Unwilling Trophy Wife (Serena and Victor) novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70

“Enough,” Lucia snapped at her daughter, raising her voice. Realizing she had oumreacted, she quickly forced a stiff smile at Mr. Brannon

“She doesn’t know any better, Mr. Brannon. Please don’t take it to heart. It’s all just a misunderstanding,” Lucia tried to explain.:

Cade’s face dekened further at the sight of his wife and daughter in this state, beads of sweat continuing to form on his forehead. “Enough,” he barked. “You two, apologize to Mr. Brannon this instant”

The little girl was startled by her father’s sudden outburst. Her previously haughty demeanor vanished instantly–her lips trembled in a pout, øyes brimming with unshed tears.

Cade snapped, his voice growing even harsher. “Apologie, now.”

Though resentment churned within her, Lucia finally lowered her head under her husband’s glare. Through clenched teeth, she muttered to Serena and

Alyssa, “Sorry, I was wrong.”

The little girl, sniffling through her tears, followed suit and choked out, “I–I’m sorry.”

Keith’s icy gaze swept over the family of three. “You think a mere apology can settle this?”

Cade stammered nervously, “Mr. Brannen, w–we’re at fault here. P–Please be lenient and don’t stoop to our level”

All of Lucia’s carer defiance had vanished. Head bowed, her body trembling slightly, she clutched her daughter’s hand in a

Keith cast a downward glance at Lucia and her daughter, both trembling with their heads lowered. He usually couldn’t be bothered with such people. But when his gaze shifted to Alyssa in Serena’s arms, he could no longer suppress the fury rising in his chest.

Alyssa’s scraped knee was already oozing blood, thin crimson streaks trickling down her leg,

Keith snapped, his voice icy and commanding “Get out”

After thanking Keith once more, Cade dragged his wife and daughter away, their steps hurried and unsteady. As they left, he kept looking back over his shoulder, terrified that Keith might suddenly change his mind.

Keith crouched down, tenderly caressing Alyssa’s cheek with concern. “Does it hurt, Alyssa

Alyssa shook her head, clutching the cake box tightly to her chest.

Serena frantically nummaged through her bag and finally pulled out a box of newly purchased Band–Aids,

She tore open the packaging and crouched down carefully, but as she tried to apply the band–aid to Alyssa’s wound, bright red blood continued to we up. It wouldn’t adhere at all

“Mr. Brannon,” she said anxiously, “Alyssa’s bleeding just won’t stop.”

Keith frowned upon hearing this, his jaw tightening as he examined c. He saw that the wound was small but deep. No wonder the bleeding wouldn’t

He looked up at Serena, his tone tinged with self–reproach. “Let me check”

With gentle hands, he carefully lifted the hem of Alyssa’s dress, revealing her injured knee. The skin around the wound had turned pale, a clear sign of blood loss.

His gaze fell on Serena’s handkerchief, already completely soaked through with blood.

“Let’s get you to the hospital,” he said. Clutching Alyssa tightly in his arms, Keith raced to the hospital.
