"Mrs. Farrow Senior. Mrs. Farrow."Jenna shot Serena a withering glare but offered only a curt nod in response. In stark contrast, Beatrice's face lit up with delight. "Rina, my dear! Come here. Let me take a good look at you!"Serena walked over and was immediately pulled to sit by the bedside, Beatrice's hands clasping hers gently."It's been almost a year since I last saw you. You've lost weight, haven't you?" Beatrice turned to Jenna and instructed, "Tell Leyla to make some bagels and beef ribs for Rina. She needs to eat more and put on some weight."Jenna's expression soured, her lips twitching as though she wanted to object. But before she could speak, Beatrice coughed sharply, cutting her off. With a reluctant sigh, she stood and left the room.Serena gently patted Beatrice's back. "Mrs. Farrow Senior, why are you sick again?""Oh, it's nothing—just old age catching up with me. It's nothing to worry about. Seeing you here has already made me feel a hundred times better.

After Beatrice fell asleep, Serena and Justin left the room. As soon as the door closed, Serena pulled her hand free from Justin's grasp without hesitation.His gaze darkened. "What is it? Do I disgust you that much?""The act is over. Now that Mrs. Farrow Senior is asleep, there's no need to keep pretending," she said, turning to head downstairs."Where are you going?" Justin asked while following closely."Home," Serena replied curtly. "This late? You're really going back now?" Justin asked."That's none of your concern." Serena's steps were decisive.Downstairs, Leyla Watson stood holding a tray with bagels and beef ribs. Sitting on the couch with a Pomeranian in her lap, Jenna cast Serena a mocking glance. "These are for you. Mrs. Farrow Senior asked for them. Eat up.""No need, Mrs. Farrow. I already had dinner," Serena replied politely.Jenna scoffed. "Suit yourself. You think I want an ingrate to stay in my house?""If it weren't for Mrs. Farrow Senior, I wouldn't h

Justin slammed his fist against the side of his Maybach. Pain shot through his hand.Inside the Bentley, Serena sat in the passenger seat, dabbing at her rain-soaked clothes with a handful of tissues. After a brief drive, Wilson pulled over unexpectedly. He reached into the back seat and retrieved a soft blanket before handing it to her. "Use this.""Thanks." Serena accepted the blanket and began drying her hair. When she finally set it aside, she noticed the car hadn't moved. Turning her head, she found Wilson resting one hand on the steering wheel, watching her with an air of casual amusement. She froze mid-motion. "Mr. Quade?""Serena, you're not quite like the rumors suggest," he said, his voice laced with humor. "They say you're hopelessly in love with Justin. But looking at you now, you've cut ties pretty cleanly."Serena's gaze dropped. "I'm still human." She had her pride and limits, and Justin had crossed them all.Wilson chuckled. "True. You're human. Justin? Maybe n

At the Farrow residence, Justin stepped out of the shower, the water finally easing the simmering frustration that had been building within him. His phone buzzed. Without thinking, he picked it up. On the other end, Candice's soft, almost pleading voice came through. "Justin, I called earlier. Why didn't you answer?""I was busy," Justin replied coldly."How's Mrs. Farrow Senior doing?" Candice asked, her tone laced with concern. "Maybe I should bring something over tomorrow and check on her." Justin pulled out a cigarette, placing it between his lips, before lowering his head to light it with a lighter. "There's no need. She wanted to see Serena, and after seeing her today, she's doing much better."Silence stretched on the other end. Before Justin could say anything, Candice's quiet sobs broke through. "Justin, does Mrs. Farrow Senior not like me? Your mom and your sister already don't. And now your grandma doesn't like me either. What did I do wrong?"Her crying made his t

The next day was the weekend. Serena had planned to try on the dresses with Wilson, but an unexpected matter required him to fly overseas that morning. He called to assure her that everything had been arranged with the person in charge, and all she needed to do was show up. Coincidentally, Lauren came by to ask her out for some shopping, so Serena decided to bring her along.The person assigned to assist her was Monique Olston, a mixed-race woman renowned in the fashion industry. Not only was she the brand's agent in Nocturna, but she also owned a prominent fashion magazine company that had featured countless celebrities and artists. The moment Monique saw Serena, she exclaimed, "Ms. Judd, you're stunning! You outshine most actresses I've worked with!"Serena responded with a modest smile, but Lauren beamed with pride. "Well, what can I say? My dear Serena is just that gorgeous. As her best friend, I'm honored to bask in her glow."Serena sighed helplessly, but Lauren leaned in,

