Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 264

Marianne’s knees slammed onto the hard ground.

The intense pain made her cry out in agony.

But she couldn’t move.

Patrick held her head and neck in a death grip, forcing her into an utterly humiliating position. He pushed her down in Serena’s direction.

He then slammed her head against the ground twice. “Apologize!”

When he looked up at Serena again, the change in his expression was as seamless as a mask changing.

He beamed at Serena with an incredibly sycophantic smile. “Serena, look… your mother has apologized to you like this. Dad knows you’re a filial child, so please forgive your mother…”

“You know your mother is just a blind fool with a filthy mouth. I’ll apologize to you too, okay?”

It was only then that Patrick noticed something…

Serena was dressed in a simple, plain white T-shirt and a pair of pants, with not a single luxury item on her.

Yet, standing among that group of top-tier heirs, her presence wasn't overshadowed in the slightest.

In fact…

She was even more dazzling than them.

It wasn't because of her striking, intensely beautiful features, but because of her aura…

It was so composed, as if… no, not 'as if.'

She was a king, surveying her domain.

A cold sweat instantly soaked the back of Patrick’s neck.

His pupils contracted in shock, a deep sense of dread filling his heart.

Was this really the country girl who grew up in the countryside, raised by his mother?

Why had he never sensed such an aura from Serena in the past twenty years?

Meanwhile, Serena stood with her hands in her pockets, her cool, bright eyes under the brim of her hat watching the scene unfold with calm indifference.

This scene made Benedict frown deeply.

He glanced at his fourth brother, Logan, who was curled up on the ground, his face twisted in pain. Then he looked at his mother, forcibly held on the ground by his own father, looking wretched and humiliated.

He couldn’t understand how things had suddenly escalated to this point.

He couldn't approve of his father’s actions.

But he also knew that, aside from this…

There was truly no better way.

If they truly offended this group of top-tier heirs, a single casual remark from them could plunge the Wynn family into a state of utter ruin.

Benedict closed his eyes, forcing himself to look away.

But his gaze…

Fell upon Hailey, who was cowering nearby, staring at Patrick in terror, like a timid little bird, not making a sound.
