This was a door in the Blackwood estate; there was no way they would have cut corners on it!
What kind of strength would it take to kick down a solid door like that?!
An endless wave of fear washed over Brandon, and his eyes were filled with terror as he looked at Serena.
He couldn't let her take Brianna!
Right now... Brianna was his only trump card!
As long as he had Brianna...
Serena wouldn't dare touch him!
But just as his hand reached for Brianna.
Serena's bright eyes turned icy, and she moved forward in a flash.
Her figure was like a bolt of lightning as she shot into the room.
She was so fast...
That Brandon's hand never even touched Brianna.
All he heard was a sharp whoosh of air.
He was sent flying backward, crashing hard against the wall and into an ornate mirror.
"Aaargh!"
A bloodcurdling scream tore from Brandon's throat.
He curled into a ball, the pain so intense it felt like several of his ribs had just snapped.
With a crash, the mirror shattered, and shards of glass rained down on Brandon.
He screamed in agony, unable to even crawl away.
Every movement sent slivers of glass digging into his hands.
Lauren was scared out of her wits by the sudden turn of events.
She was so terrified she couldn't even scream.
Flailing her arms and legs, she scrambled on the floor, trying to squirm her way toward the doorway.
Serena didn't even glance at her.
She casually picked up a heavy jewelry box from the vanity and threw it with precision.
The box slammed down hard on the back of Lauren's hand.
Lauren cried out in pain and collapsed onto the floor.
The entire incident unfolded in just a minute or two.
Brianna stared blankly at Serena, looking as if she were completely stunned.
It wasn't until Serena walked over and placed a hand on her head.
Brianna's tense nerves finally gave way, and she relaxed completely.
Tears streamed down her face once more.
"Serena!"
She sobbed out the name that brought her such immense comfort.
Stumbling forward, she threw herself into Serena's arms, hugging her tightly. Her entire body was still trembling slightly.
"It's okay now."
Serena's voice was gentle as she softly stroked Brianna's hair again and again.
Brianna clung to Serena's waist, her tears unstoppable.
Serena was incredibly patient, gently patting Brianna's back with one hand while pulling out her phone with the other to make a call.
"S-Serena..."
Curled up on the floor, his face and
body covered in blood and glass shards, Brandon looked at Serena in
Serena
utter terror and begged for mercy with trembling voice's a misunderstanding! This is alca misunderstanding! I... I was just playing around with Briana!"
“Let..... let me go! We can just pretend today never happened! If you let me go, I..... I
can help you! I can put in a good word for you with Adrian, get him to come back to you..."
Serena's fingers didn't stop dialing.
After she placed the call, her expression was coolly indifferent. She looked down at Brandon from Her superior height her voice chilling “Trash like Adrian Cole, just like trash like you, belongs ina garbage dump.”
The call connected.
Patton's respectful voice came from the other end. "Miss Lancaster?"
“Patton, dressing room. Bring security to clean up the trash," Serena said, her voice flat and cold.
Patton's tone immediately grew tense. "Yes, Miss Lancaster. Right away!"
The call ended.
Serena gently patted Brianna's back and said softly, "Don't worry. Leave the rest to Mr. Blackwood to handle.
I'm sure that with his methods. you'll never have to see this man again for the rest of your life."
