I Traded My Wolves for a Cold-Blooded Serpent, But Why is He Always Hitting on Me Chapter 14

I took Ella’s place.

And I was way better at it.

The company got back on track.

Dad even got a little better.

I told Serpentes: “Dad’s old. It’s normal for him to be sick. Getting better suddenly feels like a last burst of energy.”

In my penthouse office, Serpentes twirled my hair between his pale fingers.

He smiled faintly: “Good.”

Dad got sick again.

He was too weak to run the company.

I worried, of course.

I visited him: “Sign over the rest of your stock to me.”

The sick, old man in bed exploded, but he could only cough helplessly.

“You don’t want the Qi legacy destroyed under Ella, do you?” I said calmly.

He stared at me, furious,

I smiled: “Give in, and I’ll let her live comfortably. You saw how your precious princess did when I was gone.”

I leaned closer, soft: “Dad, I’m your daughter too. I have your blood. Giving it to me is the right choice.”

He stared at me, pain in his eyes. Then he fell back, defeated.

I smiled, satisfied.

Everything was finally mine.

Serpentes stayed with me while I worked

If I ignored him too long.

a cold, smooth tail would slide around my waist.

Why was he so clingy?

I sighed and stroked his tail gently.

I said sincerely: “Can you stay human next time? The beast form… I really can’t handle it.”

Serpentes pressed his face to my neck: “Okay.”

I never asked about his real identity – some rich heir, some big boss. I didn’t care. I only wanted him with me.

Like at the airport, when John mumbled: “We had real names, you know…”

I’d said calmly: “I don’t want to know. I don’t need to.”

That shut him up.

Serpentes had secretly helped me close deals. I pretended not to notice.

But I gave him little rewards sometimes.

Serpentes had hurt Jay and Jacob badly.

After they healed, they couldn’t find me and left the mansion.

They showed up again recently.

“Miss Sterling, people are here to see you.” My assistant said politely over the phone. “Three men. Said their names are

John, Jay, Jacob.”

I said: “Put them on the line.”

“Okay.”

“Mia?” Jacob’s voice was awkward. “You’re back.”

I said: “Yep.”

“Let’s meet up.” Jay said.

“I don’t have time. I don’t want to.” My voice was cold.

John sneered: “Scared your snake will get jealous?”

Not really.

I twirled my pen, bored: “I don’t care what he thinks. I just don’t wanna see you. I’m not your master anymore.”

Jacob raised his voice, urgent: “You are! We never saw Ella as our master! We never slept with her! We would’ve run away Chapter 14

with you if you’d just asked-”

“Oh. So you still think I’m your master.” I said. “But in my eyes? You’re not worth it anymore.”

I hung up.

My assistant knocked: “Miss Sterling, some contracts for you.”

I smiled: “Come in.”

I set down my pen and told her: Tell security not to let those three beastmen in. Next time, throw them out.”

She smiled: “Got it, Miss Sterling.”

She was the same assistant who’d helped me escape the wedding.

“Oh, Miss Sterling, you have a meeting soon. What coffee do you want?”

I remembered: “Right, I have a meeting.”

I opened my phone and sent Serpentes a “pat pat” sticker.

Gonna be late tonight. Wait for me at home.

I didn’t wait for his reply. I stood up, fixed my cuffs, and said:

“No coffee. Just water. Let everyone head to the meeting room.”

“Okay, Miss Sterling.”
