Chapter 574 [574] Serena 2.0.

[Café in Shield, Sabrina Wellington POV.]

"Catherine, I would appreciate it if you didn't refer to my boyfriend as filth."

As soon as I said those words, I could see the goosebumps travel up her body to her face, and her expression changed.

"Sorry?"

I sighed inwardly. This is going to be a bigger headache than I had thought it to be. What irritates me is the man I tried to defend is eagerly watching this all unfolds, studying the reactions of my niece with great interest.

Is it that amusing to you?

"Please, Don't refer to him as filth, his name would do."

Nevertheless, I trust him enough to intervene if things go rough. I also don't want someone to call him such things. That is a right reserved only for me when he does stupid things. Although, even I wouldn't go so far as to call him 'filth'. Stupid and idiot were terms that would work fine.

Catherine, my niece who was only a year younger than me, who I treated as a sister, would be a troublesome 'foe' to deal with. She is stubborn, and regards me as...

A supreme being that must not be tainted. Yes, that is what she thinks of me. She is obsessive about it as well. Perhaps... I pampered her too much, I suppose.

The reason why I want her to simply fuck off, and not bother Alan or me is because I want our relationship to be a normal relationship, one that isn't filled with useless people trying to come between, or obstruct us in any way, I have already experienced much of that. I don't want it...this time.

I just want to do things a normal couple does. Not bullshit.

Therefore... I must put a stop to it now.

"May I ask for what reason you were to look at Alan with...

I struggled to put accurate words on how she was looking at Alan from how he described it...but someone else did it for me.

"Eyes that could kill. They hurt, you know."

I sighed inwardly, but smiled outwardly. I knew I could at least trust him to say something when I found it difficult to do so...although that last part was a bit uncalled-for.

"I'm so sorry, Bri, but I don't recall ever doing such."

She called me by my nickname, one that only grandfather, my parents...and her were allowed to use. Alan looked at me with a new look.

[Can I use it?]

He asked in a joking manner...to do this right now...

[Yes, But I would call you Al. Like how your sister does.]

[Deal. Bri.]

He is enjoying this...

"I'm sorry, but I know how you are, Catherine. Please, explain and stop."

"But Sister! I promise I didn't do anything of the sorts! This filth is lying!"

She insisted that she was telling the truth, and also insisted on calling him filth.

"That isn't what I heard."

"So you would trust the words of the filth over your own sister?"

"Niece...and stop."

This time, I added a bit of authority to my tone, which quickly turned her into a sulking puppy that was cute to look at, But I was beyond annoyed by her disregard of Alan and blatantly disrespecting him. In front of both him and me, that is.

"Catherine."

[It's ok. I'll handle it.]

Before I could ask him, he agreed to it. I stood up and left.

"Take care, Babe~"

...

...

... I did not mind what he called me, but I knew for a fact he did to get a reaction from Catherine. Sighing, I left the café, choosing not to eavesdrop.

[Alan Peccator POV]

'So she had a nickname of Bri... cute.'

I thought as I saw Sabrina taking her leave. I watched her back leave and, as I expected, the moment she left...

I felt mana move.

'Bold.'

I thought, Catherine used a skill the moment Sabrina was out of view, I expected this. Vines appeared from thin air and wrapped around my body, tearing up my uniform a bit. I could stop this before it could even happen...but why would I?

This skill can't do anything to me.

A vine wrapped itself around me neck, and Catherine moved. She went on top of the table and grabbed my collar with both her hands. And her face was super close.

'No, thanks, I want the original this close to my face.'

But I didn't turn her away, I want to see how this proceeds.

"You fuck."

Quite vulgar, unbefitting of someone that has that face, doesn't it?

'What is that smell, though? It's not that bad...huh?'

As she moved close to me, I smelled something, one of makeup...and one of lavender.

"You fucking fuck. What did you do to her? Have you two done it? Just how much has this fucking unholy abomination of a relationship going on for?! HOW DARE YOU?!"

"You're too fucking loud."

I said, as the vine around my neck tightened. I didn't really feel anything, though.

"Loud... Ha ha... Remember this, you fucking swine."

Her lips curled up, and a bright flush appeared on her face... Sweat started to roll down her forehead and... I could finally see what the source of the makeup smell was.

'She was wearing actually makeup? Why though? With the fa-'

I came to the realization as I was thinking... I was wondering why her face was a perfect match of Sabrina's... This girl used makeup to look exactly like her, on top of that, she used the same products Sabrina used...

"She is mine...and mine only...you get that?"

A red flush, and a lewd smile, her eyes are deranged, clearly thinking about something I don't want to imagine.

'Holy fuck.'

I underestimated how obsessed she was... Forget Sabrina, this girl is more like Serena... A level of obsession to a single individual that...terrifies me.
