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 Serena 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.
Serena had never seen the two men before, but she could guess that they were people Zack 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 Serena.
“Serena, help me!”
Serena 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, Serena 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 Serena.
He could only rub the place where she slapped while looking at her cautiously.
“I thought it was the paparazzi, but it was just you. Why are you following me? Did he use a cell phone or a camera to take the photos?”
The second question was directed at the bodyguards.
One of them answered, “He took them using his phone.”
He handed Serena a cell phone along with a small knife. “This is his phone, and this is the knife he tried to slash your tires with.”
Serena took the phone and knife, then stared coldly at Noah. The boy shrunk and said defensively, “I–I just took a few photos, and I didn’t slash your tires. Why are you looking at me like that? It’s like you’re going to eat me up.”
Serena did not rush to ask him why he was following her and taking pictures of her.
he first took the knife out.
Noah must have followed her in a car. She wondered if he used his own car or if he borrowed his cousin’s car.
Although it was a new year and Noah was eighteen this year, his birthday had not passed yet, so he was still considered a minor. In other words, he was driving without a license. He really had guts!
He was spoiled by his family and did not know fear. Driving without a license was nothing for him.
Noah quickly reacted.
He immediately chased after Serena while yelling, “Serena. Seren, Seren! Don’t slash my tires. I borrowed this car from John. He said he’ll never let me touch his car again if I damage it.”
John’s car was a luxury ride.
Everyone wanted Noah to follow Serena, so he took the opportunity to ask John to lend him his luxury car. Otherwise, he would not have agreed to do something like this which would only end up in him being beaten up by Serena.
None of them had ever fought with Serena, so they did not know how good she was at fighting.
Noah was aware too that everyone pushed him to this job because he was not a legal adult yet.
Serena did not know which car Noah used at first, but since he volunteered the information, she managed to find John’s car. After all, out of all of the cousins,
John’s car was the best.
Serena walked over, raised the knife, and slashed all four tires of John’s car.
The tires were punctured and deflated. Soon, all four tires were flat.
“Oh no, oh no.”
Noah looked at the flat tires and seemed frightened. “I don’t have enough money to get new tires for him. Serena!”
He shouted at her, “You need to pay for it!”
Serena looked at him coldly.
he walked over while playing with the knife.
Noah’s yelling became quiet.
Standing in front of him, Serena patted his face with the knife.
Noah was so scared that he did not dare breathe. His eyes were filled with fear.
He was terrified that this damned woman would slash his face and disfigure him.
He did not have a wife yet.
“Whose idea was this?”
“W–What idea?”
“Following me, taking pictures of me, and slashing my tires. Whose idea was it? What’s their purpose?”
Did they want to sell her photos to the media for money?
Serena did not think it was that simple.
“I–I just did it because I wanted to get back at you. I don’t have any other purpose.”
Noah did not dare reveal that his cousins were plotting something.
Everyone thought that their current predicament was caused by Serena and her husband.
They pestered the Yorks countless times but did not get money. Old Mr. Hunt
scolded Scott, who had been dead for many years, for giving birth to two unfilial girls. Serena was rich and powerful, but she did not even bother helping her family. Instead, she caused her cousins to lose their jobs.
Old Mr. Hunt also scolded Serena for not helping her female cousins out and letting them marry into a rich family after she married into one herself. He said that if any other granddaughter of his married into the York family, he would become in–laws with the York family and be their esteemed guest.
Just by thinking about it, everyone felt dignified and proud.
Then, John thought of a deadly plan. He said that Harriet, John’s younger sister, was close to Serena in age. Harriet took after her father, Chris, and it was said that Chris and Scott looked somewhat similar, and Serena mostly took after her father too.
Thus, Harriet and Serena also looked somewhat similar.
John proposed to have Harriet change her face into Serena’s, then kidnap Serena and send her into a deep forest so she could never come back. Then, Harriet could replace Serena to become the eldest missus of the York family.
The eldest missus of the York family would then be one of their own. John felt that his sister would definitely side with her maiden family.
His plan was approved by everyone.
Noah looked at Serena and thought in his heart, ‘John overlooked one thing. Although Harriet resembled Serena, even if she undergoes plastic surgery to have Serena’s face and imitate Serena’s way of doing things, Serena knows kickboxing, whereas Harriet has been spoiled since birth. She can’t even lift a bucket of water, let alone fight.
‘Will John’s plan really work?’
Harriet had already gone for cosmetic surgery. Noah had not seen what she looked like after the surgery, so he did not know if she really had Serena’s face now.
“Noah Hunt, you know me, right? If you don’t talk, I’ll slash a few lines across your face. You’re already ugly enough with pimples all over your face. It’ll be horrid if I add some blade scars to that. You’ll never get a wife and have to stay single all your life.”
Noah visibly blanched and stammered, “I–I can’t say…”
With just that, Serena knew that her relatives were planning something big to deal with her.
She said to the two bodyguards, “Bring him in for me. I’ll take good care of my little cousin.”
“W–Wait, I’ll go by myself. Don’t let them touch me. They’re too rough.”
