Married at First Sight Chapter 953

Chapter 953

Serenity smiled. “Mrs. Lane and I should be sufficient.”

The store her sister rented was not large. If too many people came to help, it would appear crowded with customers arriving for breakfast.

While the two friends were chatting, two—no, three people entered the store.

One of them was Noah, Serenity’s youngest cousin. He had attempted to stop Serenity’s car late last year, intending to teach her a lesson, but she had turned him in to the police.

After fifteen days in detention, he was released but showed no remorse; instead, he harbored a deep resentment towards Serenity.

He dropped out of school and ceased his studies altogether. His parents indulged him, believing his grades were too poor to gain university admission, so they allowed him to do as he wished.

Since leaving school, Noah had done nothing but play video games.

He had accompanied his grandfather on a previous visit to the store, trying to create trouble, but Serenity hadn’t noticed him amid the crowd.

“Let me go! I said let me go!”

Noah struggled against the two muscular men who were dragging him inside.

Serenity had never seen the two men before, but she suspected they were individuals Zachary had arranged to discreetly keep an eye on—Ahem, to secretly protect her.

The two bodyguards brought Noah inside and pushed him, causing him to fall to the ground. He quickly got up and hurriedly concealed himself behind Serenity.

“Serenity, help me!”

Serenity pulled her troublesome cousin from behind her and asked with a stern expression, “What did you do?”

“Missus, this kid has been following you and taking pictures of you. When he lost sight of you, he came straight here and attempted to slash your car tires when he thought no one was around. We managed to intervene before he could do any damage.”

Upon hearing this, Serenity slapped Noah’s arm.

causing him to jump. He wanted to curse at her, but when he saw her icy expression, he recalled how formidable she was during their last encounter when she had beaten him up. He felt a surge of anger, but he dared not express it towards Serenity. Instead, he could only rub the spot where she had slapped him, watching her warily.

“I thought it was the paparazzi, but it was just you. Why are you following me? Did he use a cell phone or a camera to take those pictures?”

His second question was aimed at the bodyguards.

One of them replied, “He took them with his phone.”

He handed Serenity the cell phone along with a small knife. “This is his phone, and this is the knife he tried to use to slash your tires.”

Serenity accepted the phone and knife, then shot a cold glare at Noah. He shrank back and stammered defensively, “I—I just took a few photos, and I didn’t slash your tires. Why are you looking at me like that? It’s like you’re going to eat me alive.”

Serenity didn’t rush to inquire why he had been following her and taking pictures. Instead, she focused on the knife first.

Noah must have followed her in a car. She wondered whether he had used his own vehicle or borrowed his cousin’s.

Even though it was a new year and Noah had turned eighteen, his birthday had not yet passed, meaning he was still considered a minor. In other words, he was driving without a license. He certainly had some nerve!

Spoiled by his family, he was oblivious to fear. Driving without a license meant nothing to him.

Noah quickly reacted.

He hurried after Serenity, calling out, “Serenity! Seren, Seren! Don’t slash my tires. I borrowed this car from John. He said he’ll never let me drive it again if I damage it.”

John’s car was a luxury vehicle.

Everyone wanted Noah to follow Serenity, so he seized the opportunity to ask John to lend him his expensive car.

Otherwise, he would not have consented to participate in something that would ultimately result in him being beaten by Serenity. None of them had ever faced Serenity in a fight, so they were unaware of her combat skills. Noah also realized that everyone was pressuring him into this task because he was not yet a legal adult.
