NovelEnglishChapter 1334: Without hesitation, Patrick moved closer and gently pressed down on Serena's hand, whispering, "We still need to find Samson's brothers and their families. Keep him alive for now. Plus, this place could be full of complex traps." Though Harlee had never set foot in the Fletcher family's dungeon, her instincts told her it was far from straightforward.
Patrick's words seemed to anchor Serena back to reality. Ever since she entered the Fletcher home, her temper had flared more than usual, stripping her of her calm.
Fixing her gaze on Samson, who was pinning Brinley down, Serena said, "Tell me! Where are your brothers?" "I've locked Valentin up in here. He holds the secret to the treasure map, so it's crucial that I keep him alive." Samson slowly rose from Brinley, whose face was so swollen that it was almost unrecognizable, and a patch of her hair had been ripped out. She was in a truly awful condition.

After Brinley deserted you, Rhett and his wife considered adopting you. But they couldn't stand up to Brinley." The news that Rhett Fletcher, her second uncle, had once thought of adopting her was new to Serena.
Stunned by this revelation, Serena stood frozen, struggling to process the information. She had always believed the Fletcher family held no affection for her. Despite her successes after her departure from the Fletcher family back then, she never planned to return. Had it not been for Paulina's insistence, she might never have cback.
Interrupting her thoughts, Samson loudly said, "Oh, I forgot to mention. I've killed everyone in Rhett's family." His tone was casual, as though he were discussing an everyday task.
Before Serena could grasp the full extent of his words, Samson smirked viciously, saying, "Rhett was a fool. After spending so long bedridden, he should have stayed there. Instead, he played the hero for Valentin. I wasn't in the best of moods, so I sent his whole family to their doom." The news devastated Serena. Pain overwhelmed her, so intense that it stole her breath. She hadn't even asked them why they had acted so indifferent toward her in the past. Now, she would never have the chance to hear their answer.
Serena's mind wandered, while Harlee's gaze remained fixed on her. Noticing this, Samson quickly moved to the side and pressed a switch on the wall.
"Serena!" Patrick had been right beside Serena the entire time. When he saw Samson leap up, he feared an attack and swiftly enveloped Serena in his arms, shielding her with his body.
For a brief moment, Serena was motionless, her gaze locked on Patrick's concerned eyes. She allowed herself to be held without resisting.
Nearby, Harlee silently pulled back her foot. She was about to apprehend Samson when suddenly the dungeon was engulfed in darkness and began to shake violently, as though it might collapse. “What's happening? Why is everything shaking?" "Did anyone see Samson move toward the wall? He might have triggered something." Panic spread through the darkness.
