"Who are you calling lackeys?" Joseph was infuriated. "I'm on good terms with Serena. Can't you set your prejudices aside and speak nicely with me?"Ignoring him, Lauren continued playing drinking games with the guys next to her. She lost, so she picked up her drink and finished it.The men clapped and refilled her glass, their gazes running over her stunning figure. Impatience flashed over Joseph's face. "Get out of here, both of you. Don't have any designs on her."The guys were a little disgruntled, but they noticed that Joseph was dressed in branded goods and even had a streak of hair dyed in blue in front. He looked exactly like a scion from a wealthy and influential family.After consideration, the two guys decided to leave, which made Lauren mad. "What are you doing? Who's going to drink with me now that they're gone?""Stop drinking. Didn't you see that the guys were eyeing you like you're a prey? They're waiting until you're drunk so they can take advantage of you."

Joseph was silent for a few seconds before picking up the call."Lauren, I'm at the club you mentioned. Where are you?" Aaron's voice echoed from the other end of the line."She's drunk, and we're at the entrance now.""Who are you?""I'm your Daddy!" Joseph hung up in frustration and turned to Lauren who was mumbling on the seat.When he placed his ear closer, he realized that she was cursing at someone, and he was speechless.Soon, Aaron found them. Seeing Joseph, he was a little surprised. "It's you?"The Collinsworths were a prestigious family in Nocturna. Even though Joseph was always fooling around, Aaron could remember him."I bumped into her, and she's completely wasted. Even if I'm heartless, I can't leave her alone inside."The look on Aaron's face turned dark. He paced to the backseat and helped Lauren out of the car.Lauren was in a daze, but when she saw Aaron, she pushed and struggled against him. "What are you doing here? Go to another woman. You love it when

For a few seconds, Beatrice said nothing. "I don't know, either. Justin, you should know better than anyone else what Serena's personality is like."Justin's eyes wavered, and he muttered, "You're right."When the call ended, the traffic light turned red. Seated in the driver's seat, Justin felt a rush of emotions through his chest.Serena appeared cold on the outside, but she was warm on the inside. Kind and soft-hearted, she was always considerate of others.At the same time, she was stubborn and had a strong pride. Once she made up her mind, she would never turn back.So, she was never coming back to him.Intense despair sprawled over him, and his phone rang at this time.A deep voice said, "Mr. Farrow, this is information about Wilson Quade. We found out that he's been sending men to investigate Desiree's kidnapping, and they've caught the man." "Got it." Justin hung up, his eyes emotionless.Was Wilson trying to win Serena over by pretending to be a gentle and caring man

Suddenly, a mischievous voice next to Serena said, "What's on your mind? You look absolutely peeved. Are you going to kill someone?" Serena turned to the source of the voice and saw Wilson, clad in a dark-colored suit, standing next to her bench. His mesmerizing eyes were locked on her, and a small trace of amusement was visible in them.Slowly, Serena rose to her feet. "I'm sorry, Mr. Quade.""Why are you apologizing?""I lost my cool with Desiree earlier and left just like that, leaving you to clear up the mess."Wilson paced toward her. "If that's the case, I should be the one to apologize.""What do you mean?""I'm the reason Desiree is mean to you. If it wasn't because of me, you wouldn't have to deal with her attitude." Wilson smiled softly. "Therefore, it's only fair that I take care of the situation after you lose your temper.""Did Desiree make things difficult for you?""No. She lost her memories, not her mind. She's not going to pick a bone with me."He was righ

Since Wilson already rejected Aaron, Serena thought that she shouldn't interfere anymore."Lauren told me that you have an extraordinary relationship with Justin as well. Will you be the middleman and introduce him to me?" Aaron asked instead.Serena was surprised, and her voice turned a few notches colder. "I have nothing to do with Farrow Corporation anymore. This is even more out of the question.""I got it. Sorry, that was rude of me."Aaron hung up and set down his cellphone, his eyes turning gloomy.Despite claiming that she cared a lot about Lauren, Serena didn't want to help out with anything. Then, she shouldn't blame him for what would happen next.Aaron turned to Lauren, who was slowly waking up on the bed."How long was I asleep?""More than five hours now. Lauren, let's go somewhere on a trip in two days.""A trip?" Lauren was surprised. "But your company—""Work has been suffocating me recently, and I'm getting tired. Let's take a break elsewhere and see what ha

The car sped all the way until it finally reached an abandoned pier, where there was no one around. The weeds had taken over the land, and a chilly breeze ruffled past.Serena tightened her jacket around herself. "Why did you bring me here?""You must be familiar with that car, aren't you?" Justin pointed with his finger, and Serena's gaze followed its direction. He was pointing at a black Range Rover. Although Wilson rarely used this car, she immediately recognized it as his.Was Wilson really here? What was he doing here?All of a sudden, she had a bad premonition.Justin led her to an abandoned warehouse at the pier. Before they even got close, they heard a man's shrilling cry. He sounded to be in excruciating pain, as though he was tortured.Anxiety struck Serena, and she suddenly had the urge to run. However, Justin held her wrist. "Are you afraid of him, Serena?""I'm not.""Then, why don't you go in?" Justin looked into her eyes. "Serena, we're already here. Just one

