Chapter 341

Sunny suggested, "You should call Sonia and console her. She must be upset with you after you put your date on hold.""Yeah," Harvey agreed and dialed Sonia's number, but she did not pick up. He scratched his head and said exasperatedly, "She's probably angry right now. Ah, forget it. I'll talk to her tomorrow."Zoey tugged on Harvey's sleeve and urged, "Come on, we've got photos to go through in the studio."The duo bantered as they got into the car and sped off. Sunny watched as they disappeared into the distance, frowning. "Sonia deserves an award for putting up with all this.""Mm-hmm," Damian responded noncommittally."If I have to be honest, I don't think Zoey's a good fit for the studio… What do you think, Damian?" Sunny asked.Originally, Damian, Harvey, and Sunny had agreed to partner up and set up a studio. But then Harvey got Zoey involved, claiming they'd been friends since they were children and that she loved photography, too. He also insisted she was "one of the bo

Chapter 342

Serena's patisserie had been overwhelmed with business since its opening, and she was kept on her feet by several huge orders that came in consecutively. Whenever Wilson called her, she always responded with a quick and blunt "I'm busy".Wilson gritted his teeth. "Serena, which is your priority here—me or your patisserie?""The patisserie. Will you stop being so childish?" Serena countered, refusing to indulge in his childish temper.Wilson was so angry by her answer that he hung up. A moment later, he called her again and asked, in a considerably less domineering tone, "Am I your second priority after the patisserie, then?""Yes, you are," Serena replied exasperatedly."Okay. Carry on with your business," Wilson said.Serena fell silent. He was surprisingly good at comforting himself.After meeting with a wealthy woman to discuss a patisserie order that day, Serena suddenly recalled that Mollie was staying in the hospital just around the corner and decided to make a quick detou

Now that Serena had stopped loving him, Justin realized just how little he meant to her. "Are you leaving?"Serena said, "I only came to make sure Mollie was all right.""Wait—" Justin hurriedly stopped her from leaving. "Candice is kept under my watch. When I return, I'll hand her over to the police, along with the evidence of her crimes. She'll either be jailed for life or sentenced to death.""She deserves it," Serena pointed out icily. "I've got a shop to run. Bye."With that, she turned to leave.Justin did not take his eyes off her. He stood unmoving at the door long after she left.Mollie leaned against her pillow and snorted. "Are you going to stand there gawking after Serena all day? You know she's gone, right?"Justin entered the room. "I'm surprised not even food can shut you up.""I'm speaking the truth! You didn't appreciate Serena until she left, so your regret is too little, too late, don't you think? Stop having any funny ideas about her, Justin. She has Wilson

Candice started screaming in the BMW. She was trapped in the driver's seat, and the doors on either side had been wrecked so badly that she couldn't open them.It didn't take long for the police to arrive and forcefully haul her out of the damaged car.Justin approached the officers on duty, and after briefly exchanging pleasantries with them, he gave them the evidence of Candice's crimes.When Candice was hauled away, blood was dripping from her forehead, and her face was as pale as a sheet. She stared at Serena hatefully, bitter resentment written on her face. But Serena was surprised Candice did not lash out at her and instead cracked a hysterical laugh in Justin's direction."Why bother pretending to be a knight in shining armor now? You left Serena first, remember? Did you think she'd care even if you risked your life to save her? Serves you right, Justin! You will never be with Serena in this lifetime!" Candice seethed maniacally.Justin resisted the urge to throttle her on

Wilson scoffed. "You said I was sharp-tongued, yet you're the first to draw blood."Serena glared at him. "You know I was right."A small smile curved Wilson's lips as he agreed, "You described me perfectly."The S-class continued down the road and pulled up outside Serena's patisserie. Wilson unfastened her seatbelt for her but did not move from the driver's seat. She stared at him questioningly. "Don't you want to take a look at my patisserie?""No." He crossed his arms and drawled, "Apparently, I'm sharp-tongued and petty. I wouldn't want to offend any of your customers and cause you to lose business."Serean eyed him speechlessly. She should have known he would hold that remark against her. She said, "Wait here.""Oh, am I supposed to do as you ask? Where's my agency?" Wilson countered wryly."Just stay put, will you?" Serena turned to enter her patisserie after that. When she returned, she was amused to find Wilson's car still parked in the same spot. Nonetheless, she kept

