Chapter 19: The human heart was terrifying


    Cristian sensed the pain and withdrew his lips and tongue.


    "It seems that Mrs. Ferrari not only barks, also bites."


    Cristian sneered as he reached out to wipe his lips. He had a handsome face and was very attractive


    while smiling, especially since he usually had a cold expression. However, the present smile was


    hostile, like a provoked lion, along with the red blood on his lips, which made him even more handsome


    and evil.


    Serena finally found a chance and pushed him away, moving to the corner.


    "Cristian, what do you want to do? Don''t forget you made rules with me. You want me not to touch you.


    What are you doing now?"


    Cristian remained silent, staring at her coldly.


    Serena adjusted her clothes, and looked at him persistently.


    The more she acted like this, the more Cristian wanted her. She was just a remarried and pregnant


    woman. Why should he pity such a woman? How could he cancel the operation and bring her back


    home after knowing that she might die.


    Cristian, you were crazy!


    Staring at her for a few moments, Cristian left a sentence, "Even if I want to y, I''m only interested in


    clean women." Having said this, he turned the wheel and walked away from the room.

    The room became quiet again, and finally Serena calmed down. Sliding weakly along the cold wall, she


    hugged her knees and cried softly.


    Cristian, outside the door, hearing the sobbing and crying, sneered with disdain.


    ...


    Two dayster, Serena''s opinion of Cristian remained cruel, ruthless and hostile all the time.


    Although a loud argument happened, he did not say a single word to kick her out of the house.


    But Serena was notfortable, as she still had to go to thepany being his assistant.


    Cristian however always purposely embarrassed her.


    Serena could only find ways to solve every time every problem that happened. Although she was not


    smart enough, but she was tough and determined. She gritted her teeth to face all of them no matter


    how Cristian behaved to humiliate her.


    On this day, Alessandro called her into the study. Serena felt extremely fearful in front of the elderly


    man.


    "How has Cristian''s assistant been doing recently?"


    Hearing this, Serena reflected and replied politely, "Everything is fine."


    The elder raised his eyebrows and narrowed his dark eyes, "What do you mean it''s fine? Did you gain


    his trust?"


    Serena did not understand: "Huh?"


    "Do you think anyone can be an assistant? Aurora, I have known your parents for a long time.


    They say you are smart and you should be able to understand what I mean."


    With a heartbeat, Serena asked uncertainly.


    "Alessandro, you mean..."


    "Cristian has leg problems, and it affected his character. Therefore, he behaved cruelly and selfishly.


    The Ferrari family group isrge and cannot be destroyed in his hands. What you have to do is to


    prevent him from doing unfavorable things against the group. But being a woman, you wouldn''t be able


    to understand much of it, so from now on you have to bring back to me every day the timetable of


    everything he does."


    Although Serena was not smart, she was not stupid either.


    She understood what the elderly man said, and replied unconsciously, "Alessandro, do you mean that


    ... I have to supervise him?"


    "Presumptuous!"


    Provoked by the word ''supervise,'' the elder grabbed the ashtray on the table and mmed it against


    her.


    Serena''s eyes widened in fear and she watched the heavy ashtray flying toward her.


    In a single moment, a figure rushed into the study, pushing Serena away from the spot.


    Crack!


    The ashtray fell to pieces in the position where Serena stood before. The volume of the sound shook


    her heart. Serena''s eyes widened and she looked at the elderly man in disbelief. Cruel and selfish were


    not descriptions of himself?


    "Grandpa, Aurora just said things directly without thinking too much, and also because she didn''t


    understand your intentions."


    Serena found out that the person who saved her from danger was Leonardo.


    "Aurora, my grandfather and I are just worried about Cristian''s health. After all, it is very tiring to


    manage such arge group. Besides, you must have seen his temper these days. He really acts crazy.


    Grandpa told you all this today not to supervise Cristian, because anyway in the future, the group will


    be all his. What we have to do is to help him."


    Serena bit her lower lip and said nothing.


    The elder huffed and said angrily, "I thought the Gallo''s daughter was very intelligent. I didn''t expect


    that she could even say words like ''supervise''. If others know that, what reputations will I still have? To


    have such a member in the family?"


    "Grandpa, don''t be angry. I''ll tell her properly."


    Finishing his words, Leonardo let Serena away from the study.


    Serena was probably startled by the scene. Not having yet recovered, she followed Leonardo without


    saying anything. Arriving at a silent ce, Leonardo''s footsteps stopped. He turned and stared at her


    softly.


    "Aurora, are you frightened? Are you hurt?"


    Saying this, Leonardo stepped forward to hold her shoulders.


    Serena immediately stepped back.


    Her hands remained in the air and she paused for a long time in embarrassment. Serena''s lips parted


    and her head lowered, "I''m sorry..."


    Leonardo smiled and withdrew his hands.


    "It''s okay. Forget the things that happened today. Grandpa doesn''t intend to hurt you. There are


    problems between them and some things he can''t ask Cristian directly, so he can only ask you. Can


    you understand if I say that?"


    Serena nodded.


    "It seems you didn''t understand what I said very well. Maybe your mind is too disordered now. Go back


    to the room. When you maybe think about it a bit, you will know what Grandpa is doing is for Cristian''s


    sake."


    "Then I''ll go to the room." Serena turned and left.


    Walking a long way, Serena felt the sight of Leonardo settling on her back. It was only after she passed


    a corner that the feeling of that sight on her back disappeared.


    Serena stopped, looked at the ground and thought deeply.


    The Ferrari situation was unexpectedlyplicated. She was not foolish and naturally knew what


    Alessandro meant. On the surface, it was concern for Cristian, but in reality it was surveince.


    Even Leonardo, always with a gentle smile, gave her a hallucination of a polite and modest gentleman.


    She suddenly discovered that he was on the same line with Alessandro, telling her those absurd words.


    Serena suddenly felt cold all over.


    People...you couldn''t judge them by appearance alone, could you?


    Just like Francis then.


    Francis went on to say that he was powerless to ask her for forgiveness as he kicked her out of the


    house one day with a lover....


    Two years. He hold the secret for two whole years.


    The human heart was truly the most terrifying thing in this world.


    Suddenly, Serena no longer hated Cristian so much.


    He was rejected by his family, just like her.
