Chapter 241

"No matter what, I owe you a huge thank you. If it weren't for your recommendation, I would never have had this amazing opportunity," Serena said."So, what's your next plan?" Jillian asked."I'm getting ready to open a physical store," Serena replied."Do you have enough capital?" Jillian asked again."A small shop will do for now," Serena said with a slight smile. "Once the business picks up, I'll think about the next steps.""Why not open a large store right away? I'll invest the capital," Jillian said."You're going to invest in me?" Serena was taken aback.Jillian rolled up her sleeve. "I believe in your ability. Once your business takes off, I can even earn a little extra money on the side."Lauren threw her arms around Serena. "Rina, it's rare that Mrs. Gallagher values you. What are you waiting for? Weren't you always dreaming of opening a cake shop? Your dream is coming true!"Serena looked at Jillian. "Mrs. Gallagher, are you sure you want to invest in me?""Yes. I'

Gwen turned and looked at Serena. "Ms. Judd."Serena was puzzled. "You know me?""I remember when I joined the company, you didn't even take your ID badge with you. I saw your photo." Gwen smiled lightly. "Other employees have told me that when you worked as a personal assistant, Mr. Quade really liked you. " She then took a step closer. "Could you share some of your experience with me? I want to earn Mr. Quade's favor too."Serena spoke softly, "Mr. Quade is actually very easy to get along with. The more time you spend with him, the more you'll understand how to deal with him.""Is that so?" Gwen said thoughtfully.Lauren was quick to speak and blurted out, "I mean, you don't happen to like Wilson, do you?"Gwen gave a shy smile before openly admitting. "Mr. Quade is an outstanding, charismatic man. I want to catch his attention." Then she addressed both of them, "Well, I'm going to order now. Ms. Judd, we'll talk later if you have time.""Alright, see you," Serena said polit

"Are you planning to look for a new job?" Serena asked."Sort of. Opening a cake shop might be your dream, but it's not mine," Lauren said."By the way, Laurie… what's your dream?" Serena asked."I just want to be a couch potato. Ideally, not having to work while being taken care of at home would be perfect," Lauren said cheekily.After a pause, Serena said thoughtfully, "Then I'll work hard to support you as soon as possible.""You'd better get rich quickly, because someone like me has no hope of marrying into a wealthy family. Girl, I'm counting on you!" Lauren exclaimed, grinning from ear to ear as she drove her Mini Cooper.When they arrived at their apartment building and were about to head upstairs, they noticed a familiar figure standing at the bottom of the stairs."Damn it, it's Justin again. When will he ever leave us alone?" Lauren grumbled, scratching her head in annoyance.Serena, however, remained calm. "Laurie, you go ahead first. I can handle this." She didn't w

Chapter 244

Jenna took Candice to the hospital. After a thorough examination, the doctor assured them that everything was fine. "Pregnant women tend to be a bit emotional, but the baby was not affected this time," he said."I understand." As Jenna led Candice out, she glared at her. "You're fine, aren't you? I bet you're just faking it," she snapped."You heard the doctor. My mood was off, but the baby is fine this time. What about next time?" Candice said, pressing her hand against her aching face. "I'm carrying the Farrow family's child. How can you hit me?""It's only because you lost your manners and yelled at me," Jenna retorted, struggling to keep her temper. "If you still want those millions of dollars, you better behave. Remember, even if you have a miscarriage, there will be other women who can bear Justin's children. Don't think having a baby makes you untouchable!"Candice bit her lip. "I understand."Jenna's anger finally subsided a bit, and she took Candice back home.On the way

Candice exploded with anger. "Are you deaf? Can you bear the consequences if anything happens to the baby?""Just wait a minute. I'll go downstairs and ask Mrs. Farrow," Maisie said as she hurriedly descended the stairs.Beatrice had also heard the commotion. "What's going on upstairs? I thought Mollie wasn't coming back tonight. Why do I hear a woman's voice?"Justin's expression darkened as he glared at Jenna. Jenna offered an awkward smile. "It's nothing. Just one of our new maids. She's clumsy and probably broke something."What was Candice up to now? As Jenna fumed, Maisie rushed down and whispered the situation in her ear.Jenna's face grew grave. "Really?" she asked."Yeah, what should we do?" Maisie asked nervously."Get the family doctor over here," Jenna ordered.However, Justin's deep voice boomed. "Do not call the doctor.""Justin, what are you…" Jenna tried to protest."Haven't you sent the woman upstairs away yet?" Justin wiped his hands and said irritably, "T

