"No… Please!" Sarah screamed.
Anna maintained a frosty expression, showing no intention of asking her men to stop.
Serena, finding Sarah's screams too shrill and jarring, stepped forward. "Please wait a moment."
"What? Are you pleading for her?" Anna gave Serena a cold glance.
But remembering that Regina had once praised Serena, she waved her hand, signaling the men to stop.
The leather belt halted just beside Sarah's face, frightening her into a cold sweat. Her body went limp and she collapsed heavily to the ground.
"Sarah!" Rachel cried out, bending down to embrace her daughter.
Serena remained calm.
"Grandpa is seriously ill and resting inside. Even if you want to seek justice, I hope you won't cause such a commotion at the door.
"And, I'm deeply sorry for the misfortune that befell your daughter in the car accident.
"As for Cole's rash decision to call off the engagement, I believe the Larson family will give you a proper explanation. Why don't we find a place to sit down and discuss everything properly?"
She was polite and thorough, her words neutral and measured.
Anna's eyes flickered. "Do your words carry weight in the Larson family?"
"Every word she says represents me." Hugh stepped behind Serena, placing a steadying hand on her shoulder.
He was a truly dependable ally. Serena secretly praised him in her heart.
