    Chapter 188 Do Not Even Think About Leaving


    “It’s you! How did you get in?”


    Gwendolyn gracefully yed with her nails and answered unhurriedly, “I had the security guard inform


    the butler and entered through the front gate.”


    The butler let her in?


    How could the butler, who has worked with our family all these years, be bought off so quickly?


    Samantha red at the woman with murderous eyes.


    Gwendolyn saw through her mind and added, “Even rats will abandon a sinking ship. Today is the day


    the Lane family falls, and he naturally knows what to do.”


    Furious, Samantha gritted her teeth and sprang up from the ground. “You wicked woman! You’ve gone


    too far! Do you think we’ll crumble just because you harm us like that? You’re dreaming!”


    “Harm the Lane family?”


    Gwendolyn sneered, “This can hardly be considered harm. I merely exposed the Lane family’s dirty


    secrets to the world. Why would you fear those rumors if your family was truly innocent?”


    “You!”


    Samantha was infuriated, but she couldn’t deny the truth. The Lane Group’s troubles and the issues


    with Shirley and Louis were all brought upon themselves!


    In the room behind her, the screams grew more intense and desperate.


    “Ah! Louis! How dare youy a hand on me? How dare you abuse me? I’ll make sure you pay for this!


    Both you and your mistress should be executed!”


    Then, the woman’s screams rang out again. “Help! Louis is going to kill someone! Save me! Sammy,


    come and save me!”


    Having been beaten up, Shirley also screamed until her voice turned hoarse.


    Samantha was about to go downstairs to confront Gwendolyn when she realized something was amiss


    inside the room. She hurriedly entered to intervene.


    However, it seemed her presence was futile as themotion resumed quickly. The voices became


    increasingly chaotic.


    Gwendolyn had brought only Ezra and Justin with her that day. So there weren’t many of them.


    The noise upstairs was unbearable. Gwendolyn raised an eyebrow and discreetly rubbed her ears.


    “You two, go up and try to calm them down and bring everyone downstairs.”


    “Understood.”


    Ezra and Justin quickly took action.


    Justin knocked Louis unconscious with a single punch and forcefully carried him downstairs.


    Those involved in the fight were all taken away. Shirley and Samantha followed behind as they headed


    downstairs.


    Shirley’s hair was disheveled. After all, the strength gap between a man and a woman was too big.


    Both her cheeks were swollen. Blood trickled from the corners of her mouth, and tear stains marked


    her face.


    Samantha didn’t fare any better as she entered. She received an unintended p from Louis.


    Gwendolyn instructed Ezra to bring a small sofa and ce it across the coffee table. She then seated


    each of the three individuals on separate couches.


    The Lane family’s butlers and servants quietly gathered near the doorway, observing the spectacle.


    They were surprised to see Gwendolyn seated in the central position, as if she were more like the


    owner than anyone from the Lane family, exerting absolute dominance.


    She leaned back gently, resting against the back of the sofa, and cast a fleeting gaze at the three


    individuals across from her. With her slender and fair hand, she lightly apuded.


    “How splendid it is to start my day with such a family drama.”

    Shirley’s face swelled from the beating, causing her pain whenever she moved her mouth. As she


    tidied her appearance, she red at Gwendolyn with resentment.


    Samantha red at Gwendolyn with an evil look and took the lead to speak. “Don’t think the Lane


    family can be easily brought down! I won’t let these matters go so easily! I’ll get back at you for


    everything in the future! Don’t get too smug too soon!”


    Gwendolyn chuckled upon hearing Samantha’s words. “Get back at me? Unfortunately, I’m afraid you


    won’t have that opportunity.”


    Samantha was momentarily stunned by Gwendolyn’s cold and arrogant gaze. She felt a hint of


    inexplicable unease.


    “What do you mean?”


    Gwendolyn nced at Ezra but directed her words at Samantha. “Come, let’s have a look at the gift I


    have prepared for you.”


