Chapter 251

Serena interjected, "I'll go with Lauren. She drove here today."Justin and Wilson spun to look at her.Lauren was rendered speechless when she heard Serena mention her name. She was disappointed the two men did not engage in an epic battle like she'd hoped. "Come on, Rina. Let's go."Serena left the room with Lauren, and Wilson followed suit shortly after.Justin watched as Serena headed out the door, and it wasn't until she'd disappeared round the corner that he looked away. He approached Beatrice's bed and asked, "Grandma, why didn't you say something? You were the one who wanted Serena and me to be together. You should have stopped her from leaving."Beatrice leveled a stony look at him. "I can't believe you expect me to help you after the mess you've caused at home!"A dark look flashed in Justin's eyes. "Nothing is going on between me and Candice anymore. I didn't choose to keep her at the family residence. That was all Mom.""I can't butt into your love life, nor do I wan

Serena's words stumped Zoey. She rolled her eyes and argued, "I'm not like you or other women. I pal around with Kieran and the guys, not that I'd expect you to understand!""Serena." Damian came up behind Serena, crossing the room to the booth.He looked dapper in his black, button-down shirt that accentuated his broad shoulders and lean waist. As his towering silhouette approached, he looked more mature and unlike his usual fresh-faced, youthful self.Surprise flickered across Serena's face. "Damian… Why are you dressed like that today?""I was meeting a client just now and figured I'd suit up a little bit. I look okay, don't I?" Damian asked."You do," Serena reassured him, suddenly realizing how much he'd grown.A faint smile curved Damian's lips. "Your photos from our shoot are out, Serena. Let's go take a look at them."She nodded and fell in step behind him as he left.Zoey watched them leave and snorted. "What a tramp. She was all over Kieran a second ago, and now, she'

Serena leaned forward and placed a hand on Damian's forehead. "Do you have a thermometer in the studio?""Yes," Damian replied.Serena found the thermometer and took Damian's temperature. Sure enough, he had a mild fever. She suggested that they visit the hospital to get him checked out, but he told her his schedule was packed today and that taking a few pills would set him right.Hearing this, Serena led him to the lounge where he took some pills and chased them down with the water she'd brought him. As he lay on the couch, he stared at Serena and said apologetically, "I invited you over to look at the photos we took. I'm sorry you had to take care of me instead.""Don't worry about it. Just helping out a friend." Serena perched beside him and glanced at the brochures for new studios piled up on his table. Her gaze fell on one, and she picked it up.The studio's name was "True Desire". It rang a bell, and Serena flipped through the brochure and realized it was indeed Desiree's st

Damian had already eased himself upright by the table. He was eating chicken noodle soup when he saw Serena entering the lounge and smiled. "The food's pretty good, Serena, though it's not as good as yours.""You still remember my cooking?" Serena asked."Of course. You often cooked for the family back when you lived with the Farrows. I missed your cooking after I went abroad," Damian confessed wistfully.Serena did not reply. She had worked so hard to please Justin, Jenna, and Mollie when she lived at the Farrow residence. Even the housekeeper was stunned by her diligence. She certainly wasn't keen on revisiting that embarrassing part of her old life."You should swing by my place for dinner sometime," Serena said.Damian's eyes glittered at the invitation. "I will."Serena left shortly after having lunch with Damian. On her way out, she ran into Zoey, who had just returned from lunch and getting takeout.Zoey glanced at Serena but did not bother greeting her. Instead, she brus

Gwen turned to look at Wilson. "Mr. Quade, welcome back."Wilson responded with a noncommittal hum. He wore a dark-colored blouse, and his tailored pants flattered the muscular outline of his mile-long legs. A black suit jacket had been draped over his arm, adding a casual touch that softened his granite-edged elegance.Safe to say, he was dangerously attractive.Behind him stood Jacob, who looked equally handsome despite his more relaxed get-up.Serena greeted the latter, "Hey, Jacob.""What a surprise to see you here, Serena," Jacob mused."I came to help Ms. Beckham with work stuff," Serena explained. Wilson suddenly interjected, "Have I perhaps awakened some latent superpower recently like, I don't know, invisibility? I swear some people have been seeing right through me."Jacob shot him an exasperated look. "What nonsense are you on about now?""No, not nonsense, Jacob. Take Ms. Judd, for example—she didn't see me at all! Why else would she have greeted you and not me?"

