"I hope nothing bad happens to him..."Although Serena felt a sense of justice hearing about what happened to Isaac from Layla after regaining consciousness, Serena knew one thing very clearly.Although she was filled with hatred toward Isaac for drugging her, if something really bad happened to him, the Lloyd family could not afford the consequences.Layla noticed Serena's concern. "Serena, why are you worried about Isaac? That lecherous fat guy deserved some suffering! Our main priority now should be to find the person who saved you."She looked at Serena curiously and asked, "You really can't remember anything?"Serena sighed and shook her head, "No, I have no memory of it. The only thing I remember is that Isaac drugged me and tried to take advantage of me, but everything that happened after that, I can't recall at all..."Layla was right. Besides Isaac, the most important thing was to find out who saved her. After all, being able to rush into the room decisively in that sit
"Was it Tobias?" After hearing Layla's words, Serena shook her head after a moment of contemplation. "It couldn't have been him. When I was drugged, Tobias wasn't even there..."She did not finish her sentence. Serena could not shake off the peculiar feeling about Tobias's sudden departure that night. She still vividly remembered how, when she was being forced to drink by Isaac and hoped Tobias would say something on her behalf, he silently sat there with his head down.Even after she regained consciousness, Serena had tried to contact Tobias to understand what had happened, but strangely, he never answered her calls."Then, who could it be?" Layla murmured.Only a few people knew about what had happened yesterday.Suddenly, Layla looked up, staring intently at Serena. "Serena! You said the person who rushed to save you… Could it be Liam?"Serena frowned at her sister's words. "Who did you say?"Layla's eyes were wide open. "Liam, my brother-in-law. He called me yesterday to a
Layla was already angry upon hearing Hailey's words."Etchen! How can you speak to us like that?! It was Isaac who drugged our sister! If it weren't for Serena's savior arriving in time, the consequences would've been unimaginable! Is it wrong for us to want to know who he really is?"In response, Etchen snorted coldly. "Unimaginable? I think our situation is already unimaginable! If the military comes knocking on our door, what do you say we'll do? What will happen to the Lloyd Group?"Layla's eyes widened with anger at his words. "Serena was the one negotiating the cooperation for us. None of this is her fault—""That's enough, Layla. Stop talking."However, Serena interrupted Layla before she could finish her sentence. Serena waved her hand, a bitter smile appearing on her pale face."He's right. We won't have a solution if the military comes looking for us. What we need to do now is think about what to do next!"At that moment, Sam, who had been standing to the side, looked
Upon hearing the news, the Lloyd family trembled in fear.Etchen glared at Serena with clenched teeth. "What's going on?! Look at what you've done! Will you only be satisfied if you get us all killed? All you had to do was sleep with Isaac! You've already divorced, so what difference does one night make? Now, look at the mess we're in! Isaac is dead, and his uncle is coming here! What are we supposed to do?!"His face contorted with rage. Given the background of Isaac's uncle, if he brought his men to their home, their lives would be in serious danger.Serena was stunned. She never imagined that after everything that happened yesterday, Isaac would end up dead. Although she was furious with Isaac after he drugged her, hearing about his death made her realize how dire the situation had become.Sam's face was filled with panic. "What are we going to do? I heard Isaac's uncle has a terrible temper and is known for his ruthlessness in the military. If he seeks revenge, we could be in r
As soon as he heard the sound of the bolt being pulled, a look of terror flashed across Etchen's face.He shouted, "General Ender, stop! It's got nothing to do with us! It was Serena who attended the dinner. We know nothing about it! Even if it is related, it is connected to Serena alone. Go find her—"Etchen was terrified, babbling incessantly. However, Henry's guard slapped Etchen hard across the face before he could finish his sentence, sending him sprawling to the ground.Smack!"Do you want to die? This is not your place to speak!"Etchen fell to the floor, his face burning with pain, leaving his mind in a daze. Instinctively, he raised his head, his eyes filled with resentment as he looked at Serena.He believed that Serena caused all of it.It was not just Etchen. Every member of the Lloyd family glared at Serena with hatred. However, they forgot that Serena had attended the dinner because of them, for the sake of the Lloyd Group.Serena sighed softly. "He's right. This
Serena nodded. "Yes! Mister Corona is a friend of Mister Timberwood. I got to know Mister Timberwood through Mister Corona. He was present during our meal, so he might have some clues. General Ender, could you please give me some time to contact Mister Corona?""No need for such trouble."General Henry gave a cold smile and signaled to his guards. Immediately after, a terrified voice echoed as several soldiers brought In Tobias."I don't know anything! Mister Timberwood asked me to go out and buy things for him. I didn't even return to the hotel!""Tobias?"Serena was stunned at the sight. She did not expect that General Henry had already captured the person she could not reach, Tobias.Henry sneered. "If you wanted to call him, I doubt you would have reached him. When I found him, he was at the airport. He would've already escaped if I had arrived a bit later!"Serena was even more taken aback. "What?"However, Hailey, not understanding the situation, saw Tobias as her last ho
Serena abruptly widened her eyes with disbelief as she looked at him. "The incident with the Hill family… It wasn't you who did it? It wasn't you who spoke to the Hill family?""What does that have to do with me? It was you who insisted on giving me the credit!" Tobias snapped back at her, deflecting the blame.The rest of the Lloyd family stood there, stunned by Tobias's words. They had not expected to uncover another truth while dealing with Isaac's death. The Hill family spared the Lloyd Group and even agreed to resume their collaboration was not because of Tobias.Serena was momentarily dazed. "Then, who could it be?"For a moment, her heart was filled with confusion and uncertainty. During the incident with the Hill family and even Isaac's drug attempt, when someone saved her at a critical moment, made Serena feel as if there was someone silently protecting her.Instinctively, an image of Liam angrily telling her that the Hill family matter had nothing to do with Tobias flash
Initially, Henry harbored suspicions about Tobias. However, after the recent events, Henry was certain of one thing—Isaac's death had nothing to do with Tobias.Therefore, there was only one person left who might know the truth.Henry's eyes were cold as he looked at Serena. "Let me ask you again. What exactly happened to Isaac? If you can't answer me, don't blame me for what happens next!"Serena smiled bitterly. "General Ender, I really don't know..."Although she wanted to protect the person who saved her, she also genuinely had no idea what had happened that night. However, Henry clearly did not believe her.He sneered, his gaze sweeping over the Lloyd family. "It seems you don't realize the gravity of the situation..."Henry waved his hand. Immediately, the guards beside him, holding their guns, began to approach the rest of the Lloyd family.Suddenly, a guard holding a document ran in and reported to Henry, "General, we've found something! Through Serena's phone, we discov