Desiree sat across from Dorothy, sipping coffee as a faint smile curved her lips. "You shouldn't have to go to such trouble for my private affairs and play the bad guy, Dorothy.""Bad guy? Far from it! I'm simply standing up for what is right. You'd be dating Wilson by now if it weren't for Serena. Everyone in our circle knows you and Wilson have been friends since childhood."Also, he owes your family a life debt." Dorothy frowned. "But I'm surprised Wilson, of all people, would fall for a tramp like Serena. Doesn't he know you're the only one good enough for him?"A bitter laugh escaped Desiree. She sighed in resignation and said, "Trust me, it caught me off guard, too. I nearly lost my memory because of him, but he had no problem leaving me for another woman.""Don't worry, Desiree. I'll teach Serena a lesson for being a man-stealer!" Dorothy promised."I know Serena has questionable morals, but try not to be impulsive when dealing with her. She means a lot to Wilson, and the l

In the Nielson residence's backyard, Serena noted that Dorothy had not shown up even though 15 minutes had passed. Just as she rose to leave, a female silhouette slowly approached them.Dorothy crossed her arms, her pink coat wrapped tightly around her as she came up to Serena and Joanna. Behind her trailed several housekeepers. From the looks of it, she hadn't come to discuss a business deal but to pick a fight with Serena. "So, you're Serena?"Serena looked placid as she answered, "Yes. May I know why you had me come over today, Ms. Nielson?"Dorothy made no reply and openly appraised Serena. She had to admit, Serena was stunning. She had the makings of a bona fide seductress, which explained why Wilson was so beguiled that he'd leave Desiree for her."I told you I wanted to order cakes," Dorothy finally snapped. She turned and sank into the rocking chair behind her, looking nonchalant as she drawled, "Go on, tell me all about your shop and your baking selection. I'll decide if y

Seeing that they'd reached an impasse, Serena whipped out her phone to call the police. Dorothy panicked at the sight of this and immediately ordered the housekeepers to snatch Serena's phone away.The pair of housekeepers earlier moved toward Serena. During the scuffle, Serena's watch unclasped and cluttered to the ground.She was about to pick it up when Dorothy beat her to it. With lightning speed, she scooped the watch into her palm and mocked, "Goodness, what an expensive watch! I doubt someone of your level could afford it. Where'd you steal it from?"Joanna bit out angrily, "Serena's boyfriend got it for her!""Boyfriend? Is that what you've been telling everyone, Serena? You should be ashamed. You know as well as I do how you and your boyfriend became a thing!" Dorothy sneered.Serena finally understood Dorothy's hostility. "Do you have a problem with me dating Wilson?"Joanna's eyes widened in disbelief. "Goodness, you have a crush on Mr. Quade?""Shut up! I'm not so sh

Serena and Joanna had only just left the backyard when they ran into two men headed in their direction. One was Peter Nielson, Dorothy's father, while the man trailing him was none other than Wilson.Serena's eyes widened in surprise. "What are you doing here?"Wilson leveled a thoughtful look at her before amusement filled his gaze."I could ask you the same thing. What are you doing at the Nielson residence? While we're at it…" He glanced at Dorothy, who resembled a drowned rat as she came up behind Serena. "How did you get into such a curious predicament?"Peter was baffled by Dorothy's soaked and miserable state. "Dory, what on earth did you get up to?""I-I fell in the pool," Dorothy admitted sheepishly. She stomped her foot and glowered at Serena as she whined, "Dad, you won't believe what happened to me! I told this woman, Serena Judd, to come over for a business meeting, but she was rude to me the entire time and deliberately let me fall in the pool!"Peter looked at Sere

Dorothy ground out stubbornly, "But I was stating facts! Desiree and Mr. Quade would have been together if Serena hadn't come between them! She's a man-stealer!"Peter's gaze darkened as he eyed his daughter mutinously. Wilson, however, chuckled. "Who told you Desiree and I would be a thing?""Everyone's been saying it!" Dorothy insisted."Everyone? I'll need names," Wilson pointed out coolly. Dorothy stiffened when she heard this and racked her brain for names. Whatever she'd heard about Desiree and Wilson had been through the grapevine, and they were an occasional topic among the heiresses during afternoon tea.However, the rumors and presumptions that Desiree and Wilson were a couple came from Desiree herself.In hindsight, Desiree was always talking about how close she and Wilson were and how he treated her differently than he did other women. She claimed they'd known each other for ages and constantly brought up the debt he owed her family.In short, Desiree made it sound
