Chapter 188 Do Not Even Think About Leaving
“It’s you! How did you get in?”
Gwendolyn gracefully played with her nails and answered unhurriedly, “I had the security guard inform
the butler and entered through the front gate.”
The butler let her in?
How could the butler, who has worked with our family all these years, be bought off so quickly?
Samantha glared at the woman with murderous eyes.
Gwendolyn saw through her mind and added, “Even rats will abandon a sinking ship. Today is the day
the Lane family falls, and he naturally knows what to do.”
Furious, Samantha gritted her teeth and sprang up from the ground. “You wicked woman! You’ve gone
too far! Do you think we’ll crumble just because you harm us like that? You’re dreaming!”
“Harm the Lane family?”
Gwendolyn sneered, “This can hardly be considered harm. I merely exposed the Lane family’s dirty
secrets to the world. Why would you fear those rumors if your family was truly innocent?”
“You!”
Samantha was infuriated, but she couldn’t deny the truth. The Lane Group’s troubles and the issues
with Shirley and Louis were all brought upon themselves!
In the room behind her, the screams grew more intense and desperate.
“Ah! Louis! How dare you lay a hand on me? How dare you abuse me? I’ll make sure you pay for this!
Both you and your mistress should be executed!”
Then, the woman’s screams rang out again. “Help! Louis is going to kill someone! Save me! Sammy,
come and save me!”
Having been beaten up, Shirley also screamed until her voice turned hoarse.
Samantha was about to go downstairs to confront Gwendolyn when she realized something was amiss
inside the room. She hurriedly entered to intervene.
However, it seemed her presence was futile as the commotion resumed quickly. The voices became
increasingly chaotic.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGwendolyn had brought only Ezra and Justin with her that day. So there weren’t many of them.
The noise upstairs was unbearable. Gwendolyn raised an eyebrow and discreetly rubbed her ears.
“You two, go up and try to calm them down and bring everyone downstairs.”
“Understood.”
Ezra and Justin quickly took action.
Justin knocked Louis unconscious with a single punch and forcefully carried him downstairs.
Those involved in the fight were all taken away. Shirley and Samantha followed behind as they headed
downstairs.
Shirley’s hair was disheveled. After all, the strength gap between a man and a woman was too big.
Both her cheeks were swollen. Blood trickled from the corners of her mouth, and tear stains marked
her face.
Samantha didn’t fare any better as she entered. She received an unintended slap from Louis.
Gwendolyn instructed Ezra to bring a small sofa and place it across the coffee table. She then seated
each of the three individuals on separate couches.
The Lane family’s butlers and servants quietly gathered near the doorway, observing the spectacle.
They were surprised to see Gwendolyn seated in the central position, as if she were more like the
owner than anyone from the Lane family, exerting absolute dominance.
She leaned back gently, resting against the back of the sofa, and cast a fleeting gaze at the three
individuals across from her. With her slender and fair hand, she lightly applauded.
“How splendid it is to start my day with such a family drama.”
Shirley’s face swelled from the beating, causing her pain whenever she moved her mouth. As she
tidied her appearance, she glared at Gwendolyn with resentment.
Samantha glared at Gwendolyn with an evil look and took the lead to speak. “Don’t think the Lane
family can be easily brought down! I won’t let these matters go so easily! I’ll get back at you for
everything in the future! Don’t get too smug too soon!”
Gwendolyn chuckled upon hearing Samantha’s words. “Get back at me? Unfortunately, I’m afraid you
won’t have that opportunity.”
Samantha was momentarily stunned by Gwendolyn’s cold and arrogant gaze. She felt a hint of
inexplicable unease.
“What do you mean?”
Gwendolyn glanced at Ezra but directed her words at Samantha. “Come, let’s have a look at the gift I
have prepared for you.”
Ezra understood her meaning and stepped forward, placing a document on the table.
“Ms. Lane, this document contains evidence of your involvement in the kidnapping and attempted
murder of Charmaine, a former trainee of the talent show. This one shows your embezzlement of eight
billion and eight hundred million from Wright Construction Group’s funds. Ms. Shalders is now the head
of Wright Construction Group and has the authority to reclaim that money from you. And this document
is…”
Ezra spent a solid five minutes meticulously recounting Samantha’s clandestine deeds.
Samantha stared at the pile of papers in shock.
How did this wicked woman manage to uncover all my private matters in such a short time?
This is impossible!
Samantha rushed to the coffee table and tore the evidence into tiny pieces. It seemed like an outlet for
her anger as she ripped the papers with force, her expression contorted with ferocity.
Gwendolyn calmly observed Samantha tearing the papers. She waited until Samantha had finished
before speaking indifferently. “Ms. Lane, you seem to enjoy tearing things apart. I’ve prepared plenty of
copies. You can tear them to your heart’s content.”
Justin swiftly retrieved a large box behind the sofa and heavily put it on the coffee table. He opened the
box before everyone and grabbed a stack of papers, flinging them toward the Lane family trio.
Ezra joined in the fun and scattered the papers around. Before long, the spacious living room of the
Lane residence was covered in scattered sheets, completely filling the floor.
Unable to utter a single word, Samantha was so angry that she felt like she would vomit.
Gwendolyn’s eyes sparkled in amusement as she delivered the final blow in a gentle voice. “Come on,
keep tearing. If you don’t wear out your hands today, don’t even think about walking out of this villa’s
door on your feet.”
“You!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSamantha had fallen into Gwendolyn’s hands several times before. Her legs felt weak at Gwendolyn’s
words. Since Louis was still unconscious, she could only plead for help with Shirley. She then threw
herself at Shirley’s feet.
“Mom! You must save me! She’s holding so much evidence against me. She won’t let me off easily!”
Shirley, who had already wiped the blood off her mouth and tidied her hair that Louis had messed up,
reluctantly regained her composed demeanor as a powerful career woman.
She gently touched Samantha’s face and turned to glare fiercely at Gwendolyn.
“So what if you have these so-called pieces of evidence? Last time, you brought a gang of people, and
the Lane family couldn’t match you. But today, you’ve only brought two.”
She smirked cunningly. “Since you’re here, don’t expect to leave the gates of the Lane residence
easily!”
With that, she signaled the Lane family’s bodyguards, and they swiftly descended from various parts of
the villa. Soon, thirty bodyguards surrounded the people in the living room.
Since Gwendolyn barged in the previous time, Shirley has learned her lesson and deliberately hired a
larger group of bodyguards.
Little did she know they would come in handy so soon.
Regardless of the recent plummet in Lane Group’s stock prices and the substantial losses they
incurred, as long as she was still around, the Lane family’s connections in Fairlake would remain, and
the Lane family would eventually rise again!
Shirley felt triumphant. “Last time, you smashed my luxury car and injured Sammy with a knife. Since
you’ve come uninvited today, I’ll start by stabbing you a hundred times! Attack!”
The Lane family’s bodyguards immediately surged forward.
Ezra and Justin swiftly positioned themselves in front of Gwendolyn to protect her.
Gwendolyn chuckled lightly and coldly locked eyes with Shirley. “Mrs. Lane, do you really think that I
came unprepared?” With that, she raised her hand and clapped twice.
Previously surrounded by housekeepers, the entrance suddenly cleared a path as if by its own accord.
Shirley and Samantha had a sinking feeling and turned their gaze toward the entrance.
A handsome man dressed in solemn military attire walked in. He emanated a strong presence and
overwhelming aura.
Behind him, a group of police officers swiftly mobilized, surrounding the entire hall.
