Would Justin have sought out Serena if he hadn't been drunk?Zane stole a glance at the rearview mirror, watching Justin's shifting expressions. One moment, he was scowling; the next, grinning. It was unsettling. "Zane, didn't I tell you to find a new assistant? Still no progress?""Mr. Farrow, I've shortlisted a few suitable candidates, but you haven't had time to interview them yourself," Zane replied."Today, then. Have them come over immediately." Justin reclined in the backseat of the car, his legs crossed comfortably. He could always find a replacement for Serena. When they arrived at Farrow Corporation, Justin wasted no time arranging the interviews. Soon, the candidates gathered in his office. After all, the opportunity to work at such a prestigious company was rare. They filed into his office, lining up nervously. Two men and three women, all visibly anxious, were surprised that Justin himself was conducting the interviews. "Let's begin with introductions. One minu

Two wristwatches rested on the desk. Their intricate designs gleamed under the light, radiating a cool metallic charm that spoke of luxury.Wilson glanced at them indifferently and quipped, "Thanks, but what's the deal with gifting me a pair of watches? Are you mocking me for being single?"Jacob chuckled. "The women's watch? That's for you to give to Serena.""She won't accept it," Wilson said."Well, that's your problem." Jacob smiled before continuing, "It's a special day today. Want to grab a drink with me tonight?"Wilson picked up the watches and tucked them away. "What's so special about it? You know I don't celebrate birthdays.""Can't you make an exception for once?" Jacob clicked his tongue, though he wasn't surprised. After that incident, Wilson had sworn off acknowledging his birthday. A knock on the door interrupted them. Knuckles rapped against the wood, and after receiving permission, Serena stepped in. She nodded politely at Jacob. "Mr. Smith.""Why so formal?

During her years with the Farrows, the only elder who genuinely cared for Serena was Justin's grandmother, Beatrice Elordi. She had been in poor health for as long as Serena could remember. A few years ago, she moved into a nursing home surrounded by scenic views. Despite the distance, Beatrice never missed sending Serena a birthday gift each year. Serena stood still for a moment before ending the call.Wilson noticed her change in demeanor. "What's wrong?"Serena answered hesitantly, "Mr. Quade, something's come up. Can we take a rain check on dinner?" Beatrice's health had been declining steadily over the past two years. Serena feared this might be her last chance to see her. She couldn't bear the thought of living with that regret. But today was Wilson's birthday too, a day that only came once a year.Wilson's calm voice interrupted her thoughts. "It's alright. Where do you need to go? I'll drive you."Serena was surprised. "You're not mad?"He gripped the steering wheel

"Mrs. Farrow Senior. Mrs. Farrow."Jenna shot Serena a withering glare but offered only a curt nod in response. In stark contrast, Beatrice's face lit up with delight. "Rina, my dear! Come here. Let me take a good look at you!"Serena walked over and was immediately pulled to sit by the bedside, Beatrice's hands clasping hers gently."It's been almost a year since I last saw you. You've lost weight, haven't you?" Beatrice turned to Jenna and instructed, "Tell Leyla to make some bagels and beef ribs for Rina. She needs to eat more and put on some weight."Jenna's expression soured, her lips twitching as though she wanted to object. But before she could speak, Beatrice coughed sharply, cutting her off. With a reluctant sigh, she stood and left the room.Serena gently patted Beatrice's back. "Mrs. Farrow Senior, why are you sick again?""Oh, it's nothing—just old age catching up with me. It's nothing to worry about. Seeing you here has already made me feel a hundred times better.

After Beatrice fell asleep, Serena and Justin left the room. As soon as the door closed, Serena pulled her hand free from Justin's grasp without hesitation.His gaze darkened. "What is it? Do I disgust you that much?""The act is over. Now that Mrs. Farrow Senior is asleep, there's no need to keep pretending," she said, turning to head downstairs."Where are you going?" Justin asked while following closely."Home," Serena replied curtly. "This late? You're really going back now?" Justin asked."That's none of your concern." Serena's steps were decisive.Downstairs, Leyla Watson stood holding a tray with bagels and beef ribs. Sitting on the couch with a Pomeranian in her lap, Jenna cast Serena a mocking glance. "These are for you. Mrs. Farrow Senior asked for them. Eat up.""No need, Mrs. Farrow. I already had dinner," Serena replied politely.Jenna scoffed. "Suit yourself. You think I want an ingrate to stay in my house?""If it weren't for Mrs. Farrow Senior, I wouldn't h

