Chapter 447 Are You Staring at Me?

The guests made a beeline for the main hall to say hi to Heather, who was sitting in the prime spot.

The chit-chat was all about how Heather looked so young, how impressive she was, and other sweet talk to get on her good side.

Heather just smiled and nodded at everyone.

Seeing these folks, who usually outranked her, now buttering her up, she was obviously thrilled!

After showing a group of guests to their seats, Heather turned to Andy and said, "Andy, you did an awesome job getting all these big shots here!"

Andy, crouching next to Heather with a grin, replied, "It's all thanks to your stellar reputation. I just did a bit of legwork."

Heather, pleased with the flattery, nodded. "How's Sarah holding up?"

Andy answered, "She's still kneeling at the door. Hasn't moved since six this morning. Didn't think she'd stick it out this long!"

Heather smirked. "Perseverance? She had it coming!"

Andy agreed, "Absolutely! Now that she's admitted defeat and is kneeling outside, you've totally won this round!"

Heather laughed triumphantly!

Yesterday, she gave Sarah one last shot to hand over SR Group.

Sarah initially refused, so Heather got a lawyer involved and spread news of Ryder's arrest online to crank up the pressure!

Around ten last night, Sarah called Heather.

To save Ryder and get the Johnson family to drop the lawsuit, Sarah agreed to transfer all SR Group shares to the Johnson family!

Heather was over the moon!

But she added another condition: Sarah had to bring the share transfer agreement and kneel at the gate from six in the morning until the birthday bash officially started.

No breaks allowed.

So, Sarah dragged herself to the gate early in the morning to kneel!

Heather's goal was simple: to get back at Sarah and show everyone that betraying or crossing the Johnson family had serious consequences!

Just then, Barbara stormed out of the room.

She confronted Heather, "Isn't this a bit much?"

Before Heather could respond, Sandra snapped, "Annie, watch your mouth. Today’s your grandma’s seventieth birthday, not a time for your tantrums!"

Lawrence added, "Annie, Sandra’s right. Sarah betrayed the Johnson family by siding with an outsider.. Technically, SR Group is ours. We’re just taking it back and giving her a little punishment. What’s wrong with that?"

Barbara scoffed, "SR Group was Sarah’s to begin with and has nothing to do with the Johnson family. You’re just making excuses to steal her property! Hypocrites! It's disgusting!"

That comment really hit a nerve with the Johnson family!

Their faces darkened.

Heather frowned and told Sandra, "Take her back to her room and let her cool off!"

Sandra nodded.

She then ordered two maids to drag Barbara back to her room. Outnumbered, Barbara couldn't fight them off and was eventually locked in her room!

But Heather was still in high spirits!

She turned to Tyler, who was sitting next to her, and smiled. "Mr. Young, sorry about that scene. Don’t worry, I'll make sure Sandra keeps Annie in line so she'll be obedient when she marries you!"

"That's good!" Tyler replied eagerly, but in his excitement, he accidentally tugged at his crotch!

A sharp pain shot through his groin!

"Ouch!" Cold sweat broke out on his back!

Barbara had kicked him hard that night.

Even after using ointment, it was still swollen!

Tyler thought, 'Barbara's got such a bad temper. Once I marry her, I'll make sure she pays for all this pain!'

Just then, Abigail chimed in, "Grandma, I think we should go out and see Sarah!"

Heather frowned and asked, "Why? Feeling sorry for her all of a sudden?"

Abigail quickly shook her head. "Of course not. Why would I feel sorry for her? I just think making her kneel is too boring. Since all the big shots in Houston are here today, we should humiliate her thoroughly so she loses all her dignity and never dares to defy us again! What do you think?"

Heather thought for a moment, then nodded. "Good idea! Help me up, let's go see her!"

With that, the Johnson family members stood up and headed towards the gate!

As they walked, the guests in the courtyard greeted Heather respectfully.

She responded with nods and smiles, flaunting her high status!

Soon, they reached the gate and saw Sarah.

Sarah was kneeling on the ground, staring straight into the courtyard!

Her cheeks were pale, her lips slightly blue, and sweat was dripping down her face!

She hadn't eaten much for nearly three days!

Her stamina was at its limit.

Plus, after kneeling for so long, her body was starting to tremble uncontrollably!

Seeing this, Abigail sneered, "Isn't this the famous Sarah of Houston? If you're so weak, don't push yourself. Otherwise, the guests might think we're bullying you!"

Sarah shifted her gaze to Abigail but said nothing.

"Are you staring at me?"

Abigail stepped forward, bent down, and pointed at Sarah, scolding her!

Sarah stayed silent.

"Still stubborn? Let's see how long you can keep that mouth shut!"

With that, Abigail rolled up her sleeves, ready to slap Sarah!

"Wait!"

Seeing Abigail about to strike, Heather stopped her.
