Chapter 5
All eyes fell on me once again.

And they all laughed with malicious intent.
In their eyes, the prince of Fieldkeep arrived, but I did not get up to greet him. This was considered disrespectful, and I would be dealt with accordingly.
I, however, remained calm and simply smiled at Corbin, saying, “Shall I stand up?”
Corbin paused for a moment, then rubbed his eyes and took another careful look at me, and then his expression changed.
Serena, however, sneered and said, “Corbin, this person you see is my ex–girlfriend and also my fiancée’s former lover. In other words, she’s just a lapdog. I kept her around for some
entertainment, you know, since I have a dog kennel. I want to throw this bitch to those hunting dogs.”
Alden’s face turned pale as he gritted his teeth and said, “Serena, how could you have agreed to me?”
“I promised you that as long as you married me, I would not trouble her.”
“But she came to me on her own accord, making me lose face. Why should I let her off?”
Serena sneered.
Alden didn’t say anything, but he walked straight towards me.
He walked up to me, shook his head with a bitter smile, and his eyes were already filled with nostalgia, “When will you ever give me a break?”
I stood up and grinned at him, it was the kind of bright smile he liked the most.
“Don’t talk about me, it’s you. When will you ever believe that your woman is very capable?”
I grabbed his hand and threw myself into his arms.
He said in a very low voice, “Shirley, I’m afraid I can’t protect you anymore. Now you can only hold me hostage to have a chance to leave here, and then take the money I gave you and run as far as possible.”
I laughed helplessly, but he still didn’t believe me.
Did I hide it too well?
And at this moment, the men around me had already approached me.
However, the staff in the banquet hall had also gathered around.

They stopped the men, the men resisted, and they were immediately knocked down.
And at that moment, almost all the Lynch family’s bodyguards in the entire banquet hall were
knocked down.
The sudden change in the scene made everyone in the banquet hall exclaim in astonishment.
Alden was also confused and pulled me to run, saying, “Let’s go…”
“Don’t go.”
I grabbed him, pressed his shoulders, and pushed him onto the sofa.
Then, I also sat in front of him.
leaned back on the sofa, crossed my legs, and appeared casual and nonchalant, but it was not to be taken lightly.
Alden stared at me blankly, as if he had never known me before.
Because in his eyes, I was a cheerful, sunny, and gentle woman.
He had never seen my sharpness.
Serena was stunned for a while before she spoke, “You wretched person, don’t you want to live? This is my Castlepond, my territory!”
