Chapter 421
“Riley, that… that girl, ahem! That warrior princess, did you see her? She… she kicked that door down in one go p>
Trevor swallowed hard, his face a mask of horror. “Riley, a bodyguard with that kind of strength, and a girl that cool… she’s out of your league p>
He was worried that if Riley actually managed to win her over, one day he might accidentally tick her off.
And then… one kick!
Game over!
With stars in his eyes, Riley watched the girl in the dressing room, her expression gentle as she spoke with Brianna.
He chuckled. “Don’t you guys think… she’s incredibly cool p>
Darius and Trevor were confused.
Riley’s face was full of infatuation. “I think… a girl like that is the only one who can handle me! Being with her would make me feel so safe p>
Darius and Trevor were speechless.
It was over.
Riley was completely smitten, utterly mad.
Inside the dressing room.
Serena finished putting the rest of the jewelry on Brianna.
Seeing herself in the mirror, adorned with jewelry custom-made for her by her idol, Brianna’s eyes welled up with emotion.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps approached from outside the dressing room.
An icy chill, heavy with suppressed fury, swept in.
Nicholas’s tall, elegant figure appeared at the doorway. He carried a coldness that hadn’t dissipated, and his handsome, almost ethereal face had lost its usual lazy, devil-may-care charm, replaced by a terrifying frostiness.
His enchanting dark eyes, turbulent as a storm-tossed sea, swept across the dressing room.
Even though the bodyguards had tidied up, the mess was still visible.
His gaze darkened further, finally landing on Brianna’s face.
Although the young woman had stopped crying, her slightly swollen eyes and the tear stains on her face revealed what had just happened.
His presence grew even more intimidating.
“Nicholas Seeing Nicholas, Brianna’s eyelashes trembled. The grievance she had just suppressed surged back up.
Nicholas walked over, his slender figure casting a protective shadow over Brianna.
The coldness in his eyes softened, replaced by a hint of tenderness.
He raised his hand and gently placed it on Brianna’s head, ruffling her hair.
“Were you scared?” he asked.
Brianna’s eyes were red as she sniffled and shook her head. “No, Serena got here really fast. She took down Brandon in an instant p>
Nicholas’s eyebrows lifted slightly as his deep, dark eyes turned to look intently at Serena, who stood to the side.
His lips moved slightly. “Thanks p>
Serena raised an eyebrow and gave a casual nod.
Nicholas knew what Serena was capable of.
Dealing with one Brandon was as easy as crushing an ant.
His gaze returned to Brianna, his tone growing heavy. “I let you hang around
Brandon before because, in my eyes, he was less than nothing—just something to amuse you and pass the time p>
“Besides, you were so fixated on him back then. If I had interfered, you would have only resented me p>
He paused. “Do you see clearly now p>
Brianna nodded repeatedly.
Nicholas asked again, “I’m going to make Brandon pay for this. Will you stop me p>
Brianna quickly shook her head, her
wet eyes wide. “Nicholas, Serena already snapped me out of it. I was foolish before, deceived by
Brandon’s sweet talk! But now that I have Serena, how could I be so naive
again?” ns

She mentioned Brandon with a look of disgust. “I’m not an idiot at all, and there’s no way I have any lingering feelings for him p>
“Good.” Nicholas’s lips curved into a smile as he ruffled Brianna’s hair again. “Leave the rest to me. Just focus on enjoying your birthday p>
Brianna looked at Serena, then at Nicholas, and her eyes crinkled into a smile. “Okay p>
Nicholas took out his phone and made a call, his voice coolly instructing the person on the other end, “The hand Brandon used to touch Brianna break it Then and him over to the police. I want him to rot in jail p>
“By tomorrow, I want to see the Keller family bankrupt and liquidated p>
“As for the woman with Brandon Nicholas’s gaze turned icy. “Since Brianna rescued her from the middle of nowhere and she clearly doesn’t know how to be grateful, send her back to the sticks p>
“Notify the lawyers. Calculate how much of Brianna’s money she spent through
Brandon over the years. Draw up a compensation bill and make her pay it back, with interest p>
“If she can’t pay, her parents will. Her relatives will p>
Serena’s elegantly arched brows rose slightly.
Breaking Brandon’s hand was punishment.
Bankruptcy was destroying his foundation.
Prison would be the final nail in the coffin for all of Brandon’s future possibilities.
As for Lauren p>
A girl who had finally escaped the mountains, sent back to her impoverished home with an astronomical debt.
What awaited her there would be true hell.
Nicholas’s series of actions was, to say the least… a precise and direct attack on his targets’ weakest points.
As he issued these commands, Nicholas’s gaze remained fixed on Brianna’s expression.
When he saw no trace of pity on her face, his features relaxed slightly.
He gave his final order: “The servant who let them in, along with his direct
supervisor-get them out of here. The Blackwood family has no use for people who can’t see what’s in front of them p>
Hanging up, Nicholas looked at Brianna. “It’s almost time. You need to get ready.
Can you still handle the party p>
Brianna immediately puffed out her chest and grabbed Serena’s hand, as if drawing strength from her. “I can! With Serena here, I feel at ease p>
