James' fingers tightened, squeezing Serena's arm until it hurt. After a long while, he said, "Okay, I'll wait."
Serena breathed a sigh of relief.
James watched her reaction clearly, and just as he expected, Serena would reveal the truth as long as he used some tricks to coax her.
Like a crappy third-rate actor.
It looked like the result he wanted was right before his eyes.
But how could such a clumsy actress act out betrayal so realistically? Was it because of true feelings? Or was she just acting even her clumsiness?
Could it be that she was first-rate and just pretended to be third-rate to deceive him?
James looked at her for a while, and the hostility that was about to burst out gradually dissipated. He wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and smiled purely without any deep meaning.
"Don't be nervous, go to work first."
It means going to work literally.
Serena packed up and got into the back seat of the Maybach,
Serena only gave Sun Heng a brief explanation before returning by car.The hotel was not far from the company, only a 20-minute drive away, but Serena felt like every second was a year .Where should I start?Liao Hongjuan's life was hanging by a thread, and William offered to help her. In fact, at the beginning, he did not make any requests. Until one day when Liao Hongjuan's vital signs returned to normal, he asked her out and told her that he would not live long and hoped that she could do him a small favor.Serena remembered how William looked that day. He was very desperate, as if he had suffered a fatal blow.It is true that when a life that is so prosperous suddenly comes to an end, anyone would be despairing.She didn't agree at first, but William didn't force her. Instead, he smiled bitterly and said, "This is asking for repayment, it's too much, I know, but... I have no one to ask for help."Serena sat by her mother's bedsid
Serena didn't walk far. She got off the elevator and came to the hotel lobby. The sun was scorching outside, making her dizzy . Sadness, despair and anticipation mixed together, and she suddenly couldn't move a step.What is coming has finally come, faster than expected.Meng Jinyun, the only daughter of the current chairman of the Meng Group, once lived in the west wing of William's courtyard for a year. She is James' undisputed childhood sweetheart, William's true sweetheart, and only girlfriend.That year, when William approached her for collaboration, he had just broken up with Meng Jinyun for the third time, and he was the one who was dumped three times.This shows how infatuated he is.Serena once suspected that one of the reasons why William got married regardless of the consequences was that the emotional wound was difficult to heal.And for James, this childhood sweetheart is equally important.The first time I met Meng Jinyu
Serena was speechless for a moment. The other party probably noticed it and suppressed her anger."Where are you? Speak!""James, if you mean to say that nothing happened between you and Meng Jinyun and she just happened to pass by, then I understand. If you want to ask me why I came back..." Serena paused, "It was almost time for the meeting, and I couldn't get through to your phone so I had to come back to find you. That's all. I didn't mean to disturb you."There was heavy breathing on the other end of the receiver."Is that what you're talking about?"Serena's explanation became increasingly rambling. "I, I saw Ser Investments... It's a pretty cozy name, but it may not be good enough to attract money."A meaningless sneer sounded from the other side."You didn't take the bus back to the company. You couldn't have gone far in such a short time. You must be nearby. I'll ask you one last time, where are you?"James stood in the
James was put into the police car without sirens on, with his hands in his pockets like an arrogant police chief.He never looked at Serena once.Serena stood on the steps and watched the car go away. Not long after, someone called out to her, "Serena!"Serena turned around to see who was coming and almost cried."Huainan, Jay has been arrested!"Lu Huainan hurriedly comforted her, "I know, don't worry, just come back with me first."Serena was sent back to the hotel. Meng Jinyun had already left and the suite was empty."Serena, calm down and listen to me first." Lu Huainan was rarely serious. "Brother Ye has Sun Heng and the legal team . He is prepared."Serena sat on the sofa, clenched her fists on her knees, and asked hoarsely, "Is this the Chen family's counterattack?""Well, this kind of counterattack is usually the sooner the better. If it's too late, Chen Shi will be finished, and they will be finished. That's why
"Not really acquaintance...we just met briefly that day."Serena quickly told him what happened that night."Oh my god, this is a honey trap!" Shen Qingxiang said angrily, "This is absolutely amazing, I've never seen anything like this before. After failing, they can still find someone to stage a scam and scam people from a distance!""Qingxiang, this is probably not a trap, it's a honey trap specifically targeting my fifth brother."Shen Qingxiang hummed , "A game that is sure to win."Qingqing's accusation is actually far-fetched.Her most crucial evidence was a video. Shen Qingxiang said that in the video, half of the man's face was revealed for a few seconds and he looked very much like James. Most of the time, he had his back to the camera when he committed the assault. His height, hairstyle and even figure were very similar to James .But even so, this piece of evidence does not stand up to scrutiny, and even a trainee lawyer ca
After ending the call with Elliot, Serena became even more distressed.If it wasn't Elliot, then there must be someone else behind the Chen family's counterattack, and this was really not something she could intervene in.Actually, what Elliot said was right. Even if Shen Dechang was dissatisfied, he would not really let anything happen to his son. After teaching his son a lesson, he would still make peace with the family. At most, the power in James' hands would no longer be secure, and there was also Meng Jinyun.Be it Meng Jinyun or Shen Dechang, both of them are more capable and have more sophisticated means than her , so what does she count for?Serena drank the soup that Sister Sun scooped for her .Meng Jinyun chose a good time to come back and reached out to James when he was on the verge of collapse. Once James accepted, the two were bound together by interests.Serena knew better than anyone how hard it was to repay a debt of favo
A car drove through a puddle at high speed , splashing a lot of water. Lin Boting took Serena into his arms, stood in front of her, and moved her to the side.Lin Boting doesn't wear perfume. After staying in the hospital for a long time, he can faintly smell the smell of disinfectant. It is solemn and spotless, like a statue of a god. Even if you don't want to get close to it, you can still feel its temperature and heartbeat.The heartbeat was thumping , rapid and powerful.Serena raised her eyes and looked into his gaze. The concern in her eyes was so direct and frank, and unlike her gentle temperament, it was hot.Seeing that she was in a daze, Lin Boting thought that she was splashed by water, so he leaned over to look at her legs. They were close to each other, and when he lowered his head, his hair brushed against her nose, and they could smell each other's breath for an instant, and a hint of ambiguity flowed.Serena flinched away, "I'm fi
“I’m not scared;"You are worried about exposing your relationship. Don't worry, I can handle these minor problems myself. As for you, Serena." James said coldly, "Stay still. Don't touch things you shouldn't touch, and don't look for people you shouldn't look for. Do you understand?"His tone was so rude that Serena felt wronged. She was worried about him and tossed and turned, but he called her for the first time after so many days just to teach her a lesson."Mr. Forrest is really worrying too much. What else can a secretary like me do except stay here and do my job well? I am not as capable as your Miss Meng."Speaking of Meng Jinyun, James said in a deep voice, "What did the second sister say to you?""Do I need anyone to tell me? Just ask around and you'll know that Miss Meng went to the police station in person to save you." Serena held her breath, "Mr. Forrest must be very touched.""It's OK. It feels good to be rescued."He a
