Chapter 822
She was finished.
Completely finished.
Once she was sent back to Elyndor.
She would face an even more brutal treatment from the Lancaster family.
No p>
She didn’t want this!
She couldn’t lose everything!
Her wailing eventually faded from the estate.
Peace returned to the manor.
Yet, none of the guests dared to speak.
They looked at Serena with a mix of shock and sheer terror.
Just what was the background of this newly found Vinton heiress?
She had actually made a group of ruthless outlaws cower so pathetically before her.
So much for the rumors of her being a country bumpkin p>
That was total garbage!
She was someone even Princess Isadora of Vaelion was willing to fiercely protect.
Could she possibly be a nobody?
This Vinton heiress was practically an untouchable deity!
The guests completely changed their tunes, erupting into thunderous applause and showering her with endless praise.
It was as if their previous insults and doubts, spoken when they faced death just moments ago, had never happened.
Serena casually swept her gaze over the thirty-something mercenaries still cowering on the ground.
They didn’t dare move an inch.
“Call the police,” Serena said coolly.
Nicholas Blackwood nodded and pulled out his phone.
“No… we were just paid to do a job. Don’t call the cops. De-Miss Serena, please don’t call the police Captain Kane never expected that a quick payday would end with him in cuffs.
He desperately wanted to fly to Elyndor and slice that old woman who placed the order into pieces!
But even knowing Serena was calling the police.
He didn’t dare run.
He only trembled harder, begging frantically.
Silas ordered the bodyguards to tie up the mercenaries while they waited for the local authorities.
Looking at the outlaws who completely lacked the will to fight back, he glanced sideways at his niece’s profile.
He recalled the day at the sanatorium.
The Vinton Group had been under a devastating Short Attack.
With one move, she had effortlessly turned the tide.
And now p>
These mercenaries were as obedient as terrified puppies in front of her.
He suddenly felt p>
That his understanding of his niece didn’t even scratch the surface of the iceberg.
The police arrived quickly and took all the mercenaries away.
Order was restored to the manor’s banquet.
But the atmosphere had completely shifted.
Now, all the guests looked at Serena, and their gazes were no longer filled with calculating assessment or subtle disdain.
Now, there was only awe and intense curiosity.
Holden Vinton took advantage of everyone’s focus on Serena.
He took her hand, led her to the center of the banquet hall, and accepted a microphone from the butler.
“I apologize for the farce tonight,” Holden said.
“Although some unpleasant
occurred, today I have officially welcomed my biological
harvel.ne
granddaughter back, and that more than makes up for it p>
Under the spotlight, the old man
made a solemn and serious
announcement. “Taking this
vel
opportunity have two things to announce p>
“First, starting today, all the shares under my name have been transferred to my granddaughter, Serena Lancaster. She is now the Vinton Majority shareholder
Gasps echoed through the hall.
All the shares under Holden’s name?
That… was worth hundreds of billions of dollars!
Holden was unbelievably generous!
“Second,” Holden looked at Serena, his eyes warm. “My granddaughter, Serena
Lancaster, is the Official Successor of Vinton Group p>
The crowd gasped even louder.
A few seconds later.
Deafening applause erupted.
