Wilson scoffed. "You said I was sharp-tongued, yet you're the first to draw blood."Serena glared at him. "You know I was right."A small smile curved Wilson's lips as he agreed, "You described me perfectly."The S-class continued down the road and pulled up outside Serena's patisserie. Wilson unfastened her seatbelt for her but did not move from the driver's seat. She stared at him questioningly. "Don't you want to take a look at my patisserie?""No." He crossed his arms and drawled, "Apparently, I'm sharp-tongued and petty. I wouldn't want to offend any of your customers and cause you to lose business."Serean eyed him speechlessly. She should have known he would hold that remark against her. She said, "Wait here.""Oh, am I supposed to do as you ask? Where's my agency?" Wilson countered wryly."Just stay put, will you?" Serena turned to enter her patisserie after that. When she returned, she was amused to find Wilson's car still parked in the same spot. Nonetheless, she kept

Desiree sat across from Dorothy, sipping coffee as a faint smile curved her lips. "You shouldn't have to go to such trouble for my private affairs and play the bad guy, Dorothy.""Bad guy? Far from it! I'm simply standing up for what is right. You'd be dating Wilson by now if it weren't for Serena. Everyone in our circle knows you and Wilson have been friends since childhood."Also, he owes your family a life debt." Dorothy frowned. "But I'm surprised Wilson, of all people, would fall for a tramp like Serena. Doesn't he know you're the only one good enough for him?"A bitter laugh escaped Desiree. She sighed in resignation and said, "Trust me, it caught me off guard, too. I nearly lost my memory because of him, but he had no problem leaving me for another woman.""Don't worry, Desiree. I'll teach Serena a lesson for being a man-stealer!" Dorothy promised."I know Serena has questionable morals, but try not to be impulsive when dealing with her. She means a lot to Wilson, and the l

In the Nielson residence's backyard, Serena noted that Dorothy had not shown up even though 15 minutes had passed. Just as she rose to leave, a female silhouette slowly approached them.Dorothy crossed her arms, her pink coat wrapped tightly around her as she came up to Serena and Joanna. Behind her trailed several housekeepers. From the looks of it, she hadn't come to discuss a business deal but to pick a fight with Serena. "So, you're Serena?"Serena looked placid as she answered, "Yes. May I know why you had me come over today, Ms. Nielson?"Dorothy made no reply and openly appraised Serena. She had to admit, Serena was stunning. She had the makings of a bona fide seductress, which explained why Wilson was so beguiled that he'd leave Desiree for her."I told you I wanted to order cakes," Dorothy finally snapped. She turned and sank into the rocking chair behind her, looking nonchalant as she drawled, "Go on, tell me all about your shop and your baking selection. I'll decide if y

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

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

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

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

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

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
