Four towering bodyguards surrounded Jenna Roland like an iron fortress, their bulging muscles and throbbing veins visible beneath their rolled-up sleeves.

Fiona Roland's group froze in terror, their faces turning ghostly pale.

Zachary Macmillan frowned, his sharp gaze sweeping over Fiona and her companions. "Miss Roland, what's going on?"

Jenna smirked, her delicate finger pointing directly at Fiona. "Memorize these faces. From now on, if you see them, don't hesitate—act immediately."

She pulled Sean Roland close, her tone softening. "Except him. He's my brother."

Fiona trembled with rage, shrieking, "Jenna! You ungrateful wretch! How dare you hire thugs to attack us!"

A cold glint flashed in Jenna's eyes as she ordered Vincent Roland, "Seize that shrew. Beat her until she apologizes."

"As you wish."

With a subtle nod from Vincent, Zachary and Yves Deross stepped forward. One yanked Fiona's hair while the other twisted her arms behind her back.

Crack!

The sharp sound of a slap echoed through the air.

Jason Roland and Heidi Roland tried to intervene but were forced back by Quentin Blanchet's gleaming pistol.

"Take another step. I dare you," Quentin taunted, twirling the gun with a smirk.

The couple staggered backward, their legs buckling in fear.

They never imagined Jenna could command armed enforcers.

Blows rained down on Fiona like a storm.

"Ah! Stop! I surrender!" She curled into a ball on the ground, her face bruised and swollen as she begged for mercy.

Vincent raised a hand, and the bodyguards instantly retreated behind Jenna.

Fiona staggered to her feet, blood trickling from her lips. "I... I was wrong..."

Jenna looked down at her with icy disdain. "Selling me off, abusing me and my brother, stealing my parents' orchard—apologies won't settle these debts."

Her red lips parted. "Kneel. Swear you'll never harass me again, or may lightning strike you dead and your entire family perish."

"You—!" Fiona's eyes widened in outrage.

Jenna turned to Heidi. "You. Repeat those words exactly. One mistake, and you'll taste the same punishment."

Heidi paled, trembling as she recited the venomous oath, her nails digging into her palms.
