Candice's eyes widened in disbelief. "Me?"She shook her head. "I didn't do anything."Wilson clicked his tongue. "I have no interest in your poor acting. Why don't you apologize to Serena right now?"Color drained from Candice's face. At that moment, a towering figure appeared before her. She immediately latched onto Justin's sleeve as though holding onto her last string of hope. "Justin, I didn't do it…"Tears rolled down her cheek as she whined pitifully.Justin stared at Wilson grimly. "Why are you giving my girlfriend a hard time in front of everyone?""Did I?" Wilson sneered. "I can't be bothered to waste my time on your girlfriend. I would rather spend that time securing a few major business deals. You think too highly of your girlfriend, Justin."Wilson went straight to the point. "There are security cameras everywhere. Well, the one near us is a little tilted, but I'm sure it captured the incident. Why don't we review the footage to confirm if Candice had deliberately

Wilson squinted like a sly fox. "The manager told me this was a blind spot, but it's all good now because Candice has admitted to it."Candice looked like she was struck by lightning. She dug her nails into her palm, feeling like she had been played.Once Wilson left with Serena, Candice had to endure the looks she received. Yet, no one dared criticize her because she was dating Justin. Still, the looks in their eyes made their feelings clear.Even Mollie couldn't take it. She stomped and complained, "How embarrassing!"Then, she left with Lynn.Candice tried her best to regain her composure. Turning to Justin, she began, "Justin…"She was surprised to find him scrutinizing her. "Justin, do you not trust me?"All he said was, "The event's about to end. I'll have someone drive you home."Her face paled. She muttered, "I-I need to use the restroom."…The ragged breathing of a man and the erotic moans of a woman filled the air of a dimly lit lounge on the second floor.Jacob t

Serena checked out her look in the restroom mirror. She carefully dabbed at a tiny wine stain on her dress with a tissue.Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from outside, and Candice walked in."Serena?" Candice's face showed surprise, only to be quickly replaced by anger.She had originally gone to the restroom downstairs, but the judgmental stares from a group of socialites had made her feel so uncomfortable that she came to the second floor instead.To her dismay, she ran into Serena—the person she despised most.Candice walked up to her, her voice low. "Serena, you must be feeling pretty smug right now, huh?""Are you talking about that incident with Lynn?" Serena turned off the faucet, her voice calm. "You brought that on yourself.""You got lucky this time." Candice glared at her. Suddenly, she put on a smug smirk."So what if I bumped into Lynn on purpose? As long as Justin believes me, that's all that matters. Oh, by the way, I've decided to start a bakery. In a few

Justin turned to look at Candice and led her to the door.Zane was already waiting in the Maybach, with Justin's younger siblings, Damian and Mollie, occupying the backseat.Justin gestured toward Candice."You leave first.""Justin, what about you?" Candice asked."I have something to take care of," he replied.Hearing this, Mollie immediately objected, "Why does she get to ride in the same car as us? I don't want to be in the same car as her! Being near a woman who pulled such underhanded tactics is a total embarrassment!"Already annoyed, Justin snapped at Mollie, "Get out of the car, then!"Mollie's face turned pale. She angrily pulled Damian out of the car with her, storming off to hop into Lynn's car instead.Candice widened her eyes in hopeful anticipation after Justin seemingly stood up for her."Justin, you believe me, right?"With a pitiful expression, she pleaded, "I really didn't mean to bump into Lynn earlier. You know how clumsy I am. I was nervous about coming
Too Late for Forgiveness Chapter 56
Wilson asked, "Did she not come downstairs?"Justin answered, "No."Hearing this, Wilson's expression shifted a little. He had waited upstairs for a while, but Serena never showed up, and she wasn't answering her phone. Thinking she might have gone downstairs first, he headed down, only to find no sign of her there either.Justin sensed that something was wrong and quickly stepped forward. "Where did you take Serena?"Wilson ignored him and made a call. Then, he summoned the hall manager. "I'm looking for someone important. Get me all the security footage after 8:40 pm tonight."The manager looked troubled. "Mr. Quade, this is Mr. Cohen's property. I'm afraid—""I've talked to him. Call him to confirm if you don't believe me, but before that, please let me access your control room." Despite sounding cool, Wilson came across as authoritative. "Please lead the way.""Sure."Wilson followed the manager to the control room. At the same time, he sent his men to search the hall.Jus

