"Are you saying you're scared?" Gwen asked."Well, actually, I'm more of a passive person," Serena replied, a faint smile tugging at her lips.She hadn't said much. She was always guarded, and being so open with Gwen was rare.Gwen gently took her hand, her eyes bright. "Serena, you're not only beautiful but also incredibly capable. If you set your mind to it, you can get anything you want. More people envy you than you can imagine. Don't look down on yourself."Serena fell silent for a moment. She had given everything to Justin over the years, pouring her heart out, only to be met with nothing. "Some things won't come your way, no matter how hard you try. And even if you get them, the outcome isn't always good.""But at least you tried. If you never get it, then it's simply not meant to be. But if you give up, you might miss out on a great opportunity." Gwen's expression grew serious. "These are two very different matters."Serena paused, letting her words sink in.Then, with a

Serena spoke softly, "Mr. Quade, I have something to say. Actually…" She hesitated for a moment, gathering her thoughts. On the other end, Wilson gripped his phone tighter as his anxiety grew.Just then, a knock sounded at the door. Sebastian pushed it open. "Mr. Quade," he greeted.Serena also heard the commotion. "Mr. Quade, are you with a client?""No. Sebastian is here to report something," Wilson replied."Then call me back when you're done," Serena said softly."Alright." Wilson ended the call slowly. His handsome face bore a peculiar expression. In truth, he didn't need to hang up. The matter wasn't as important as she was, but he was afraid. Afraid she might tell him not to bother her again. The thought only made him more irritable.Sebastian stood there, his heart pounding, wondering if he should say more. Wilson already looked irritated even though he hadn't said anything.After a long pause, Wilson rubbed his forehead and finally asked while looking at Sebastian, "W

Meanwhile, a strange sense of relief began to settle over her. That act of courage hadn't been as terrifying as she had imagined. Turning toward the cake shop, she started walking when suddenly a van pulled up beside her.Instinctively, Serena turned her head and saw someone on the opposite side holding a flashlight. The harsh beam made her squint, and an unsettling feeling crept over her. "Run!" was the first thought that flashed through her mind.However, as she spun around, a figure pounced on her like a starving wolf. Before she could react, someone clamped a hand over her mouth and dragged her toward the van parked by the roadside. Everything happened so fast. The overpowering smell of sweat and stale smoke filled her nostrils, and her consciousness began to blur.Desperately, she pinched her thigh, forcing herself to stay alert, then hurled her phone hard at her attacker's head. A muffled groan came from behind her. As her phone hit the ground, the grip on her mouth loosen

The night deepened. Wilson arrived at Serena's cake shop, but she was nowhere to be found. He called, but no one answered. Frowning, he tried several more times, but there was still no response. An uneasy feeling crept over him, and he grew increasingly anxious as he repeatedly dialed her number.Suddenly, he heard a faint ring. Following the sound, he discovered a battered phone lying by a narrow alley. At that moment, Wilson's expression turned icy. Serena was in trouble!Instantly, he remembered something and immediately called Kayden, ordering him to search for the human trafficking gang operating in Nocturna. Wilson then sped off, driving straight to the police station. The officers recognized him and led him into a small waiting room.Andrew Ziegler soon arrived. "Mr. Quade, thanks to your tip, we have identified the gang's main hideout. We are planning a sting operation to take them down.""Captain Ziegler, I am here to report that one of my very important friends has gone

"Instead of losing your mind here, why not figure out a way to find her? Justin, I don't have time to deal with your tantrums!" With that, Wilson got into the driver's seat and sped off.…The van was moving fast, rattling over every bump in the road. Serena felt like she was going to throw up.After what felt like forever, the van finally came to a stop. A burly man yanked her out roughly. That was when she realized they had stopped at an abandoned food factory. Wild grass had taken over the place, and several similar vans and buses were parked nearby.Other women were dragged out of the vans. Some were unconscious. The ones who were awake were crying and pleading for help—except for one. A woman in a black jacket was thrashing wildly. The tape over her mouth had come loose, and she was screaming at the top of her lungs. "You bastards! Do you even know who I am? I'm the eldest daughter of the Farrow family! You have no idea what you're getting yourselves into."Let me go right

Serena stared at her. "Because of what?""My… My head hurts," Mollie said.Serena turned to look and was shocked. The back of Mollie's head was covered in sticky, dark blood. No wonder she was so pale. Serena had thought it was just from fear, but it was clear she had lost a lot of blood. Still, considering how much she had bled, the fact that she was still so alert meant she wasn't in immediate danger. "Someone must have hit you on the back of your head. You're bleeding.""I don't remember… I don't even know how I got here…" Mollie curled up inside the cage, tears streaming down her face. She had never suffered like this before. Growing up, she had always been able to avoid trouble just by revealing her identity. Now that she was really in danger, she was falling apart. "Serena, what do we do? They're going to sell us. We'll die in some foreign country…""Don't be scared," Serena reassured her."I just want to go home." Mollie sobbed."Stop crying." Serena tried to comfort h

