Chapter 123
Handle it accordingly?
Didn’t that mean p>
Patrick panicked. “Serena, are you really going to stand by and watch your father get arrested? I’m still your father, you can’t do this to me p>
Serena’s gaze was flat, her expression emotionless. “Mr. Wynn, have you forgotten? I have no relationship with you or the Wynn family p>
Patrick immediately recalled the agreement he had forced Serena to sign, severing all their ties.
His face changed. He looked embarrassed but forced a smile. “How can you say that? After all… you called me ‘Dad’ for twenty years p>
“That’s right, Serena. We were your parents for twenty years,” Marianne quickly added. Even as she pleaded, her tone was still arrogant and demanding. “We raised you for twenty years. You can’t just disown us. Aren’t you afraid people will call you ungrateful p>
If it weren’t for the fact that Serena was on good terms with Le Céleste’s owner, Mr. Marshall, and had also caught Nicholas Blackwood’s eye, Marianne wouldn’t want anything to do with this jinx.
She felt that the Wynn family’s humiliation today was all Serena’s fault.
And since Serena caused it, it was only right for her to fix it. She should have Mr. Marshall welcome them respectfully into the VIP area so they could go beg the Lancasters.
Besides, she was now deigning to speak to Serena. Serena should be grateful and do as she was told!
Marianne’s words had a deeper meaning. She believed that a man like Mr. Marshall, who founded a major restaurant to promote Elyndor’s culture, must value tradition. And respecting one’s parents was the most important tradition of all!
That one point could corner Serena, leaving her with no room to refuse.
By bringing up their parental relationship, if Serena dared to not plead for them, she would be seen as an ungrateful daughter in the eyes of Mr. Marshall and the Blackwood heir.
A person like that has questionable character!
Could Serena still ride on their coattails then?
The Wynn family’s plan seemed perfect in their minds.
However p>
Serena didn’t even spare them a glance. She stuffed her hands in her pockets and turned to leave.
“Serena p>
The Wynn parents couldn’t believe Serena would be so disrespectful. Their voices grew sharp and desperate.
Her attitude made things clear to Mr. Collins, who immediately gave an order: “Call the police p>
When Patrick and Marianne saw a Le Céleste employee actually dial the police, their faces went white.
They desperately called out Serena’s name.
But they could only watch as she walked away into the inner courtyard of Le Céleste.
And p>
Mr. Marshall followed her, smiling and chatting with her.
Nicholas, hands in his pockets, casually walked on her other side, his posture almost intimate p>
Watching the two men naturally flank Serena one on each side, made the Wynn family’s eyes burn with jealousy.
The country bumpkin they had looked down on was walking side-by-side with powerful figures
they could never hope to associate
with! And on such friendly terms!
Meanwhile, they were being disposed of like trash, escorted away by the police who arrived shortly after.
They were arrested.
Completely humiliated.
And their last shred of hope was gone.
On the other side, not wanting her
family to wait too long for her,
Serena said a quick goodbye
Mr.
Marshall and headed back to the Sovereign Suite
