All Chapters of Too Late for Forgiveness: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

After the barbecue, everyone eagerly pitched in to clean up. They washed the dishes, tidied up Serena's small apartment, and had everything spotless in no time. Aaron even rolled up his sleeves and helped wipe down the table.The only one who stayed seated was Wilson. He casually leaned back in his chair, watching the stock market trends on his phone.Willow muttered, "Wilson's something else. He couldn't even make an effort in front of Serena. How could he just sit there like a king while everyone else cleans? He's completely oblivious."Lauren immediately fired back, "You don't get it, do you? Mr. Quade is busy. He's managing multimillion-dollar deals, and you want him to mop the floor? I think you're the one who's clueless."Willow laughed wryly. "Seriously? A watch is all it takes to win you over? You're his little lackey now."Lauren grinned. "Hey, not just anyone gets to be Mr. Quade's lackey. If I can, it's because I earned it."Willow rolled her eyes.The apartment was s

Candice asked, "Justin, why did you stop eating?""You don't need to bring me food anymore," Justin said, setting down his spoon. "You should focus on your own things. Didn't you already settle on opening a bakery? How's that going?""I've been keeping an eye on it," Candice replied quickly. The shop is brand new, so I took it over directly. The franchise has also been finalized and should open in a few days."Justin raised an eyebrow. "That fast?""Of course, mainly because of your support. With the funding in place, everything's moving quickly," Candice replied, leaning in to grab his arm.Then, she asked, "Justin, if the bakery opens in three days, can you come? I'm a bit nervous about handling it alone."Justin glanced at his schedule and noted that he was free that day. "Sure," he said.…That night, Nocturna experienced a heavy downpour. After the rain, the temperature dropped by several degrees.While out buying groceries, Serena heard the faint sound of a cat meowing f

Wilson remained unmoved."What are you all standing there for? Escort Ms. Jenkins out."The bodyguards immediately stepped in, swiftly escorting Yvonne out of the office.It wasn't until she was back in her Porsche that Yvonne regained some of her composure. She shakily took out her phone and dialed a number.As soon as the call connected, Yvonne couldn't hold back her anger. "Simon, your son is in trouble! Shawn's been kidnapped by that wicked Wilson! Do you know that?"Simon's voice was surprisingly calm. "Wilson has already informed me about this."Yvonne was taken aback. "You knew?""This is Shawn's fault. He took Wilson's people for no reason and still has yet to learn his lesson. How do you think Wilson feels about that?" Simon replied. "Why did he have to provoke Wilson of all people? Now, Wilson's going to send him off to Westeros, and there's nothing I can do about it!"Yvonne shouted in frustration, "Are you seriously saying that? He's your son!"Simon was also angry

Just as Serena was about to step outside, Lauren stormed in, grabbed her by the arm, and dragged her out in a rush."I knew there was something fishy about all these people showing up! Scumstin is here playing knight in shining armor for that bimbo. Ugh, I should've brought some rotten eggs today to throw at these two!"As Serena was dragged outside, she saw the commotion across the street. A throng of people had gathered in front of the new cake shop, but a group of bodyguards had cordoned off a large space in the middle.Justin, dressed in a light gray suit, stood beside Candice, holding scissors for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. They looked harmonious and picture-perfect, drawing the attention of the gathered crowd and cameras. Photographers clicked away nonstop, while a few journalists attempted to ask questions, only to be silenced by a single sharp glance from Justin.Lauren sneered. "Look at that Scumstin. Back when he was with you, he wouldn't show his face in public even

"We saw Mr. Farrow come up, so we thought we should stop by to say hello," George said.Lara added, "That's right, we're going to be family, after all. Why are you so nervous?"Justin finally spoke, "Family?"Candice immediately said, "Dad, Mom, I have some matters to discuss with Justin. Could you step out for a moment?"She pulled George and Lara aside and gave them a look. The two left somewhat reluctantly.Candice sat down beside Justin awkwardly and said, "My parents can be a bit too friendly and straightforward. Please don't mind them, Justin."She had planned to make sure she had Justin firmly in her grasp before introducing him to her parents. However, when George and Lara learned that Candice would be at the cake shop, they took it upon themselves to show up uninvited. Now, they had even met Justin. Candice could only hope they hadn't said anything inappropriate earlier.Justin leaned back onto the couch and asked, "Why were there so many reporters today?"Candice repl