Jenna was furious. "He left without even a goodbye! If it weren't for him getting her pregnant, I wouldn't have let that troublemaker stay here. Now that she's carrying a Farrow child, I'm stuck cleaning up his mess!"Beatrice interjected, "That baby was a result of Justin being conned. Understandably, he's angry now."Jenna snapped, "What are you saying? Are you implying I'm at fault?"Beatrice shook her head. "Forget it. I can no longer meddle in your affairs. Don't come to me anymore." With Wendy's help, she slowly walked out. The dinner, once pleasant, ended in bitter discord.In a burst of anger, Jenna glared at Candice, startling her. "What's wrong?" she asked timidly."Didn't you fall and hurt yourself? I see you look perfectly fine now!" Jenna accused.Candice's eyes darted nervously as she remained silent, looking guilty."You little bitch!" Jenna shouted, raising her hand to slap Candice.Startled, Candice shrank back. Then, biting her lip, she straightened her postur

Such a pity about that guy back then… he was really something. But don't you go around spreading this story," Lynn said."Got it," Mollie reassured her.Candice moved into a small, detached house. The environment was pleasant, and she was satisfied.After ordering the maids to unpack her belongings, she went to her bedroom to freshen up and get ready for bed. Just then, her phone rang.Candice picked it up and her breath froze when she saw the message. "Baby, I heard you successfully tricked your way into a wealthy family. Now that you're so rich, how could you ever forget me?" It was Thomas!Panic-stricken, Candice immediately deleted the message and then called Lara. "Mom, didn't you say you already gave Thomas 100 thousand dollars to get rid of him? Why is he messaging me now?""I was just about to tell you. He called today, saying he knows what kind of schemes you're running. He wants me to give him 500 thousand dollars, or else he'll go to the Farrow residence to find you!

Chapter 248

It was as if Wilson sensed something, he suddenly looked up. Serena's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly drew the curtains.Downstairs, Wilson noticed the silhouette by the window vanish, and he took several more drags from his cigarette. He felt almost like a creep. Perhaps she had been frightened by him?He had no idea what had happened to him today. After drinking, he had spent the entire afternoon sleeping in his office, tormented by a jumble of dreams. Every one of them was about her.In his dreams, he had pinned her down in the break room, leaving his scent on every inch of her. She had been soaked with sweat, like a fish dried out by the sun.When he finally woke up, Wilson lay in bed, lost in thought for a long time. Then he took a shower, got into his car, and drove to the building where Serena lived, staying there until now. He wasn't sure what he was after either. He then extinguished his cigarette and prepared to leave.Just then, a white Mercedes-Benz slowly pull

Wilson followed in and joined her.Beatrice lay in her hospital bed, receiving IV fluids. "Serena, you're here…""Mrs. Farrow Senior!" Serena hurried over, her eyes welling up with tears once more.Beatrice gently dabbed them away. "Oh, sweet child, why are you crying?"Wilson muttered under his breath, "She's such a crybaby. She hasn't changed at all over the years."Serena silently cursed him. Even at a moment like this he couldn't help his sharp tongue. No wonder he might end up single forever!She squeezed Beatrice's hand. "Mrs. Farrow Senior, didn't your heart condition improve after surgery? Why is it acting up again?""It's hard to explain… All I know is that today, I'm grateful Wilson was here. If it hadn't been for him, I'd be in serious trouble," Beatrice said weakly.Serena was surprised. "So, it was Mr. Quade who saved you?""Yes. He was even at your building downstairs when it happened," Beatrice said.Serena turned to look at Wilson and met his deep, steady gaze

Outside, in the corridor, Wilson leaned against the wall while his gaze fixed indifferently on the closed door of the patient room. He appeared lost in thought.Lauren stole a glance at him.Wilson turned his head. "Ask whatever you want. I won't bite.""Heh." Lauren touched her nose and offered an awkward smile. "Mr. Quade, don't mind if I ask, what were you doing down there so late? You looked like a total creep."Wilson narrowed his eyes slightly. "I do mind, so I won't answer that question."Lauren was speechless. If he wouldn't answer, then so be it.Wilson asked suddenly, "I heard Serena is working on her cake shop project. How's it going?""That's Rina's private business. I choose not to comment…" Lauren muttered under her breath."What did you just say?" Wilson asked."We've already picked out a location, and we're just waiting for the renovations to be completed before we open," Lauren admitted honestly. She wasn't afraid. She had lost her nerve earlier when she had t
