"With my brother here, they won’t get away with anything."
Tiana had barely finished speaking when the sounds of smashing and arguing erupted from outside, followed by the sight of nurous burly n in black erging from several vans.
They marched nacingly toward the Grayson family’s estate. And though the man leading them was so distance away, Mika Sumrs could still see him clearly—it was Sheldon Rhodes, the man who had been monitoring her near her ho.
Tiana looked terrified, her body trembling slightly. She gripped Mika’s hand, her voice shaking as she stamred, "It’s starting, Mika..."
"It’s okay. Your brother is here. Nothing will happen." Seeing Tiana like this, Mika Sumrs frowned in confusion. ’Tiana seems off, but I can’t quite put my finger on why.’
"Mm." Of course, she knew nothing would happen. It was just that the incident with her grandfather years ago had left a deep scar on her. Whenever she saw people arguing or fighting, a panic would rise from the bottom of her heart, and her whole body would tense up involuntarily.
She could clearly feel Tiana’s hand trembling in hers. Worried, she said, "Tiana, why don’t we go lie down on the bed?"
But Tiana just shook her head, her eyes glued to the scene below. This was the thrilling mont when the Grayson Family would suppress and drive out that bunch of leeches; how could she miss it?
Mika Sumrs said no more and just stayed with Tiana to watch. A mont later, she saw Tristan Grayson walk into the courtyard, his hands in his pockets.
Behind him was the group of so-called Grayson relatives—those leeches—all too terrified to make a sound.
Tristan Grayson said sothing to them, and they quickly nodded, agreeing with obsequious smiles. Tristan walked almost to the main gate before stopping and making a gesture for them to leave.
Seeing them escorted out of the Grayson family’s main gate, Tiana Grayson finally let out a sigh of relief, and the color returned to her face.
She took Mika Sumrs’s hand and said with a smile, "Mika, the house is so much quieter now. Let’s go out."
"Okay."
...Tiana was right. The Grayson ho really was much quieter now. When they went out, they no longer saw any of those strangers.
Only her father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Tristan were sitting on the living room sofa.
Her mother-in-law was the first to look up at them. She forced a smile onto her pale face. "Tiana, Alia, you weren’t scared just now, were you?"
Hearing Mae Lynch’s words, Tristan Grayson also looked up, his gaze complicated as he looked at the woman standing not far away.
Tiana Grayson just shook her head without saying anything.
Seeing her daughter’s reaction, Mae Lynch guessed that she must have been scared. She sighed and said angrily, "They are absolutely shaless! I knew we shouldn’t have let them off so easily!"
"Don’t be angry. They’re still relatives, after all. If we go too far, we’ll beco a laughingstock."
"Caleb Grayson! Back then, you were afraid of being laughed at, and you’re still afraid of being laughed at now! Is saving face that important? Besides, with the Grayson Family’s status today, who in Tridell would dare to laugh at us! It’s them! They’re the ones who caused our daughter to... ever since she was a child..."
Seeing her parents arguing, Tiana Grayson’s body trembled again. She held back her tears and quickly interrupted what her mother was about to say. "No! Mika and I didn’t hear anything! Mom, Dad, please stop fighting." After speaking, Tiana forcefully tugged on Mika Sumrs’s sleeve, signaling for her to say sothing.
