The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 126

After the meal, Riley followed Arthur and the others as they left the main villa.

The moment they stepped back into their own quarters, the anger Arthur had been suppressing finally erupted. He glared coldly at Serena. "Put away your little schemes. If you act like a fool again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Serena remained defiant but only dared to mutter, "What did I do wrong? Why is Grandpa yelling at me?"

Beatrice's heart ached for her daughter, and she tried to defend her. "Dad, I don't think Serena is any less worthy than that Winona girl. We shouldn't..."

"Mom, stop making things worse," Pierce interrupted sharply. "The Spencer Family is a century-old dynasty with power rivaling the St. John Global. Even if their net worth isn't quite as high, their foundation is incredibly deep. They are not to be underestimated."

He turned his gaze to Serena. "Winona is the beloved princess of the Spencer family. Her parents are notoriously protective of her. Humiliating her in public? Are you tired of living?"

Serena hadn't realized Winona's background was so formidable. Her face paled in fear, but the thought of Sebastian made her eyes well up with tears again. She looked down, twisting her fingers as tears began to fall.

Seeing his sister so upset, Pierce's heart softened, and his tone grew milder. "You can't force these things. Don't do something so foolish next time."

"If Sebastian were interested in you, I would naturally play matchmaker. But he clearly has no feelings for you. Pulling stunts like this will only destroy whatever goodwill he still has for the Landon family!" After reprimanding Serena, Arthur glared at Beatrice. "You two are a complete embarrassment to the Landon family!"

With a cold snort, he turned and stomped upstairs.

Serena slumped onto the sofa, covered her face, and burst into tears.

Beatrice immediately rushed over to comfort her.

Riley wanted no part of this drama. She went upstairs to her room to read. Just two pages in, Pierce walked in.
