Too Late for Forgiveness Chapter 356
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

Zoey raised her head and noticed Serena in a corner. "What are you doing here?"She frowned. "Isn't your patisserie keeping you busy? Why do you have the time to look for Damian here?""I'm here for you.""Me?" Zoey was confused. "Why are you looking for me?""Let's speak in the lounge," Serena suggested.There were so many people in this room; Serena didn't want to become the focus of discussion later. In addition, Zoey's misconduct would also implicate Damian's studio. Therefore, she thought it would be better to speak in private.However, Zoey folded her arms and said, "What is it that cannot be said in public and has to be said in the lounge? I'm busy now. Just be out with it here."Serena didn't insist. "Do you remember that plush teddy bear you gave me?""I do. What's the matter?"At the mention of this, guilt flashed past Zoey's eyes almost unnoticeably, but Serena was watching every change on her face."How do you explain the surveillance camera hidden inside?"Ins

On the day of her release, Zoey went back to the studio in a huff and overheard Harvey and Sunny's conversation."Zoey isn't suited to work here at all. Her photography skills are bad, and she has a foul temper. Sooner or later, the studio will be ruined if she remains here," said Sunny.Harvey was hesitant. "But if we ask her to leave, she'll definitely throw a fit, given that temper of hers.""It doesn't change anything even if she gets mad. Everyone saw what happened today, and the news will spread after this. For the sake of the studio's reputation, we must ask her to leave.""Sunny, why don't you speak with her? I can't do it."Livid, Zoey barged into the room. "So, what are you guys discussing behind my back?"Harvey's face stiffened. "Why are you released, Zoey?""My parents bailed me out. I can't possibly pin my hopes on you guys. "I was pushed over, but you guys are planning to get rid of me instead of helping me!" she growled.Sunny said directly, "Since you've hear

"What are you doing here?" Damian asked."How could you be so heartless, Damian?" Zoey was a little angry.Closing the door, she then paced to him. "Are you pretending you don't know, or do you really not know about this? "The main reason I'm working in this studio is actually… because of you."A soft blush crept over Zoey's face. She had never bothered confessing her feelings to others, but Damian was handsome and came from a prestigious family. The first time she laid eyes on him, she was attracted to him.She pestered Harvey and insisted on working in this studio mainly because she wanted Damian to fall for her.It had been so long, but Damian didn't make a move at all. So, she had to take the initiative.Damian glanced at her. "What are you doing now? Are you confessing your feelings for me?"The blush on Zoey's face deepened. "I'm serious. Damian, don't tell me to leave. I kind of like you."Slowly, Damian rose to his feet and snorted into laughter out of the blue. "Didn

Tears welled up in Zoey's eyes from fear. "I-I…""Nobody will believe anything you say, but let me tell you. If you say anything wrong, I have ways to put you in jail," Damian threatened."I won't speak a word about it." Zoey shook her head. "I promise. My lips are sealed.""Also, I'm warning you. If you harbor any evil thoughts toward Serena, I'll kill you," he warned and slowly released her throat. "Get lost."Opening the door, Zoey dashed out of the room.Harvey's voice echoed from outside, saying, "What's the matter with you, Zoey?""Nothing. I'm leaving the studio. From today onward, I'm unrelated to the studio.""Zoey—"The sounds of rushed, erratic footsteps died away, and an unnerving quiet settled over the area. Lying on the couch, Damian turned on his cell phone again. His eyes turned colder as he watched the video of Serena making out with Wilson. Then, the lights were switched off, and the screen turned dark.He turned off his cell phone as well, and the look in

The last time when Charlotte threw a high-tea party, Lauren openly snapped back at Kelly, driving her up the wall."Jo, don't you have any standards when it comes to recruitment?" Kelly asked.The look on Lauren's face was equally ugly. "Mrs. Collinsworth, what do you mean by that? Do you mean that I'm some kind of junk who's disgracing the company by working here?""This company belongs to the Collinsworth family. If I think you're not qualified, then you're not." Kelly turned to Joseph. "Fire her, Jo!"Hearing that, Lauren turned to Joseph, too. If he danced to the same tune as Kelly, she'd break his dumb head before resigning and leaving this shitty place.Joseph wore a somber expression. "Mom, since this company is mine, then I should manage it. Lauren is serious at work. I have no reason to fire her."Furthermore, she was the one who supported me in making a career for myself. That's why I started a company. This company wouldn't have existed without her. I'd still be raci

Kelly held her forehead, her temples throbbing, and decided to change the topic. "Let's not speak about Jo anymore. What about you? How are things between you and Willow?""We're doing fine.""Great. Should I free up some time to meet her parents after this?""Well… I'll have to check with her." In the spacious office, Arthur was on the couch. He spun his head, turning to Willow, who was on the other end of the couch with her legs on his thighs. "What do you think, Willow?"While snacking on grapes, Willow chuckled softly. "I don't mind. If Mrs. Collinsworth wants to visit, she can do as she wishes."But I must remind her to prepare herself mentally, or my parents may just drive her crazy."Arthur chuckled and conveyed her message to Kelly, "Willow doesn't mind, but her parents are not easygoing people. You should be prepared for that.""That's okay. I understand that."Their beloved daughter was dating a man. As her parents, they must feel unbearable.Kelly just had to sh

When Kelly was out of the house, she called Arthur and told him about Ronald's request.Arthur was not the least surprised. "I got it. I'll visit him afterward.""This family is weird. Artie, invite Willow home and let me meet her."She was worried that a child brought up by Ronald and Carmen would turn out weird as well."The time will come," Arthur replied perfunctorily. …As it was still early after hanging up with Arthur, Kelly decided to go shopping."Mrs. Collinsworth, many from the Nocturna upper-class are saying that there's a good patisserie. Would you like to take a look?" her driver suggested."A patisserie?" All of a sudden, Serena came into Kelly's mind.Speaking of which, the desserts made by Serena were delicious, and she suddenly had a craving for desserts."Sure. Let's check it out."Her driver sped along and soon reached a patisserie. Kelly glanced at the storefront and thought that it was tastefully decorated.The store was spacious. Even though it wasn'

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
