Chapter 28: Seraphine the ’Fierce’
When a group of aggressive strangers barged into the house, Seraphine’s family members were understandably startled.
Though their family was an old and established one, they were still just a powerful business clan—not some underground syndicate. They held influence, yes, but they were far from being a criminal organization.
Naturally, Seraphine was the only one who remained completely unfazed. In fact, she was arguably the most fearless (or perhaps brainless) member of the entire family.
"You—what do you think you’re doing?! How dare you trespass into our private residence! Do you believe I won’t call the police and have you bunch of uncultured thugs thrown in jail?" a middle-aged man shouted.
He was tall, composed, and carried himself with a noble air. Upon a single glance, it was evident that his position within the family was far from ordinary.
"Didn’t you hear my father speak? Get the hell out of here!" Seraphine sneered. "Aldric, I can’t believe someone like you would associate with this kind of lowlife. Know your place and get out of my house already."
Born into luxury, Seraphine naturally looked down on anyone she deemed beneath her.
But what she didn’t realize was that this deranged bunch would torture her to death without a shred of hesitation if she ever dared to threaten their interests.
Viper casually slung an arm around Aldric’s shoulder, patting him as if to say, Don’t worry. I’ll handle this.
"You spoiled bitch—what nonsense are you babbling about? Other than having a decent face and some family backing, what do you have that can even compare to our Aldric?" Viper snapped. "Having an engagement with him is a blessing for you. If you ask me, you don’t even deserve to stand next to him. And you, old man—go ahead, call the cops if you dare. Or better yet, let me call them. After all, it’s you people who ganged up to bully my brother first."
Both Seraphine and her father were livid. As the head of a powerful household, he had never been spoken to in such a disrespectful tone before.
And Seraphine—raised as a noble lady, praised since the day she was born—couldn’t accept the fact that someone would dare curse her to her face.
