Chapter 184 Adah was left speechless by Claire's sharp retort.
Seeing Adah at a loss, Nathan's anger boiled over. He hissed, "If I'd known you were incapable of change, I never would have taken you from that orphanage. I should have left you there to fend for yourself." "After running away for a month, I bet you bought those clothes with filthy money earned from selling yourself! And now you plan to use the Aberdeen gala to seduce men? Dream on. As your father, I have every right to discipline a shameless daughter like you." Nathan's words exploded like a bomb in the crowd, causing a wave of murmurs and judgmental glances directed at Claire.
Nathan, feeling triumphant, thought to himself, This little brat, I'm her father, and she won't get away from me.

Even if I have to beat you, I'll stop you from your reckless behavior." Nathan swung his large hand toward Claire, ready to strike.
Adah rushed forward, hoping to restrain Claire so Nathan could hit her.
"Claire, stop being stubborn. Haven't you embarrassed us enough?" But before they could reach Claire, Liam and the driver intervened, kicking them both to the ground. Nathan and Adah attempted to fight back, but Liam had called security, who quickly pinned them down. Nathan's face turned crimson with rage, veins bulging on his forehead, his eyes wide with fury.
He was the chairman of The Linwood Group, a prominent figure in Cresthaven's elite circles. Yet here he was, forced into a humiliating kneeling position.
Glaring at Claire with venom, he shouted, "Do you know who I am? You'll regret treatinglike this!" Adah, sobbing, cried out, "Claire, we're your parents! How can you let them treat us like this?" Now they remembered they were her parents? During those three years in the Linwood family, when they treated her like air and subjected her to emotional abuse, where was that parental concern? When they forced her to take the fall for Vanessa, leading to five years of torment in prison, where was it then? When she returned, only to face beatings and hospital visits, while they silenced Irene from speaking the truth, where was it? Yet now, as she stood above them, they suddenly remembered their roles as parents? Claire watched Nathan and Adah kneeling at her feet like dogs, feeling nothing but satisfaction.
"Liam, did Mr. Foster send them an invitation?" Liam's expression was icy. "No." He turned to the head of security with a stern gaze. "Explain this."
The security chief broke into a sweat.
"I'm sorry, it was a lapsinŷduties.

Liam exchanged a glance with the driver, who nodded and followed the guards out.
Initially, the security team planned to release Nathan and Adah once they were outside the hotel.
However, Sean's driver spoke up, his voice devoid of emotion, "Take thèm over there, he instructed, indicating a shadowy alley beside the hotel. The head of security gulped, sensing trouble, but dared to ask, "What are your intentions...?"
The driver's eyes drifted to Nathan and Adah's legs. "Break their legs.
That way, they won't wander into En places they shouldn't." The guards hesitated, their eyes widening in shock.
