Chapter 27 slapped in the Face
“So what?” Rearing that Serena had figured everything out, Helena no longer held back and tore off the facade completely.
“Once his will is made public, the Linden family and Linden Group will all be ours. Don’t even think about getting a single penny.”
Sermascotted “ch? Is that so?”
“Serena, what are you so proud of? Naomi glared at her with hatred “Do you really think that old man can p
protect you forever?”
Serena remained unperturbed, her tone as calm as usual. “At least right now, he dotes on me and will ensure my safety” Naomi’s eyes flashed with resentment. Tine! We’ll see about that!”
Helena crossed her arms, a mocking smile curling at her lips. “Serena, do you really think you’ll be able to walk out the door again after coming here today?” Serena narrowed her eyes, a bad feeling creeping over her.
At Helena’s command, the Linden family’s household start rushed toward Serena
But just as things escalated, a group of bodyguards dressed in black suits stormed in and quickly surrounded the living room.
At the sight of this, Charles‘ expression changed instantly, and Helena and Naomi were visibly trightened. All three of them stepped back hastily.
“Who are you? What do you want he asked, trying to keep his composure.
The bodyguards replied in unison, “We’ve been ordered to ensure Mrs. Spencer’s safety ”
Serma was momentarily stunned, but she immediately understood when she saw Lewis among them. Lewis walked over to her side, his tone respectful and concerned. “Mrs Spencer, are you alright?
Sermashook her head, a warm smile spreading across her face. “I’m fine”
“Mrs. Spencer Senior was worried about you and feared you might be mistreated, so she sent me to ensure your safety,” Lewis explained.
Serma’s heart warmed at his words.
Sering Serena backed by someone, Naomi telt a deep sense of injustice. She sneered, deliberately raising her voice, “Serena, is this the old man keeping you?-
Before Sermacould answer, Lewis yelled first, “How dare you? This is Mrs. Spencer. Mr. Spencer is young and accomplished, not some old man like you’re calling him.”
He warned her coldly, “If you keep speaking like that, I’ll teach you a lesson on your parents‘ behalf.”
“You-“Namu’s face turned red with anger.
Unable to stand it any longer, Helena stepped forward to defend Naomi, saying, “You’re just a subordinate. What are you barking about here? Who do you think you are to lecture my daughter?
“Instead of wasting your time lecturing my daughter, you should advise that Mr. Spencer to see a doctor. If he’s willing to look at a woman like Serena, he must be blind. Helena let out a mocking Laugh.
Lewis furrowed his brows and glanced at the bodyguards standing nearby. They immediately understood and moved forward aggressively.
Helena and Naomi instantly panicked.
“What are you going to do?”
Lewis snerred, “I warned you earlier, but you wouldn’t listen. Now, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

Watching them being slapped, Serena maintained a calm and detached posture as she quietly observed the scene. She didn’t feel happy, but there w was still far from mough compared to everything they had done to her over the years.
Unable to maintain his composure, Charles tried to turn the situation around by accusing Serena. “Serena, what’s the meaning of this? Are you completely cutting ties with me now and turning against me?”
She smiled faintly, atrace of coldness flickering in her eyes. She parted her red lips slightly, speaking in a calm but resolute tone, “Uncle Charles, you’re mistaken. They’re just here to protect mystery. They mean no harm. Please don’t think too much of it”
“You!” Charles was momentarily speechless, looking at Serena with a complicated gaze
Helena couldn’t take it anymore and cried, “Serena, make them stop!”
Naomi, ako tearful, begged, “Dad, please help us!*
Watching their faces gradedly swell, the usually calm and collected Charles could no longer sit still
“Make them stop!” he shouted urgently at Serena. “I’m begging you, please.“
Setenia fell silent for a few seconds before speaking, “Lewis,”
Lewis binmediately understood and signaled the bodyguards to halt their actions.