Serena turned to leave, but Shawn followed closely behind. "Serena, you're damaged goods now. After all those years with Justin, you walked away with nothing. Come with me, and I'll pay you 30 thousand dollars a month.""Get lost!" Serena snapped."50 thousand, then? Or do you think you're worth a hundred?" His smirk widened as he leaned closer, his voice dripping with mockery. "Fine, a hundred it is. But I'll expect something a little… spicier. Think you can handle that?"A sharp slap echoed through the room as Serena's hand connected with his face. "I'm warning you—stay away from me! There are cameras here, and if you don't leave now, I'll report you for harassment!"Shawn's expression darkened, a sinister glint in his eyes. "Feisty, aren't you? You think I'm scared of that?"He grabbed her wrist, his grip tightening menacingly. Before he could make another move, a commanding voice cut through the tension. "What do you think you're doing?" Lauren appeared, dressed in a sleek b

Seeing Justin like this, a wave of insecurity washed over Candice as panic flickered in her gaze. She clung to him and said with false innocence, "Wasn't that Serena just now? Being pretty must have its perks. It's one thing for Mr. Quade to back her up, but now it looks like she's got herself a new admirer, too."When Justin made no reply, Candice gripped his hand and asked, "Are you alright, Justin?""I'm fine. We should get out of the car," he said hoarsely.Candice obediently stepped out of the vehicle and entered the boutique with him. Monique approached them and asked, "Now there's a surprising face. What brings you here today, Mr. Farrow?""My girlfriend needs a new dress," Justin said as he nudged Candice forward.Monique appraised Candice briefly before dishing out a few compliments. After that, she led the latter to the private fitting room. The boutique housed several large private fitting rooms, each manned by a small team of attendants.Justin did not follow Candice

Candice stopped short when Justin, who was on the phone, shushed her with a finger. He listened to what the person on the other line had to say, then replied warmly, "Alright, I'll go over in a bit."After ending the call, he turned to look at Candice. He frowned at the dress she was wearing and said, "Change into something else. That looks terrible on you."Candice was so furious she could have combusted on the spot.…When they left the boutique, Justin did not go home but instead went to a high-end restaurant.Baffled, Candice asked, "What are we doing here, Justin?""My cousin's home, and my family is throwing him a homecoming party here. I'll have Zane drop you home," Justin explained.Candice knew Jenna didn't like her very much, so she did not insist on staying.At that moment, Jessica exited the restaurant. She was dressed in a professional-looking ensemble, and her eyes glittered when she saw Justin. "Mr. Farrow! Your mother and the rest of your family have settled int

"We're going out for lunch. Would you like to join us?" Serena invited."Sure," Mollie accepted the invitation.However, her cellphone suddenly started ringing when she was about to leave with Serena. Upon seeing the word "Mom" flashing on the screen, she felt her head throbbing painfully.She picked up the call, and Jenna complained angrily, "Candice is hospitalized again!""Let her be. What has that got to do with me?""Yes, she's not related to you, but the baby in her womb is. Candice is in the same hospital as you. "Maisie said that she's emotionally unstable and yelling at everyone now. Hurry over to her ward and calm her down."Mollie merely felt exhausted at the idea. "I'm… not free now.""What's keeping you busy? Your ward is so close to hers. Go over and check what her problem is."Mollie looked helpless and unwilling, but she couldn't tell Jenna that she had sneaked out of the hospital. Hence, she agreed, "Okay. I must have owed her, and this is karma getting b

Serena gathered herself and returned to her dessert store, where she found Willow, Lauren, and Joseph inside. Even Violet and Isaac were there."Aren't you going to rest longer, Serena?" Willow asked."I've rested enough, and I feel fine now. The store will open soon, and I have to oversee everything."Serena checked the equipment in the store and brought Isaac to visit the kitchen.Isaac mentioned that he had guided a few pastry chefs before, and their skills were amazing. To this, Serena expressed that she'd welcome them onboard.She already worked things out with store employees and suppliers, and the process was finalized as well. Everything was going smoothly.A smile spread across Serena's face. "It's been hard on everyone recently. Today's lunch is on me.""I won't refuse since Ms. Judd has offered. I want to have seafood for lunch!" Lauren said.Joseph was equally excited. "I'd like to have lobster!"Lauren rolled her eyes at him. "You're asking for too much!""But I'

Candice was seated on the couch, criticizing her employees harshly. Upon hearing some sounds behind her, she spun her head around in annoyance."Didn't you see the sign hanging outside? We're not open for business today—"She stopped mid-sentence at the sight of Serena's stoic face, and her expression fell. "What are you doing here? You're not welcome in my store!""Here you are." A cold snigger tinged the edge of Serena's lips, and Candice panicked upon seeing it.Yesterday, Jenna had surveillance cameras installed in her villa. Every move she made was watched by Jenna, and it was unbearable for her.She wanted to get out of the house for a stroll but ran into the person she hated the most instead. This was so annoying!A vicious light gleamed past Candice's eyes as she silently cursed Thomas. How could he allow Serena to make it back safely?Serena walked in with her handbag and stopped in front of her. "I have questions for you.""I don't have time for you now.""You know

