Cornelia struggled to rise from the floor, her wrists and ankles bound together, forcing her into the same kneeling position as Bernard and the others.
This posture was clearly Serena’s way of forcing them into submission.
Wheeling her chair forward, Serena towered over them as they knelt, bound to the pillars by her subordinates. The sight filled her with vindictive satisfaction, yet she also pitied them. If only they had played fair, they wouldn’t have fallen to such lows.
Cornelia didn’t resist. Instead, she looked up with a mix of disappointment and disbelief. "Was it you who ordered us to be tied up?"
"Surprised? Unexpected?" Serena smiled. "Don’t worry, your precious granddaughter will come to save you soon. Do you know why I had you bound here instead of with your son and daughter-in-law? Because soon, I want to see who Rosemary will choose to save first – you or her parents."
Serena said this and burst into laughter again, only to continue after a while, "If she saves you first, she’ll watch her parents get hurt. If she saves them, she can only watch as you suffer. Just imagining her agony, her helplessness, unable to protect everyone, and finally being overwhelmed – and having to witness your demise at the same time."
The thought of this was a delight for Serena.
"It’s like the time I witnessed my own mother being pushed down the stairs."
She wanted Rosemary to experience that same torment!
"So, you wish for us to die?" Bernard, once seeing Serena as his "granddaughter," felt complex emotions. He never expected her to become so heartless in such a short time.
There’s truly no saving her now!
"My family is gone, so why should Rosemary live?I’m living in pain, why should you tread over me to happiness? You never cared about me, you all deserve to go to hell, you all deserve to die." Serena roared, her body shook with rage, and her eyes brimming with tears.
Bernard remained silent, his disappointment beyond words, unwilling to engage further.
Cornelia averted her eyes, convinced that Serena had lost her mind and that further words were futile.
Then wouldn’t it be dangerous for Rose and the others if they came? 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Suddenly, Louisa’s phone rang. Serena saw the screen reading the words "Darling Daughter," a phrase that cut deep into her heart!
She dismissed the call, changing the contact’s name to "Trash," and only after "Trash" called again did she lazily answer.
"I’m here," came Rosemary’s steady voice from the other end.
Rosemary, eyeing the decrepit hospital before her, didn’t immediately get out of the car. Her instincts told her that this was not the place.
"Have you arrived at HATTUT Hospital?" Serena asked gleefully. "Then come to the old mansion!"
Rosemary’s heart sank as she realized she had been deceived. "Where the hell are you?"
"Can’t you keep your shirt on? The old mansion at the East Gate isn’t the final stop either, but if you don’t go there, I’ll kill your bodyguards, starting with the youngest one."
"I’ll be there in twenty minutes." Rosemary dropped these words and hung up the call directly.
"Hahahaha." Serena was extremely delighted; it turned out that taking revenge on someone could bring such immense joy.
The thought of Rosemary scurrying around clueless, had to choose but to obediently follow orders, subject to her control, made Serena unbelievably happy in her heart.
Right then, her private phone beeped. It was a text from the network provider, and her brows furrowed in annoyance. Dialing back immediately, she asked somewhat cautiously, "Why are you just getting in touch now?"
"It was chaotic at the airport that night, and everyone was looking for me. Some even boarded the flight, so I didn’t board the plane and stayed in the country. I’ve been laying low until things cooled off before reaching out to you. Are you alright there?" Stinger’s voice came through the phone, as usual, cold and emotionless.
"I’m fine, couldn’t be better." Serena’s laugh. "Since that’s the case, come help me out. I’ll send you the location."
She had complete trust in Stinger.
In the phone left by her biological father, Erik, he had mentioned he had three godsons she could trust completely: Stinger, Nighthawk, and Tyrannosaurus.
