Chapter 219: Fake Innocent
He looked at her as if she were a thief. And Serena was ashamed, and bit her lower lip.
“Who said you stole it?”
Although Cristian’s tone of voice was neutral, it was still chilling and Serena clenched her fists, “So what do you mean?”
Cristian thought that the buttons on that coat were gone.
That night he had noticed that he lost the button. He didn’t care, but could no longer wear it without a button. However, for some reason he did not throw the suit away, but stored it.
Today, unexpectedly, he discovered that all the buttons had been removed.
It was unlikely that Serena acted so deliberately. But apart from her, who else could do it?
Moreover, at that moment, Cristian could not help but wonder if the missing buttons were in the hands of the woman of that night.
“Nothing.” Cristian replied in a cold voice, frowning, “Do you say that you really didn’t touch my closet?This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Serena: “Can I know what you lost? If you want to say something, say it. What’s the point of going around like this?”
He remained silent and Serena nodded, “Well, I’m going downstairs now because Alice is coming to visit Grandpa Alessandro. We will discuss this later.”
Having finished speaking, Serena turned and went directly.
After she was gone, Cristian turned over the suit in his hand and stared at the places where the buttons had been removed.
One was lost. Two was left. Where did they go?

Serena went downstairs and headed directly to the main entrance to wait for Alice. Passing through the living room, she saw Leonardo sitting on the sofa holding his cell phone as if he were talking to someone. He looked at her as if he suddenly realized it. Serena quickly sped up and left.
She waited a while at the gate until she saw Alice’s car coming.
After Alice got out of the car, she gave the key to the servant. After that, she took a lot of things with her and entered with Serena.
“Serena, it’s good that you came to pick me up. I thought you were angry with me. A few days ago I didn’t think about it, so I didn’t come for you. Sorry, do you mind?” asked Alice in a gentle voice.
Serena didn’t mind. Those days she just wanted to relax a little, so she shook her head and said, “No problem, come in. By the way, Grandpa Alessandro went out and may come back later.”
“No problem.” Alice smiled, walked over and rubbed her cheek, “Anyway, I’m here mainly for you and then I came by to pay a visit to Grandpa Alessandro.”
Hearing these words, she was moved.
“Thank you, Alice.”
“Well, let’s go inside.”
Serena helped her carry her things. After the two entered, they ran into Leonardo. As soon as she saw him, Alice was zealous.
“Leonardo.”
“Hello!” Leonardo was holding a book in his hand and smiled at them. His gaze shifted to Serena, but seeing that she avoided him, his gaze darkened.
“Leonardo. I heard that Grandpa Alessandro went out. I’m here to bring you some presents.” Finished speaking, Alice handed Leonardo an envelope and said, “I hope you don’t mind, brother.”
“Your presence is enough. What gifts did you bring?” Leonardo politely took the envelope.
“I am here as a guest. I would certainly bring gifts.”
“All right. Have fun. I’m going to deal with something.” Seeing that Serena was really uncomfortable with him there, he found an excuse to leave.
After he was gone, Alice took Serena by the hand and headed for the living room, “I really think Leonardo is a polite and nice guy. He treats everyone kindly. He seems like a good person to me. However, if you don’t like him, I will treat the matter as if I don’t know anything about it and won’t mention it again.”
Hearing this, Serena scolded her and looked at her incredulously.
“Alice.”
“Isn’t it surprising? We are like sisters. I thought it over these days. I think you should continue to respect your choice. After all, it’s your business. I… shouldn’t interfere too much.”
With what she said, Alice laid down all the things in her hand. “Don’t get so emotional. Grandpa Alessandro is not back yet. What shall we do?”
“I’ll take you around. Come on.”
She herself was not very familiar with the place. Taking her around meant that she could also make herself familiar with this place.
Serena took Alice to the back garden for a walk. Suddenly Alice said she did not feel well and needed to go to the bathroom. Serena nodded, “All right, go ahead. I’ll wait for you here.”
“All right, then wait for me. I’ll be back in a little while.”
After saying goodbye, Alice walked down a long hallway. A short distance away, she saw Cristian. A gentle smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, then she walked forward, pretending to be surprised.
“Cristian? Are you here…”
Cristian always went to the back garden on weekends, but he did not expect to run into Alice there.
Cristian gave her an indifferent look and then murmured a reply.
“Sorry, at first I am supposed to take a walk with Serena, but then I am going to the bathroom and accidentally got lost” Having said that, Alice came very close and directly took the initiative to whisper behind Cristian’s back, “Cristian, do you think I’m silly?”
Cristian remained speechless.
He frowned.
“Cristian, can you accompany me to the bathroom?” In saying this, Alice unconsciously rested her fingers and patted Cristian’s back. Seeing that he had no particular reaction, she slowly lifted her fingers and brought them to his neck. Her heart was pounding.
Seeing her fingers caressing his neck, he suddenly tightened his grip on her wrist.
Cristian stared at her coldly and said in a cold tone, “What do you think you’re doing?”
Alice was caught off guard. Moreover Cristian used a lot of force and suddenly pushed her hand away. Had he ever acted like this before? Alice was puzzled for a while.
“Cristian, I didn’t do anything to you… you hurt me!”
She looked innocently at Cristian. Her big eyes were filled with tears.
Seeing her in tears, Cristian thought of Serena who also looked at him with the same innocent look before. But her stubborn and unyielding gaze carried with it an indomitable defeat.
But the woman in front of him was different. The innocence in her eyes was clearly only a pretense.
“Nothing?” sneered Cristian. “Then what are you doing next to me?”