Besides, there was a massive garden outside the hall. It could take forever if they searched for Serena cluelessly.Wilson first needed to figure out who had put a target on Serena. Once he had a lead, finding Serena would be much easier.Just as he was feeling agitated, he suddenly noticed a lavishly dressed woman standing in the hall and talking on the phone.Wilson's gaze narrowed. "Yvonne?"Yvonne Jenkins noticed him at the same time and immediately smiled. "Oh, Wilson! I haven't seen you in a while."Yvonne was Shawn's mother. She had married Simon Quade, but the couple later divorced due to some marital conflicts.Yvonne had taken on Simon's last name after marriage, and she spoiled her son rotten. That was why Shawn acted like a rascal.Wilson squinted doubtfully. A sudden thought flashed through his mind. He walked down the stairs slowly. "Yvonne, are you looking for Shawn?""Yes, that boy disappeared right after the event ended. He's not answering his phone, either. I
Too Late for Forgiveness Chapter 58
Serena rubbed her wrist and slowly stood up.Gritting her teeth, she straddled Shawn without hesitation.Shawn's eyes lit up with surprise. "Well, well, I didn't expect you to be so bold. I like it."Suppressing her disgust, Serena reached out to unbutton Shawn's shirt. He leaned back slightly against the couch, his breathing unsteady, and squinted at her."Hurry up!"Serena's gaze turned icy. Her hand slowly reached for the side table where an ashtray was placed.The moment she grabbed the ashtray, she swung it down hard toward Shawn without hesitation.But just as the ashtray was about to strike him, a sudden force yanked her away. Serena's hand slipped, and the ashtray struck Shawn's shoulder instead.As she tried to get up from the ground, Shawn forcefully stomped on her hand with a streak of madness in his eyes."Damn it! I knew you were up to no good, but I didn't think you'd have the guts to attack me!"Enraged, he kicked Serena hard in the stomach. She groaned. It f

Jacob listened intently, but he heard nothing."Wilson, I know you're worried, but be prepared. If Shawn didn't take Serena away, we'll need to calm down and look for new leads."Wilson found traces of Shawn in the security footage in the hall. After the event ended, he saw Shawn driving out of the parking lot.Shawn left with his plus-one. The bodyguard behind him was carrying a huge black luggage.Shawn didn't drive far. He found a five-star hotel nearby and immediately checked in.There was a possibility of Serena being stuffed into that luggage, but it wasn't confirmed.Wilson shoved Justin's hand away and spoke with conviction, "Serena's calling for me."He quickened his pace, heading straight to the presidential suite where Shawn was staying.Outside the suite, two bodyguards stood watch. They froze for a moment when they saw Wilson."Hi, Mr. Quade.""Open up," ordered Wilson unfeelingly.The two guards hesitated, clearly nervous, but one mustered the courage to say, "

Joseph rubbed the back of his head and said, "I don't think Serena wants to see you right now, Justin…"Justin's face darkened when he heard this. He was about to snap at Joseph and Lauren when the room door opened.Wilson leaned against the doorframe with one hand in his pocket, nonchalance coloring his handsome face as he eyed the trio bickering in the corridor. "Mind the noise."Justin nearly flew into a rage as he beheld Wilson. "Where's Serena?"A calm, collected voice rang out from the room. "Is something the matter?""Rina!" Lauren ducked under Wilson's outstretched arm and hurried into the room. "Rina, how are you feeling?""I'm fine. I got away with only minor wounds and abrasions, but I am pretty exhausted and ended up sleeping for longer than expected," Serena explained."How are you coping mentally?" Lauren pressed, her eyes wide with worry. Serena was already dealing with enough emotional baggage, to begin with, and the traumatic events of the last two days must hav
Too Late for Forgiveness Chapter 299
Without hesitation, Wilson cupped the back of Serena's head and kissed her back deeply. His kisses were careful and lingering at first, then slowly became passionate and demanding.With one hand holding Serena's head in place and the other gripping her slender waist, he practically hauled her upright and eased her into his lap. His body tightened as the soft curves of her body molded against the hard planes of his, and his system went into a frenzy.Weak as it was, his voice of reason compelled him to end the kiss before things went further. But Serena suddenly moaned in the back of her throat, the sound soft yet catalytic. Whatever trace of reason Wilson found vanished into thin air as he pinned her to the bed and deepened the kiss, his teeth grazing her lips hungrily. He pressed her close, willing all and any distance between them to melt away.The bed rattled slightly beneath them, and the air in the spacious hospital room grew too warm too quickly. The tension between Serena a

Serena put on a fresh change of clothes. In the car, she dozed off in Wilson's arms. She had gone a whole night without sleep, and the events of the last two days took a toll on her mental and physical strength.Serena slept deeply and woke up in the hospital room. The sharp scent of antiseptic filled her nose.She slowly opened her eyes when she heard a soft noise coming from her bedside and turned to find Wilson sitting there, peeling an apple. He paused and met her gaze."Mr. Quade…" Serena began.However, she was interrupted when Wilson clapped a warm hand over her forehead and caressed her skin. "You're not running a fever. That's good.""Didn't the nurse take my temperature earlier?" Serena asked."You knew about that?"She nodded. She had awoken a few minutes ago and was drifting in and out of sleep when the nurse attended to her. She'd felt the latter take her temperature.Wilson pointed out, "So, were you pretending to be asleep, then? You fooled me. I even heard you s

