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

"Losing isn't okay, and winning isn't either. Tell me how you want to play then, Ms. Stone," Wilson said.Desiree laughed and said, "Never mind. I'll let you off the hook today."Wilson turned his head toward Serena and asked, "Aren't you drinking water?""I'm not thirsty," Serena replied.Wilson nodded and said no more.Desiree wanted to go horseback riding after their game of golf, and since the stables were nearby, the group headed there together.At the stables, Serena ran into an unexpectedly familiar face—Mollie.Dressed in equestrian attire, Mollie dismounted from her horse. She seemed to want to approach them but hesitated as she wasn't well acquainted with them.When Wilson and Desiree went horseback riding together at the riding arena, Mollie finally found an opportunity to approach Serena. She spoke with a hint of urgency, "What's going on? Why is Wilson hanging out with Desiree again?"Serena said, "This is Mr. Quade's private matter, so I wouldn't know."Molli

Wilson led the sleek black horse beside him and stepped closer to Serena.Serena's eyes lit up, and she looked eager to try. She had been to the stables before while accompanying Justin, but she had only ever watched him ride with his clients.Justin never offered to teach her to ride, and Serena had wisely kept quiet."I would need a trainer since I've never ridden before," Serena said. "I'm afraid it might take up some time.""Who needs an instructor? I'm better than any of them." Wilson chuckled, and he extended his hand to Serena as he spoke. "I'll help you onto the horse. We'll start with a slow lap."Serena was about to decline, but Wilson grabbed her hand and pulled her forward. He instructed, "Step up and get on."With his hand supporting her waist, Wilson was about to lift Serena onto the horse when a sharp scream interrupted them. Both of them turned around to see Desiree lying on the ground for reasons unknown a short distance away.Gary shouted in panic when he saw t

"You're lying!" Gary suddenly shouted, causing Mollie to jump. "I clearly saw the both of you arguing. Your horse acted strangely after that, and Desiree fell!"Mollie stammered, "I… I didn't—"Just as Gary was about to speak again, Serena interjected, "Mr. Stone, there are surveillance cameras at the stables. If Mollie did anything on purpose, it might have been caught on camera.""What if it's not caught on camera? It's so far away from where it happened," Gary said, visibly irritated. You're just a personal assistant. What right do you have to interrupt?"Wilson clicked his tongue and said, "Mr. Stone, I'm the one who spoiled my personal assistant. If you are going to be angry, please take it out on me."Desiree also spoke up. "Dad, why are you so harsh? Nothing's wrong between Mollie and me. We just had a few words, and maybe my tone wasn't too nice, but she had nothing to do with my fall. She was startled, too, when her horse whinnied. Please don't make this worse."Gary's e

Serena acted as though she had heard something amusing. She huffed in disbelief, "Justin, do you even know what you are saying?""Name your terms. As long as you come back, I will agree to whatever you want," Justin said seriously.Serena found the entire thing ridiculous and turned to leave, but Justin grabbed her wrist. She frowned and demanded, "Let go of me!""Is it because of Wilson?" Justin asked. "You can't bear to leave him?"Serena struggled and asked, "Why are you bringing him into this?""Serena, Wilson is the son-in-law Gary has his eyes on. He's deeply tied to the Stone family, and unless something unexpected happens, he will certainly marry Desiree," Justin said. "There will be no good outcome for you if you stay with him."Justin's gaze shifted slightly. "Come back with me. I'm the only one who can protect you." "I've shielded you before, and I will continue to do so in the future." Justin's tone softened into something more pleading, which was rare for him when

Outside, Damian fished out his car keys and climbed into his car. Casually, he tossed the cupcakes to the backseat and sped off in his Maserati. While driving, he turned on the surveillance camera app on his cellphone and scanned his studio and home. Everything was normal, but his instincts told him something was amiss.Today, Serena told him that Zoey's parents had personally apologized to her. Based on his understanding of the Bakers, they would have never visited Serena.There was only one possibility—they had met Wilson or his men and only came to apologize after being threatened by Wilson.Damian wondered whether Wilson suspected anything. There were no surveillance images on Zoey's cellphone, so maybe Wilson suspected something more to this.The situation would get sticky if Wilson's investigations led to him.He had to get back and take care of it as soon as possible. …The next day, Justin flew back from abroad and headed straight to his office.On the way, he receiv

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 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

"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

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

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'

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

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

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
