Chapter 51

Justin had wanted to retort like he previously did, but he changed his mind. "You're single. Stop giving me lectures."The charity gala ended. As a feast was served on the long table, everyone raised their glasses and started to mingle.Wilson sat with a few CEOs to talk business while Serena wandered off to grab her favorite seafood.Her gaze drifted occasionally to the entrance, but Lauren was nowhere to be seen. How odd! Lauren was always the most eager and enthusiastic when it came to networking, but she seemed to be missing.A snarky voice rang in her ears. "Serena Judd, you're something else."Lynn approached Serena, her high heels clicking. "I was surprised when you readily left Justin. Turns out it's because you've snagged yourself a richer man."Without bothering to look at Lynn, Serena replied, "Do you have nothing better to talk about than relationships?""Drop your act! I saw the way you look at Wilson when you were dancing just now." Lynn smiled mockingly. "You'd be

Candice's eyes widened in disbelief. "Me?"She shook her head. "I didn't do anything."Wilson clicked his tongue. "I have no interest in your poor acting. Why don't you apologize to Serena right now?"Color drained from Candice's face. At that moment, a towering figure appeared before her. She immediately latched onto Justin's sleeve as though holding onto her last string of hope. "Justin, I didn't do it…"Tears rolled down her cheek as she whined pitifully.Justin stared at Wilson grimly. "Why are you giving my girlfriend a hard time in front of everyone?""Did I?" Wilson sneered. "I can't be bothered to waste my time on your girlfriend. I would rather spend that time securing a few major business deals. You think too highly of your girlfriend, Justin."Wilson went straight to the point. "There are security cameras everywhere. Well, the one near us is a little tilted, but I'm sure it captured the incident. Why don't we review the footage to confirm if Candice had deliberately

Wilson squinted like a sly fox. "The manager told me this was a blind spot, but it's all good now because Candice has admitted to it."Candice looked like she was struck by lightning. She dug her nails into her palm, feeling like she had been played.Once Wilson left with Serena, Candice had to endure the looks she received. Yet, no one dared criticize her because she was dating Justin. Still, the looks in their eyes made their feelings clear.Even Mollie couldn't take it. She stomped and complained, "How embarrassing!"Then, she left with Lynn.Candice tried her best to regain her composure. Turning to Justin, she began, "Justin…"She was surprised to find him scrutinizing her. "Justin, do you not trust me?"All he said was, "The event's about to end. I'll have someone drive you home."Her face paled. She muttered, "I-I need to use the restroom."…The ragged breathing of a man and the erotic moans of a woman filled the air of a dimly lit lounge on the second floor.Jacob t

Serena checked out her look in the restroom mirror. She carefully dabbed at a tiny wine stain on her dress with a tissue.Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from outside, and Candice walked in."Serena?" Candice's face showed surprise, only to be quickly replaced by anger.She had originally gone to the restroom downstairs, but the judgmental stares from a group of socialites had made her feel so uncomfortable that she came to the second floor instead.To her dismay, she ran into Serena—the person she despised most.Candice walked up to her, her voice low. "Serena, you must be feeling pretty smug right now, huh?""Are you talking about that incident with Lynn?" Serena turned off the faucet, her voice calm. "You brought that on yourself.""You got lucky this time." Candice glared at her. Suddenly, she put on a smug smirk."So what if I bumped into Lynn on purpose? As long as Justin believes me, that's all that matters. Oh, by the way, I've decided to start a bakery. In a few

Justin turned to look at Candice and led her to the door.Zane was already waiting in the Maybach, with Justin's younger siblings, Damian and Mollie, occupying the backseat.Justin gestured toward Candice."You leave first.""Justin, what about you?" Candice asked."I have something to take care of," he replied.Hearing this, Mollie immediately objected, "Why does she get to ride in the same car as us? I don't want to be in the same car as her! Being near a woman who pulled such underhanded tactics is a total embarrassment!"Already annoyed, Justin snapped at Mollie, "Get out of the car, then!"Mollie's face turned pale. She angrily pulled Damian out of the car with her, storming off to hop into Lynn's car instead.Candice widened her eyes in hopeful anticipation after Justin seemingly stood up for her."Justin, you believe me, right?"With a pitiful expression, she pleaded, "I really didn't mean to bump into Lynn earlier. You know how clumsy I am. I was nervous about coming

