Chapter 113
The Wynn Group?
Old Mr. Lancaster frowned. “Who p>
What kind of riffraff was this, blocking his path?
“Let go of me!” Patrick struggled violently, his voice hoarse with desperation. “Old Mr. Lancaster, Director Lancaster, Mr. Lancaster, I’m begging you… have mercy! Please, give the Wynn Group a chance to survive p>
With that, Patrick forcefully yanked Logan, who was standing beside him. “Aren’t you going to kneel and apologize to them right now p>
Logan stumbled and fell heavily to his knees with a thud.
His face was filled with humiliation.
Marianne’s eyes darted around before she quickly shoved her designer handbag into her daughter’s hands.
Then, she also ran forward, crying out as she knelt before Old Mr. Lancaster’s wheelchair. “It’s all our fault! We’ve brought our disobedient son here to atone to the Lancaster family! As long as you’re willing to continue working with us, the Wynn family will do anything to repay you p>
After all, everyone here was rich and influential.
If they kneeled and apologized so publicly, surely the Lancaster family would be backed into a corner socially?
The sight of three people kneeling in a row was utterly unprecedented.
This kind of thing simply didn’t happen at Le Céleste, a place exclusively for the elite.
Even the highly trained security guards were stunned for a few seconds before reacting.
Only then did they rush forward and restrain the three members of the Wynn family.
Hailey was mortified and wanted nothing to do with them. Clutching Marianne’s designer bag, she shrank back into the crowd.
“Grandpa, they’re Serena’s former parents,” Julian Lancaster explained in a low voice to Old Mr. Lancaster. “Serena was mistakenly switched at birth and raised by the Wynn family. When we brought her back recently, we wanted to thank them for raising her all these years. So, we offered them a partnership in the core project for the west side development to give them a boost p>
“So, they’re Serena’s former parents? Hearing that they had raised Serena, Old Mr. Lancaster’s expression softened Looking at thề three people being dragged away by security, he quickly called out, “Wait p>
He even started to wheel himself forward, intending to help them up.
Since they had raised Serena for twenty years, he felt he had to show them some respect.
When Patrick saw Old Mr. Lancaster’s sudden change in attitude, he was secretly delighted.
He knew it! The Lancaster family still valued them.
The moment they knew who they were, their attitude changed completely.
This meant they could get the contract back!
Feeling a bit smug, Patrick forcefully pushed away the guard holding him. “Old Mr. Lancaster has spoken, so get lost! We are future partners of the Lancasters p>
But just as Old Mr. Lancaster moved his wheelchair a fraction of an inch, Julian added, “Grandpa, the contract for the Wynn family was canceled by Serena personally p>
The wheelchair stopped dead.
Old Mr. Lancaster frowned. “What happened p>
Julian’s eyes, usually gentle behind his glasses, glinted with a sharp light. “Serena only said one thing: she doesn’t owe the Wynn family anything, and no gratitude of compensation is needed
Old Mr. Lancaster’s face fell.
Even though he had only known Serena for a short week, he understood his granddaughter.
Serena might seem cool and detached on the surface, but she was actually a very sentimental person.
Moreover, Serena was affiliated with the government, and her work brought honor to the country; her character was beyond reproach.
Such a sweet, obedient, and brilliant
child would never be so cold to the family that raised her, let alone personally cancel a partnership offered to them, unless they had done something truly awful to break her heart.
