Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1063

"The day after you left, Sebastian and Gwen showed up at the estate gates with their daughter, causing an absolute scene..."

"Where is the justice? Everyone, look at this! A granddaughter has kidnapped and imprisoned her own grandmother!" Gwen had shrieked, making a wild, hysterical spectacle of herself at the front entrance, while Sebastian weakly tried to pull her back.

"Get up, Gwen. Mira isn't like that. This has to be a misunderstanding. Just hold on, let me call her," Sebastian had pleaded, pulling out his phone and dialing repeatedly to no avail.

Gwen only screamed louder. "What did I tell you? Your precious niece blocked your number!"

By then, a massive crowd of onlookers had gathered.

"Everyone, look at what she's done! She conned her own grandmother out of her shares and locked her away in this house! That old woman held fifteen percent of the Quinn Group, worth billions of dollars, and Mira stole it all! Now she's keeping her imprisoned here, and her own family isn't even allowed to see her! What kind of monster does that?"

Playing her part perfectly, Seraphina had sobbed loudly. "Mom, please stop. We can't fight Mira. She has Owen Lance backing her! Owen sent his own flesh-and-blood brother to prison. What chance do we have? We're nothing to them!"

Whispers had started rippling through the crowd. "No wonder her Solflare Group exploded so fast. She funded it with her grandmother's stolen money."

"She actually locked her grandmother up? How does she sleep at night?"

"Yeah, I heard Miss Mercer practically saved her grandmother's life. The Quinns married their daughter off to Lawrence Lance and gave the poor woman a stress-induced illness. Miss Mercer only brought her here so she could recover in peace."

"Damn straight. If it weren't for Miss Mercer, Eleanor would be dead by now. Thanks to her care, the old woman's heart condition is completely managed. I literally saw her yesterday, looking radiant and healthy. She even stopped to chat with me!"

"She takes a walk around the neighborhood every single day. I see her constantly. How does that translate to being locked in a dungeon?"

"Eleanor plays cards with us every afternoon! She always brings us snacks too. Her private chef is incredible. Look, she even gave me this jade pendant as a gift. She is living her best life with her granddaughter. Why is it that, according to these lunatics, Miss Mercer is evil, the grandmother is crazy, and they are the only perfect victims?"
