Chapter 425: Chapter 425

The orchard's electric fence system was finally installed.

Jenna Roland had specially ordered fifteen warning signs. The bold red-and-white letters spelling "HIGH VOLTAGE - DANGER" were strikingly visible. She personally nailed each sign along the perimeter, ensuring they could be clearly seen from every angle.

"This should be safe enough," Jenna murmured to herself.

She bent down, picked up a fallen leaf, and lightly tossed it toward the fence.

A sharp zap sounded as the leaf instantly blackened, dissolving into a wisp of smoke.

Jenna's pupils contracted. She took an involuntary step back.

The fence's power exceeded her expectations.

"Good. It'll keep out both thieves and wild boars." Satisfied, she nodded and turned toward the orchard gate.

Her steps froze before she reached it.

Four familiar figures stood blocking the entrance.

Jenna's face darkened, fury igniting in her eyes.

She swiftly pulled out her phone. "Vincent Roland, bring the team down here."

Hanging up, she strode toward the gate.

"Fiona Roland. Heidi Roland. You dare show your faces here?" Her voice was icy. "Get out now, or I won't be responsible for what happens next."

Fiona's face twisted with rage. "You little bitch! How dare you conspire with Ethan Roscente to steal your uncle's orchard? We never should've taken you and your brother in!"

Heidi shrieked, "Do you know what this orchard means to Dad? He's been depressed ever since! If anything happens to him, I'll make you pay!"

Jason Roland hurled curses. "You shameless thief! Give us back our orchard!"

Jenna crossed her arms with a cold laugh.

"If you hadn't 'taken us in,' Victor Roland would never have gotten this orchard in the first place." Her tone dripped with sarcasm. "You've made millions off it over the years. I've been generous not demanding my share. And now you want to steal it all over again?"

Her gaze swept over them, finally landing on Sean Roland.

"Sean. Are you here to pressure me too?"

Sean shook his head. "The orchard was always rightfully yours. Returning it is only just."

His words detonated Fiona's temper.

She viciously pinched her son's arm. "Traitor! Whose side are you on? Keep defending this bitch, and I'll disown you!"

Jason chimed in, "Bro, we're family!"

Heidi added, "How can you betray your own blood?"

Sean's eyes turned frosty. "I have my own principles. Stealing someone's property isn't justified just because you're family. Mom, don't push things too far. Karma has a way of catching up."

Slap!

A sharp crack echoed as Fiona's palm struck Sean's face.

"Get out!" she screamed hysterically. "I have no son like you!"

At that moment, Vincent arrived with the security team, forming a protective line beside Jenna.
