Too Late for Forgiveness Chapter 123
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

"You think it's easy for me? Driving all the way here in the middle of the night just to get beaten up." Joseph said.Serena frowned slightly. "Lead the way."The two led her upstairs.Inside the private room, Mollie let out a breath of relief when she saw her."You're finally here, Serena. Hurry up and talk some sense into Justin! He's had way too much to drink. If he keeps this up, he'll end up with a stomach ulcer!"Serena walked over to the couch.Justin was slumped against it, one hand clutching his stomach, the other gripping a bottle of liquor. The heavy scent of alcohol surrounded him.Standing in the dim lighting, Serena called out to him. "Justin."The man on the couch turned his head slightly. The moment he saw her, his gaze flickered with a hint of light.His eyes swept over the others in the room. "Get out."Without hesitation, the group filed out.Damian hesitated before leaving."Serena, we'll be right outside.""Oh, come on. What, do you think Justin's goin

Serena jerked her head to the side, and his lips landed on her cheek instead.That act of resistance completely ignited Justin. Fueled by alcohol, he lost all reason.He grabbed her chin."Not willing? Weren't you the one who used to chase after me? Serena, how did you move on so fast?"And now he was blaming her? Serena didn't bother arguing. She simply bit down hard on his hand.Justin gasped in pain, instinctively releasing her.Taking advantage of the opening, Serena swung her hand and slapped him hard across the face.Justin was stunned. "You dared to hit me?"Serena kicked him off her, scrambled up from the couch, and quickly smoothed out her wrinkled clothes."Are you sober now?"Justin didn't respond. He remained motionless, lying face-down on the floor."Justin?" Serena nudged his leg. "Stop faking."Still no reaction. Sensing something was wrong, she crouched down to check on him—only to see him clutching his stomach, his forehead drenched in sweat, his face t

It was the same man the police had released earlier.Serena's heart clenched. She was just about to scream when a sudden shout cut through the night."Who's there? Stop right there!"She looked up and saw a man in a security uniform rushing over from a distance, pulling out a stun baton as he moved.Serena immediately shouted, "Help me!"But the man behind her had already lunged, grabbing her forcefully and trying to drag her toward a nearby alley."Let go of me!"Startled, Serena instinctively reached for the pepper spray in her bag.Before she could use it, the security guard was already upon them, swinging the stun baton down hard.The man recoiled in pain, stumbling to the ground, but his eyes remained locked on Serena with an eerie intensity.The security guard stepped protectively in front of her. "Still staring?"He charged forward and rained punches and kicks onto the attacker. The man rolled on the ground, shielding his head before staggering to his feet and fleeing

Serena forced herself to stay calm."I'm the assistant to the CEO of Quade Group. If you dare to lay a finger on me, he'll track you down. You still have a chance to stop this before it's too late."The man let out a mocking laugh. "Oh? A CEO's assistant? Does that mean the big boss of Quade Group values you that much? What, are you his mistress? Have you two done it already? If I get my hands on the Quade CEO's woman, imagine how impressive that'll sound!"His vulgar words sent a wave of disgust through Serena.She spoke coldly, "So, you're the one who sent those harassing messages?""That's right. You're too damn tempting, walking in and out of the complex every day like that. I knew you were trying to seduce me!"His lecherous gaze roamed over her as he sneered. "But tell me—how did you realize I was after you?"Serena clenched her jaw. She didn't want to say anything, but to buy time, she spoke."When that homeless man grabbed me earlier, he kept muttering something. At tha

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

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

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.

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
