Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1390

It was a blatant, public warning.

Reginald's piercing gaze swept the room once more before he let out a cold scoff. "Tonight, I stand before you to set the record straight."

He turned to Serena.

The severe lines of his face instantly softened into overwhelming pride. "Serena is not adopted. She is not an outsider. And she is certainly not a PR stunt."

"She is Lancaster blood. My one and only granddaughter."

"The sole true heiress to the Lancaster family."

His grip on his cane tightened, his voice dropping into a dangerous register. "The Lancaster family owes her twenty years of respect, and starting today, she will receive every last drop of it."

"Every ounce of love she missed out on, we will repay in full."

"From this day forward, whoever slights her, slights the Lancaster family."

"Whoever dares to cross her, declares war on the Lancaster family."

The sheer gravity of his words crashed over the room.

For several seconds, dead silence reigned.

Hearts pounded in chests.

The Lancasters had just positioned Serena at the absolute epicenter of their empire.

Reginald wasn't just introducing her. He was announcing that Serena was the family's ultimate untouchable asset!

Catherine, her eyes brimming with tears, stepped forward and gently took Serena's hand.

Edward stood fiercely on her other side, a living shield radiating protective fury.

And right behind her.

Julian, Jerrick, and Jasper had silently moved into formation, flanking her like an elite royal guard.

They didn't need to speak; their unified front said everything.

In that singular moment.

The entire hierarchy of Vaelion City realized the terrifying truth.

Those who had mocked her felt as if they had just been slapped across the face.
