Beatrice beamed, and before hanging up, she said, "No backtracking!"After the call ended, Justin kept his phone in his pocket. "Come along, then."Serena took a few steps away from him and headed in the other direction. "I can get a cab.""Serena, you're—" Justin argued."Quade Group is out of the way for you if you're heading to Farrow Corporation," Serena cut him off curtly, her pretty face impassive. "I don't want to come between Desiree and Mr. Quade, but I don't want anything to do with you, either."Justin fixed her with a steely look. "What if I were to break up with Candice?""I told you before that Candice wasn't the problem, but you'd never understand." Serena turned and ran down the steps. Upon leaving through the cemetery gates, she slid into one of the cabs idling by the curb and disappeared from Justin's sight.…Inside the Bentley, Desiree explained softly, "I didn't know it was your mom's death anniversary today until my father told me. I figured I'd come by an

Serena swung by the supermarket after work before heading home. She was about to enter her neighborhood when she had the odd feeling of being watched.She turned, but when she found nothing and no one suspicious, she headed into her apartment building.She filled Bingo's bowl with kibbles. She was about to make dinner when her phone rang with a new message.It was from the same unknown number, and the text was more lewd than the last one. "I secretly followed you all the way home. I was fantasizing about you while I was jerking off. I can't hold on much longer. I want to…"Serena gagged at the rest of the text, which was unspeakable. She felt like a wet tongue was licking her through her phone screen. She wanted to throw her phone away.She willed herself to calm down as she recalled the feeling she'd had earlier on her way home. So, she hadn't been imagining it when she sensed someone watching her. The creep must have been in the area! Who could it be?Just then, the doorbell ra

After a while of dry-heaving, Bingo hurled out a chunk of what appeared to be undigested kibbles. Willow cried, "Serena, Bingo just threw up!"Serena hurried over and carefully cleaned Bingo's vomit before gingerly pulling the feline into her arms. It looked lethargic. "Bingo's temperature feels wrong. I have to make a trip to the vet.""I'll come with you," Willow offered, grabbing the cat carrier before they headed out with Bingo in tow.Downstairs, Serena stopped by the gates and waited for Willow to bring the car around. She was getting anxious and impatient when she noticed a figure darting around the corner.The figure had moved quickly, but not before Serena realized it was a man. She suddenly remembered something and hurried to the security booth just a few feet away.The security guard on duty was a young man. His legs were crossed, and he was scrolling through his phone when Serena approached him. "Hi, I live in the area. I was wondering if you could retrieve the securit

Serena was about to turn in for the night when she got a call from Wilson. "Are you asleep?""I'm about to go to bed. Is there anything I can help you with, Mr. Quade?" Serena asked.There was a brief pause on the other end before he said, "Nothing. I was wondering if you could make chicken broth tomorrow. You can show up late to work. I won't dock your pay.""Sure," Serena replied."Thanks. Goodnight, Ms. Judd." Relieved to hear that Serena didn't sound any different than usual, Wilson hung up.The next morning, Serena showed up at work on time with a flask of broth in hand.Wilson was on the phone with somebody. He cut a dashing silhouette in his black suit as he stood before the expansive floor-to-ceiling window. He had one hand in his pocket and a cigarette in the other, the smoke unfurling from between his slender fingers, snaking up his wrist and blurring his handsome profile.He was speaking Andolusian with the person on the other line.When the call ended, Wilson turned

William stared at Serena for a heartbeat before his eyes widened. "I remember now! This damn brat was behind that ridiculous article years ago that accused me of being a manipulative two-timer who fought with the entire Quade family! The scandal was so blown out of proportion that I could have died of disgrace!"Serena froze. She turned to look at Wilson, puzzled. He had told her William was old and his memories were muddled.Wilson chuckled. "Not bad. You still remember a thing or two from the past.""I'm old, not senile!" William scowled. "It's not as if I could forget her name that easily! At that point, no one in their right mind in Nocturna would think to openly denigrate me! I would have made her pay if I hadn't thought she was a young lady still learning the ways of the world!""Oh, please. It was obvious you and your wife weren't getting along at that point, and you had bad endurance. You shouldn't blame Serena," Wilson pointed out, not bothering to speak up for his father.

