Serenity smiled. “Mrs. Lane and I should be enough.”
The store her sister rented was not large. If too many people went to help, it would look crowded with the customers coming in to have breakfast.
While the two friends chatted, two—no, three people walked in
One of them was Noah, Serenity’s youngest cousin. He tried stopping Serenity’s car in the middle of the night last year and wanted to teach her a lesson, but she sent him to the police station.
He was released after fifteen days of detention, but he did not repent and instead hated Serenity with a passion.
He dropped out of school and stopped studying. His parents spoiled him and felt that his grades were not good enough to get him accepted into a university anyway, so they let him do as he pleased.
After dropping out of school, Noah did nothing except play games.
He came along the last time his grandfather visited the store to cause trouble, but Serenity did not notice him because there were too many people.
“Let me go! I said let me go!”
Noah struggled against the two burly men who dragged him inside.
Serenity had never seen the two men before, but she could guess that they were people Zachary had arranged to secretly keep an eye on—Ahem, to secretly protect her.
The two bodyguards dragged Noah in and pushed him, and Noah fell to the ground. He quickly got up and hurriedly hid behind Serenity.
“Serenity, help me!”
Serenity ripped her punk cousin from behind her and asked with a cold face, “What did you do?”
“Missus, this kid has been following you and kept taking pictures of you. When he lost your trail, he came straight here and tried to slash your car tires when he saw no one around. We managed to stop him before he did.”
At those words, Serenity slapped Noah’s arm, causing him to jump. He wanted to cuss at her, but when he saw her frosty face, he remembered how formidable she was when she beat him up the last time. He was full of anger, but he did not dare vent it at Serenity.