The bus hadn't been moving for that long when it suddenly braked, and there was a loud rattling as everyone in the cage bumped against one another. Serena hit her head on the metal cage and saw stars.Someone asked anxiously, "What is it? Why's the traffic piling up ahead?""I'll go check it out." Someone opened the door and got out of the bus. Moments later, he returned and grumbled, "Bad news—the expressway up ahead is blocked. They're inspecting vehicles and paying special attention to vans, pick-up trucks, and buses like ours!""No way. Why would the cops suddenly make a fuss about vehicle inspection? They didn't do it before!""I don't think they're cops…" someone demurred."Could the Farrows be behind this?" The hooligans threw dirty looks in Mollie's direction.Mollie's eyes lit up. Justin had come to rescue her! The other women in the cage grew hopeful, too.The chubby guy grimaced at Thomas. "I told you to leave that Farrow woman alone, but you wouldn't listen! What do

Kayden stood before Wilson and reported the latest updates, "Mr. Wilson, we've sealed all the waterways. We're also carrying out a blanket inspection on all moving vehicles on the expressways, but we've yet to find Ms. Judd.""Got it," Wilson replied as he pulled the car up to the side, his cigarette dangling between his lips. The storm in his eyes matched his foul mood.At that moment, his phone rang. He answered it and heard Andrew announce, "We've caught a suspicious vehicle passing through the surveilled area!""I'm on my way." Wilson hung up and sped toward the police precinct.Andrew showed Wilson the latest lead he found. "The van has raised alarms before, and the driver is our suspect. He goes by the nickname 'Whistle', but his real name is Thomas Garcia. I sent my men after the van after we determined the route. If our hunch is correct, Serena should be in that van now.Wilson stared at the footage of Thomas as if the latter were a dead man.Andrew continued, "And have y

The next day, Serena woke up at exactly 6:00 am. When she moved, she suddenly felt something amiss.Her waist was held down by a strong arm, and hot air was coming from behind her; someone was hugging her.After a few seconds of bewilderment, she recalled that Wilson was next to her.She wriggled, and his arm suddenly tightened and turned her around. Her palms landed flat on a warm chest."Why are you topless?" she asked."It's my habit.""What about your bottom…" Serena's hands ventured downward and found pajama pants."I asked Sebastian to deliver my clothes here last night. Also, watch where you're touching."Serena sensed something, and her face burned scarlet. "Are you a rogue, Wilson?""It's normal for men to have an erection in the morning. You're knowledgeable, so you should know this."Serena was quiet. She had heard about this, but this was her first time seeing it. "I'm getting out of bed. It's busy at the store."Releasing her, Wilson watched her slip out of hi

Serena's tongue was turning numb. Wilson grabbed her hand, lifted his shirt, and placed her palm on himself. It felt hard to the touch.Serena wanted to withdraw her hand, but he held her tightly."Don't you like washboard abs? You seemed so interested when you were looking. Why did you chicken out at this moment?"He still remembered that. What a petty man."I need to wake up early tomorrow to go to the store. Cut it off…""Let's keep going a little longer.""Make it quick, then.""Don't you know that you shouldn't rush a man?"Wilson bent over her again, and the temperature in the room rose. Slipping his arms around her waist, he lifted her up.Without anywhere to hold on to, Serena wrapped her legs around his waist. She sensed his erection, and her heart swayed a little.Actually, she could give in to him.Just when she wanted to open her mouth, Wilson suddenly came to a stop."What's the matter?" she asked.Not saying a word, Wilson placed her down and approached the

"If you're afraid to do it, then I'll do it myself," Desiree said.Hearing that, Gary immediately tried to stop her. "Desiree, don't be reckless. You'll be in trouble if things lead back to you.""Don't worry, Dad. I'm not that dumb. I know what I'm doing."…Daily, Serena worked from morning to late night, single-handedly preparing everything before the store's opening hours.Finally, there was a day when she could get home slightly earlier.When she got home and opened the door, she was greeted by a delicious smell wafting from inside. Food was already spread out on the table, and there was even wine.On the floor, Bingo ate canned food from its new bowls. Wilson walked out of the kitchen in a white button-down shirt. The sleeves were rolled up, and part of his arms were exposed. A gentle smile hung on his gorgeous face, and he looked nothing short of a perfect husband."I heard that you haven't eaten yet, so I specially came to cook for you.""Can you cook?" Setting dow

"It's not bad that things turned out this way. They deserve this ending for what they've done. "Justin is ruthless. Previously, he treated you so badly over this woman, but he fell out with her just like that, even throwing her family under the bus along with her," Wilson said sarcastically.Candice and her family were exterminated without the need for him to do anything.Serena looked down, her eyes gleaming calmly. "Yeah, that's just how he is. When he cares about someone, nobody needs to say a thing. But once he lost all interest, he could abandon her emotionlessly without even flinching."To a certain extent, Serena was similar to Candice—both were Justin's pets, which he kept on a whim.The difference was that Justin wanted her back now. But his sincerity, or any lingering hesitation, were irrelevant to Serena now. Serena turned to Wilson. "Did you find all the accomplices in that kidnapping case?" "The scope of this case is far beyond what you imagined. We're dealing wi