Serena sat anxiously on the long bench out in the hospital corridor as she waited for Wilson.At that moment, the staccato of footsteps sounded from down the corridor. Serena looked up to see a small group of people escorting a young woman, whose head was bandaged, in a wheelchair toward the VIP room.The young woman was none other than Candice. She spotted Serena and asked, "Serena, what are you doing here?"Serena made no reply.Candice's brows knitted together. "Serena, I'm talking to you. Hello? Why aren't you responding?""Can't you see I'm not in the mood to talk to you?" Serena snapped. Of all the people she could run into in a private hospital, it just had to be Candice. She should have checked her horoscope reading today before leaving the house.The director of the neurosurgery department and Justin brought up the rear of Candice's medical team. The former was holding Candice's tests and explaining the treatment plan to Justin.Justin listened in earnest but froze when

Serena turned and walked away.Justin's expression darkened as he watched her retreating figure. His fist clenched, and in the next moment, he turned and punched the wall beside him.How could she accuse him of not loving her?If he didn't love her, then why did the sight of her with Wilson fill him with such rage?A chuckle suddenly broke the silence.Justin turned his head and saw Wilson leaning lazily against the hospital bed. It was unclear how long he had been watching.Justin's face darkened further."You were eavesdropping?""What eavesdropping? I was listening openly." Wilson's amusement was visible to the naked eye.Justin frowned. "What are you even doing here?"Wilson let out a cold scoff. "Why do you care? Do you own this place? I go wherever I want."He strolled over casually. As he passed Justin, he even offered a parting remark, "Wish your girlfriend a speedy recovery."Justin nearly swung a punch at his face.Just as Wilson left, Zane jogged over. "Mr. Farr

Not long after returning to the office, Serena received a call from the police.They informed her that the suspect she had reported had been found.However, under questioning, it came to light that the man had an intellectual disability, and the phone number she'd cited was registered to a woman with no connection to him. In short, there wasn't enough evidence to prove he was the stalker, so they released him.Serena thanked the officer and ended the call.An intellectual disability? Could someone with such a condition send those kinds of explicit messages?She wasn't sure.After thinking about it, she went downstairs to a convenience store and bought a bottle of pepper spray to keep in her bag.That evening, work was hectic, so she stayed late to finish up.Just as she was about to leave, an unknown number called.The frantic voice on the other end belonged to Mollie."Serena, it's me!""What is it?"Mollie sounded exasperated. "You're off work now, right? If you're free

Joseph was speechless. "What the hell is going on? Do I have that little value? It's like even stray dogs bark at me when they pass by.""Say that again!" Justin scowled."I wasn't talking about you…" Joseph sighed. "Justin, listen, I actually have good news for you. I went to the fortune teller with my mom today and ran into Serena. I saw her getting a protection charm for you."There was a brief silence on the other end."Are you sure it was for me?""Who else would it be for? She doesn't have any family, barely any close friends, and let's be honest, the only person around her who's been dealing with health problems lately is you."Your stomach issues keep acting up. If it's not for you, then who?""I got it," Justin said. His tone was noticeably lighter.Joseph scoffed internally. "Wow. That mood shift was fast."…A Rolls-Royce slowly pulled up at the fortune teller's shop's entrance. The window rolled down, revealing Jacob's strikingly handsome face from the back seat.

With a firm motion, Wilson turned Serena around and led her out of the back courtyard.He gave her a knowing look. "Ms. Judd, instead of meditating, were you sneaking around to watch a couple's intimate moment?"Serena felt her face heat up. "This is supposed to be a quiet place! I didn't expect to stumble into that."She eyed him suspiciously. "Mr. Quade, are you here to get your fortunes read too?"He didn't seem like the superstitious type.Wilson smiled. "Of course. I heard this place is good for matchmaking, so I came to see when I'll finally meet my fated one."Serena went silent. She inwardly scoffed, "As if he needed divine intervention." If he wanted, there would be countless women lining up for him."What about you, Ms. Judd? Shouldn't you be resting at home? What brought you here?""Lauren thinks my luck has been terrible lately, so she dragged me here to see if it'll turn around." Serena sighed.A thought crossed her mind. She reached into her bag and pulled out

The fortune teller took Serena's fortune stick, glanced at it, and immediately smiled. "This is a top-tier fortune."Lauren's eyes lit up. "My bestie was asking about romance! Does this mean she's about to meet her destined one?"The fortune teller nodded."The signs suggest that your destined person has already appeared in your life. However, there will be obstacles and misunderstandings between you two, causing you to miss each other."But don't worry. The clouds will clear eventually, and you will reunite and stay together."Lauren frowned while rubbing her chin. "Wait a second… Why does this sound like you and that scumbag Justin?"She couldn't make sense of it. As far as she knew, Wilson and Serena had no significant past connection. So where did this "already appeared in your life" part come from?The thought alone unsettled her. If Serena ever reconciled with Justin, she might actually lose her mind!"Alright, then check mine, sir. I was asking about my boyfriend's caree

