Casper immediately denied, "We're not friends. I've only met John a few times."In the face of Wilson's power, Casper didn't waste a second to cut off ties with John.Wilson narrowed his eyes. "If that's true, you better show me how much you mean it."He took a drag and added, "This incident happened on your ship, so you should give me a satisfactory resolution.""Of course! Don't worry about it, Mr. Quade." Casper made a gesture, and two men entered the room to drag John out.Before they left, Joseph went over and kicked him a few more times.Serena said softly, "Laurie, where's Aaron?"When she heard this, the look on Lauren's face became weird, and she pulled the jacket closer around her shoulders. "I don't know…"Turning to Wilson, she asked, "Mr. Quade, will you help me to look for Aaron? I'll be forever grateful to you and even your family."Wilson raised his brows. "Are you sincere right now or not? You're saying it with such a tight face that it's scary."Despite his

"He's at the police station now," Wilson replied."Okay… Thanks," said Serena.A few seconds passed by in silence before Wilson said, "You don't need to thank me, Serena. I just don't want you to think that I'm a bad person."For a moment, Serena was stumped for words. She wasn't sure if she heard it right, but she sensed a trace of humility in Wilson's voice.After hanging up, she soon received another call. This time, it was from Joseph. "Serena, are you girls back home safely?""We're home. What about you? Did you return home?""I'm still out. Damn, I couldn't stop myself and gave Aaron a beating while sending him to the police station earlier. He's a scumbag!"Joseph continued in a huff, "He looks like a decent man, but nothing about his behavior is decent. How could he pimp his girlfriend to another man? "If I hadn't sensed something amiss and followed after them, it would be the end of Lauren, the fierce tigress.""I heard from Lauren that you saved her at the critica

By the time Serena and Lauren reached Aaron's company, Joseph was already at the entrance waiting for them.Not a strand of Joseph's hair was out of place as he completed the look with the latest leather jacket from Gucci and boots. Holding a pair of sunnies in his hands, he leaned lazily against his car, looking perfectly like a Casanova out of a portrait."I've been waiting since forever. Hey, you look good. You were a crybaby last night, and I thought you'd never pick yourself up again. Who would have thought that you have a rather strong recovery system?""You're the crybaby!" Lauren rolled her eyes at him.Then, she muttered, "Thank you for last night. You saved me once, so let me know if you need any help from me in the future.""Looks like you're not an ingrate." Joseph beamed."Aaron Zimmers is still locked up. While he's not here, let's make a scene at his company!""Let's go!"Both of them marched into Zimmers Corporation aggressively. Trailing behind, Serena was sudd

However, the situation wasn't any better for Aaron after his release. Since John went to jail, their agreed investment washed down the drain, leaving Zimmers Corporation hanging by a thread.Afterward, for unknown reasons, their original partners gradually pulled out one after another. This led to Zimmers Corporation crumbling in one day. They announced bankruptcy. Their creditors and landlord caused Aaron hell, pressing him for payment.When Lauren heard about this, she cursed loudly, "He deserves this!""Aaron already received his retribution. Lauren, don't hate him anymore. He's not worth your attention," Serena said."I'm not giving him any of my attention.""Then, why are you checking the news on Zimmers Corporation every day?"Quietly, Lauren sighed and plopped onto the bed. "He's my first love, and it ended like this. This is horrible."She reckoned that she would need some time to get over it completely."Rina, both of us are jobless now. I'll have to stay at your pla

Candice's face turned livid from Lauren's insult. "That's nonsense! I'm Justin's girlfriend!""Girlfriend? Justin is Rina's little bootlicker now. What kind of girlfriend are you?"Jenna shouted sternly, "Lauren Steele, watch your manners!"Although she disliked Candice, Lauren's insult toward Candice was just as good as insulting her.Lauren rolled her eyes. "I may not have manners, but I can't be compared to you. You flaunted the tramp who got pregnant out of wedlock to us. You sure have higher moral standards than me.""You—""Also, get your eyes checked when you have the time, Mrs. Farrow. You didn't appreciate Rina when she's such a fine woman. Instead, you took this bitch as treasure. If word of this gets out, the upper-class ladies will make a joke out of your tastes."Lauren was on fire as she continued blasting, "Like mother, like son. Both of you took a stone and regarded it as gold. "I'll offer you some advice since I feel like doing a good deed today. Justin the je

"Schedule her for an abortion," Justin instructed."W-What?" Candice thought she had heard him wrongly.Even the doctor was stunned. "Mr. Farrow, are you sure?""Do you have hearing problems? Abort the baby right now!""No, I don't want an abortion!" Blood drained from Candice's face as she staggered backward. "Justin, this is your baby. You can't do this!"She couldn't lose the baby. Without this baby, she would lose everything. Turning around, she wanted to run but was dragged back by Justin's men at the door."My baby?" Justin rose to his feet, looking as though he had heard something amusing.He grabbed her cheeks with a brute force. "I don't remember allowing you to have my baby. It shouldn't have existed because you got it through a fucking plot!""No… You can't do this…""Take her to the operation room." Justin's voice was icy. "If you don't want to do this, I don't mind resorting to more brutal methods."A shiver ran down Candice's spine, and tears rolled down her che

Willow knocked off from work early and went to Serena's apartment with the lamb chops she just bought. There, she found Serena alone."Where's Lauren? Isn't she staying with you for the time being?""She's having dinner with Joseph tonight.""Why didn't you join them?"Serena giggled. "Lauren alone is too much for me to handle. If Joseph joins the party as well, I'm afraid I can't control them at all."They were like two horses who had run amok from their reins."I'd like to have dinner at your place tonight. What do you think of lamb chops?""That sounds amazing." Serena walked over and took the lamb chops from her hands.She rubbed spices on the meat, massaged them a little, and placed them in the fridge to marinate.More than an hour later, she prepared two more side dishes. Then, she took out the marinated lamb chops and transferred them into the oven.Soon, a delicious smell wafted in the apartment. The lamb chops sizzled in grease when they were out of the oven. Then,

The sound of a slap rang across the room as Ronald gave Willow a tight slap. Her fair face instantly swelled.Hearing the commotion, Carmen rushed down from upstairs, "Honey, let's talk things out. Why did you hit her?""Get back!" Ronald barked, and Carmen quickly returned upstairs.All of a sudden, Willow thought that the situation was rather amusing.Ronald pointed a finger at her. "You know why the marriage agreement fell through with the Jones family. It's all because you acted inappropriately. "Mrs. Jones called and said that they want a conservative woman, not an odd one! What did you tell Leonard? Why did he think that you're interested in women?"Willow's expression turned a little indifferent. "Does it matter?""No, it doesn't matter anymore since the marriage agreement is already ruined." Ronald snorted and chuckled coldly, unbuckling his belt."I didn't want to do it, actually, but you keep testing me. Willow, as my daughter, you should sacrifice for me and the Q

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
