Chapter 271

Serena's offer not only provided Isaac with a job but also a continuation of his dream. Hence, he agreed to it.Before leaving, Serena said sincerely, "Mr. Cooper, I know you're a man of ingenuity, and I respect everyone with a dream and faith. I look forward to working with you."A smile spread across Isaac's face. "Me too, Ms. Judd. I look forward to working with you."…In a mansion located in the suburbs, Gary was sipping tea on a couch in the living room, looking upstairs anxiously.Opposite him, Desiree sat demurely, whispering, "Dad, why did you bring me?" "Your grandmother knows that you're in Nocturna. If you don't come along, it will seem like we're lacking in sincerity.""When I had amnesia, she didn't visit me, either.""That's nonsense. When you were hospitalized, she did send someone to check on you, but you didn't know about it."Desiree picked up her cup. "She's not that heartless, then.""Behave yourself later once she's here," Gary said as Jillian came down

Gary was speechless.Allowing an enemy to do as they pleased would only cause trouble in the future, and he was afraid that his nephew, Trevor Stone, would act outside of his expectations and jeopardize his position.If he had known that Trevor would grow up to be such a ruthless man, he would have gotten rid of him back then when he got rid of his elder brother, Billy Stone. Then, both of them could reunite in hell."What are you thinking about?" Jillian uttered suddenly, jerking Gary back to his senses."I'm just thinking… You and Dad had always favored Billy since we were young. Even when he's now dead, you're favoring his son.""Aren't you ashamed to mention this?" Alas, a shade of emotion appeared on Jillian's face. "You know exactly how Billy died!"It was him; Gary caused Billy's death. He killed her eldest son, his blood brother!But now, he wasn't the least ashamed to act aggrieved in her presence.A chill washed over Jillian's heart. "Get out of here!""Mom—""I mov

Afterward, Billy was naturally selected to be nurtured as the heir of the Stone family. In the meantime, Gary lived a carefree life.However, he wanted to be the CEO of Stone Enterprise and the family heir, too. But nobody would notice him with Billy around.He had to admit that Billy was outstanding. Every time they were in the same room, Gary would feel an irresistibly oppressive air.Perhaps some were born to be leaders, but in the end, Billy still died in his hands.When they went scuba diving together, he tampered with Billy's oxygen bottle, causing Billy to drown to his death.Gary assumed he had been meticulous enough. He thought that no one would find out. Alas, he underestimated his father's astuteness.It didn't take long before Gary became the biggest suspect and was uncovered by his father.That day, he groveled on his knees, begging for forgiveness from his father. Sorrowful and furious, his father almost killed him on the spot with a whip while Jillian sat in a cor

Serena smiled softly. "I can't let you down when you have so much trust in me."Jillian placed the invoices on the table. "In the future, you don't have to report every single menial thing to me. Do things without worries."As Jillian stared at her fixedly, she seemed to have seen another person through Serena—her son, Billy.He was also as dependable and warm as her, but he had left her forever.Grief washed over Jillian's chest as she said calmly, "Go ahead and do what you think is right. Your feud with Desiree has nothing to do with me, so don't worry about anything."Sensing that Jillian seemed tired, Serena decided not to impose on her further and left after mentioning a few more things.When she was gone, Jillian sat in the living room, sorrow shrouding her eyes. She looked as though she had aged years in just minutes.Erina approached her. "Ma'am, did you have an argument with Mr. Stone?"Snorting, Jillian held a shard of irony in her eyes and said, "An argument with him

"Why would you say that?" A despicable smile played on Thomas' lips. "We can also speak about sex. During those two weeks, you begged for me every night, and I ended up so weak every day. At that time, we were—""Enough!" Candice interrupted. "Tell me, how much does it take for you to leave me alone?""I heard that the Farrows will pay you 30 million dollars as severance after the baby is born. I want half of that.""What gives?""Because I contributed to your pregnancy." Thomas folded his arms. "You know what's going to happen if you don't share the money with me. Candice, you have no other choice."He was such a greedy man. Fury rose in Candice's heart, and she lowered her eyes as she contemplated.Rather than giving him 15 million, she reckoned it would be better to spend that money on getting rid of him completely.Thomas didn't have any family, anyway. Back then, she chose him to be the sperm donor whom she could dump afterward because he was an orphan. There wouldn't be

