"I know. I heard that it's going to be a cake store," Terra said."We can't allow that store to open. Do you get it?" Menace flashed in Candice's eyes. "Keep an eye on that store and everything that happens within. Let me know once you see anything happening."…Serena returned with food, and everyone sat together, eating from the takeout boxes.Joseph ate heartily and commented, "This is weird. The food today tastes especially delicious.""Looks like you don't know that food tastes especially good when you earn it through hard work."You're born with a silver spoon and have never worked a single day in your life. This is your first experience, isn't it?" Lauren asked."It is…" Joseph sank into deep thought. He had always been a carefree scion. Now that he thought about it, perhaps it was time for him to do something serious."Laurie, how's your job search going?" Serena asked.Lauren sighed. "It's okay, I guess. There are jobs, but many have long working hours. Hardly any

Kelly turned to Bruce. "Invest in a company for his sake. A small advertising company isn't going to cost much. I think it's worth it to spend a little in exchange for Jo's growth."Bruce thought about it and found that she had a point. "Okay. I'll give you a few more days to think it over. If you don't change your mind, I'll invest in a company for your sake," he said to Joseph."Thanks, Dad!" A smile broke out on Joseph's face."What's your friend's name? Do I know her?" Kelly asked casually."Well, not exactly…" Joseph's eyes wavered as he continued eating.Lauren and Kelly had previously met once in a church before, but they didn't leave a good impression of each other at that time.He wasn't sure whether Kelly had any memory of Lauren, but it would be best if she didn't."She's your friend. When you're free, you should introduce her to me," Kelly said."Sure. She's a nice lady. Although she has a loud, outgoing personality, she's kind and has a sense of justice. I think

"Willow Quade," Arthur replied calmly."Is she from the Quade family?" Surprised, Kelly searched through her mind but came up with nothing.It was no surprise that she didn't know Willow. Unlike other upper-class ladies, Willow rarely attended grand parties.However, Bruce knew her. "She's Ronald Quade's daughter. I've seen her once. She's elegant and pretty. I think she's in the same school as Artie when he was studying abroad.""Really? Her education background is not bad, then." Kelly's eyes lit up."Oh, you. Why didn't you mention that you already have a girlfriend? You made me worry about you for nothing. "If you're serious about her and think that she's the one for you, Bruce and I will make some time to visit her parents.""Okay. I'm alright with that." Arthur stood up slowly. "But Willow must give the green light first. Before that happens, you can just stay home and have your tea parties.""Okay, I'll do as you say," Kelly agreed readily as she never had to worry abou

Chapter 264

After telling off her employees, Candice asked Terra about the business plan. Terra passed the business plan, which she had spent all night on, to Candice, who.Candice simply flipped through a few pages in annoyance. "Whatever it is, make sure that the cake store opposite from us won't have any business. "As for anything else, just do as you see fit. Fire the people who aren't right for the job, and recruit people if you need.""For such a huge shift, the funds—""Do you think I have no money?" Candice rolled her eyes at Terra arrogantly and sent one million dollars to the company account in everyone's presence.It didn't matter because she would just get more money from Jenna.When she was done throwing a fit in the store, she couldn't stop herself from going out, hiding in a secluded spot, and observing Serena's store. Today, Serena was at the store. With a safety helmet on her head and a simple shirt, she scurried in and out as she worked on her store. That was pretent

Slowly, Justin snapped out of his daze. The person before him was Lila, not Serena.Today, Lila was dressed simply. Her hair was put up with a hairclip, and her well-proportioned body was accentuated in a beige-colored bodycon dress.She looked fresh and elegant, and her style was a little similar to Serena's. However, she was missing the aloofness which Serena was born with."Can you sing?" Justin asked."Yes.""Sing for me, then. Any song is alright," he said, leaning into the couch.He reached for a glass of red wine and took a sip from it.In her knee-length bodycon dress, Lila plopped herself on a barstool and started to sing with a microphone in her hand.She had a beautiful voice, but Justin was seeing another person as he stared unblinkingly at her.It suddenly dawned on him that he had never heard Serena singing. He wondered how she would sound when she sang.A feeling of wry bitterness washed over his chest, and he took another sip of wine.After singing for a long