After returning home, Serena rested for a day. Then, she gave Mollie a call, asking for Candice.Mollie was eating fruits as she replied, "Candice? Why are you looking for her? She's resting and getting ready for the delivery of the baby. "This baby is very important to my mother… but I don't know what's on her mind and why she insists on keeping Candice around."Mollie sighed, and Serena said, "I'd like to meet her.""I'm not sure whether you can meet her or not, but I'd advise you not to meet her now because she is pregnant. "If she encounters an accident, my mother won't let you off. You know how she is. She can be quite a pain to deal with."Mollie added in a whisper, "Why are you only concerned about Candice? You didn't even ask how I'm doing when I'm severely injured.""I heard about it. You hurt your brain and lost some memories.""Why didn't you visit me, then?"A few seconds passed by in silence before Serena answered, "I think… we're not that close. It seems a litt

"I… don't understand what you mean," Lila uttered.What did Damian mean by this? Shouldn't he have warned her, asking her to stay away from Justin and not show up in front of him again?Damian approached her, grinning softly. "Let's make a deal, Lila."…Justin was alone in the private room for a while until Damian returned."Where's Lila? Tell her to come in," Justin said casually."I don't think she's coming.""What's happened?""Beats me. I ran into her outside and saw her going into the lounge in a corner. She looks upset. I think she's in some kind of trouble."Damian took a sip of water. "Are you going to check on her, Justin?"Justin paused for a second before rising to his feet. "I'll take a look," he said and went out.The lounge wasn't far, and the door was slightly ajar when he arrived. Just when he wanted to enter, he heard Lila speaking.Her voice was hushed, and she sounded like she was crying. "I'm really out of wits. Mom is in the hospital, waiting for the m

Damian and Justin eased into casual conversation. As the latter's expression softened, he leaned into the couch and asked, "How's the studio coming along?""It's alright. We're making good progress," Damian answered."Hmm… If I remember correctly, you majored in finance while you were abroad, right?" Justin lit a cigarette. "Why did you switch to information technology after that?""I have no interest in finance." Damian lowered his gaze, hiding the dark look that flashed in his eyes. "Nor any talent, for that matter.""Too bad. You're a bright kid. If you'd followed through with finance, you could manage Farrow Corporation with me," Justin pointed out."Nah, you run a tight ship at Farrow Corporation, and that's good enough," Damian said with a courteous smile. "I'm going to use the restroom."He left the lounge, his gaze devoid of warmth. He had only just exited the restroom when he heard voices coming from the adjacent stairwell.Lila was talking to a woman with heavy makeup.

Lara pointed out, "From the looks of it, Thomas is quite serious about you. You have nothing to worry about. Focus on the baby, and we'll carry on with our plan.""We may have to reconsider our options," Candice said."What, did you chicken out?" Lara asked."Mom, even if Thomas doesn't rat me out, Justin is already suspicious of me. He's not stupid. Our plan won't be feasible if he looks into this and discovers my involvement."Besides, we still have to worry about Mollie!" Candice gritted her teeth. "Her memory loss is only temporary, and I'll be doomed if she starts recalling the events before the kidnapping!"Lara pressed, "So what do you plan to do next?""We'll need a change of plans… My priority now is to get away from the Farrows," Candice replied. When she hung up on Lara, a plan began to form in her mind.…Justin drove to the club, where the manager led him into a private lounge. Without prompting, the manager had Lila attend to Justin.Lila's eyes lit up when she s

Justin called Zane immediately after he left the hospital and had the latter look into Candice's relationship with Thomas. He wasn't so stupid as to believe Wilson had shown up at the hospital for nothing.Wilson must have discovered that there was more to Candice and Thomas than she claimed. Ten to one, she had something to do with the trafficking case.Justin was pulled out of his thoughts when his phone rang. Seeing Jenna's name flashing on the screen, he answered the call. "Mom, if you're calling me so you can speak up for Candice, don't bother."Jenna was as overbearing as usual as she said, "I know you don't like Candice and that there is a good chance she was involved in the abduction, but the child she's carrying will be our utmost priority. Do you understand?""And what if she was part of the abduction?" Justin asked."Then you'll have to wait until after she's delivered the baby before you do anything to her," Jenna said matter-of-factly.A dull ache worked its way to J

Something like wicked amusement colored Wilson's expression as he said, "Congratulations on the baby, Mr. Farrow."After that, he spun and left the room with Kayden. He had planned on exposing Candice's affair with Thomas but changed his mind when he saw how protective Jenna and Justin had been over Candice's baby.He decided to wait until the Farrows realized Candice was not carrying their heir, and all their effort to protect her had been wasted. That would be more fun.As for Candice, Wilson had no qualms about letting her enjoy this temporary peace. When the time was right, he would make her pay.…Like a deflated balloon, Candice nearly collapsed with relief when Wilson left the room. She sobbed, "He's terrifying!"Jenna did not take her eyes off Candice's baby bump. "Stop wallowing on the ground. Get up and have the baby checked! We need to know if the baby's alright!""Okay." Candice got to her feet and glanced at Justin. Her cheeks flushed as she said, "Thank you for def
