The True Heiress: Legend Mode novel Chapter 229

Gemma frantically denied it immediately. "You can't just make wild accusations like that."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Juno raised an eyebrow, her left hand still casually holding a handful of sunflower seeds.

Before Gemma could even nod her agreement.

Juno smoothly disarmed another man, tossing a handgun onto the grass.

Gemma frowned in a panic. "I..."

Clang.

A short blade joined the pile.

Gemma was rendered entirely speechless. How was she even doing this...

She looked up in horror.

Juno simply stared back, her expression practically screaming, 'Please, continue your bullshit.'

Anything she said now was utterly pointless.

"Do you have anything else you'd like to add, Ms. Gemma?"

"Whether you believe it or not... I had nothing to do with this..."

Before she could finish her pathetic excuse, Juno tossed a stun baton onto the pile.

Naturally, she had stripped all these weapons off the very men Gemma had brought over.

No one even saw her move, yet she had casually produced a miniature arsenal.

There was truly nothing left for Gemma to say.

Her face was the absolute picture of miserable defeat.

As she practically fled the scene, she heard Juno complaining to Chuck, "It really is true that idiots only flock with other idiots."

God, she hated that woman!!!

The Russell family was shocked that their meticulously planned ambush had ended before it even started. Just as they were plotting their next move, Miles showed up at their door.

As he stood alone in their grand foyer, the entire family watched him with haughty amusement.

They were mildly curious to hear whatever pathetic message Chuck had sent his lackey to deliver.

Unfazed by their glaring, Miles spoke with a steady, commanding voice. "I am here to deliver a message from Mr. Yates. He highly suggests you abandon these foolish schemes. Otherwise, the consequences will be far beyond what your family can afford to pay."

Belinda's brother narrowed his eyes, letting out a cold, condescending scoff. "Heh! Such bold words. No one has ever dared to speak to us like that!"

An illegitimate son was really trying to pull rank on them?!

On the surface, she and Chuck were playing the perfect decoys to draw all the aggro, while her people scoured the compound in secret.

She absolutely refused to let anything happen to him.

For lunch, the hosts arranged for the guests to dine at the Pinnacle Restaurant, located a couple of miles away.

A spectacular convoy of over a hundred luxury vehicles poured out of the estate gates.

Row upon row of Rolls-Royces glided elegantly toward the destination.

Turning a simple lunch into such an insanely elaborate affair was entirely the Russell family's doing.

"You went through all this trouble just to take these people out for lunch?"

Her brother asked casually.

Leaning back into the plush leather seat, she replied, "You're rarely in Blackwood City, so you wouldn't know. The Pinnacle Restaurant is incredibly bizarre."

His curiosity was piqued. "Bizarre how?"

"They only let people in based on status. Commoners are absolutely barred. Whenever someone makes a reservation, an old woman—rumored to be the owner—stands at the door. Only the true elite pass her test."

Word of mouth had spread like wildfire, propelling the restaurant into mythological status.

Countless aristocrats flocked there just to prove their worth, but the vast majority were turned away by the old woman.
