Callum was cautious about not overstepping his boundaries with his sister-in-law, so he refrained from getting physical. He quickly stepped in front of Serenity, spreading his arms to block her path and said, “Don’t go, Seren. Zachary is on his way. He’ll be here soon.”
Serenity shot him a furious glare. In that moment, Callum couldn’t help but notice that his sister-in-law had the same icy stare as his brother. Was Serenity beginning to resemble Zachary now that they had been married for some time?
“Callum. Wait, no. Mr. Callum, please move aside.”
When Serenity added a title to his name, Callum forced a bitter smile. “Come on, Seren, I’m sorry. It’s all our fault.” He too had been part of the deception that misled Serenity. It wasn’t just him; the entire family had deceived her. It was no wonder Serenity was furious when she discovered the truth. Her eyes were as cold as a December winter, and her expression was thunderous.
“Mr. Callum, I insist you move! You’ll regret it if you don’t step aside now.”
Callum stood his ground. He had the heavy responsibility of persuading his sister-in-law to stay. Despite her intimidating demeanor, he knew his brother would unleash his wrath if Serenity wasn’t present when he arrived. Weighing his options, Callum decided that Serenity posed the lesser threat.
Suddenly, Serenity lunged at him with a punch. Callum was well-versed in fighting and swiftly dodged her attack. While he was evading, Serenity attempted to make a run for it, but Callum blocked her path again. She struck at him once more.
They exchanged blows in front of the office building, while onlookers maintained their distance, watching without intervening. Meanwhile, Josh was on his way to pick up Jasmine.
Upon hearing about the fight, he stopped the car, exited, and ran to intervene. Serenity was capable of taking down a group of thugs, but her years of self-defense training were ineffective against Josh and Callum. No matter how hard she tried to push past them, the two refused to move aside and would not allow her to leave.
