    “Who are you? How dare you barge into my house!”


    Julian rushed back and was outrageous at the scene before him. Although the Sutton family wasn’t


    a top family in Jubilife, they were still a respected family.


    The sheer audacity of these intruders entering Sutton Residence showed tant disrespect.


    “Dad, you’re finally back!” At the sight of Julian, Serena immediately rushed to his side.


    They not only broke into our house but also attacked me! Look at what they did to my face! Dad,


    you must stand up for me!” she cried, embellishing herint.


    “Yeah, you can’t let them get away with this!” Cynthia quickly chimed in.


    Looking at Serena’s swollen face, her resentment toward Yvette deepened. She shot a fierce re


    at her.


    “Darling, they’re too arrogant! They broke into our home and assaulted Serena. Just look at what


    they did to her! You have a good rtionship with the police chief. Hurry and call him to lock them


    up and teach them a lesson!” Cynthia continued.


    Julian was concerned about his reputation and was furious that Yvette and her group had invaded


    the Sutton family home.


    “If I let them off this time, word would spread, and the Suttons would be aughingstock


    among the others!” he thought. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    “Alright, I’ll call him right now!” Julian bellowed.


    Serena’s smugness grew even more at Julian’s words, her excitement palpable.


    “Yvette, you’re done for! A powerless country bumpkin like you dare to oppose me? Who do you


    think you


    are?” she mocked.


    She continued in a tone filled with disdain, “Remember thest time you got me arrested? I got out


    quickly, didn’t I? My family is something you, a country bumpkin, can’t evenpare to!”


    “How dare Yvettepete with me for Liam? What a joke!” she thought as she smirked.


    ‘Powerless? A country bumpkin? Was she talking about the boss?” Jake wondered and couldn’t


    help butugh at the absurdity, ring at Serena with disdain.


    “Morons.”


    “How dare you insult me!” Serena was instantly furious, her eyes filled with anger. “Dad, look how


    arrogant they are! They’re practically asking for death! They don’t take our family seriously at all!”


    Yvette’s voice was cold. “That’s right, I don’t take you seriously.”


    A family like the Sutton’s wasn’t worthy of her respect.


    “You_


    Serena didn’t expect Yvette to be so bold, her face darkening with anger.


    “Dad, did you hear that? They’re disrespecting the Sutton family’s name! If this gets out, we’ll


    be a Joke! Serena cried as she incited her father.


    Julian’s anger deepened, his eyes narrowing at Yvette. “You’d better apologize now, or I’ll make


    sure you suffer in Jubilife!”

    Although the Sutton family wasn’t powerful, crushing a country bumpkin like her would be easy!


    Yvette was indifferent, and she clicked her tongue, her tone dripping with arrogance. “Make me


    suffer? Oh, I’m so scared.”


    But Serena failed to notice her sarcasm.


    “Good, you should be scared!” Serena thought she gained the upper hand. She stepped closer to


    Yvette andughed triumphantly.


    *Beg me! And promise never to show up in front of Liam again. Go back to your countryside, and I


    might consider sparing your life,” she said before suddenly screaming.
