No Escape from Love novel Chapter 232

At that moment, Lucas held onto my arm tightly and refused to let me leave.

Alex stepped forward simultaneously, positioning himself between me and Lucas.

I looked at the two men in front of me—one gripping my arm, the other blocking my way. They were like two stone guardians trapping me in between.

Lucas frowned, and there was concern in his eyes. "Where are you going?"

I tried to shake off his grip, but he didn't let go. I was frustrated and had no choice but to explain, "I'm going to find Elena and ask her why she did this."

Alex crossed his arms over his chest. "And then what? What do you plan to do?"

Taking a deep breath, I fought to keep my anger in check. "I'm going to make her pay!"

Lucas suddenly released my arm. "I'll go with you."

Alex raised an eyebrow and refused to back down. "I'm going too."

"Enough!" I rubbed my temples, feeling a headache coming on. "Neither of you is coming with me. I'll handle this myself."

Alex chimed in, "Yeah, your mother is still in the hospital. You should be here taking care of her."

Lucas fixed his gaze on me and said in a low and steady voice, "Serena, if you go to Elena like this, you'll only be playing right into her hands. Focus on your mother for now. I'll take care of Elena."

Alex's expression darkened at his words. He demanded, "Lucas, who put you in charge of Serena's affairs?"
