Selena was fast; her movements were no different than the speed of lightning In just a single moment, her blade made its way toward Walter’s face before he could even react.
Grandma York’s expression changed instantly. She didn’t think his son, who was so obsessed with martial arts, couldn’t even take a single blow against Selena.
At this, she quickly took a step forward and swung her cane.
Selena was caught off guard and received a painful smack on the back.
She didn’t expect Grandma York to be so shameless as to actually strike her from the back.
Selena swallowed the blood that threatened to spill out of her and raised her speed, moving faster than before. Walter got smacked in the face with her blade very soon after.
Selena still had respect for her family; she only used the back of her blade as she attacked him.
But Walter was still sent flying before finally smashing into the ground. It was a wretched sight.
The crowd couldn’t help but gasp in fear. It was a truly terrifying sight!
Selena covered her mouth and went back to Harvey after landing a successful hit.
“I told you! You’ll have to go over my dead body if you want to lay a finger on Harvey!” Walter’s face was dreadful, and cold sweat drenched his back. He could only grit his teeth, as he didn’t dare to utter a word when he looked into Selena’s eyes.
He didn’t think that such a weak-looking woman like her actually would be this powerful.
Grandma York’s expression changed once more as she watched the scene before her.
“You’re lawless, Selena!”
“How dare you hurt your second brother!”
“You’re disrespecting your elders!”
“How dare you!”
“This is a sin!”
“Even Marcel can’t get you out of this!”
“I’m not being lawless, Grandma York. I’m only protecting the young man I look up to!”
“I can’t just watch and do nothing as my son-in-law gets beaten up, can I?”
Harvey was at a loss. He looked at Selena before finally letting out a sigh.
He could tell that Selena was being true to herself.
Harvey might not become her son-in-law, but he would probably acknowledge her as his mother-in-law.
Compared to the wretched and greedy Lilian, Harvey found Selena to be the ideal mother-in-law.
After seeing Selena injure Walter, the experts of the head and second house instinctively took a step forward.
Marcel and the members of the fourth house saw this and stepped forward, blocking their path.
A fight was about to break out at any second.
If any conflicts were to arise, the family would be in utter chaos.
“Let’s end things here, Mother.” “Today’s your big day, after all.”
“It’s bad luck to spill blood here.”
Marcel looked at Grandma York with a pleading expression.
Grandma York laughed coldly.
“You say that…”
“You still call me your mother after all this?!”
“I thought you were ready to anger me!”
“Don’t say that, Mother,” Marcel replied grimly.
“If someone’s trying to go against you, I’d be willing to do anything for you.”
“But Harvey was the one who found the true culprit ten years ago. He was the one who found out the truth! I told everyone to treat Harvey the same as me!”
“Even if Selena can’t protect him, I’ll make sure he doesn’t get hurt!”
“If you want him, then you’ll have to go over my dead body.”
“Of course, if you kill me, you can appoint whoever you want as the new lord!”
Marcel then laughed bitterly. Even if he was the lord of the family, in truth, he didn’t have a lot of plans when it came to dealing with his mother.
