Martin was quick to soothe her. "It's okay, it's okay, you have me.
Don't worry, I won't let them get near you or bully you.
Even if they're here to back Lillian up, we have nothing to fear. This is Northwyn. This is our home turf."
Sabrina reached out and touched Martin's bruised face. He flinched in pain, jerking his head back.
"Look at you. They've already gotten physical. If they'll do this to you, do you think they'll be any kinder to me?"
Fearing she would touch his injured face again, Martin quickly grabbed her hand. "I was just caught off guard today. I went to see Lillian and didn't bring anyone with me.
Now that I know they're here, I'll bring security from now on. You should too. Remember to take bodyguards whenever you go out."
Sabrina replied, "I'm recovering at home, so I don't need to go out. But Bella commutes to work every day. I'm worried about her safety."
Martin nodded immediately. "Alright, I'll arrange for bodyguards to escort Bella to and from work every day. Are you relieved now?"
"It would be best if they just went back to where they came from. They hit you today; who knows what they'll do tomorrow. Honey, a group of people like that is truly terrifying."
Sabrina acted deeply anxious, and Martin also wanted to find a way to get rid of them.
Brandon, fuming, had skipped the office and come straight home, only to walk in on this conversation.
"Enough, Ms. Ward. Ever since you married my father, this family has had nothing but trouble. Not a single peaceful day. Does this even feel like a home anymore?
One day you're sending this person to jail, the next day it's someone else. Even Dad ended up behind bars for four days. Isn't that enough?
And you're still here, stirring up trouble. Do you know anything about the Lancaster family in Midvale? Do you have any idea how powerful they are?