"Are you free? Come meet me for some drinks," Justin invited."I'm not free now," Arthur replied.Justin was a little frustrated, wondering why he couldn't get any of his close friends out for a drink."There's nothing keeping you busy at work recently, and you're not a womanizer. What else can possibly hold you up?""It's something important. I can't come over now. We'll meet next time." Arthur tapped on the screen and hung up.In front of him, Willow was draped in sexy lingerie. She sat on the bed with her legs crossed, swinging her fair leg rhythmically.Arthur went on one knee and removed her shoe as she placed her other foot on his shoulder."Aren't you a womanizer? I didn't know that you're living an ascetic life, Mr. Collinsworth."Arthur kept quiet with his head lowered, playing with her foot in his hand.Willow recalled the last time when they had sex. Arthur had done a few rounds. The first time, he seemed a little untrained.She didn't dwell on it because his perfo

Candice stood outside the club, smiling sweetly at Justin. "Hi, Justin."Justin's face instantly turned dark. "What are you doing here?""I…" Candice stammered, unable to explain herself.Justin frowned. "Are you following me?""I didn't!" Candice felt a wave of diffidence before saying, "I went to the cake store today to check on the business and saw that you were there, too. "I wanted to greet you, but I was worried that you'd be annoyed. So, I followed you here. Justin, I don't mean anything else. I just miss you so much."She pouted her lips, wearing a pitiful, aggrieved expression. "I'm not the only one who misses you. Your baby is missing you, too."Her words revolted Justin. "Are you done talking?" Candice raised her head, only to meet his indifferent eyes."Get lost if you're done!" Justin barked, shocking Candice.Then, he spun on his heels and walked toward the bathroom without looking back.Biting her lip, Candice followed after him in frustration. Justin had

"Justin, who is she? Do you know what you're doing?" Candice was shaking with anger."She's not Serena but a club hostess. Don't you find her filthy?"Seeing her so agitated, Maisie repeatedly advised her to calm down. "Ms. Ashton, let's go back—"But her words fell on deaf ears. "Why should I go home? Who is this woman?"Meanwhile, Justin made a call to the manager. When the manager arrived, he instructed, "Drag this madwoman out of here."Candice stuck out her stomach. "I dare you! I'm pregnant with the Farrow family's heir. I would like to see who has the guts to touch me!"Everyone was shocked. Did she say the heir of the Farrow family? Wasn't that Justin's child?Justin suppressed the anger burning in his chest. "Get her out of here!"A few security officers wanted to drag Candice out, but she put up a fight, struggling with all her might. "Justin Farrow, you heartless man! I'm pregnant with your child! I dare anyone here to touch me! If you hurt my baby, all of you will

Jenna said in an emotionless voice, "Are you deaf? Or do you not understand me?"Her words ignited Candice's fury, and Jenna reminded her, "I'm courteous to you because you're pregnant. If you lose the baby, you'll have nothing at all."Candice was startled for a moment, but she quickly tried to calm herself. "I understand.""Good." Jenna headed out and narrowed her eyes when she saw the palm mark on Maisie's face. Considering the fact that Candice's pregnancy was still unstable, Jenna held back her temper.How audacious of Candice to have struck her maid! Jenna already made a mental note of this feud.…To play it safe, Jenna had Candice checked into the hospital for the night for observation. Lying on the hospital bed, Candice was about to fall asleep when her cellphone suddenly rang.It was a call from an unknown number."Hello?""It's been a while, babe." The voice shocked Candice so much that she was no longer sleepy. She sat upright and asked, "Are you—""It's T

Serena's heart skipped a beat, and she jumped out of his embrace. "What are you doing here so late at night?""Taking a stroll," Wilson answered.Serena thought speechlessly, "There he goes again, telling bullshit with a straight face.""You showed up here late at night the last time, and this time as well. Mr. Quade, is there nothing happening at work recently to keep you busy?" she asked."But don't you think that I appear at the perfect timing every time?"Again, Serena was speechless. Wilson saved Beatrice the last time he appeared here. Today, he appeared again and pacified her anxiety.Every time, he showed up just in time. "I'll walk you home," Wilson offered."Okay," she accepted. Her experiences with stalkers had left a psychological scar in her.At her apartment door, Serena turned around and said, "I'm home, Mr. Quade. You should go home, too."It was already so late. It would be inappropriate if he came into her apartment. Furthermore, Lauren was inside.She e
