of stuff that he doesn't know where to start.

"Uncle, my offer still exist you know." referring about her offer of his stay in the Yue family grounds, Seraphina meekly smiled as if she was actually doing some good merits. Alas, she can't fool anyone as she already shows her true intention -- which she doesn't care as that is what she wanted; for them to live in fear.

Pulling the fork out from his palm with great effort, George Yue's breathing became even more ragged as he clenched his teeth. Glaring daggers at the innocent face of Seraphina, he hissed. "You will regret this!"

"Well, the moment you step outside the premises means that the offer will be void." Seraphina reminded to George who was stamping his feet away from her. He needed to leave this person this instant or she will kill him for sure -- that is what George Yue was only thinking about as he scats away holding his injured palm.

As he rushed outside the Yue Mansion, another vindication was made by George as he will not let this matter slip just like that. Surely, the threats Seraphina though it frightens him a little, he will not back down.

'Seraphina Yue -- I will kill you! I will let you join your father in hell!'

----

The moment that George Yue was out of her sight, Seraphina sat down again to the head seat. Moving her gaze to the empty dining table, she spoke.

"come out."

Soon, just as she speaks her words, a person on the shadow came into sight -- it was none other than Ace. Staring at her with a blank expression, Ace neither spoke a word. Though it surprised him that Seraphina sensed his presence on the shadows and witnessed everything -- he cannot let go of that fact that she bears a dangerous nature within her.

"Who the hell are you?" after a brief silence, Ace inquired as his senses heightened just in case she attempts to strike him. After all, he had seen and heard their whole conversation. Placing his right hand to his pocket, Ace leaned on the pillar to conceal his hostility towards her.

"I am me." Raising her eyes to meet his, Seraphina immediately retracted them as she showed her relax and display that she had no intention to strike him. After all, aside from Jack who has trust issues -- Ace is probably the worst.

One of the reasons why Seraphina doesn't reveal her identity as Luciano because she can foresee the whole drama that Ace was about to make. Unlike Wren who can be easily talked out like it was a trivial thing.

"huh, sure. you are you but, who are you again?" Ace mildly scoffs hearing her brief response. Though he clearly knew that he shouldn't concern himself to her family drama alas, for the past month working in the Yue family and his abrupt transfer to guard Sebastian Yue -- part of him was suspicious.

After all, Seraphina and Riggs seem much closer than they should be, and Riggs have been very busy about confidential stuff that Ace don't even know what it was. Hence, if Seraphina had this monster in her -- Ace was afraid that she might betray Riggs or just using him, just like Zero; Ace foster father.
