Penulis: Arlo Drake
"Then… Then what should we do?" Lara asked.

Candice spoke in a low voice. "Act like you don't know anything. Also, get rid of the phone you used to contact Lucas. Just cancel the number and destroy it immediately."

Lara nodded repeatedly. "Okay, got it… You be careful too."

Then, she hurriedly hung up.

Candice gripped the steering wheel, thought for a moment, and then drove back to the hospital. For now, all she could do was wait for news.

She was certain that Lucas wouldn't betray her. As long as she didn't expose herself, she would be fine.

…

Meanwhile, Serena had a peaceful night's sleep at home. She woke up to a message from Wilson the next morning, saying the matter had been taken care of.

She immediately called him. "Mr. Quade, I still think we should report this to the police. I'm worried someone was deliberately targeting me this time."

Wilson's voice was calm and reassuring as he said, "I already reported it yesterday. That man's name is Lucas Montgomery.

    Justin walked out of his office and ordered loudly, "Tell every department to investigate thoroughly how the documents were leaked."However, Zane didn't make a move at his order."Are you deaf?" Justin asked."Mr. Farrow, the directors are already waiting for you. Y-You should take a look there."Justin turned into the conference room. All the seats were taken, and the directors wore solemn looks on their faces."Zane just briefed me about the situation earlier," Justin began. "I'll run a thorough investigation to find out exactly which documents were leaked before executing appropriate measures to salvage the situation."His words didn't help to alleviate the heaviness in the room until someone on the board said, "Mr. Farrow, the IT department already found out that the confidential documents were disclosed from your office.""My office?" Justin frowned. "What do you mean? Are you saying that I sold out the company?"Mr. Watson, do you know what you're saying? I'm the CEO of

    If this had happened in the past, Justin would never say something like that. It was only after he lost Serena that he learned to consider his partner's thoughts.Serena's departure made him realize many things.Lila sounded hesitant. "Justin, was it a huge loss to lose the tender document the last time?"Justin closed his eyes. "Although a few billion is a big loss, it's not enough to hurt the company. However, the company's financial report doesn't look good this year. So, the directors are unhappy about it."He reached out and gently held Lila's hands, which were massaging him. "Don't worry too much. I'll take care of the problems in the company.""I just don't want you to overwork. You have stomach issues.""I'll take care of my health. Recently, I've been eating my meals on time." Justin's eyes fluttered open, and he looked at her tenderly.Lila stared at him before lowering her head to kiss his lips softly, and he pulled her onto his lap.After making out for a while, he

    Trevor didn't say a thing; both he and Wilson knew that wasn't the reason.Although Jillian was disappointed in Gary, she couldn't bring herself to be completely heartless to him. If Trevor took over the reins, she knew in her heart that Gary would not end up well.Frustrated, Trevor fished out a cigarette. Just when he wanted to light it, Wilson stopped him. "Smoking is bad for health."Trevor's hand shuddered, and goosebumps appeared all over his body. Then, Wilson said to Serena in a gentle tone, "Get in the car with the driver first. I'll be there in a jiffy."Serena nodded in reply. The minute she was gone, Wilson narrowed his eyes. Only then did he take out a cigarette from his pocket, and Trevor ignited the lighter."I can't believe that you are so considerate to a woman. Wilson, I don't think I know you anymore." "Yes. If she wants, I'm willing to give her my life.""That's cheesy.""Aren't you ashamed to call me out?" Spitting out a ring of smoke, Wilson smirked fai

    Serena almost choked on her saliva and waited a couple of seconds. "Wilson, what's wrong with you?" Wilson chuckled. "Whenever I see you, this idea pops up in my mind unwittingly. Serena, you're such an amazing girl, and I can't relax until I marry you," he said and leaned in to kiss her.Suddenly, a nurse passed by them. Startled, Serena poked her elbow into his chest out of reflex.Placing a palm on his chest, Wilson knocked against the wall and grunted in pain."Alright, stop pretending." Serena rolled her eyes at him and spun around to retrieve the heated puddings.A painful look washed over Wilson's face. "I sustained a severe injury to my chest in the past, and it has left a lasting effect on me. Your elbow happened to hit my old wound," he said, hissing in pain.When he mentioned this, Serena recalled that there was an old scar on his chest."Does it hurt?" She approached him. "I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose.""Serena, are you a cow? You're so strong. Why didn't y