Justin slammed his fist against the side of his Maybach. Pain shot through his hand.Inside the Bentley, Serena sat in the passenger seat, dabbing at her rain-soaked clothes with a handful of tissues. After a brief drive, Wilson pulled over unexpectedly. He reached into the back seat and retrieved a soft blanket before handing it to her. "Use this.""Thanks." Serena accepted the blanket and began drying her hair. When she finally set it aside, she noticed the car hadn't moved. Turning her head, she found Wilson resting one hand on the steering wheel, watching her with an air of casual amusement. She froze mid-motion. "Mr. Quade?""Serena, you're not quite like the rumors suggest," he said, his voice laced with humor. "They say you're hopelessly in love with Justin. But looking at you now, you've cut ties pretty cleanly."Serena's gaze dropped. "I'm still human." She had her pride and limits, and Justin had crossed them all.Wilson chuckled. "True. You're human. Justin? Maybe n

At the Farrow residence, Justin stepped out of the shower, the water finally easing the simmering frustration that had been building within him. His phone buzzed. Without thinking, he picked it up. On the other end, Candice's soft, almost pleading voice came through. "Justin, I called earlier. Why didn't you answer?""I was busy," Justin replied coldly."How's Mrs. Farrow Senior doing?" Candice asked, her tone laced with concern. "Maybe I should bring something over tomorrow and check on her." Justin pulled out a cigarette, placing it between his lips, before lowering his head to light it with a lighter. "There's no need. She wanted to see Serena, and after seeing her today, she's doing much better."Silence stretched on the other end. Before Justin could say anything, Candice's quiet sobs broke through. "Justin, does Mrs. Farrow Senior not like me? Your mom and your sister already don't. And now your grandma doesn't like me either. What did I do wrong?"Her crying made his t

The next day was the weekend. Serena had planned to try on the dresses with Wilson, but an unexpected matter required him to fly overseas that morning. He called to assure her that everything had been arranged with the person in charge, and all she needed to do was show up. Coincidentally, Lauren came by to ask her out for some shopping, so Serena decided to bring her along.The person assigned to assist her was Monique Olston, a mixed-race woman renowned in the fashion industry. Not only was she the brand's agent in Nocturna, but she also owned a prominent fashion magazine company that had featured countless celebrities and artists. The moment Monique saw Serena, she exclaimed, "Ms. Judd, you're stunning! You outshine most actresses I've worked with!"Serena responded with a modest smile, but Lauren beamed with pride. "Well, what can I say? My dear Serena is just that gorgeous. As her best friend, I'm honored to bask in her glow."Serena sighed helplessly, but Lauren leaned in,

Serena turned to leave, but Shawn followed closely behind. "Serena, you're damaged goods now. After all those years with Justin, you walked away with nothing. Come with me, and I'll pay you 30 thousand dollars a month.""Get lost!" Serena snapped."50 thousand, then? Or do you think you're worth a hundred?" His smirk widened as he leaned closer, his voice dripping with mockery. "Fine, a hundred it is. But I'll expect something a little… spicier. Think you can handle that?"A sharp slap echoed through the room as Serena's hand connected with his face. "I'm warning you—stay away from me! There are cameras here, and if you don't leave now, I'll report you for harassment!"Shawn's expression darkened, a sinister glint in his eyes. "Feisty, aren't you? You think I'm scared of that?"He grabbed her wrist, his grip tightening menacingly. Before he could make another move, a commanding voice cut through the tension. "What do you think you're doing?" Lauren appeared, dressed in a sleek b

Seeing Justin like this, a wave of insecurity washed over Candice as panic flickered in her gaze. She clung to him and said with false innocence, "Wasn't that Serena just now? Being pretty must have its perks. It's one thing for Mr. Quade to back her up, but now it looks like she's got herself a new admirer, too."When Justin made no reply, Candice gripped his hand and asked, "Are you alright, Justin?""I'm fine. We should get out of the car," he said hoarsely.Candice obediently stepped out of the vehicle and entered the boutique with him. Monique approached them and asked, "Now there's a surprising face. What brings you here today, Mr. Farrow?""My girlfriend needs a new dress," Justin said as he nudged Candice forward.Monique appraised Candice briefly before dishing out a few compliments. After that, she led the latter to the private fitting room. The boutique housed several large private fitting rooms, each manned by a small team of attendants.Justin did not follow Candice