Gwen peered at Wilson. When he did not object to her and Serena tagging along, she accepted Jacob's invitation.Serena made no reply. As Wilson's assistant, it was only natural for Gwen to go to lunch with them. But what was Serena's excuse? She was about to turn down the invitation when Wilson held up his phone."I've already texted the manager at The Allegra. Several customers complained about the restaurant's dessert selection being too sweet, so the restaurant is looking for a new dessert supplier," Wilson said.Upon hearing this, Serena met his gaze. "I've got nothing else planned, anyway. I'll come with you guys.""Bastard," she cursed inwardly. She hated that he had her wrapped around his pinky.…The manager of The Allegra ushered Wilson and the others into the private dining room. Desiree looked glum. She thought she'd be dining with Wilson alone, but now, she was forced to endure the others' company.Serena was absentminded as she racked her brain for ways to approach

Jacob considered Wilson's predicament and said ruefully, "I can't imagine what it'll be like for him when he's forced to marry someone he doesn't love."Serena pointed out, "How many in this world are lucky enough to marry those they love? Given your family background, I thought you'd understand this more than anyone else."He went still when he heard this and saw a woman's face in his mind's eye."You have a point," he said with a snort. Jangling his car keys, he offered Serena, "Come on, I'll give you a lift."…On the way home, Desiree tried to strike up a conversation with Wilson while they were in the backseat, only to earn noncommittal responses from him. She asked, "Wilson, I got in touch with the editor-in-chief of Suave magazine, whom I've met previously, and he's agreed to a collaboration."The magazine plans on doing a spread on business attires for its next issue. I'll be in charge of the photo shoot, and I was hoping you'd be my model. What do you say?Wilson barely

Wilson blew out cigarette smoke and said to the driver, "Drive."The driver did as he was told and stepped on the gas. The Bentley zipped off into the night, leaving Desiree standing alone on the sidewalk. It took her a while to snap to her senses and realize that Wilson had left without her. He had actually abandoned her!In the end, Desiree called her family driver to pick her up. The moment she got into the car, she sullenly gave Gary a call and told him everything that happened that night.Gary said nothing at first, then, "I warned you that Wilson is sharper than most people. You couldn't keep him in the dark forever. I even told you to find the right time to stop the act, remember?""But he was nicer to me when he believed I'd lost my memory! Why would I want that to end?" Desiree whined. In truth, she hadn't so much as lost her memory as she felt groggy when she first regained consciousness. It took her longer than usual to recall some details, so she pretended to have lost

Desiree got off the phone with Gary and leaned into the backseat. She suddenly recalled the time when Wilson had neither money nor power.Would he have become the mighty CEO of Quade Group had the Stones not chosen to work together with William and help him? Would Desiree stand a better chance at wrapping him around her pinky then?…Serena burned the midnight oil to bake samples for The Allegra, and it wasn't long after she'd delivered the sweets to the restaurant that she heard back from the manager. The restaurant team was impressed by her baking and decided to sign her up as their next dessert supplier.She was overjoyed to hear this and immediately agreed to collaborate. They promised to contact her with a formal proposition once the contract with their current dessert supplier ended.For the next few days, Serena busied herself with setting up her cake shop. The renovation works were making good progress, and she helped out with menial tasks here and there.Lauren was free

Maisie stopped Candice from going after Serena. "Ms. Ashton, you're pregnant right now! You shouldn't be having an outburst like this. Let's calm down.""Shut up!" Candice scowled. "Why didn't you tell Serena off for me? You're not pregnant, so what's keeping you from having an outburst on my behalf?"Baffled, Maisie asked, "W-Why would I tell Ms. Judd off for no reason?""Because you're my maid! Why am I paying you if you won't even do your job and speak up for me?" Candice thundered, stomping her foot. "You're so useless!"Maisie was so angry she nearly hit Candice on the head with the umbrella. She couldn't believe Candice would spew such nonsense, especially when her paycheck came from the Farrow family and not Candice!And what hard-earned money it was, indeed. Maisie cursed Candice inwardly and prayed the baby would come sooner so she could finally wash her hands off the shrewd young lady.Candice stormed into her cake shop. When she saw the employees chatting among themsel
