Her Celestial Farm on the Scrapyard Planet novel Chapter 250

Chapter 250 I Want to Handle This Myself

Finished

The Hewitts had long since traced the source of those false claims and so–called “evidence” targeting Elizabeth on Starnet.

If they hadn’t respected Elizabeth’s wishes, the Hewitts would have stepped in long ago.

There was no way Seafarm Group would have stayed this comfortable until now.

Justin felt like he’d been struck by lightning. His whole body jolted. These people not only knew exactly who he was. They even knew who was pulling his strings behind the scenes!

He stared at Jeremy in sheer terror, then at the attendants behind him, people who clearly came from a family he could never afford to offend.

At last, his gaze landed on Elizabeth, who stood under tight protection, calm from beginning to end.

And only then did it hit him with brutal clarity: this wasn’t some helpless nobody he could bully. This was a steel plate forged from alloy, bristling with spikes and backed by towering mountains!

His brother–in–law, Rufus, had clearly kicked a hornet’s nest this time and dragged him down with it!

“I… I…” Justin’s lips shook. His throat rattled, but he couldn’t force out a full sentence. All that was left was bottomless fear and regret.

“Take your men, and take all this ‘evidence‘ on the ground with you.” Jeremy pointed at the groaning thugs. His tone turned flat again, but it carried absolute authority. “Leave. Right now. Everything that happened here today will be reported truthfully to your superiors and the relevant departments. I’m sure someone will be having a very serious talk with you soon about what ‘public safety‘ and ‘legal order‘ really mean, and… the price of abusing your power.”

Justin’s face turned paper white. He didn’t dare utter a single word of protest.

He bowed again and again, almost collapsing to the ground, stammering all over himself. “A m–mistake! A huge mistake! It was our error on the job. We believed a false report! We’ll go right now! Right away!”

He frantically ordered around his equally terrified subordinates. Half dragging, half yanking, they hauled those unlucky thugs off the ground and shoved them into the hover car in a miserable heap.

The engine let out a harsh screech, and they fled the plaza like whipped dogs, not even daring to look back.

Only after the public security team’s vehicle disappeared completely from sight did the tension strangling the plaza finally break.

Then the entire place exploded with thunderous cheers and applause!

The customers waiting in line and the nearby crowd supporting Elizabeth were practically glowing with relief, cheering like crazy.

They even gave up the front spots one after another, making room for the distinguished people who had stepped in to help.

It wasn’t bootlicking. It was pure gratitude.

Chapter 250 I Want to Handle This Myself

Finished

Jeremy turned to Ms. Schofield, proper respect returning to his face as he gave a slight bow. “Ms. Schofield, I’m sorry you and the children were frightened. Madam heard about the trouble on Starnet and learned that you were still setting up your stall as usual today. She was very concerned and specifically told me I had to come and see whether any rats were trying to cause trouble. I didn’t expect… we’d still be one step late and let those bastards disturb you. My sincere apologies.”

Elizabeth looked at Jeremy and understood at once.

They had come today to back her up.

She gave a slight shake of her head and said sincerely, “You’re being too polite, Jeremy. We should be thanking you. If you hadn’t shown up when you did, things could’ve gotten ugly fast. The children were just startled. They’re fine.”

Before Jeremy and the others arrived, Ms. Schofield had actually already been preparing herself to resist by force.

If it had come to that, there definitely would’ve been a lot of trouble afterward.

Jeremy nodded, then seemed to remember something. His expression turned a little more solemn, and he lowered his voice. “Ms. Schofield, Seafarm Group has played dirty this time. They attacked both online and offline. They’ve torn all pretense away. Madam means that if you need it, the Hewitts can step in and deal with this problem once and for all.”

His words were restrained, but the weight behind “deal with this problem once and for all” was obvious.

Elizabeth fell silent and thought it over seriously.

She had no doubt about the Hewitts‘ power. If they made a move, what Seafarm Group would face probably wouldn’t stop at business suppression.

But in the end, she slowly shook her head, her eyes clear and steady. “I’m grateful for Madam’s kindness. But for this matter, I want to handle it myself first.”

She paused, then explained, “The uproar on Starnet has already dragged the Hewitts in because of my connection to your family. Commander Hewitt and Madam have already taken a lot of unfair criticism because of me. If the Hewitts openly move against Seafarm Group now, even if you’re fully in the right, outsiders will twist it however they want. It could damage the Hewitts‘ reputation for no reason. Seafarm Group is coming after my farm’s technology and products. At its core, this is business competition. Their methods are filthy, sure, but I want to strike back through business and legal channels first. If the time comes when I truly need outside force, I won’t hold back.”