When Peter returned, Dorothy was still rooted to the spot in a daze. "Dad—""You—I have no words for you!" Peter was mad and heartbroken at the same time. "What exactly did Desiree tell you? Why did you offend Wilson because of her? This is very dumb of you!"Dorothy pursed her lips. "It's not Desiree's fault. I wanted to stick my neck out for her, and she even told me not to cause trouble—""Are you still speaking up for her at this time?" Peter was truly speechless."You're so silly! If she sincerely didn't want you to cause trouble, she would've stopped you earlier. Instead, she let you pick on Serena while she watched from the sidelines."Dorothy, you still didn't realize that she made you pull the trigger. How did my daughter end up so dumb?"I'm telling you, stay away from Desiree in the future, lest she makes use of you again."Tears rolled down Dorothy's face from his scolding, and she muttered indignantly, "Even if Desiree isn't as kind as I think, Wilson is a jerk, t

Desiree paced over, her gaze fixed on Wilson. "Blame it on me if you must, Wilson. Dorothy offended Serena because of me. You don't have to get mad at her."Looking right into his eyes, she added, "Let's speak in private to solve this problem. Don't make a scene in front of outsiders."Serena sniggered at the mention of outsiders because Desiree was acting as though she was Wilson's rightful girlfriend."So, were you watching the fun from upstairs the whole time when Dorothy was picking on me earlier, Desiree?" she asked.Hearing that, Desiree brushed her gaze over Serena in disgruntlement. "I'm speaking to Wilson. It's not your place to interrupt, Serena."Wilson narrowed his eyes. "Who do you think you are? Are you a noble?"Dumbfounded, Desiree feigned composure and said, "To put it lightly, it's a matter between both of us. But if I put it in a big picture, this is a matter between the Stones and the Quades. Who is Serena to interfere?"She was reminding Wilson that the rela

Dorothy ground out stubbornly, "But I was stating facts! Desiree and Mr. Quade would have been together if Serena hadn't come between them! She's a man-stealer!"Peter's gaze darkened as he eyed his daughter mutinously. Wilson, however, chuckled. "Who told you Desiree and I would be a thing?""Everyone's been saying it!" Dorothy insisted."Everyone? I'll need names," Wilson pointed out coolly. Dorothy stiffened when she heard this and racked her brain for names. Whatever she'd heard about Desiree and Wilson had been through the grapevine, and they were an occasional topic among the heiresses during afternoon tea.However, the rumors and presumptions that Desiree and Wilson were a couple came from Desiree herself.In hindsight, Desiree was always talking about how close she and Wilson were and how he treated her differently than he did other women. She claimed they'd known each other for ages and constantly brought up the debt he owed her family.In short, Desiree made it sound

Serena and Joanna had only just left the backyard when they ran into two men headed in their direction. One was Peter Nielson, Dorothy's father, while the man trailing him was none other than Wilson.Serena's eyes widened in surprise. "What are you doing here?"Wilson leveled a thoughtful look at her before amusement filled his gaze."I could ask you the same thing. What are you doing at the Nielson residence? While we're at it…" He glanced at Dorothy, who resembled a drowned rat as she came up behind Serena. "How did you get into such a curious predicament?"Peter was baffled by Dorothy's soaked and miserable state. "Dory, what on earth did you get up to?""I-I fell in the pool," Dorothy admitted sheepishly. She stomped her foot and glowered at Serena as she whined, "Dad, you won't believe what happened to me! I told this woman, Serena Judd, to come over for a business meeting, but she was rude to me the entire time and deliberately let me fall in the pool!"Peter looked at Sere

Seeing that they'd reached an impasse, Serena whipped out her phone to call the police. Dorothy panicked at the sight of this and immediately ordered the housekeepers to snatch Serena's phone away.The pair of housekeepers earlier moved toward Serena. During the scuffle, Serena's watch unclasped and cluttered to the ground.She was about to pick it up when Dorothy beat her to it. With lightning speed, she scooped the watch into her palm and mocked, "Goodness, what an expensive watch! I doubt someone of your level could afford it. Where'd you steal it from?"Joanna bit out angrily, "Serena's boyfriend got it for her!""Boyfriend? Is that what you've been telling everyone, Serena? You should be ashamed. You know as well as I do how you and your boyfriend became a thing!" Dorothy sneered.Serena finally understood Dorothy's hostility. "Do you have a problem with me dating Wilson?"Joanna's eyes widened in disbelief. "Goodness, you have a crush on Mr. Quade?""Shut up! I'm not so sh