With vigilance and wariness in her eyes, Serena appeared as though she was looking at a monster, and Wilson felt a sharp tug in his chest.Serena stumbled out, continuing to retch as her mind was filled with the scene in the warehouse.Blood… The floor was covered in blood. The deepest scar in her memory was ripped open again.She recalled the criminal who stabbed her father to death. His menacing face was smiling, filled with bloodthirsty brutality. Slowly, that face merged with Wilson's."Serena," someone called next to her.Lifting her head, she saw Wilson coming over. She met his eyes but quickly looked away."I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come here. I-I didn't see anything—" She began stuttering incoherently, turning around to flee helplessly.Justin pulled her into his arms and glowered deeply at Wilson with a trace of glee in his eyes."Can't you see that Serena is terrified of you? Stay away from her, Wilson," he warned and led Serena toward his Maybach.He settled her

The car swerved dangerously and left a mark on the road before nearly crashing into the guardrail. Justin had no choice but to slam on the brakes.Serena threw the door open and got out immediately.Justin quickly followed. "Serena, where are you going?"Serena suddenly turned around and landed a slap on his face. Her whole body trembled. "Are you happy now?"A dark glint flashed in Justin's eyes before he grabbed her wrist. "If you want to hit me, go ahead. As long as it makes you feel better, Serena, hit me until you've had enough!""Go away!" Serena struggled to break free, but Justin pulled her into his arms."I'm sorry. I know this will hurt you, but I just wanted you to see the truth. Wilson isn't the right person for you. I am."Serena, let's start over. We were so good together. Isn't it a shame to end things like this? Just give me another chance."Her resistance gradually weakened. Justin felt a flicker of hope and loosened his grip, looking into her eyes. However, al

Serena remembered now. Marcus was born out of David's second marriage.Marcus wheeled the birthday cake toward David. He stopped beside David and grinned. "Happy birthday, Dad! May you have a long and healthy life ahead of you!""Looks like you've pulled yourself together, Marcus," David praised, smiling. He'd never smiled like that when Jacob was around.David paid no mind to Jacob's darkened expression as he pulled Marcus closer and launched into introductions. "Everyone, this is Marcus. He's been majoring in finance abroad and flew home especially for my birthday today!"A few guests at the table recognized Marcus. "Goodness, it's Marcus! I haven't seen him in years! He sure looks different now.""Yes, he looks a lot like a younger Mr. David."Jacob lifted his gaze. "Dad, why didn't you tell me Marcus was coming home today?"David's smile slipped. "You should have known he was coming home, Jacob. You're the older brother, so don't go blaming me for not keeping you up to date

A loud cough suddenly sounded behind Jacob and the others. David was making his way down the stairs with Natasha's help."Mr. Smith," Wilson greeted.A shadow fell over David's face. "Wilson, I wasn't expecting you to come.""It's your birthday today, Mr. Smith. It's only right that I come over and celebrate with you out of respect, wouldn't you say?" Wilson said congenially. He snaked an arm around Serena's shoulders as he approached David. "Mr. Smith, allow me to introduce my girlfriend, Serena Judd."David made a noise of approval. "She's got a decent face and build, that much I'll say. You got lucky, Wilson.""Oh, my luck with the ladies is nothing compared to yours, Mr. Smith." Wilson grinned.Beside David, Natasha looked a little uneasy. She clutched David's arm and asked, "Would you like to sit, Mr. Smith?""Bring me to the couch so I may catch my breath."Natasha did as she was told and helped David to the couch, whereupon they sat.Jacob and Wilson sauntered to one si

Serena wished she could sew Wilson's mouth shut. He helped her put on her clothes and said, "We're going to the Smith residence tonight. It's Jacob's father's birthday."Serena considered her plans for the day. The patisserie was doing all right recently, and she had nothing urgent to take care of. As such, she agreed to be Wilson's plus-one.…Serena and Wilson arrived downstairs to find that Elsa had already prepared a meal for them. Under Elsa's curious and meaningful gaze, Serena finished her food and headed out with Wilson.They dropped by an upscale women's boutique. Serena was about to leave after picking out a dress when Wilson grabbed her wrist. "You may as well pick out a few more outfits now that we're here. With that killer figure of yours, you'll look good in anything."It was still early, so Serena decided to stay and shop a little while longer. It would have been foolish of her to decline Wilson's generous offer of new clothes. She tried on a dozen outfits, and Wils

Waking up late the next day, Serena's eyes slowly blinked open, her thoughts still hazy and unfocused. She stared at the blackout curtains that had been drawn over the window, and the memories from last night flashed through her mind.As the hand on her side gently shifted, a voice rumbled, "Are you up?"Serena hummed in response, her throat a little dry. Last night had been wild; she'd behaved nothing like her usual self. She blushed slightly at the thought.Wilson gently pinched the soft flesh of her waist and kissed her. "Lie in for a bit."With that, he lifted the blanket and got out of bed. The soft glow of the bedside lamp illuminated the room a second later, and he handed Serena a glass of water. "To quench your thirst."Wilson's tone was warm and mild, but the way his alluring eyes fixed on Serena turned his sentence into a double entendre. Diffident, she took the glass from him and had a few gulps of water.Wilson then set the glass down and began putting on his clothes.

