Chapter 161: Warning

Ana rushed to Briena’s side, helping her to her feet. Tears streamed down Briena’s face, breaking Sephina’s heart.

"You vile creature," Sephina snarled. "The more you behave like this, the more I know I made the right decision not to accept you."

Natalie took a step toward Sephina, staring her down without a trace of fear. "I’ve always known you hated me, but I never realized your hatred ran so deep that you’d go this far to ruin my life."

Though Natalie’s gaze was cold, the pain in her eyes betrayed the hurt she was trying to hide.

"You didn’t deserve any of it, but Briena," Sephian spoke, thinking Natalie was referring to the plagiarism scandals or anything that was taken away from her.

"Yeah, what you did with me yesterday, your precious granddaughter deserves it instead of me," Natalie scoffed. "Then why did you spare her? You should have fed her that drug...."

"What’s going on here?" Clara immediately interrupted Natalie, "You, get out from here," and turned to Sephina quickly, "Mother, she keep hurting Breina, are you going to allow her." "Guards," Sephina ordered.

"Don’t bother," Natalie interrupted, her sharp gaze locking with Sephina’s. "I don’t enjoy seeing all your disgusting faces, but you keep dragging me back. Next time you make me come here, it won’t end simply like this. It will be a bloodbath." With that, she turned on her heel and stormed out.

Ryan followed her back, realizing this woman needs no protection at all.

"Security," Sephina snarled, fury radiating from her voice. "Make sure that wretch never steps foot in this building again. If she does, every one of you will be fired."

"Yes, Chairman Ford."

Clara exhaled with relief, grateful she had interrupted before Natalie could expose the truth about the drugging scheme. She pulled Briena into a comforting hug.
