Candice asked, "Justin, why did you stop eating?""You don't need to bring me food anymore," Justin said, setting down his spoon. "You should focus on your own things. Didn't you already settle on opening a bakery? How's that going?""I've been keeping an eye on it," Candice replied quickly. The shop is brand new, so I took it over directly. The franchise has also been finalized and should open in a few days."Justin raised an eyebrow. "That fast?""Of course, mainly because of your support. With the funding in place, everything's moving quickly," Candice replied, leaning in to grab his arm.Then, she asked, "Justin, if the bakery opens in three days, can you come? I'm a bit nervous about handling it alone."Justin glanced at his schedule and noted that he was free that day. "Sure," he said.…That night, Nocturna experienced a heavy downpour. After the rain, the temperature dropped by several degrees.While out buying groceries, Serena heard the faint sound of a cat meowing f

Wilson raised his brows slightly. "Are you close with Serena?"Sebastian suddenly felt a twinge of guilt. "Not really, but she might need something.""Answer it," Wilson instructed.Sebastian had no choice but to accept the call. After a few polite exchanges, he said, "I'm not sure about this, Ms. Judd; Mr. Quade is right here. Perhaps you should ask him directly."Serena agreed, "Alright."Wilson looked mildly surprised. Since she was looking for him, he couldn't help but wonder why she had called Sebastian instead.Wilson reached over and took the phone.Yvonne anxiously spoke up, "Wilson, I—"Wilson shot her a glance.His usually lazy eyes suddenly turned cold, a sharp, icy gleam in them, making Yvonne fall silent. By the time she recovered, Wilson had already stepped onto the terrace with the phone in hand."Ms. Judd, is there something you need from me?"Serena's gentle voice came through. "Yes, I just wanted to ask—Mr. Quade, are you allergic to cats?"Wilson replied,

Wilson remained unmoved."What are you all standing there for? Escort Ms. Jenkins out."The bodyguards immediately stepped in, swiftly escorting Yvonne out of the office.It wasn't until she was back in her Porsche that Yvonne regained some of her composure. She shakily took out her phone and dialed a number.As soon as the call connected, Yvonne couldn't hold back her anger. "Simon, your son is in trouble! Shawn's been kidnapped by that wicked Wilson! Do you know that?"Simon's voice was surprisingly calm. "Wilson has already informed me about this."Yvonne was taken aback. "You knew?""This is Shawn's fault. He took Wilson's people for no reason and still has yet to learn his lesson. How do you think Wilson feels about that?" Simon replied. "Why did he have to provoke Wilson of all people? Now, Wilson's going to send him off to Westeros, and there's nothing I can do about it!"Yvonne shouted in frustration, "Are you seriously saying that? He's your son!"Simon was also angry

The doctor recommended Serena take a week off to rest due to her injuries. With no work to go to, she quickly found herself feeling unusually idle. On the first day, Willow also took a day off and spent it with her, feeding Bingo and cooking. For the next two days, Serena stayed at home binge-watching TV shows.When Lauren found out, she immediately rushed over, eager to drag Serena out for a shopping spree.Serena was puzzled. "Aren't you working?"Lauren smirked, clearly in control. "I requested time off. If that Stupidron refuses, I'll—"Serena raised an eyebrow. "What will you do?"Lauren leaned in close and whispered something in her ear. Serena blushed slightly."Does that really make him burn with desire?" Serena asked."You don't get it. Once a man has tasted it, he'll only think with his lower half," Lauren said, adopting a worldly tone. "If he can't get what he wants, it's worse than killing him. It's pure torture!""Are all men like that?" Serena asked skeptically.

Just as Serena was about to step outside, Lauren stormed in, grabbed her by the arm, and dragged her out in a rush."I knew there was something fishy about all these people showing up! Scumstin is here playing knight in shining armor for that bimbo. Ugh, I should've brought some rotten eggs today to throw at these two!"As Serena was dragged outside, she saw the commotion across the street. A throng of people had gathered in front of the new cake shop, but a group of bodyguards had cordoned off a large space in the middle.Justin, dressed in a light gray suit, stood beside Candice, holding scissors for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. They looked harmonious and picture-perfect, drawing the attention of the gathered crowd and cameras. Photographers clicked away nonstop, while a few journalists attempted to ask questions, only to be silenced by a single sharp glance from Justin.Lauren sneered. "Look at that Scumstin. Back when he was with you, he wouldn't show his face in public even

Serena froze, then turned around to meet a pair of smiling eyes. Wilson bent down and snagged the cake box from behind her. He stood close to her, and the cool, woody fragrance he carried unexpectedly calmed Serena greatly.Lauren gasped out loud. She asked, "What are you doing here, Mr. Quade?""I had a sudden craving for cake," Wilson said. His gaze drifted lazily to Serena, and his lips curled into a cheeky grin. "I didn't expect Ms. Judd to have bought it for me. What would you call this?"Lauren quipped, "Telepathy!"Serena was speechless as she wondered if Wilson and Lauren were putting on a little act.Justin felt his heart sink slightly. He looked at Serena and asked, "Are you really here just to buy cake?""What other reason is there? I've said this before, Justin—I'm not interested in anything to do with you or your girlfriend. You're the one who's overthinking the matter." Serena gave him a brief glance before turning to leave.Justin felt an inexplicable twinge of

"We saw Mr. Farrow come up, so we thought we should stop by to say hello," George said.Lara added, "That's right, we're going to be family, after all. Why are you so nervous?"Justin finally spoke, "Family?"Candice immediately said, "Dad, Mom, I have some matters to discuss with Justin. Could you step out for a moment?"She pulled George and Lara aside and gave them a look. The two left somewhat reluctantly.Candice sat down beside Justin awkwardly and said, "My parents can be a bit too friendly and straightforward. Please don't mind them, Justin."She had planned to make sure she had Justin firmly in her grasp before introducing him to her parents. However, when George and Lara learned that Candice would be at the cake shop, they took it upon themselves to show up uninvited. Now, they had even met Justin. Candice could only hope they hadn't said anything inappropriate earlier.Justin leaned back onto the couch and asked, "Why were there so many reporters today?"Candice repl

The woman was dressed in a Chanel-inspired tweed suit, with her long hair draped over her shoulders. She sat across from Wilson with poise and elegance. It was evident that she came from an affluent and well-cultured background. She turned to look at Serena. Her beauty was striking, and she radiated an air of refined grace and sophistication.The woman was the first to smile, and she asked, "Are you Wilson's personal assistant?"Wilson glanced over and said, "Let me introduce you. This is Desiree Stone, and this is my personal assistant, Serena Judd.""Hello," Desiree greeted politely.Serena recognized Desiree's voice as the woman who called Wilson the other day. She greeted in return, "Nice to meet you, Ms. Stone."Wilson leaned lazily against the couch and asked, "Why didn't you rest for a few more days, Ms. Judd? You don't exactly have a family to feed, so why work so hard?"Serena replied, "I've already been to the hospital, and I'm almost fully recovered."Wilson nodded

"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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
