Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
Finally, it was their turn to be at a disadvantage.
“Honey, are you okay, honey.” Bernard, his limbs secured behind him, could only anxiously look over at Cornelia.
Cornelia struggled to rise from the floor, her wrists and ankles bound together, forcing her into the same kneeling position as Bernard and the others.
This posture was clearly Serena’s way of forcing them into submission.
Wheeling her chair forward, Serena towered over them as they knelt, bound to the pillars by her subordinates. The sight filled her with vindictive satisfaction, yet she also pitied them. If only they had played fair, they wouldn’t have fallen to such lows.
Cornelia didn’t resist. Instead, she looked up with a mix of disappointment and disbelief. “Was it you who ordered us to be tied up?”
“Surprised? Unexpected?” Serena smiled. “Don’t worry, your precious granddaughter will come to save you soon. Do you know why I had you bound here instead of with your son and daughter-in-law? Because soon, I want to see who Mirabella will choose to save first — you or her parents.”
Serena said this and burst into laughter again, only to continue after a while, “If she saves you first, she’ll watch her parents get hurt. If she saves them, she can only watch as you suffer. Just imagining her agony, her helplessness, unable to protect everyone, and finally being overwhelmed — and having to witness your demise at the same time.”
The thought of this was a delight for Serena.
“It’s like the time I witnessed my own mother being pushed down the stairs.”
She wanted Mirabella to experience that same torment!
“So, you wish for us to die?” Bernard, once seeing Serena as his “granddaughter,” felt complex emotions. He never expected her to become so heartless in such a short time.
There’s truly no saving her now!
“My family is gone, so why should Mirabella’s live?I’m living in pain, why should you tread over me to happiness. You never cared about me, you all deserve to go to hell, you all deserve to die.” Serena roared, her body shook with rage, and her eyes brimming with tears.
Bernard remained silent, his disappointment beyond words, unwilling to engage further.
Cornelia averted her eyes, convinced that Serena had lost her mind and that further words were futile.
Seeing their calm expressions only infuriated Serena more, so she deliberately provoked them further.
“Your five beloved grandsons will also be arriving today to accompany you in death. Don’t you like having the whole family together? Well, today, all of you can gather together in hell.”
She laughed until tears came again.
Across the way, Louisa sensed something was wrong; Serena dared to call the other five.
How could she be so confident?
The skills of the eldest and the others were not to be underestimated, and with Bella.
How could Serena be so sure that everyone would die here today?
Had she planted explosives or something in this area?
Then wouldn’t it be dangerous for Bella and the others if they came?
Suddenly, Louisa’s phone rang.
Serena saw the screen ding the I

after rast cdiled again did she lazily answer.
“I’m here,” came Mirabella’s steady voice from the other end.
Mirabella, eyeing the decrepit hospital before her, didn’t immedi tely get but cespegeniger eats told her that t ee not the place.
“You have arrived at HATTUT Hospital?” Serena asked gleefully. “Then come to the old mansion!”
Mirabella’s heart sank as she realized she had been deceived. “Where the hell are you?”
“Can’t you keep your shirt on? The old mansion at the East Gate isn’t the final stop either, but if you don’t go there, I’ll kill your bodyguards, starting with the youngest one.”
“I’ll be there in twenty minutes.” Mirabella dropped these words and hung up the call directly.
“Hahahaha.” Serena was extremely delighted; it turned out that taking revenge on someone could bring such immense joy.
The thought of Mirabella scurrying around clueless, had to choice but to obediently follow orders, subject to her control, made Serena unbelievably happy in her heart.
Right then, her private phone beeped. It was a text from the network provider, and her brows furrowed in annoyance. Dialing back immediately, she asked somewhat cautiously, “Why are you just getting in touch now?”
“It was chaotic at the airport that night, and everyone was looking for me. Some even boarded the flight, so I didn’t board the plane and stayed in the country. I’ve been laying low until things cooled off before reaching out to you. Are you alright there?”