    Ezra understood her meaning and stepped forward, cing a document on the table.


    “Ms. Lane, this document contains evidence of your involvement in the kidnapping and attempted


    murder of Charmaine, a former trainee of the talent show. This one shows your embezzlement of eight


    billion and eight hundred million from Wright Construction Group’s funds. Ms. Shalders is now the head


    of Wright Construction Group and has the authority to reim that money from you. And this document


    is…”


    Ezra spent a solid five minutes meticulously recounting Samantha’s ndestine deeds.


    Samantha stared at the pile of papers in shock.


    How did this wicked woman manage to uncover all my private matters in such a short time?


    This is impossible!


    Samantha rushed to the coffee table and tore the evidence into tiny pieces. It seemed like an outlet for


    her anger as she ripped the papers with force, her expression contorted with ferocity.


    Gwendolyn calmly observed Samantha tearing the papers. She waited until Samantha had finished


    before speaking indifferently. “Ms. Lane, you seem to enjoy tearing things apart. I’ve prepared plenty of


    copies. You can tear them to your heart’s content.”


    Justin swiftly retrieved arge box behind the sofa and heavily put it on the coffee table. He opened the


    box before everyone and grabbed a stack of papers, flinging them toward the Lane family trio.


    Ezra joined in the fun and scattered the papers around. Before long, the spacious living room of the


    Lane residence was covered in scattered sheets,pletely filling the floor.


    Unable to utter a single word, Samantha was so angry that she felt like she would vomit.


    Gwendolyn’s eyes sparkled in amusement as she delivered the final blow in a gentle voice. “Come on,


    keep tearing. If you don’t wear out your hands today, don’t even think about walking out of this vi’s


    door on your feet.”


    “You!”


    Samantha had fallen into Gwendolyn’s hands several times before. Her legs felt weak at Gwendolyn’s


    words. Since Louis was still unconscious, she could only plead for help with Shirley. She then threw


    herself at Shirley’s feet.


    “Mom! You must save me! She’s holding so much evidence against me. She won’t let me off easily!”


    Shirley, who had already wiped the blood off her mouth and tidied her hair that Louis had messed up,


    reluctantly regained herposed demeanor as a powerful career woman.


    She gently touched Samantha’s face and turned to re fiercely at Gwendolyn.


    “So what if you have these so-called pieces of evidence? Last time, you brought a gang of people, and


    the Lane family couldn’t match you. But today, you’ve only brought two.”


    She smirked cunningly. “Since you’re here, don’t expect to leave the gates of the Lane residence


    easily!”


    With that, she signaled the Lane family’s bodyguards, and they swiftly descended from various parts of


    the vi. Soon, thirty bodyguards surrounded the people in the living room.


    Since Gwendolyn barged in the previous time, Shirley has learned her lesson and deliberately hired a


    larger group of bodyguards.


    Little did she know they woulde in handy so soon.


    Regardless of the recent plummet in Lane Group’s stock prices and the substantial losses they


    incurred, as long as she was still around, the Lane family’s connections in Faike would remain, and


    the Lane family would eventually rise again!


    Shirley felt triumphant. “Last time, you smashed my luxury car and injured Sammy with a knife. Since


    you’vee uninvited today, I’ll start by stabbing you a hundred times! Attack!”


    The Lane family’s bodyguards immediately surged forward.


    Ezra and Justin swiftly positioned themselves in front of Gwendolyn to protect her.


    Gwendolyn chuckled lightly and coldly locked eyes with Shirley. “Mrs. Lane, do you really think that I


    came unprepared?” With that, she raised her hand and pped twice.


    Previously surrounded by housekeepers, the entrance suddenly cleared a path as if by its own ord.


    Shirley and Samantha had a sinking feeling and turned their gaze toward the entrance.


    A handsome man dressed in solemn military attire walked in. He emanated a strong presence and


    overwhelming aura.


    Behind him, a group of police officers swiftly mobilized, surrounding the entire hall.
