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

"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

"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

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

Ronald leaned back in his chair. "Arthur, if you truly care about Lo, then show me your sincerity. If you agree to my terms, I promise to mend my relationship with her and give her the grand wedding she deserves. That way, both the Collinsworth and Quade families maintain their dignity, and Lo will be happy."However, Arthur didn't budge. "I can't agree to the shares, but I can offer you something else."Ronald's expression darkened. "Then let's hear it."Arthur took out a proposal and placed it in front of him. "This is an investment project in Lakent. The land there has natural hot springs, fresh air, and breathtaking scenery. It's perfect for developing a high-end tourist destination. Many were vying for it, but my family had the upper hand in securing the bid. "If we win, you'll benefit without taking any losses."Ronald narrowed his eyes slightly. "And you think just because you say so, I should believe you?""Within a month, you'll receive confirmation that the Quade famil

Ronald's villa was massive, and its interior was heavily styled in traditional Centurian decor—so much so that it felt stiff and lifeless.Arthur stepped inside and was immediately led to Ronald's study room.Ronald sat at his desk, eyes fixed on the computer screen. Carmen sat quietly nearby."Mr. Quade and Mrs. Quade," Arthur greeted.Carmen offered a polite smile. "So you're Lo's boyfriend? I believe we've met before. You do look like quite the gentleman…"Before she could finish, Ronald cut in. "This doesn't concern you. Go have the housekeeper prepare some soup.""Alright." Carmen left the room.Behind his glasses, Arthur's gaze darkened briefly before he took a seat. "I heard from my mom that you wanted to speak to me personally about Willow and me.""Not bad." Ronald closed his laptop. "You don't beat around the bush. Arthur, if you want my approval for this marriage, you need to show me you're serious."Arthur remained composed. "If you truly approve, then tell me what

As soon as Gary left, Sebastian handed over a file. "Mr. Quade, based on the investigation, the people behind the previous kidnapping case are connected to some powerful figures. The Stone family is among them.""Alright, got it." Wilson wasn't surprised. During the initial investigation, he had already noticed the Stone family wasn't as clean as they appeared. However, their relationship was amicable on the surface, so he turned a blind eye. Besides, the Stone family held considerable influence at the time. It was too much to take on.Things were different now. The kidnapping case in Nocturna had unraveled an even bigger web, and the deeper the authorities dug, the more tangled it became. It had already caught the attention of those at the top, and a directive had been issued. The case was to be thoroughly investigated.That meant he had been given the green light to pursue things. He wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.Wilson picked up his phone and dialed a number. The ot

Gary's face darkened as he glared at William. "William, is this how the Quades treat me?"William was casually sipping his coffee. "Gary, there's nothing I can do. I can't even control this rebellious son of mine.""How dare you—" Gary tried to say something but was cut off by William."I'm tired. I'm going to head back now." William stood up from the couch and walked past Wilson before patting him on the shoulder.Wilson's eyes were thoughtful. He knew William was telling him not to go too far.After William had left, the tension in the office thickened.Gary's glare sharpened. "Wilson, you're really willing to turn against my family over some insignificant woman?""Desiree laid a hand on my people. Consider yourself lucky I haven't slapped you in the face. This? This is me showing you respect." Wilson's expression turned cold, the atmosphere in the room growing heavier.Gary felt the chill in his tone. He scoffed, rage bubbling beneath his smirk. "Great. Just great. If I had

After the Collinsworth brothers left, Lila returned. She carried a bag with mushroom soup, buns, and milk as she walked in. "Mr. Farrow, you should eat something.""It's okay. I'm not hungry." He had no appetite. His gaze lingered on her before asking, "Where were you last night?""I was at work, Mr. Farrow. You know that the club runs night shifts. I only get off in the morning," Lila explained.Upon hearing that, an unexplainable anger rose in his chest. "Are you still working at the club?""Yes," Lila replied softly."Didn't I tell the manager to give you the money? Now that your mom's surgery fees are covered, why are you still working there?" Justin asked."I…" Lila's eyes darted nervously."Do you really have to degrade yourself like this?" Justin frowned.Lila paused for a moment before saying, "That's my own private matter. Mr. Farrow, you have no business interfering with where I work."Justin let out a cold laugh. "You got the money, and now you're standing tall? Fin

Joseph, Arthur, and Lila were there.His gaze immediately locked onto Lila. "What are you doing here?"Joseph and Arthur exchanged glances. What a friend he was. The first thing he cared about after waking up was Lila? No loyalty to his own friends whatsoever.Lila gave a small, polite smile. "My phone was off earlier. When I turned it back on, I saw multiple missed calls from you. I called back, but Mr. Collinsworth answered."Arthur shrugged. "She asked about you, so I told her what happened. Then she came over."Lila looked a little guilty. "I'm sorry, Mr. Farrow. I was at work yesterday and didn't see your calls. Did you need something?"Did he need something? Not really. He had just left Serena's place last night, feeling unbearably empty, and he needed something or someone to fill the void. So, he thought of her. "Nothing important. It's all good now."Sensing that they had things to discuss, Lila stood up. "I'll step out for a bit."Once she was gone, the hospital room f

Joseph countered, "Starting a business is challenging in the beginning. Just hold on a little longer. Once the company takes off, I'll…""Oh, let me guess. You'll give me a raise and promotion and lead me to the pinnacle of life? Yeah, I'm done buying into your empty promises!" Lauren waved him off. "Alright, I'm here. You can go now."Seeing her step into the elevator, Joseph didn't follow. He only turned around and walked away once the doors closed.Lauren's apartment was an old, rundown building. It was a resettlement unit with four houses sharing a single landing, and the space was tight.As she stepped out, she noticed a man pounding on the door across the hall. He was clearly drunk. She pulled her coat tighter around herself and suddenly regretted not letting Joseph walk her up. Who would've thought she would run into a drunk in the middle of the night?She was a knockout. What if she became a target?"Open up… Open the door!" The man's voice was low and slurred.Lauren su

It started drizzling at some point, and it was almost midnight when Serena reached home with an umbrella. When she was at her door, she saw a black lump on the stairs. Initially, she thought it was garbage, but when the sensor light turned on, she saw that it was Justin.Frowning, she wondered why he was here again."Serena, I'm sorry for disrupting you, but I have a question to ask. After I get an answer, I'll leave." Justin stood up. Although he looked forlorn, he was calm and didn't go crazy right away like the previous times. "What do you want to ask?" Serena asked.Even though Justin wanted to control his emotions, tears welled up in his eyes the moment he opened his mouth. "It's my birthday today, and I opened the email you sent."Taken aback, Serena was confused for a while. After thinking for a few seconds, she realized what it was.Six months ago, she did schedule an email for Justin, and it was timed to be sent on his birthday today. Afterward, she forgot about it

At 6:15 pm, Justin received an email in his private email. His irises shrank after he checked his inbox; it was Serena.After a short moment of stunned silence, he realized that Serena might have scheduled this email to be sent exactly at this time—because 6:01 pm was when he was born, not a minute earlier.With trembling hands, he opened the email.A video recorded by Serena greeted him, and she looked demure as she faced the camera."Justin, it's your 28th birthday today. Happy birthday. While you're watching this video, do you think that I recorded it today?"Actually, no. This was recorded six months before your birthday…"This was just as Justin expected, so he wasn't surprised at all.In the video, Serena chuckled shyly. When she laughed like that, she had a hint of innocence that could soften anyone's heart.Justin couldn't help but laugh along with her, and she continued, "It's 3:00 am now, and you're still abroad, but I'm missing you suddenly. I remember you said that
