Chapter 281

The man Desiree desired had to be exceptional in every way. He must have stunning looks, an elite family background, and unmatched abilities. Later, Wilson became the CEO of Quade Group, and he checked every box on her list. That was when she began to fall for him. Little did she know, he was completely ungrateful! Desiree's anger welled up as she grabbed a cup, ready to smash it. Then, her eyes locked onto something on the floor, and she froze. She set the cup down, walked over, and picked up a promotional brochure that an assistant had left. The stack showcased some of the top photography studios in Nocturna, a collection she had meant to study for competitor analysis. Then she saw it. The photo in the brochure was of Serena!A cold glimmer flashed in Desiree's eyes. Come to think of it, Wilson had rejected her largely because of this woman. If Serena disappeared, nothing would stand in her way.That afternoon, with the sun shining brightly, Candice, who was dressed in a luxu

Candice was upset. "Then give me a number. How much do you want?"Isaac frowned. "Do you think I'll come with you just because you're paying more?""What do you want then if not money?" Candice asked, irritated."Someone like you will never understand," Isaac said coldly. "Had I known you were this kind of person, I would have never sold the shop to you. That was the worst decision I've ever made! Just go away. I never want to see you again!" With a loud slam, Isaac closed the door.Candice nearly burst into angry laughter. After all, he was just a worker. He was only after money. Why was he pretending to be so noble?The manager looked confused. "Ms. Ashton, he…""If he doesn't want to come, that's fine. I refuse to believe there isn't a single good pastry chef in all of Nocturna. If I can't find one here, I'll hire someone else, even from abroad. As long as the offer is good, I know I can find someone!" Candice declared.The manager remained silent. A truly renowned pastry che

Did Justin sleep with her? Candice felt a surge of anger. However, after a moment, she calmed herself and said, "I'm coming with you.""Oh, so you've come to your senses?" Thomas teased.Candice pursed her lips. "Why do you ask so many questions? Just make one thing clear. After this, don't ever contact me again." If Justin could be with other women, why couldn't she do the same? Being with Thomas gave her the thrill of getting back at Justin.Thomas laughed out loud. "How can you say that? I really like you, and I'll be calling you again."He leaned in closer. "Forget hotels. Why don't we go straight to your villa? Imagine doing it in the Farrow's villa. Isn't that more exciting?"Candice almost wanted to call him crazy, but after a moment's thought, she felt an inexplicable satisfaction. Maybe, in a way, he had a point.Thomas caught the look on her face and smiled even wider. Deep down, she was nothing but a slut, just his type.The two of them walked out together. Unbeknown

"You slut!" Mollie hurled her bag at Candice and lunged forward, pinning her down and beating her. "You slut! You dare pass off someone else's bastard as Justin's child! You are utterly shameless!""Go away!" Thomas, losing patience, shoved Mollie aside so forcefully that she fell hard to the ground. Climbing off the bed and hastily pulling on his pants, he sneered, "So you're Justin's sister? Huh, you heard every word of our conversation, didn't you?"Mollie scrambled to her feet. "How dare you push me? I'll tell you, both you and that slut Candice are finished! With all the nerve in the world, you even had the gall to set your sights on our Farrow family! You two will be in deep trouble when Justin finds out about this!" Furious, Mollie grabbed her phone and dialed Justin's number as she stormed out.Candice's face turned pale. "Oh no…"Thomas' eyes flashed with cold malice as he snatched a nearby vase and strode toward Mollie. Before she could turn around, he smashed it hard aga

"Are you saying you're scared?" Gwen asked."Well, actually, I'm more of a passive person," Serena replied, a faint smile tugging at her lips.She hadn't said much. She was always guarded, and being so open with Gwen was rare.Gwen gently took her hand, her eyes bright. "Serena, you're not only beautiful but also incredibly capable. If you set your mind to it, you can get anything you want. More people envy you than you can imagine. Don't look down on yourself."Serena fell silent for a moment. She had given everything to Justin over the years, pouring her heart out, only to be met with nothing. "Some things won't come your way, no matter how hard you try. And even if you get them, the outcome isn't always good.""But at least you tried. If you never get it, then it's simply not meant to be. But if you give up, you might miss out on a great opportunity." Gwen's expression grew serious. "These are two very different matters."Serena paused, letting her words sink in.Then, with a