"Oh, really?" Wilson narrowed his eyes, then suddenly reached out and pressed the burning cigarette against Lara's arm.She let out a sharp scream. Before she could cry out further, Kayden covered her mouth."I'll give you one more chance," Wilson said coldly. "If you don't talk, next time, this cigarette will be on your daughter's face. Weren't you hoping she'd use that face to marry into wealth?"Candice's face turned deathly pale. She grabbed Lara's hand and immediately dropped to her knees."Mr. Quade, I don't know how I've offended you! I really don't know what you're talking about…"Lara, muffled by Kayden's hand, shook her head frantically. Meanwhile, the air was thick with the acrid scent of burned flesh.Candice sobbed as she tried to explain, "Mr. Quade, all I know is that Lucas ran into my dad last time and said he had a criminal record, which made it hard for him to find a job."He begged my dad for help, and since they were from the same hometown, my dad forged an I

Lauren scratched her head. "It's just a gut feeling. But honestly, I don't know Mr. Quade that well. Rina, why are you suddenly asking me this?"Serena told her about what had happened yesterday, and Lauren's face changed instantly."Another creep? Damn, what kind of luck do you have? Why do you keep running into these messed-up situations?""At least nothing bad happened," Serena said calmly."Still… based on what you just told me, I'd say there's a good chance Mr. Quade likes you."Serena's eyes widened. "Are you sure?""Of course! He even patted your head. That kind of intimate gesture is something only a brother or a boyfriend would do. Unless he's your long-lost sibling, that means he wants to be your man."Lauren's eyes gleamed with excitement. "Hehe, Rina, can you smell that? Spring's coming.""Spring is long over. It's practically winter already," Serena muttered, still unable to believe that Wilson might actually have feelings for her.Lauren jumped up from the couch

"Then… Then what should we do?" Lara asked.Candice spoke in a low voice. "Act like you don't know anything. Also, get rid of the phone you used to contact Lucas. Just cancel the number and destroy it immediately."Lara nodded repeatedly. "Okay, got it… You be careful too."Then, she hurriedly hung up.Candice gripped the steering wheel, thought for a moment, and then drove back to the hospital. For now, all she could do was wait for news.She was certain that Lucas wouldn't betray her. As long as she didn't expose herself, she would be fine.…Meanwhile, Serena had a peaceful night's sleep at home. She woke up to a message from Wilson the next morning, saying the matter had been taken care of.She immediately called him. "Mr. Quade, I still think we should report this to the police. I'm worried someone was deliberately targeting me this time."Wilson's voice was calm and reassuring as he said, "I already reported it yesterday. That man's name is Lucas Montgomery."He has a p

In his half-conscious state, Justin felt a soft, delicate hand slide across his chest.It moved down past his abdomen as he shot out his hand, grabbing the wrist tightly.His eyes snapped open, and in an instant, he flipped over, pinning the person beneath him.The scent of alcohol still lingered on him."Serena… No, you're not Serena."Candice wrapped her arms around his neck."You're dreaming again, Justin. Just pretend I'm Serena. I love you. I'd do anything for you."She lifted her head and pressed her lips to his.Justin's body tensed for a brief moment.Then, he took control, gripping the back of her head and kissing her forcefully.Candice's heart surged with joy.She eagerly tilted her head back, responding passionately.…The next morning, Justin remained in a deep sleep until mid-morning.When he finally woke, his throat was dry, and he instinctively reached for the water on the nightstand.But his hand pressed against someone.His eyes flew open.

Garbage like that had no place here. It belonged where it belonged—in the trash. …After getting an IV and taking his medication at the hospital, Justin's stomach finally felt a little better.Mollie had just breathed a sigh of relief when, out of nowhere, he yanked out the IV and insisted on going home.She couldn't stop him. All she could do was grumble and drive him back to the villa. "The doctor told you a hundred times—your stomach needs rest. No drinking. But you just had to mess yourself up! Justin, ever since Serena left, you've completely lost it!"Justin leaned back against the car seat, his eyes closed. It was unclear if he was even listening.Taking advantage of his half-drunken state, Mollie kept ranting."You were so damn confident before, saying Serena would never leave you—like she couldn't live without you. Well, look at you now. I guess that confidence didn't age well, huh? "I'm not even a fan of Serena, but to be fair, this is all on you. Of all the thing

At this moment, Wilson's voice was nothing short of heavenly to Serena.Behind her, the man, his swollen eyes barely open, still came charging after her."You bitch! I'm going to kill you!"He was still unsteady from climbing up when a powerful kick knocked him off his feet.He crashed hard at the basement entrance, the impact echoing through the space.Kayden walked down the stairs at a leisurely pace, his expression unreadable.Serena turned her head. "Is he dead?“"Not something you need to worry about."Wilson turned her face back toward him, scanning her up and down. Seeing that she was unharmed, he finally let you a breath of relief."Did he hurt you?"Serena's wide eyes blinked as she shook her head. "No. I caught him off guard and used my pepper spray."Wilson chuckled softly and ruffled her hair. "Not bad."Serena felt a bit odd. Wasn't this gesture too intimate?Wilson took her hand. "Leave this to Kayden. I'll take you back to your complex first."Serena obedie
