As Quentin Blanchet and his men were about to strike, Jenna Roland walked toward the black plastic bag.
She yanked it open, revealing a pile of dead rats inside.
Jenna's eyes turned icy. Just as she suspected—Yvonne Valois had sent them.
She approached Quentin and signaled for them to stop.
Three bruised and battered men lay groaning on the ground.
"So you're the ones harassing Stella and Sylvia Laurent?" Jenna said coldly.
"Denying it won't help." She nudged the black bag with her foot. "These dead rats are proof enough."
Crossing her arms, she continued, "I won't call the police, and I won't let them beat you to death."
"Go back and tell Yvonne this isn't just about the Laurent sisters anymore." Her eyes narrowed. "She'll pay for this. Now get out!"
The three men scrambled to their feet and fled.
"Wait!" Jenna snapped. "Take your trash with you!"
The last man stumbled back, grabbed the bag of dead rats, and bolted.
A loud thud echoed from the dumpster downstairs.
Once inside their car, Ian Heilbronn frowned at their injuries.
"What happened? Who did this?"
Shane Lombardi winced as he tried to speak, his split lip throbbing.
Jacob Agrigent gritted his teeth. "There's a woman living with them—she's got two bodyguards!"
"Those guys were trained. We didn't stand a chance."
Ian looked stunned. "All three of you lost?"
Shane cradled his swollen cheek. "That woman also said to tell Yvonne she's coming for her."
With no choice, Ian dialed Yvonne's number.
At the spa, Yvonne answered with her eyes closed.
"Yvonne, the Laurent sisters are living with someone—a woman with two bodyguards..."
When she heard "coming for me," Yvonne's eyes flew open.
She sneered. "Who does that bitch think she is?"
"Find out everything about her." Her red lips curled. "Next time, break the Laurent sisters' legs."
After hanging up, Ian relayed the orders.
Bridget Valois immediately pulled out her phone to investigate.

Back at the Beverly Hills penthouse, Jenna and Vincent Roland were watching TV when Stella and Sylvia emerged from their rooms.
