Chapter 131: Seducing Rich Men
"How dare she crash your car?" Clara fumed, her voice rising with anger. "I’ll sue her for this!"
"No, Mother, don’t," Briena interjected quickly, trying to calm her down. "We can use this opportunity to negotiate with her—convince her to withdraw the complaint and free my fans who were held back after attacking her."
Sephina nodded thoughtfully. "Let her off this time. We’ll deal with her in a different way."
Just then, a servant entered and informed them that Amelia and Ivan had arrived to visit Briena.
Clara leaned in and whispered urgently to her sister, "Briena, keep up the good act, alright? This is a chance to show Ivan that Natalie was never the right choice for him."
Sephina’s cold voice cut through the room, full of authority. "And he should regret everything he did to you. If he doesn’t start taking you seriously, we’ll break off this engagement."
"Grandma, please, no," Briena pleaded, desperation lacing her voice. "I really love him. He may still be caught up with Natalie, but it won’t be long before he only has eyes for me."
Sephina’s gaze softened slightly as she regarded her granddaughter. "You are my precious child, and I’ve raised you with all my heart. I won’t let anyone tarnish you." Her tone turned sharp again. "I don’t want to hear of him disrespecting you ever again. I didn’t raise you to be someone’s toy, used for their dirty pleasures."
"It won’t happen again, Grandma," Briena promised.
Just then, Amelia and Ivan entered the living room.
"My dear, are you alright?" Amelia rushed to Briena’s side, her face etched with worry. She sat next to her and took her hand gently. "You must have been so scared."
