Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 421

“Riley, that... that girl, ahem! That warrior princess, did you see her? She... she kicked that door down in one go!”

Trevor swallowed hard, his face a mask of horror. “Riley, a bodyguard with that kind of strength, and a girl that cool... she’s out of your league!”

He was worried that if Riley actually managed to win her over, one day he might accidentally tick her off.

And then... one kick!

Game over!

With stars in his eyes, Riley watched the girl in the dressing room, her expression gentle as she spoke with Brianna.

He chuckled. “Don’t you guys think... she’s incredibly cool?”

Darius and Trevor were confused.

Riley’s face was full of infatuation. “I think... a girl like that is the only one who can handle me! Being with her would make me feel so safe!”

Darius and Trevor were speechless.

It was over.

Riley was completely smitten, utterly mad.

-

Inside the dressing room.

Serena finished putting the rest of the jewelry on Brianna.

Seeing herself in the mirror, adorned with jewelry custom-made for her by her idol, Brianna’s eyes welled up with emotion.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps approached from outside the dressing room.

An icy chill, heavy with suppressed fury, swept in.

Nicholas’s tall, elegant figure appeared at the doorway. He carried a coldness that hadn’t dissipated, and his handsome, almost ethereal face had lost its usual lazy, devil-may-care charm, replaced by a terrifying frostiness.

His enchanting dark eyes, turbulent as a storm-tossed sea, swept across the dressing room.

Even though the bodyguards had tidied up, the mess was still visible.

His gaze darkened further, finally landing on Brianna’s face.

Although the young woman had stopped crying, her slightly swollen eyes and the tear stains on her face revealed what had just happened.

His presence grew even more intimidating.

“Nicholas...” Seeing Nicholas, Brianna’s eyelashes trembled. The grievance she had just suppressed surged back up.

Nicholas walked over, his slender figure casting a protective shadow over Brianna.

The coldness in his eyes softened, replaced by a hint of tenderness.

He raised his hand and gently placed it on Brianna’s head, ruffling her hair.

“Were you scared?” he asked.

Brianna’s eyes were red as she sniffled and shook her head. “No, Serena got here really fast. She took down Brandon in an instant.”

Nicholas’s eyebrows lifted slightly as his deep, dark eyes turned to look intently at Serena, who stood to the side.

“Notify the lawyers. Calculate how much of Brianna’s money she spent through Brandon over the years. Draw up a compensation bill and make her pay it back, with interest.”

“If she can’t pay, her parents will. Her relatives will.”

Serena’s elegantly arched brows rose slightly.

Breaking Brandon’s hand was punishment.

Bankruptcy was destroying his foundation.

Prison would be the final nail in the coffin for all of Brandon’s future possibilities.

As for Lauren...

A girl who had finally escaped the mountains, sent back to her impoverished home with an astronomical debt.

What awaited her there would be true hell.

Nicholas’s series of actions was, to say the least... a precise and direct attack on his targets’ weakest points.

As he issued these commands, Nicholas’s gaze remained fixed on Brianna’s expression.

When he saw no trace of pity on her face, his features relaxed slightly.

He gave his final order: “The servant who let them in, along with his direct supervisor—get them out of here. The Blackwood family has no use for people who can't see what's in front of them.”

Hanging up, Nicholas looked at Brianna. “It’s almost time. You need to get ready. Can you still handle the party?”

Brianna immediately puffed out her chest and grabbed Serena’s hand, as if drawing strength from her. “I can! With Serena here, I feel at ease!”
