Chapter 41

Candice stopped short when Justin, who was on the phone, shushed her with a finger. He listened to what the person on the other line had to say, then replied warmly, "Alright, I'll go over in a bit."After ending the call, he turned to look at Candice. He frowned at the dress she was wearing and said, "Change into something else. That looks terrible on you."Candice was so furious she could have combusted on the spot.…When they left the boutique, Justin did not go home but instead went to a high-end restaurant.Baffled, Candice asked, "What are we doing here, Justin?""My cousin's home, and my family is throwing him a homecoming party here. I'll have Zane drop you home," Justin explained.Candice knew Jenna didn't like her very much, so she did not insist on staying.At that moment, Jessica exited the restaurant. She was dressed in a professional-looking ensemble, and her eyes glittered when she saw Justin. "Mr. Farrow! Your mother and the rest of your family have settled int

Justin answered frostily, "Serena has left Farrow Corporation and no longer has anything to do with our family."Damian was about to press for more details when Mollie shot him a warning look. He wisely kept his mouth shut.Everyone began to dig into the food, making small talk with one another. Damian quickly tugged on Joseph's sleeve and asked, "Joseph, did something happen between Serena and Justin?""It's a long story," Joseph replied. With a sigh, he gave Damian a brief run-down of Serena and Justin's fallout.Damian's eyes flashed with interest. "So, what you're saying is, there's no way Serena and Justin will ever get together?""Pretty much. Justin's already seeing someone else, and Serena seemed to have made up her mind. I don't think they'd speak anytime soon, let alone date each other," Joseph pointed out.Upon hearing this, Damian held his wine glass by its stem and lowered his gaze in thought. A small smile curved his lips as he considered what Joseph told him.Half

Serena's hunch was right—something was going on between Lauren and her boss. She drew close to Lauren and said, "Show me a picture of him.""I don't know why you're so interested. He's not exactly handsome," Lauren grumbled even as she picked up her phone and pulled up a picture of her boss. "His name is Aaron Zimmers. I'd say he's around 30, and he took over the company from his father."In any case, he's got more money than I do."Serena took the phone and assessed the man in the photo. "He looks pretty decent to me. Kind of gentle-mannered, if you ask me.""That's great and all, but he's got nothing on Wilson," Lauren pointed out.Serena teased, "I think he'd be a good match for you, Laurie."Lauren hissed when the knife sliced across her fingertip. Blood beaded from the cut and rolled down her finger. Panicking, she quickly hid her hand behind her back and checked Serena's expression."Serena, maybe you should leave the kitchen until I've cleaned myself up…" she suggested, k

Surprised, Serena took a step back and said, "No, Mr. Quade, you shouldn't have…"She was starting to think that Wilson's kindness toward her was motivated by romantic feelings. Justin had hurt her too deep for her to even consider dating anyone, and she had no idea how she would face Wilson if he turned out to have feelings for her."It's just a box of chocolates. Why are you getting worked up all of a sudden?" Wilson asked, the cigarette dangling from his lips.As if reading her thoughts, he added for good measure, "I got them from the souvenir shop at the airport. Think of it as a token of thanks for celebrating my birthday. I got one for Jacob, too."He handed Serena the box of chocolates, and only then did she heave a sigh of relief. He did not leave after she took the box and instead asked, "Monique told me you ran into Shawn while you were trying on dresses at the boutique today. Is it true that he gave you trouble?""Yeah, but he backed off after Monique name-dropped you,"

Serena looked so stunning that Wilson fell speechless. He was suddenly seized with a primal urge to kiss her.…Meanwhile, Justin was sipping champagne in a resplendent banquet hall somewhere in Nocturna, occasionally glancing at the entrance. Several guests came up to him in hopes of making small talk, but he dismissed them after briefly humoring them.Candice could tell Justin's mind was far away. She pursed her lips as she looped her arm through his. "What a crowd, Justin. I don't know any of these people. Care to introduce me to some of them?"The Farrows were never ones to initiate small talk with other members of high society. It was always the other way around, and Justin was always their target. Unfortunately, Candice did not understand this unspoken rule.Justin pointed out with forced patience, "If you want to get acquainted with the other heiresses and socialites, have Mollie hook you up. I wouldn't know what young ladies talk about these days." He then turned to beckon

