Chapter 188
"I'll be careful next time," Elijah said simply.But what he really meant was, "I'll be careful about twists like this next time.""Hmph!" Margaret glared at him. "Don't even pretend to be sorry in my presence, Surnamed Langston. Frank Allen was there to protect sweet Serena and even got injured—where were you...?"Before Elijah could open his mouth, Rosalie blurted from the bedside, "Playing around with rich women..."He frowned."Rosalie, don't talk nonsense," Serena warned, but Rosalie pouted and protested in response."If you think I'm lying, ask Mom."Margaret puffed out her chest and turned to say, "I don't need to be asked—I'll expose it right now and here. Your uncle Ted caught Elijah flirting with a rich woman early this morning."Elijah's expression couldn't help but grow darker on hearing this.Tedrick DiLaurentis never accepted defeat; instead, he had spun a story into Margaret's ear.He simply looked to see Serena's reaction and completely ignored his mother-in-law.Seren
Chapter 187
Serena let out a long sigh. "Mom, I'm just saying Anthony might have capitalized on something else.""But he didn't." Margaret clenched her fist. "I don't even think Anthony Lancaster is involved in this. It's that despicable officer and that so-called high-profile media person who can't keep their dogs in their pants. They see my beautiful daughter and decide to come up with a plan to do something despicable. I've seen Anthony on screen—he's a reserved man. Those two only used his name to carry out evil. If this useless person hadn't assaulted Anthony, that officer wouldn't have found an excuse to arrest you."Serena let out another long sigh.Only she knew what she now knew about Anthony Lancaster.She definitely couldn't tell her family that she had lost her purity to the man being scolded in the corner of the room. Margaret would surely tear him apart in their presence.Moreover, she had her pride and image to protect in Brooklyn Heights.For that reason, she had only told the po
Chapter 186
An hour later, in the West District General Hospital, Serena lay on a hospital bed, dressed in a plain blue patient gown. Her face was still slightly pale, but that didn't take away from the natural beauty of her porcelain-smooth skin.Her family stood quietly by the bed.Rosalie sat closest, hands on her knees, eyes fixed on Serena without moving, while Richard sat in a wheelchair at the corner of the room.Margaret sat on the opposite side, fingers clutching the edge of the blanket; her expression was fierce, as though she were struggling to hold something back.She suddenly sprang up and let out an outburst. "Serena, we are divorcing that bastard today. I don't care if your grandfather agrees or not. Even if we have to hire a hitman to take that useless Langston out of your life!""Margaret, the doctor says she needs to rest, and we shouldn't disturb her with noise," Richard cautioned from the side. But Margaret's angry expression fell on him and she transferred her aggression."
Chapter 185
Elijah did not answer, nor did he make any immediate movement. He simply stood there, his back to them.Under the dim green emergency light, his figure appeared calm… too calm to be real. The officers couldn’t see his face, only a silent silhouette standing in the middle of the wrecked room with his back turned to them.Officer Sophia gritted her teeth. “I’ll say it one more time,” she warned loudly. “Step away from her and kneel with your hands on your head.”Still, Elijah Langston remained motionless, as if he had not heard her at all.A faint tension spread through the team of officers, causing them to tighten their grips on their rifles. All they needed right now was the order to take this person down.“You!” Sophia raised her voice. “Kneel—!”Before she could finish, Elijah Langston flicked his sleeves back without warning.The movement was clean, sharp, and so fast that some officers didn’t even see
Chapter 184
Andrew clenched his fist and took a step back instinctively. He didn't think the intruder could survive such electricity, or even kill the two capable men he had with him."You! Don't you dare think you can do whatever you want here. You may have killed people today, but let me tell you: I'm associated with the great Ainsworth family and I'm the right-hand man of Madam Ainsworth. If anything happens to me today, you'll have only yourself to blame."Now that it had come to this, how could he not use the name of his employer against this strong person? The Ainsworths were well respected and feared in Brooklyn Heights."All the more reason to kill you today," Elijah said coldly, his eyes flickering. He had been planning to pay the Ainsworths a visit soon enough, but perhaps sending them a message first was best."You!" Andrew's face distorted.Officer Mark smirked as he rolled his shoulders, letting the twin blades slide freely. "Don't be scared of his nonsense, Andrew. As long as I'
Chapter 183
Elijah Langston's steps were unhurried as he moved closer and looked at those who were left."Are those who electrocuted her dead yet?" His voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to put immense pressure in the room.The foam around her lips from convulsions and the burn marks on parts of her skin were evidence that electricity had been used on her. How could they have the heart to do this?The two burly men looked at each other and back to Elijah before slowly revealing the highly charged stun rod they had. What better answer did Elijah Langston need?The two men charged the rod to its maximum with electricity that could stop someone's heart on the spot if touched.One took a step and snorted coldly. "What if we are responsible? What are you going to do today?"The other stepped forward with a sly smirk that almost reached his ears. "I enjoyed putting electricity into her body and hearing her scream just now. Do you want to get a feel of electricity?" He brandished the stun rod, an e