    Serena took out four portions of butter puddings. "The puddings are kind of cold. I'll reheat them."She turned around and walked out. A few minutes afterward, someone came in and informed Jillian that Gary and Desiree were here to visit Jillian.Without even looking up, Jillian uttered, "I don't want to see them."…Outside the inpatient department, a somber look hung on Gary's and Desiree's faces."Do you have any idea who I am? I'm here to visit my mother. What gives you the right to stop me?""Mr. Stone, this is Madam Gallagher's instruction. She said that she's not going to see you or the people you sent.""Yes, Mr. Stone. Please don't make things difficult for us."Gary's solemn expression hung even lower. What did Jillian mean by this? Even though she was unwell, she specially ordered someone to guard against him. He was her son!"Dad, since Grandma doesn't want to see us, we don't have to be nice to her only to be snubbed. In her heart, she'd rather shield Serena, th

    The winter in Nocturna was humid and cold, and it felt as though even the air was frozen.Right after stepping out of her patisserie, Serena received a call from Wilson. "Something happened to Madam Gallagher."Serena felt a tight squeeze at her chest, and a familiar face flashed in her mind. "Did you say Madam Gallagher?""Yes."Immediately, Serena was struck with anxiety. "What happened to her?""I'm coming to pick you up. Let's speak later in the car."Within ten minutes, Wilson arrived. Serena climbed in and buckled her seatbelt. "How is Madam Gallagher doing?""Today, she went to the garden after her nap and had a fall. Erina is taking care of her now, and she says that Madam Gallagher isn't doing well.""Is she badly injured from the fall?" Serena was worried. "I hope she's fine."They went to the hospital and found Jillian in the ward. She was wearing a pair of dark colored pajamas, and there was a bruise on her forehead. Besides this, there was no other visible injury

    Jessica dared not linger in the office. She turned and staggered out the door.Justin pressed a palm against his forehead. He'd asked Zane to hire a new assistant, but the few candidates that turned up were not a good fit for the company. In the end, Justin found himself retaining Jessica.But he never expected Jessica to make such a catastrophic mistake or for her to blame others for it when he confronted her. It was despicable behavior, to say the least!Lila hooked her fingers around Justin's and asked, "Justin, is the company in trouble or something?""Hmm... It's a small loss, but nothing the company can't handle." Justin reached out to caress Lila's hair. "It's your birthday tomorrow. I've made a reservation at a restaurant to celebrate.""Okay." Lila's eyes sparkled, and she rose on her tiptoes to kiss him.…When Lila left Justin's office, she saw that Jessica had already packed up her stuff. All the blood had drained from Jessica's face, and she looked rattled. Lila e

    Joanna gaped at Serena. "Huh?"Serena repeated, "Accept the order.""Oh…" Joanna was a little shocked. "But aren't you angry, Serena? It's like he's challenging you or something!"However, Serena made no reply. She knew Justin wasn't trying to challenge her, but to show that he had already moved on from her. If that were the case, she saw no point in getting hung up on the past.…Justin sat in his leather swivel chair in his office at Farrow Corporation, taking a few drags of his cigarette as a scowl etched on his face. Jessica stood before him, looking nervous. "M-Mr. Farrow, don't be angry… There'll be other opportunities—""Other opportunities?" Justin snorted. "We're talking about a project worth billions! Our tender was a shoo-in, but you messed up the date and rendered the whole proposal invalid!"Are you going to cough up billions in compensation for me? A careless mistake—how could an assistant of your rank make such a careless mistake?"Rage painted his countenance as
