Chapter 262
Seeing what just happened.
Mr. Brown's feet barely left the ground when Naomi moved like a shadow, swift and precise.
In one fluid motion, she spun and delivered a powerful kick that connected with his chest. The force knocked him backward, slamming him onto the pavement with a loud thud. He groaned, clutching his ribs, utterly stunned by the sudden display of strength.
Upon seeing what just happened The York family stood frozen, their eyes wide in disbelief. Serenity's uncle was the first to break the silence. "What the—she's not just a businesswoman... is she?"
At that moment Old Master York's hand trembled slightly on his cane as he muttered, "This... this is unexpected."
Immediately the officers moved in, swiftly handcuffing Mr. Brown, who was too dazed and winded to resist. His earlier arrogance had dissolved into helplessness as he was dragged to his feet and led toward the waiting police van.
At that moment Naomi straightened her blazer, her expression calm but her eyes sharp as knives. She turned to the York family, who now looked more desperate than indignant. Serenity's uncle, swallowing his pride, stepped forward with a forced, apologetic smile.
He knew what was coming if he doesn't act immediately.
Knowing Naomi wasn't just an ordinary person for Mr Brown to run it just showed the kind of class she was in.@@@@
"Miss. Naomi, we had no idea Mr. Brown was a fraud," he said, his voice trembling with forced humility. "He... he deceived us all. Please, surely you can understand, we were put in a very difficult situation and we couldn't just push him out."
Hearing what serenity uncle just said.
Naomi raised a single brow, her silence more intimidating than words. The weight of her gaze made the family visibly uncomfortable. Read exclusive chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
"He lied to us, used the Godly Investor's name!" another family member chimed in, their voice panicked. "If we had known, we would have—"
Naomi gaze remained cold, her expression unmoved. "What are you insinuating?" she asked sharply, her arms crossing over her chest as her piercing eyes bore into Serenity's uncle.
Serenity's uncle sniffled, wiping his face hastily. "He... he suggested Serenity should... spend some time with him. You know, as a way to secure the deal," he said, his voice faltering. "But I promise you, we kept our distance. We were planning to reject him, to cut ties entirely. We're an honorable family."
Serenity uncle gaze at Naomi the disgusting look on her shows her words didn't get to her.
At that moment Old Master York, leaning heavily on his cane, nodded in agreement. "We may have faults," he said solemnly, "but we would never stoop so low as to willingly align ourselves with someone like Mr. Brown."
The rest of the York family chimed in, their voices rising in a cacophony of denials and excuses.
"We never supported him."
"We were just biding our time to push him away."
Naomi sharp gaze swept over the York family, her arms crossed in clear disdain.
"If you were planning to reject Mr. Brown, then tell me," she demanded, "why did you come to this restaurant with him? Why did you indulge in his lies instead of confronting the truth?"
Upon hearing what Naomi just said.
The York family exchanged uneasy glances, their expressions varying from panic to shame. Serenity's uncle, always quick to think on his feet, cleared his throat and forced a nervous laugh.
"We... uh, we came here to celebrate Ethan," he said, gesturing toward Ethan with exaggerated enthusiasm.
"Yes, that's right. We wanted to honor him for his... heroics in saving one of us, that was why we came here, we didn't know Brown would lie and use the name of Godly Investor, he fooled us."
