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

"What was that all about earlier, then?" Wilson asked."I was looking out for you, not because I can't let go of Justin." Serena's eyes widened with urgency as she explained, "There will be trouble if you end up seriously hurting him. It's not worth it for someone like Justin."Wilson leaned down slightly as he stepped closer to Serena, and she could only retreat until her back was pressed against the wall.Wilson was tall, and with one hand pressed against the wall, he almost trapped her in his embrace.The familiar, cool, woody scent lingered in the air between them, and all of Serena's nerves were on edge. She asked, "What are you doing, Mr. Quade?""Looking into your eyes to see if you are lying," Wilson replied."I'm not lying." Serena widened her eyes and stared straight into his. "Do you see my sincerity now?"Wilson was rendered speechless. Serena stood rigidly before him with her hands and legs pressed against the wall. She looked like a child being made to stand in det

"Justin, what happened to your face? Did someone hit you?" Mollie widened her eyes in shock the moment Justin got into the car.Justin's expression darkened as he said, "Why don't you yell a little louder?"Mollie fell silent immediately, and then she asked tentatively, "Who hit you?"Justin didn't respond. Mollie thought for a moment and wondered if Wilson had done it. When she saw Justin's face grow darker, she knew her guess had been right.She asked, "Wait… Why did you get into a fight with Wilson?""Stop prying into my business," Justin huffed. "What actually happened between you and Desiree?" Mollie's face immediately dropped at his question. She said, "I honestly don't know. I exchanged a few sharp words with Desiree, and then my horse went wild. I wasn't even scared, but Desiree fell off hers. Is she really that delicate? Perhaps she did it on purpose to get Wilson's attention and pity."Justin said sternly, "It's best not to offend the Stone family. Dealing with Wils

"Justin, what happened to your face?" Jenna had been rambling on and on when she suddenly noticed the bruise at the corner of his mouth.Justin sipped his tea and said, "It's nothing. I just bumped into something."Jenna said, "You should be more careful. As for Candice, what are you planning to do about her? If you're tired of her, then let her go quickly. There's no way we will allow her into the family."Justin's tone was distant. He replied, "I'll take care of it."Jenna's eyes lit up with surprise. Not too long ago, Justin would get angry whenever she brought up the subject. She hadn't expected him to come around so quickly.Jessica, standing nearby, couldn't hide her smile as her eyes sparkled in anticipation.…As they left the Farrow residence, Justin sat in the back seat and handed Jessica a business card. Confusion clouded her features as Justin's next words hit her like a thunderbolt. "Charles Zeller owns a commercial street. I want it.""Mr. Farrow, how can I help

"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
