Chapter 272 Eric vs. Serra (Extra 8)
"OK."
"Bleeding?" Sera grasped the key point, but couldn't help but turn around and vaguely saw a twisted figure lying on the ground. A hand quickly covered her eyes, completely blocking her vision.
Eric's deep voice rang in his ears, "Don't look at it, you'll have nightmares."
Sera grabbed his hand, "His blood was sucked away?"
Eric put his arm around her waist and rubbed it gently with his fingertips. He did not hide it from her, "A vampire came up from the sea last night. The town will not be peaceful recently. You have to be good at home."
These words were a bit like coaxing a child, which made Sierra's ears turn red inexplicably, and her voice became softer, "I know, the police officers in the town will take care of it anyway."
Eric put her at the door of the manor and held her little hand, "I will be very busy these two days, if you want to see me."
"I want to see you every night." Sierra held his hand, "If you are free, come."
Eric's heart skipped a beat, his honey-colored cheeks turned pink, "Okay."
Back in the house, Lizzie was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper. She glanced at Sierra and said in a deep voice, "What does it look like when you go out to play with Orion alone?"
Sera replied lightly: "This home has been suffocating me lately. It would be better to go hunting with the hunters and breathe the forest air than here."
Lizzie choked, her face turned ugly, and she didn't refute her.
He heard what Sera said about the rabbit incident yesterday and found out that it was a frame-up directed and acted by Anna Xi and her servants.
He took a deep breath and said, "No one can challenge your place in the family, Sierra."
Sierra nodded, walked over gracefully and sat down, "Father, I won't care too much about Anna Xi, but it would be too ugly if her unflattering tricks were shown outside. You don't usually let the teacher do it at home. Give her lessons?"
Lizzie really hadn't thought about this and subconsciously replied: "Qiao Qie takes care of all the family affairs."
Before he finished speaking, he seemed to react suddenly.
Sera even laughed unabashedly, "A mistress who grew up in poverty, does she know how to manage and educate children? Don't be too confused. Send Annashee out to class to learn etiquette and then come back. As for Mrs. Josie , let her buy less clothes and spend more on the expenses of the manor, so that everyone in the family can live better."
When she went upstairs, Lizzie sat there for a long time without regaining consciousness.
At the dinner table that night, he finalized the schedule for Anaxi to go to class without mentioning Sera at all. The mother and daughter knew in their hearts who was responsible for this.
Sierra ate her dinner dignifiedly with a bright smile.
The next morning, while reading the newspaper, she ordered the gardener to pull out all the hydrangeas in the garden, leaving only a small patch of roses. Josie saw that all her beloved flowers had broken roots and were piled aside, and she was instantly angry. Crazy, I’m going to give Sierra a slap in the face.
She refused to evade and retreated. She endured the blow abruptly and then fell to the ground and became unconscious.
Qiao Xi never expected that this girl who had just come of age from afar would have such a scheme! ! Far beyond her expectations.
Sierra waited until Lizzie called the doctor, and the swollen slap marks on her face were plastered, then she woke up leisurely, and two clear tears fell from her beautiful almond eyes on the spot.
"I just want to plant the roses my mother likes. Dad, I really don't know why she lost such a temper."
She whimpered and threw herself into Lizzie's arms, her thin shoulders trembling, her cold white skin covering her bones in a thin layer, looking very pitiful.
In Lizzie's eyes, this was not the first time that mother and daughter had bullied Sera. He was not unkind to Clemans. If she didn't insist on leaving, how could anyone try to replace her.
He just made a mistake, but it caused his only daughter with aristocratic blood to be in such a mess.
Lizzie slapped Josie with her backhand and said coldly: "She just changed a batch of flowers, and you slapped her? Did you slap our girl casually?"
Qiao Xi fell to the ground, her nails digging into her palms, but she didn't dare to say a word because of the class gap.
Sierra stared at Josie quietly through the gap between Lizzie's arms, with a provocative smile on her lips.
The news that the lover had slapped the Countess was revealed by some servant and spread like wildfire. The next day it was even published in the morning newspaper, right under Wally's column about vampire demons.
Sierra looked at the newspaper and took the initiative to tell Lizzie about it, asking him to find out the person who revealed the news and drive him away.
Her dignity in maintaining family dignity is in sharp contrast to Josie, who cries and doesn't know what to do because her reputation has been damaged.
Within a few days, the servant who revealed the news was driven away. Before leaving, she received a large amount of pocket money from Sera, enough for her to live happily for several years.
As for Josie, Lizzie and she were said to be sleeping in separate rooms.
Seeing her settling down, Sierra felt comfortable and focused on the murderer appearing in the town.
Eric hadn't shown up for several days, hadn't come to accompany her at night, and hadn't sent game to the manor. This was not normal.
Because of that vampire?
Her intuition told her so.
She looked at the fresh roses growing in the garden and bit her nails, feeling a little worried.
Anna Xi appeared behind her at some point and invited her, "Let's go swimming in the lake together?"
Sierra turned her eyes and said hello.
The small wooden boat floated to the center. In the rainy weather, both of them held umbrellas. Looking at the ripples on the lake, Sierra stretched out her hand and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"Go and tell your father to let me come back. I don't want to go to that school!" Anna Xi's face was ugly and a little sickly pale.
"Why?"
"They will bully me! They don't care that I am the Earl's daughter!"
This trick was also done by Sera. She knew that the teachers in that girls' school would force people to bully students as long as they were paid. In the dream, she had experienced everything before, and now she has avoided the past.
She became the one in control.
Sera's hand that was fiddling with the lake water stopped, "You have to go to your father about this matter, what's the use of going to me."
"Didn't you suggest it! You framed me!" Anna Xi stood up excitedly and pointed at her angrily, causing the boat to sway.
Sierra had to hold on to the edge of the boat. As her eyes swayed, she keenly caught a trace of black seaweed rising from the green lake water.
It looks more like the top of human hair than seaweed.
Her expression changed and she yelled at Anasi, "Shut up! Sit down and paddle back!"
An Xi was startled by her, "Why are you so fierce?"
Before she finished the last word, she saw a hand that was so pale that there was no trace of blood pulled the edge of the boat, and the voice suddenly turned into a scream.
The hand came close to Sera, and without thinking, she picked up the paddle and slammed it against the hand.