The crowd watched as a striking couple entered the hall.The man boasted a towering height, his tailored black suit accentuating his refinement and handsome features.The woman on his arm had the kind of beauty that kings would wage wars over. She wore a burgundy dress hugging her perfect figure. Her ruby necklace drew attention to her chiseled collarbones. She was dazzling, yet also surprisingly familiar."Is that Serena? How is that possible?" Lynn asked incredulously.Mollie and Candice couldn't hide their bewilderment, either.Standing nearby, Justin could feel his composure slipping away. He had expected Serena to show up, but he didn't think she would look so stunning. She was a vision, one that made the other socialites and ladies of leisure pale in comparison.He had forgotten how beautiful she was in the first place. There was a time when such a beauty had belonged only to him!Bitterness and resentment welled up in him at the thought. He was starting to regret kicking

"A good heart, huh?" Wilson returned Damian's card to Serena as something flashed in his eyes. He had caught Damian looking at Serena like she lit up his world.The sound of glass shattering cut through the hall, and everyone turned toward the noise. Wilson and Serena glanced over their shoulders to see a man with salt-and-pepper hair glowering at an indifferent Jacob, wine and shards of glass littered by his feet.Noticing everyone's stares, Jacob smiled at the older man and said, "Now, Dad, it's one thing to smash up wine glasses, but to throw a fit like that could shave years off your life."David Smith snapped, "I don't need your false concern!"Wilson led Serena toward the father-and-son duo, grabbing a glass of wine from the tray of a nearby attendant and handing it to David. His courteous tone belied the warning in his eyes as he said, "Now, Mr. Smith, surely your tantrums are better reserved for days when we aren't at a charity gala."David was silent for a few seconds bef

Wilson explained, "Jacob's mom was David's first wife. When Jacob was four, David threw him and his mom out of the family and remarried within a month. As a result, Marcus Smith, David's youngest son, was born."David had planned on letting Marcus take over the family business, but Marcus was a lost cause. On top of being talentless, he also got into fights. He broke his leg during a recent racing incident and is now receiving treatment abroad."Wilson continued emotionlessly, "Several years ago, Smith Group ran into a crisis. David's ailing health kept him from handling it, and with a few senior directors pressuring him, he had no choice but to call Jacob in for help."So while Jacob looked like he was inheriting his birthright, he was actually made to straighten out the company's mess."A wry smile curved Wilson's lips as he concluded, "I reckon David and Jacob never had much of a father-son relationship, to begin with. So, no, they don't get along at all. If Marcus had lived up

"You've got it," Lauren said as she took Serena by the hand and led her away from Justin."Serena, are you only avoiding me because you still care about me?" Justin asked icily, assessing Serena shrewdly as if he could see through her. "If you're really over me, you should treat me like any other guest and talk to me openly instead of hiding from me."Lauren rolled her eyes. "Imagine how busy one would be if one had to make small talk with everyone at a party! Mr. Farrow, did you ever think that Rina isn't so much avoiding you as she doesn't think you are worthy of her time? Must I spell that out for you?"Justin's eyes were like chips of ice. "You certainly have a death wish, don't you, Lauren?"Lauren was about to retort when Aaron stopped her. "Just drop it already. He's not someone you can afford to cross.""Not like I haven't crossed him already! I may as well give him a piece of my mind while I'm at it," Lauren snapped.Serena interjected, "Laurie, this isn't the time for y

Serena saw Wilson walking out when she arrived at the entrance. She smiled at him."Mr. Quade, why did you leave?""It's dance time. I'm looking for a dance partner." He reached out to Serena and bowed like a gentleman. "Ms. Judd, may I?"She slowly placed her hand in his. They made their way to the dance floor.Not far away, Justin shot them an icy glare. He was about to approach them when Candice took his arm.Looking eager, she said, "Justin, let's dance."He gave it some thought and went to the dance floor with Candice in tow.The lights in the brightly lit hall dimmed. When music started to fill the air, men danced with their partners.Wilson put his hand on Serena's waist. He could feel the slight burn on his palm.He looked down at her face, focusing on her nose and traveling south toward her rosy lips.Whenever he lowered his head, he smelled a whiff of light fragrance that did not seem to come from a perfume. It was just how she smelled like.The look in his eyes de