Serena spoke softly, "Mr. Quade, I have something to say. Actually…" She hesitated for a moment, gathering her thoughts. On the other end, Wilson gripped his phone tighter as his anxiety grew.Just then, a knock sounded at the door. Sebastian pushed it open. "Mr. Quade," he greeted.Serena also heard the commotion. "Mr. Quade, are you with a client?""No. Sebastian is here to report something," Wilson replied."Then call me back when you're done," Serena said softly."Alright." Wilson ended the call slowly. His handsome face bore a peculiar expression. In truth, he didn't need to hang up. The matter wasn't as important as she was, but he was afraid. Afraid she might tell him not to bother her again. The thought only made him more irritable.Sebastian stood there, his heart pounding, wondering if he should say more. Wilson already looked irritated even though he hadn't said anything.After a long pause, Wilson rubbed his forehead and finally asked while looking at Sebastian, "W

Meanwhile, a strange sense of relief began to settle over her. That act of courage hadn't been as terrifying as she had imagined. Turning toward the cake shop, she started walking when suddenly a van pulled up beside her.Instinctively, Serena turned her head and saw someone on the opposite side holding a flashlight. The harsh beam made her squint, and an unsettling feeling crept over her. "Run!" was the first thought that flashed through her mind.However, as she spun around, a figure pounced on her like a starving wolf. Before she could react, someone clamped a hand over her mouth and dragged her toward the van parked by the roadside. Everything happened so fast. The overpowering smell of sweat and stale smoke filled her nostrils, and her consciousness began to blur.Desperately, she pinched her thigh, forcing herself to stay alert, then hurled her phone hard at her attacker's head. A muffled groan came from behind her. As her phone hit the ground, the grip on her mouth loosen

The night deepened. Wilson arrived at Serena's cake shop, but she was nowhere to be found. He called, but no one answered. Frowning, he tried several more times, but there was still no response. An uneasy feeling crept over him, and he grew increasingly anxious as he repeatedly dialed her number.Suddenly, he heard a faint ring. Following the sound, he discovered a battered phone lying by a narrow alley. At that moment, Wilson's expression turned icy. Serena was in trouble!Instantly, he remembered something and immediately called Kayden, ordering him to search for the human trafficking gang operating in Nocturna. Wilson then sped off, driving straight to the police station. The officers recognized him and led him into a small waiting room.Andrew Ziegler soon arrived. "Mr. Quade, thanks to your tip, we have identified the gang's main hideout. We are planning a sting operation to take them down.""Captain Ziegler, I am here to report that one of my very important friends has gone

"Instead of losing your mind here, why not figure out a way to find her? Justin, I don't have time to deal with your tantrums!" With that, Wilson got into the driver's seat and sped off.…The van was moving fast, rattling over every bump in the road. Serena felt like she was going to throw up.After what felt like forever, the van finally came to a stop. A burly man yanked her out roughly. That was when she realized they had stopped at an abandoned food factory. Wild grass had taken over the place, and several similar vans and buses were parked nearby.Other women were dragged out of the vans. Some were unconscious. The ones who were awake were crying and pleading for help—except for one. A woman in a black jacket was thrashing wildly. The tape over her mouth had come loose, and she was screaming at the top of her lungs. "You bastards! Do you even know who I am? I'm the eldest daughter of the Farrow family! You have no idea what you're getting yourselves into."Let me go right

Serena stared at her. "Because of what?""My… My head hurts," Mollie said.Serena turned to look and was shocked. The back of Mollie's head was covered in sticky, dark blood. No wonder she was so pale. Serena had thought it was just from fear, but it was clear she had lost a lot of blood. Still, considering how much she had bled, the fact that she was still so alert meant she wasn't in immediate danger. "Someone must have hit you on the back of your head. You're bleeding.""I don't remember… I don't even know how I got here…" Mollie curled up inside the cage, tears streaming down her face. She had never suffered like this before. Growing up, she had always been able to avoid trouble just by revealing her identity. Now that she was really in danger, she was falling apart. "Serena, what do we do? They're going to sell us. We'll die in some foreign country…""Don't be scared," Serena reassured her."I just want to go home." Mollie sobbed."Stop crying." Serena tried to comfort h
