Scarlett had arrived in an excellent mood.
But the moment she stepped out of her car, she saw an excavator and a bulldozer parked at the gates of Orchard Villa. The entire front courtyard had been torn up by the heavy machinery, and the massive gates were completely destroyed.
Her good mood plummeted instantly.
Just as she was about to step forward, Yardley, Corinne, her three daughters, and Sylvia walked out from the ruins of the courtyard.
Under the blazing sun, the group glared at her, their eyes practically shooting fire.
Scarlett instinctively stopped in her tracks. Before she could even say a word, Melanie lunged forward like a rabid animal.
"You greedy bitch! How dare you scam my brother out of so much money! I... I'll kill you!"
Seeing Scarlett standing there alone, Melanie's sanity completely vanished. Without a second thought, she charged at her, fully intending to beat her to a pulp.
However, before she could even get close, a sleek black Maybach suddenly sped onto the scene.
Tires screeched piercingly against the pavement, and a man with impossibly long legs swiftly stepped out.
Just a split second before Melanie could crash into Scarlett, a large, well-defined hand firmly clamped down on the back of Melanie's head.
The man twisted his wrist, smoothly redirecting her momentum with a sharp pull, followed by a forceful shove.
Melanie lost her balance completely and went flying awkwardly through the air, crashing heavily into the side of the parked bulldozer with a loud thud.
"Melanie!"
Corinne and her daughters gasped in unison.
Clarissa and Sylvia immediately sprinted over, dragging Melanie—who looked like she had nearly snapped her spine in half—out from the metal scoop of the bulldozer.
