His face paled, and he scrambled to chase after her. "Serena, wait! Don't go... Don't go! I really know I was wrong. You wouldn't accept your mother's apology, so what if... what if I get on my knees for you?"
But the slender, tall figure didn't pause for a second.
Just then, Brian stepped sideways, blocking his path and preventing him from pleading with Serena.
Seeing he had no other options, Patrick grew desperate and shouted at Serena's retreating figure, "Serena... you can't be so heartless as to let the Wynn family go bankrupt! Even if you won't do it for your mother and me, you should at least... for your grandmother's sake, spare us!"
Serena's steps came to an abrupt halt.
Patrick's eyes lit up, and he yelled even more fervently, "Serena, if your
grandmother knew you were treating us like this, she wouldn't be able to rest in peace!"
"You were the person your grandmother doted on most when she was alive. Can you really bear to see her unable to close her eyes in the afterlife?!"
Serena turned around, bit by bit.
Beneath the brim of her hat, her bright eyes, like shattered ice, were bone-chillingly cold.
The intensity of her gaze made the words die in Patrick's throat. He couldn't force out another sound.
Her powerful, stunning presence was so oppressive he could barely breathe.
"If it weren't for Grandma, do you think... you, and the rest of you..."
Serena's icy gaze swept over the Wynn family with contempt and disdain. "Would even have the chance to stand before me?"
For her, bankrupting a family was as easy as lifting a finger.
If she had wanted to.
The Wynn family would have been finished the day she left.
She had tolerated the Wynn family until now.
It was only because she remembered the kindness of her grandmother... Patrick's own mother!
So, after leaving the Wynn family, she had only revoked all the special treatment and privileges she had once granted them, but she hadn't driven them to ruin.
The fact that the Wynn family had ended up in this state...
Was their own doing, not because she had deliberately targeted them.
And now, Patrick actually had the audacity to bring up Grandma, trying to use her memory to make Serena soften?
It was clear that Patrick had severely miscalculated.
Serena stared at him coldly. "If
Bel.n
Grandma were still alive and knew how you treated me after she passed, she would have told me to stay as far away from you as possible.
Mentioning Old Mrs. Wynn caused a slight flicker in Serena's otherwise calm demeanor. "Mr. Wynn, you are the last person who has any right to mention Grandma content
"The only thing you should be thankful for... is that you are her son!"
With that, Serena didn't spare him another glance.
She opened the car door and got in.
The car's engine roared to life.
In an instant, she sped away from Obsidian Palace, disappearing into the night.
Patrick could only watch helplessly as the black Maybach drove off into the distance.
Serena's words had drained all the color from his face.
It was over...
It was all over!
Even bringing up Old Mrs. Wynn couldn't soften Serena's heart.
So how could the Wynn family... how could the Wynn family be saved?!
"Mr. Wynn."
From behind him, Brian's arrogant, devil-may-care voice rang out.
Several sets of footsteps approached.
Patrick, his face ashen, stiffly turned his head.
The group of swaggering, top-tier heirs sauntered over and surrounded him.
With a condescending air, as if
toying with a clown, he curled his
lips into a mocking smile. "Do
know what Serena meant by
whatever
