Chapter 22 The Willards Come
The sight of Natalie filled Jeremiah with dread. He thought, “Why is Natalie here? She’s Grandma’s confidant.”
“Natalie…
Natalie cut Jeremiah off aloofly, “Mr. Willard, I called the police as Ms. Willard was kidnapped in my presence. I should be responsible for her safety.”
Jeremiah felt he was in real trouble at that moment. When Devona found out, she’d side with Seryna.
Zachary said, “Ms. Willard, we’ll do our job right and give you a satisfactory answer. ”
Seryna found his attitude odd. She felt he wasn’t helping her because she was a Willard, He did it only because she was herself.
Jeremiah’s head snapped to Seryna, and he warned, “Seryna, you just returned to our family. Don’t push it.”
A plain threat
Seryna looked at him coldly. This was only the beginning.
“Mr. Willard, I was kidnapped tonight. And you’re the man behind it. We’re adults and know the laws. People should pay for their actions.”
Seryna turned to Natalie. “Natalie, let’s go home.”
Natalie squinted her eyes and asked, “Ms. Willard, by home, where do

Seryna planned to stay in the Willards‘ house. But after today’s event, she changed her mind. She needed to grow. These people would only bring her down.
Seryna wanted to grow into a person who could take charge of the Willard family. And she’d take care of these people sooner or later.
She couldn’t win against Jeremiah at that moment. But once she’d matured, he’d be nothing.
Seryna smiled bitterly, “Natalie, I don’t have a home anymore. My brother kidnapped me and wanted to ruin my life. I have no place to go. May as well go back to Grandma.”
Jeremiah panicked. He’d be doomed once Devona heard about this.
“Seryna, I repeat. This is just an accident. Why can’t you listen?”
Seryna didn’t want to talk to Jeremiah and directly started heading outside with Natalie.
Jeremiah grew more nervous. If Devona knew he kidnapped Seryna, she’d despise him. Devona had power in the house, so he must keep it from her.
Jeremiah glared at the back of Seryna and said in a dark tone, “Seryna, be careful of your words when you see Grandma.”
Natalie turned and looked at him. “Mr. Willard, I’ll report everything that happens today honestly to Devona, You can come after me. Leave Ms. Willard alone.”
Jeremiah said nothing, though he was fuming inside.
He was mad at Seryna because she refused to back off. Why did she have

Zachary watched Seryna leave and went to a quiet corner to make a call.
With a playful smile, Zachary said, “Keenan, tell Mr. Hatfield that I’ll handle Ms. Willard’s kidnappers.
Keenan replied, “Thank you, Zachary.”
Zachary asked curiously, “Why does Mr. Hatfield help Ms. Willard?”
Keenan chuckled, “Zachary, there’s a saying you should know.”
Zachary asked, “What is it?”
Keenan said, “Curiosity kills the cat!”
Zachary hung up immediately.
Jeremiah was arrested for abetting a crime.

The Willard went to the station once they received the notice.
However, Seryna was long gone.
Furious, Jennett nearly passed out. Her resentment for Seryna grew.
But Tehila was secretly happy about it. Since Seryna sent Jeremiah to prison, they’d never make up. And she’d remain Jeremiah’s favorite.
Jeremiah was a vindictive man. Seryna was doomed.
Rashad was the only one who kept a clear head. On the way to the station, he called Natalie, so he knew what had happened.
He walked up to Jeremiah, his gaze stern. “Jeremiah, you hired people to kidnap Seryna?”
