No one ever spoke the truth behind York Corporation’s attack on Lowe Enterprise, and now the two big companies
had resumed their partnership.
The people on the outside assumed someone from Lowe Enterprise made a misstep that led to York Corporation’s
termination of their partnership. Mr. Lowe had repeatedly sought Mr. York for negotiation before finally reconciling
their business relations.
“But I can’t stand the cockiness of the country bumpkin! She has no right to give me an attitude. She’s nothing
once Mr. York is bored with her.”
Carrie pursed her lips and remarked, “I can’t move past this without getting even with her. Mom, I hired eight thugs
to go after her. They’re stalking Serenity and waiting until they get to a blind spot on the road to stop her car and
beat her up.”

everything in order? Don’t leave any traces that can lead back to you. Also, I heard the country bumpkin learned
self-defense and can kickbox. Make sure they don’t drop the ball on this.”
Carrie nonchalantly replied, “I took classes in kickboxing too. What’s the point? I can’t even take down our
bodyguard. It’s just for show.”
Mr. Newman uttered, “That’s true… The Hunt girl may have picked up a self-defense skill, but I never heard how
good she is. You should call and check on the progress.”
Once again, Serenity was stopped in the middle of the street in the dark of night.
She thought it was Noah, the b*stard, again.
At a closer look, Serenity did not see Noah anywhere. The b*stard should have lost his nerve by now after she gave
it to him twice.
Serenity did not dwell on the matter, nor did she have time to think about it.
The people, who made her stop in the middle of the road, started bashing her car with metal rods before she even
got out of the car. While she hopped out of the car, two men swung their metal rods at her.
Without evading the blows, she calmly faced the attack and grabbed ahold of the incoming rod while striking a kick
in the man’s belly. She seized control of the metal rod when the man groaned in pain.
Turning around, Serenity flung her arm out to block the second approaching metal rod.
Serenity might stand no chance against these thugs if she had no weapon. Now that she was armed, her mind was
in a more composed state.
Holding onto the metal rod, she knocked the weapons off the other three men. The bodyguards, who Zachary
secretly assigned to protect Serenity, jumped into action.
She kept the metal rod and watched as her two bodyguards beat the living daylights out of the thugs.

Once these thugs were rolling on the ground in pain, one of the bodyguards called the cops while the other phoned
Zachary. Serenity removed the masks of these thugs to find these men to be in their twenties and thirties.
Slapping one of their faces, Serenity asked, “Who sent you to ambush me?”
The person kept a tight lid.
“You won’t say, huh? It’s fine. You’ll talk when you get to the police station. Do you think you’re saved because
there isn’t any surveillance along this road?”
“Missus, Mr. Zachary will be right here. We have called the cops.”
The bodyguard’s formal way of addressing Serenity sparked alarm bells in the man who was slapped. He hemmed
and hawed a question, “W-Who are you?”
Serenity amusedly poked his face with the metal rod and replied, “You stopped my car, wrecked my ride, and
attacked me. Yet, you don’t know who I am.
“Well, you don’t have to be scared. I’m just an ordinary person. You can call me a nobody. Only, I have a rather
protective husband.”
“W-Who is your husband?”
With a smile, Serenity answered, “People call him Mr. York.”