Wilson asked, "Did she not come downstairs?"Justin answered, "No."Hearing this, Wilson's expression shifted a little. He had waited upstairs for a while, but Serena never showed up, and she wasn't answering her phone. Thinking she might have gone downstairs first, he headed down, only to find no sign of her there either.Justin sensed that something was wrong and quickly stepped forward. "Where did you take Serena?"Wilson ignored him and made a call. Then, he summoned the hall manager. "I'm looking for someone important. Get me all the security footage after 8:40 pm tonight."The manager looked troubled. "Mr. Quade, this is Mr. Cohen's property. I'm afraid—""I've talked to him. Call him to confirm if you don't believe me, but before that, please let me access your control room." Despite sounding cool, Wilson came across as authoritative. "Please lead the way.""Sure."Wilson followed the manager to the control room. At the same time, he sent his men to search the hall.Jus

Besides, there was a massive garden outside the hall. It could take forever if they searched for Serena cluelessly.Wilson first needed to figure out who had put a target on Serena. Once he had a lead, finding Serena would be much easier.Just as he was feeling agitated, he suddenly noticed a lavishly dressed woman standing in the hall and talking on the phone.Wilson's gaze narrowed. "Yvonne?"Yvonne Jenkins noticed him at the same time and immediately smiled. "Oh, Wilson! I haven't seen you in a while."Yvonne was Shawn's mother. She had married Simon Quade, but the couple later divorced due to some marital conflicts.Yvonne had taken on Simon's last name after marriage, and she spoiled her son rotten. That was why Shawn acted like a rascal.Wilson squinted doubtfully. A sudden thought flashed through his mind. He walked down the stairs slowly. "Yvonne, are you looking for Shawn?""Yes, that boy disappeared right after the event ended. He's not answering his phone, either. I

Serena rubbed her wrist and slowly stood up.Gritting her teeth, she straddled Shawn without hesitation.Shawn's eyes lit up with surprise. "Well, well, I didn't expect you to be so bold. I like it."Suppressing her disgust, Serena reached out to unbutton Shawn's shirt. He leaned back slightly against the couch, his breathing unsteady, and squinted at her."Hurry up!"Serena's gaze turned icy. Her hand slowly reached for the side table where an ashtray was placed.The moment she grabbed the ashtray, she swung it down hard toward Shawn without hesitation.But just as the ashtray was about to strike him, a sudden force yanked her away. Serena's hand slipped, and the ashtray struck Shawn's shoulder instead.As she tried to get up from the ground, Shawn forcefully stomped on her hand with a streak of madness in his eyes."Damn it! I knew you were up to no good, but I didn't think you'd have the guts to attack me!"Enraged, he kicked Serena hard in the stomach. She groaned. It f

Jacob listened intently, but he heard nothing."Wilson, I know you're worried, but be prepared. If Shawn didn't take Serena away, we'll need to calm down and look for new leads."Wilson found traces of Shawn in the security footage in the hall. After the event ended, he saw Shawn driving out of the parking lot.Shawn left with his plus-one. The bodyguard behind him was carrying a huge black luggage.Shawn didn't drive far. He found a five-star hotel nearby and immediately checked in.There was a possibility of Serena being stuffed into that luggage, but it wasn't confirmed.Wilson shoved Justin's hand away and spoke with conviction, "Serena's calling for me."He quickened his pace, heading straight to the presidential suite where Shawn was staying.Outside the suite, two bodyguards stood watch. They froze for a moment when they saw Wilson."Hi, Mr. Quade.""Open up," ordered Wilson unfeelingly.The two guards hesitated, clearly nervous, but one mustered the courage to say, "

The room was dimly lit, and the floor was in complete disarray. On the large bed in the center of the room, Shawn pinned Serena down with one hand grabbing her head and the other tearing the fabric off her body.Wilson's expression changed drastically, and an air of brutal hostility enveloped him. Jacob, too, was stunned."Kayden, stay outside the door with them!" Jacob ordered before swiftly shutting the door.Shawn's countenance turned grim as he slowly loosened his grips. In the face of absolute disadvantage, one often gained clarity and remained calm.He pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and hung it over his lips. "You got here early, Uncle Wilson. Had you arrived just a little later, I could've bedded her. You know, you should've—"Wilson strode forward and delivered a punch to his face. Then, he picked up the fallen cigarette and pressed the butt against his arm.A painful scream escaped Shawn's lips.After tossing him aside, Wilson removed his coat as he walked toward Seren
