Chapter 116
For a moment Rose had no idea what to do. She knew then and there that it was over für her. the regretted ever cominte was the way it used to be anyinnie,
She used to leave on Instinct. She thought that as long as she wasn’t present, she could derry everything about today’s ceremony and no idea it ever happened.
But Malcolm stepped in to block Roxanne. “We’re not done here yet, Mrs. Vance“
She snapped, “Get out of my way! I’m leaving Anyone who tries to stop me will regret
Malcolm replied, “Sure, you can leave. But I don’t think all the Velvyn in the courtyard have been rounded up yet.
“Who knows, maybe one of them is hiding out somewhere. You really think it’s safe for you to walk out there alone? What if you get caught and tom apart?”
That stopped Roxanne in her tracks. She didn’t dare move. She didn’t want to die. The scene she had just witnessed was far too gruesome and horrific She wasn’t about to go out like that.
Her face twisted in frustration, but she didn’t dare walk away. All she could do was glare at Sharon. “Happy now? Loo family. This is all your fault.”
done to the Vance
Sharon shot back, “You started this. If you hadn’t come after me and my brothers, none of this would’ve happened. So what does that tell you? Don’t go picking fights when you can’t back it up.”
Marvin clapped slowly, his expression blank, thinking, ‘Oh, that is one solid comeback. Shark is the whole package, man. She’s cool, sharp, and badass. From now on, she’s not just my sister. She’s my idol.
Roxanne looked like the life had drained out of her. Her body went slack, and she collapsed on the floor. This time, she really did pass out. And there was no servant by her side to break the fall. She hit the ground hard with a painful thud.
Malcolm rubbed his temples and gave an order. “Someone please send her to the infirmary”
“I need to go to the hospital” Kanen suddenly grabbed his ankle, blood dripping from her mouth. Whatever happened earlier must’ve damaged her
organs
Malcolm felt a headache coming on, wondering, “What the hell even is this? The Council Hall had been peaceful for years, and now suddenly it’s a warzone. And the worst part? Every last one of these patients did this to themselves.
“Why can’t young people today just live their lives in peace? No, they just have to stir up trouble. And now they’ve run into someone they can’t handle.
Serves them right
Ater the two troublemakers were dragged away, the hall quieted down significantly
Susan propped herself up and took in the scene. At this point, she understood everything clearly. The Pierce family had been completely played by the Vance family. But the humiliation Sharon dealt her today? That, she wouldn’t forget
Susan thought, ‘So what if Sharon inherited the Vance family today? She still has a long way from surpassing the Pierces, the Dolans, or the Baters.”
She pushed herself up and said, “I’m going to get some rest.” She figured since the other elders hadn’t arrived yet, she might as well see a doctor first
Her throat and lungs were still aching.
Once most of the guests had left, Sharon finally let out a quiet breath and thought, “This went better than expected. After today, no one will dare underestimate my brothers again or treat them like second–tier relatives! Just the thought of it filled her with delight.

Richard looked at her with concern and asked, “Are you okay!”.
“I’m all good. I’m tougher than look, you know?’ I don’t get hurt that easily Sharon fashed hini a sweet smile and then glancer
It was almost like she was saying. “Besides, he stepped in to protect me just now. How could I possibly get hurt?”!
As the two exchanged glances, a chorus of very deliberate caught rang out around them–annoying and clearly pointed. But lichetat side tran

At that moment, Edward stepped out from the side hall and smiled, “Well, looks like everything is wrapped up, huh? Let’s talk business them?
Nicholas caught a glimpse of his grandfather’s expression and suddenly had a very bad feeling
The next second, Edward said, “I hear this rascal has been dailing Shatt. In that case, it’s time we talk about the wedding Batter to start preparing early. right?”
The moment he mentioned the wedding, all eight of Sharon’s brothers looked like they’d been hit with a bad case of storm clouds