Just as Thomas was about to dunk Serena underwater again, a loud bang cut through the air, followed by Thomas' piercing scream. He clamped a hand over his right shoulder where crimson blood bloomed across his shirt.Serena looked up at the towering cliffside to see Wilson aiming his gun in Thomas' direction. She watched as Wilson shrugged off his jacket and dived into the lake. Behind him, several men took their positions on the cliff.Tears pricked Serena's eyes. She kicked Thomas away and swam toward Wilson with as much force as she could.Thomas snapped to his senses and immediately pushed forward to swim after Serena. However, his wounded shoulder hindered his swimming. "Stop! Come back right now, damn it!"Less than 50 yards separated her and Wilson, yet Serena felt as if they were worlds apart. After what felt like ages, a strong arm finally pulled her into a warm embrace. Wilson held her close and murmured, "I'm here now. You have nothing to be afraid of."Serena breathed i

Despair flashed in Mollie's eyes. Suddenly, someone gripped her wrist. She turned to see Serena staring at her evenly and whispering, "Head southwest."With that, Serena nudged her away before darting out of their hiding place and bolting in the opposite direction."Shit!" Thomas swore upon seeing Serena. He leaped down the hill and ran after her.The blood drained from Mollie's face. She clenched her jaw and ran southwest like Serena told her to. As she ran, tears streamed down her face, and she prayed that Serena would get away safely.…"Damn it! Stop running!" Thomas roared as he pursued Serena.Serena was barefoot and practically flying through the woods. She had always been strong, and her stamina was second to none when it came to running. However, biology became her biggest hurdle, and it didn't take long for Thomas to catch up to her.He pulled her back by her hair and flung her to the ground, using inertia to his advantage. She hit the forest floor and felt her head s

Mollie said weakly, "Go on without me, Serena. I'll only hold you back."Serena hauled Mollie to her feet and reassured her, "We must have shaken them off after running for so long. I can hear running water somewhere. Maybe we'll find a stream where we can clean your wounds."Mollie could tell Serena did not intend to leave her behind. Tears welled up in her eyes.Seeing this, Serena asked, "Why are you crying?""I just feel bad because… I was so mean to you, yet you're risking your life to save mine. I'm a terrible person!" Mollie sobbed."Don't say that about yourself. Compared to your mother and Justin, you were practically nice," Serena comforted her. Indeed, Mollie hadn't done anything terrible to Serena save for a few acerbic comments here and there.Mollie was speechless as she considered Serena's words. She then said, "You sure know what to say to make people feel better.""Come on." Serena looped her arm through Mollie's and gently but firmly guided her forward. Sure

"Don't touch Mollie!" Serena struggled to shield Mollie."Out of my way!" Carl snapped, shoving Serena hard enough that she staggered to the side, lost her footing, and hit her head on the rocks. She blacked out after that.The skinny man's eyes glittered as he said, "How delicate. Hey, Carl, now that you've knocked out this one, can I have her? You already have Ms. Farrow over there—""Get in line!" Carl barked, cutting him off."What the hell? Don't tell me you want dibs on the other one, too!" the skinny man protested."I'm not letting you get a taste of that beauty first! I'm calling dibs on both of them!" Carl snapped.The skinny man was about to say something when Carl silenced him with a deadly glare. A vicious smile curved his lips as he said before leaving, "Fine, have your fun. I'll take my turn after you."Mollie glowered at Carl with wide eyes. "Get away from me! Don't you dare touch me! I'm the young lady of the Farrow family!""What makes you think that'll stop me

The woman's helpless sobbing prompted the other women to start crying and begging for mercy, too. However, their captors couldn't care less.Mollie leaned against Serena, her skin hot to the touch, and rasped, "Serena, let's… run.""We can't," Serena whispered."But if we don't run, we'll be sold off into a rural village in the mountains and never come out again," Mollie countered urgently."I know," Serena said quietly, but now was not the time to make their escape. They wouldn't get far if they ran now.The chubby guy hauled up the woman cowering at his feet and growled, "Stop crying and get your ass up! We're leaving now!"The woman, weakened and howling, refused to budge. The chubby guy grew incensed and slapped her hard across the face. In a violent fit, he grabbed her by the hair and slammed her head against a tree trunk.Blood trickled down the woman's face as she slumped onto the ground. She looked half-dead.The whip-thin man watching this from the side chuckled. "No n

Kayden stood before Wilson and reported the latest updates, "Mr. Wilson, we've sealed all the waterways. We're also carrying out a blanket inspection on all moving vehicles on the expressways, but we've yet to find Ms. Judd.""Got it," Wilson replied as he pulled the car up to the side, his cigarette dangling between his lips. The storm in his eyes matched his foul mood.At that moment, his phone rang. He answered it and heard Andrew announce, "We've caught a suspicious vehicle passing through the surveilled area!""I'm on my way." Wilson hung up and sped toward the police precinct.Andrew showed Wilson the latest lead he found. "The van has raised alarms before, and the driver is our suspect. He goes by the nickname 'Whistle', but his real name is Thomas Garcia. I sent my men after the van after we determined the route. If our hunch is correct, Serena should be in that van now.Wilson stared at the footage of Thomas as if the latter were a dead man.Andrew continued, "And have y
