Chapter 401

Serena opened it and found a beautiful scarf from a luxury brand.Smiling, Gwen said, "Serena, I don't have many friends in Nocturna, and you're one of them. I get along quite well with you, but I'll be moving away soon. I can't really bear to leave you.""You may visit Nocturna in the future. Once your mother recovers, bring her along.""I hope so." Gwen sighed. "I was packing today. I've decided not to bring along the pretty ornaments I've collected, but it would be a pity to throw them away."Serena, would you like to take a look at them and see if any of them would be suitable for you?"Serena agreed, "Sure."After organizing the details for the banquet the next day, Serena left with Gwen. On the way, they chatted happily. When they almost reached, Gwen jumped into a supermarket and bought some groceries."Serena, would you like to have dinner at my place? I'm a good cook."Serena wanted to turn down the invitation, but Gwen grabbed her arm. "Come on, I'll prepare my best d

"Her face was once my nightmare and haunted me for years. But she remembered nothing of my misery. This is so unfair," Gwen said."Is that why you threw away the graduation photo?" Serena asked."Yeah. I didn't have the guts to look at this photo in the past, but I think I've accepted it now. It's all over, so I decided to throw it out." A smile tinged Gwen's lips."After spending so much time healing from that trauma, I can't allow myself to fall back into that painful past again." Suddenly, Serena paced over to her and hugged her gently.Gwen was stunned, and Serena patted her back softly. "I'm sorry. I don't know how I should comfort you. In my opinion, you're especially outstanding and radiant. I think you're a million times better than Desiree."All of a sudden, Gwen was a little choked up. "But… I'm not as great as you think."Patting her back, Serena was about to speak when her cellphone started ringing. It was a call from Wilson. She answered and hung up after saying a

Wilson wasn't surprised at Serena's answer at all. "I told you to stay away from Gwen for this reason. My men found out that your kidnapping case is connected to the Stone family, and Gwen knows Desiree. Maybe she's working for the Stones.""Desiree?" Serena was surprised."What's wrong?" Wilson asked."Gwen was bullied by Desiree in the past. They aren't on the best of terms with each other." Gwen's tipsy face appeared in Serena's mind. "I don't think she was lying. Wilson, why do you think Gwen would work for Desiree when she has so much resentment for her?"Wilson answered calmly, "Just because she works for Desiree doesn't mean that she's on her side."He spun the wheel with one hand. "If you want someone to work for you, not only do you need to convince them, but there are also thousands of other ways. We just don't know which method Desiree applied."Serena balled her fists. "Maybe it's not Gwen. She's leaving Nocturna soon. Maybe… everything is just a misunderstanding."

Wilson's voice was laced with pride. "When David was alive, you were forced to keep your relationship with Natasha a secret. She could understand your reason for doing that. Now that you can have an open relationship with her, you asked her to be your mistress instead."Those are two different situations. Do you get it now?"For a few seconds, Jacob was taken aback. Then, he cursed in a low voice, "Damn it."Now that Wilson mentioned it, that seemed to make sense. Where did Wilson learn all these from? It would be tough to give Natasha a proper status. Dating her for now was not an issue, but it never crossed Jacob's mind to marry her.His future wife had to be someone who could benefit Smith Group. On the other hand, Natasha had nothing."You have guests," Wilson said suddenly.Turning his head to look, Jacob saw Justin and Damian in black suits with flowers in their hands."Hello, Justin. Hello, Damian." Jacob approached them, surprised to see Justin here.Although he was c

Two days later, a light snowfall dusted over Nocturna and froze the city overnight. Dressed in a thick fleece jacket, Gwen arrived at Quade Group early in the morning. Today would be her last day of work handover, and she would leave the company once it was completed.On the way, she received several calls. Although the number wasn't saved, she knew who was calling her, so she silenced her cellphone.At the CEO's office, she was about to finish with the remaining handover when Elena said, "Ms. Beckham, Mr. Quade is waiting for you inside.""Alright."Gwen knocked on the door and entered after receiving Wilson's approval.There was no one else in the spacious office. In the middle of the room was a dark-colored leather couch, and Wilson was lounging on it, wearing a black button-down shirt. His sleeves were rolled up, and the collar buttons were undone, revealing his collarbones.Gwen stood still. "Did you ask for me, Mr. Quade?" "I did." Lowering his head, Wilson lit a cigare

Gwen thought that Serena would be mad and disappointed at her. However, Serena was composed, and there weren't any signs of resentment on her face at all.Instead, she said calmly, "Were you forced to do it?"Serena swept her composed gaze over Gwen. "Gwen, why are you working for Desiree?""Does it matter?""It does." Serena looked at her. "I want to help you.""Are you crazy, Serena Judd? I wanted to harm you before this! I wanted to kill you!" Gwen lost her composure, and tears stumbled out of her reddened eyes. "I'm sorry…" "I know that the Stones aren't as decent as they appear to be. If you know anything, you can tell us. Will you trust us?"Wilson's brows shot up slightly at Serena's words. This was the first time he saw someone talking to an enemy so kindly.It seemed that Serena was concerned about Gwen, so he decided to let her do as she wanted. Whatever happened afterward, he'd be there to take care of it.Wiping away her tears, Gwen smiled weakly. "It's useless.

"Gwen should be punished for her mistakes, but I feel sorry about her situation." Serena felt a mix of emotions.Suddenly, her cellphone beeped; it was a text from Gwen. "Serena, thank you. I lied to you. My mother already passed away a month ago, and I have no other concerns anymore. If it were possible, I wish I had known you earlier."Serena's heart pounded, and a bad premonition rose in her. She called Gwen's number, but nobody picked up. "Wilson, I think something is wrong."Wilson read the text message and made a call. The other end of the line said something, and Wilson replied curtly."Gwen went to Desiree's studio.""Let's go and look for her!"…Desiree had just closed a big deal with a client, walking the client out with all smiles. Dressed in a white business suit, she wore an elegant smile that made her look like a well-brought-up socialite.Even her client couldn't help but praise, "That's what I'd expect of a top socialite, Ms. Stone. Not only are you beautiful