Wilson brought Serena back to his villa.Serena was greeted by the feast on the table when she entered the door and noted her favorite dishes among the food. Wilson explained, "When I came home earlier, I told Elsa to make dinner. We'll be eating here tonight."Serena nodded. She took a seat at the table, only to see Elsa Rosenburg bustling around to tend to her needs. She served Serena soup, brought her a wine glass, and even warmly asked Serena if she could have cold drinks.Wilson narrowed his eyes from across the table. "Elsa, if you'd like to take a look at my girlfriend, you may do so openly without buzzing around her like a bee."An awkward chuckle escaped Elsa. Oh, well, so much for being subtle. But could Wilson blame her? He'd only ever brought men home, and this was the first time he'd brought a woman over—and she was his girlfriend, no less!It was a rare sight for Elsa, indeed. Before this, she thought Wilson and Jacob were dating.Elsa stared at Serena for a moment,

Damian's eyes darkened. He strode over to Wilson. "Mr. Quade."Wilson appraised him from head to toe. "What is your purpose of getting close to Serena?"Damian looked baffled. "I've known Serena for years, and we've always been on good terms. What do you mean by that question, Mr. Quade?""The next time you act dumb and naïve, try to be more convincing. Who are you trying to fool when you can't even keep the scheming look out of your eyes?" Wilson drawled.Damian froze, then flashed Wilson a smile. "I don't know what you're talking about, Mr. Quade. Serena may be your girlfriend, but she has the freedom to be friends with whomever she wants."Wilson took a drag of his cigarette. "You sabotaged the security camera at Serena's place previously, didn't you?"Damian's smile vanished.Contempt gleamed in Wilson's narrowed eyes as he added, "Stay in line if you don't want Serena to find out just how despicable you are. I don't want to see you anywhere near Serena after this."With a

Wilson leaned into his seat and waved at Jillian through the screen as he said, "How is that you look younger since the last time we met, Madam Gallagher? And you look so fabulous and festive in that jacket, too. How will anyone tell you and an 18-year-old young woman apart?""You and your nonsense." Jillian laughed at the compliments. She gave him a meaningful look. "Do you know who got me this jacket?""Your old sweetheart?""Piss off!" Jillian snapped. "Serena got me the jacket."Surprise flickered in Wilson's eyes. He chuckled and said, "My mistake. So, it was my sweetheart who got you the jacket. How nice and generous of her; she is far better than your granddaughter. Did you reward her?""Reward her all you like when you get home." Jillian held up her phone and scoffed. "You should know you're lucky to have tricked a lovely young lady like her into falling for you."Trevor was confused. "Wait, are you familiar with Serena, too?""Yes. Our paths crossed somehow, and we beca

"Did you come to talk to me about the shop?" Jillian waved her hand dismissively. "I already told you, you get to call the shots when it comes to the patisserie. You don't have to report back to me on every little thing. Just give me my share of the profits every year."Serena said warmly, "I didn't come to talk to you about work. I just wanted to see you."Jillian went still. "What's there to see? I'm just a little old lady, and we aren't even close.""You did me a huge favor, Madam Gallagher. Visiting you is part for the course." Serena produced the gift bag and said, "I went shopping today and saw this. I thought it'd suit you and took the liberty of getting it for you. Try it on."Jillian glanced at the item in the gift bag. The style and color were to her liking, indeed. "I appreciate the gift. Leave it there.""Perhaps you should try it on first," Serena suggested, taking out the jacket and holding it up. She gently tugged on Jillian's arm and prompted, "Come on, Madam Galla

Jenna narrowed her eyes at Willow. "Your last name is Quade? What's your relationship with Wilson Quade?""He's my older cousin," Willow answered.Jenna's expression turned stormy when she heard this. She despised the Quade family.At that moment, Serena returned with the retail assistant. She had paid for Jillian's present and was ready to leave when Willow clutched her arm. "Help me pick something out."Serena nodded and began looking around the boutique with Willow.Jenna stared daggers at the two young ladies, her mood growing fouler by the second. She said scathingly, "They say birds of a feather flock together. I bet Willow is just as bad as Serena. Did you smell the smoke on her when she walked past us earlier? She must have been smoking outside before she entered the boutique!"Kelly looked offended. "Smoking doesn't mean anything. I was a smoker when I was young, too." She used to be a photographer and picked up smoking due to the stressful nature of her job. She only qu
