Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1404

Dominic finally gritted his teeth and lowered his head. "Miss Lancaster, my apologies. I was out of line."

Serena lazily lifted her eyelids. Looking at Dominic's humiliated, almost twisted expression, a faint smile graced her lips.

"Glad you know you were out of line."

Her words left absolutely zero room for a graceful exit.

The humiliation was absolute.

Dominic's face twisted further.

And Serena had no intention of saving their pride.

She raised her eyes, her smile widening slightly, her tone utterly indifferent. "Mr. Montgomery, remember this for next time. Before you try to hit on me, make sure you patch up the massive holes in your own family's finances."

"Otherwise..."

Her smile grew colder, laced with mockery. "I'm afraid your so-called foundation isn't even sturdy enough for me to step on."

Serena's effortless remark entirely stripped the Third Branch of whatever dignity they had left.

The surrounding crowd didn't even try to hide their laughter anymore.

The filter of the so-called hidden aristocratic family was utterly shattered.

Sebastian hadn't expected this.

They had actively tried to de-escalate the situation and apologized.

Yet this country bumpkin turned heiress still dared to disrespect them like this.

Sebastian's face finally hardened. "Thank you for the advice, Miss Lancaster. However... as an elder, I would also advise you. It's good for young people to be sharp."

"But being too sharp makes it easy to cut yourself as well as others."

It sounded like he was trying to smooth things over.

But anyone could hear the implication:

He was hinting that the newly returned Lancaster heiress was too arrogant, and that the Lancaster brothers were bullying people with their power, leaving no room for retreat.

The eyes of the men surrounding Serena flashed with ice, and they opened their mouths to fire back.

But Serena's gaze caught something, and she suddenly reached out, pressing a hand against Jasper and Nicholas's arms.

She raised her eyes, her smile deepening.

She wasn't in a hurry to tangle with the Montgomery family.
