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'

Hearing that, Willow snickered sarcastically. "They're not what you were expecting, are they?"Kelly wasn't sure of what she meant by that and answered hesitantly, "They are a little…" "Mrs. Collinsworth, please don't mind me. I will not be your daughter-in-law," Willow said with a straight face."What do you mean by this? Are you not serious about Artie?""Arthur is a good catch. Sadly, the Collinsworth family doesn't have any huge transactions with my father in business, and neither are you guys a family with influence. "Since you can't provide any useful help in projects, you'll have to provide benefits from other industries."Willow blew out a puff of smoke. "My father is a greedy man, and your family won't agree to his terms." Stunned, Kelly then realized that Ronald wanted Arthur to visit him personally because he wanted to name the terms with him. However, she wasn't worried because Arthur always had a mind of his own and wouldn't mess with their family business. B

"That explains it. You're so busy every day that you don't have time left for Mr. Quade anymore, do you?" Gwen looked helpless as she added, "I thought that Mr. Quade's temper has been a little short recently. That's because you've been giving him the cold shoulder.""Don't let him get to you. As long as he pays you on time, you should just ignore everything else," Serena said."You have a point."Serena shoved a piece of cake toward her. "Would you like to try this today? Our patisserie chef just came up with this new flavor.""Sure, I'll get a piece." However, Gwen didn't leave after the cake was packed into a box, and there was a complicated look on her face."Serena, I'm resigning soon."Serena was puzzled. "Why?"When Gwen seemed hesitant to speak, Serena passed the work at the counter to a staff member and stepped out with Gwen. There was a bench on the side, and they sat on it outside.After a long moment of silence, Gwen uttered, "Serena, I think I never told you in

Serena remained in the same spot as she watched Gwen leaving from the back, a mix of emotions in her chest. Just then, a car honked suddenly behind her.Turning around, she saw Wilson's Cullinan parked at the side of the road, and the driver seat window rolled down. Wilson held a cigarette between his fingers as his arm was lazily propped against the side of the window. His profile in the night light was so stunning that he appeared unreal.Serena walked over to him slowly. "Why are you here?""I'm here to pick you up. What are you looking at? You look so engrossed.""Nothing. I was chatting with Gwen earlier." Slipping into his car, she asked, "She said that she's resigning soon. Is that true?""She did bring this up today, and she can leave once the handover is completed. That will take a little more than two weeks.""Have you found a new personal assistant?""No. Why don't you take over?""Nope. It's more carefree to be my own boss," Serena rejected flatly.Wilson chuckle

When Damian walked into the patisserie, the young ladies in the store stole a look at him."Hi, Serena," he greeted."Hey, Damian. What brought you here?""I happen to pass by here, so I decided to drop in." Damian smiled softly, revealing his pearly whites. Next to Serena, Joanna stared at him, smitten. "Serena, what's up with you? All the guys you know are dashing! As they say, good-looking people only hang out with each other. People with ordinary looks like us are left to ourselves, dissing each other."Damian looked at her. "You're rather cute, too. Your eyes are big, like a deer's.""Really?" Joanna was so happy that her eyes were shimmering brightly.Receiving a compliment from a dashing man was enough to keep her happy for the entire day. Shy but excited, Joanna scurried into a corner.Serena turned to Damian. "Do you like desserts as well? Which flavor do you prefer? I can recommend something to you.""Strawberry flavor, I guess. Actually, I'm here today to apologiz

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
