Five or six bodyguards in black suits rushed out from the villa's interior.
"Seize them! Today, I will enforce family discipline!" the matriarch shouted.
Christine watched with glee. "I knew there'd be a good show today. A girl with no manners like that deserves to be beaten to death!"
Amanda panicked seeing the approaching men in black.
"Elena, what... what do we do? If they catch us, even if we don't die, your grandmother will take a layer of skin off us."
"Is that so? I'd like to see who loses a layer of skin today!"
As she spoke, Elena resolutely took Amanda's hand and moved to leave.
"Grab them! Hurry!" Christine yelled.
The bodyguards closed in.
Elena fought them off one by one!
She used only one hand, as her other hand never let go of Amanda.
The last one she kicked straight away.
The man in black landed right in front of the matriarch, causing everyone to scream in fright!
Only when the bodyguards were dealt with did Elena stop and turn around.
Her gaze swept over everyone present. Seeing her combat prowess, they all felt a lingering fear.
"If anyone dares to touch my parents, I don't care about their status—I will make them pay!"
"Since you have already expelled our family, there is no need for contact. We will never step foot in here again!"
After speaking, Elena led Amanda away.
"Elena, we've completely angered them this time..." Amanda was terrified the whole way back.
"Mom, don't be afraid. From now on, we need to have a backbone. We don't owe them anything, so there's no need to bow and scrape!"
Although everyone was condemning Elena, Jane actually felt a twinge of envy that Elena could follow her own nature.
No one had ever dared to act like that in front of Grandmother.
"Shut up, all of you! Get someone to clean this up!" the matriarch ordered sharply.
Her second son, Edward, stepped forward to support her. "Mother, are you just going to let Daniel's daughter get away with this insolence?"
A strange glint flashed through the matriarch's eyes.
"Hmph! I never expected the eldest branch to produce a character like that. She has a mind of her own."
Edward was confused. The matriarch's tone sounded almost like... appreciation.
"Although expelled from the family, she is still my descendant. How dare she turn the sky upside down. I will call the eldest and make them apologize!" the matriarch added coldly.
The girl, Elena, wasn't bad. Among so many descendants, none had an aura as imposing as hers.
That temperament reminded her of her own iron-fisted methods when she was young.