Candice finally calmed down a little at Serena's threat. The next second, she put on a pitiful face. "He's carrying a torch for me, but my heart belongs to Justin. I didn't cheat on him. I'm pregnant with Justin's child, and he's the only man in my heart now—""Drop the act. It makes me sick." Turning around, Serena left in a hurry.As Candice stared at her from behind, the look in her eyes gradually turned sinister. Thomas paced to her side. "What's up? Does that woman have a problem with you?" Gritting her teeth, Candice answered, "If it isn't because of her, I would've been Mrs. Farrow already.""Since you hate her so much, do you need my help to make her disappear?""Really?" Light sparkled in Candice's eyes, but she quickly found it a ridiculous idea. "The mandatory sentence for murder is death. Are you willing to risk your life for me? Stop kidding me.""Did you forget what I told you?" Thomas inched in closer to her. "I'm now dealing in illegal businesses and have a w

A shriek escaped Serena's lips, but she fell into an embrace instead.Her mind went blank for a second. Slowly, her eyes fluttered open, and a familiar face was right before her.Wilson raised his brows at her. "What's the storyline today, Ms. Judd? A fairytale princess falling from the skies?""Thank you," Serena muttered."A princess usually marries the man who saves her, right?"Serena kicked her legs. "Put me down."So many people were on the street, and this situation was embarrassing for her.A renovation worker rushed out. "Ms. Judd, I'm sorry. This ladder has a broken leg, and I forgot to mention it to you.""Get it fixed before someone else falls from it.""Okay." Carrying the ladder, the renovation worker returned inside.Meanwhile, Lauren and Joseph came out to check the situation. When they saw Serena swaddled in Wilson's arms, they couldn't help the looks on their faces. Composedly, Wilson placed Serena down and looked at her. "Aren't you going to invite me ins

Wilson didn't stay after finishing lunch and left after picking up a call.Gary was already waiting for him in the VIP lounge when he returned to his company. He approached him and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Stone.""Where were you?" Gary was puzzled, seeing the dust on Wilson. Wilson casually passed his suit jacket to Sebastian and sat across from Gary. "I just went for a stroll," he said."I heard from Desiree that there's a conflict between both of you," Gary said solemnly."So, are you here to reprimand me?" A smirk hung on Wilson's lips, but his face was unreadable.Gary slowly said, "Desiree tricked you, so I understand that you're unhappy about it. But you shouldn't forget that she was injured because of you. It's not a big deal that she pretended to have amnesia.""You're right, Mr. Stone.""Desiree is upset now. You should cheer her up.""Mr. Stone, you're making things difficult for me because I'm not capable of cheering up another person."Wilson crossed his legs. "Sh

Rather than Wilson being indebted to the Stones, the relationship between Wilson and the Stones was an exchange of interests.After all these years, Quade Group became more stable, whereas Stone Enterprise slowly became turbulent. Wilson had helped Gary a few times afterward. So, all the favors Gary did for him in the past had been repaid a long time ago.This news took Jacob by surprise. "Is that what happened? People outside are saying that Gary saved you and kept you in the Stone residence. "While you were recovering there, you befriended Desiree. Both of you were teenage sweethearts and grew to love each other."Wilson snorted in laughter. "That's ridiculous. Do you buy it?""I do. I believe the rumors from outsiders, and even Serena bought it."Wilson froze for a second, and the smirk disappeared from his face.Seeing the deflated look on his face, Jacob gloated, "Look how this story has turned out. But Serena doesn't really believe others. After hearing all these rumors

Serena was in a black dress, her fair arms and alluring collar bones exposed. A hint of aloofness hung on her face, and she was breathtakingly gorgeous.Wilson stared at the picture for a few good minutes before flipping the page. In this picture, she wore a bodycon dress, and in the following pages, she was in different styles.Raising his head, Wilson looked at Sebastian. "Where did you get this?"Pigs were flying. Even a scaredy cat had such a sexy and appealing side.Sebastian answered honestly, "Didn't you ask me to monitor Ms. Judd? I found out that she went to Damian Farrow's studio recently to be his model."After the advertisement brochure was printed, I immediately got a copy."Then, he complimented, "For such an aloof person, Ms. Judd is really versatile. These pictures are gorgeous."He finished, waiting for Wilson's praise, but he saw Wilson closing the brochure instead."Do you have that much time? If you're so interested, what do you think if I send you to be a m