Stinger’s voice came through the phone, as usual, cold and emotionless.
“I’m fine, couldn’t be better.” Serena’s laugh. “Since that’s the case, come help me out. I’ll send you the location.”
She had complete trust in Stinger.
In the phone left by her biological father, Erik, he had mentioned he had three godsons she could trust completely: Stinger, Nighthawk, and Tyrannosaurus.
They would serve her loyally to their dying breath.
After sending her location to Stinger, Stinger promptly forwarded it to Mirabella.
Mirabella saw that the location was an abandoned church. She didn’t rush over but instead, instructed her henchman, Jack, to set up an ambush there. She also informed her confidante, Romeo, and then continued driving towards the location of the old mansion.
She noticed several cars tailing her, knowing they were Serena’s people, so she paid them no mind and let them follow.
When Tyrannosaurus received a call from his underling, he relayed to Serena, “She’s still heading towards the old mansion, and there’s nobody else with her.”
“Are you sure she’s alone?” Serena inquired, knowing all too well Mirabella’s cunning nature.
“Yes, she drove by herself to HATTUT Hospital, sitting in the car and calling you. No signs of any sidekicks during the whole process.”
Serena smirked triumphantly again. Mirabella, oh Mirabella, you’re still so arrogant. But times have changed. Today, you’ll pay dearly for your negligence!!
With malicious glee, she ordered, “Let one person out first. Let my dear ‘grandparents’ and ‘parents’ see what’s waiting for their precious daughter and their five beloved sons.”
“Right away!” Tyrannosaurus promptly released one of the captives.
Bernard, Cornelia, Kenneth, and Louisa now realized the gravity of their situation.
Because the one who came out was not even a human, but a greenish-skinned, mutated monstrosity.
“Just start with the youngest bodyguard,” Serena commanded with a nonchalant drawl.
Tyrannosaurus cut the ropes binding the youngest bodyguard to the others and shoved him towards Chester.
The young bodyguard was oblivious to the looming threat. Still bougdand gagged, all.he eqaidlds Was’

“Cut him loose and get that rag out of his mouth. That will make it, eptgrtaining daha instructed with indifference.
Tyrannosaurus sliced through the ropes and removed the gag from the captive’s mouth.
But the young bodyguard wok cht ee bothered with none (ig fro His only th Lahr oer Sra esse ee I the others, and avenge his fallen security chief.
Just as he lunged at Serena, Serena casually ordered Chester, “Kill him.”
This command seemed to flip a “switch” in Chester. As if awakened, Chester fiercely lifted the young bodyguard with an alarming surge of strength and threw him against the window.
The window shattered into pieces. The young bodyguard plummeted into the glass shards, writhing in pain, unable to muster the strength to rise.
Kenneth and the others could scarcely believe their eyes. Chester possessed such strength, able to effortlessly lift a grown man even above his head.
Not only that, but the window he had threw the man through was a good six feet off the ground.
He had actually hurled an adult that high.
The shock on their faces was a sweet victory for Serena. From the moment she had captured them, this was the first time she saw a different expression on their faces.
“Serena, Bella has taken the route you laid out. You promised her you wouldn’t hurt this bodyguard.” Cornelia began, but before she could finish, the brute Chester, like picking up a chicken, grabbed the bodyguard and delivered a series of vicious punches to his stomach.
His attacks were swift and fierce, like a robot on a fast-forward mode.
The young bodyguard spat out blood with each blow, defenseless against the onslaught.
Chester, like an emotionless machine, mercilessly twisted and broke the bodyguard’s limbs with his bare hands.
The sound of bones cracking was sickening, and the young bodyguard screamed in agony before succumbing to unconsciousness.
Kenneth and the rest were terribly frightened.
They had never imagined that this monstrosity could possess such monstrous strength.
“Enough—Serena, make him stop!!” Louisa yelled angrily, “This bodyguard is innocent! It’s us you want to seek revenge on.”
