"Serena!"Justin caught up quickly and blocked their path. "Serena, don't you have anything to say to me?"Serena's voice was calm. "No.""Nothing at all?"Lauren rolled her eyes. "Are you just looking for something to talk about? She said no. Are your ears broken now too, along with your brain?"Justin's expression darkened. "Why are you always around?""Yes, and I'll always be here. I'll always have a place by Rina's side. But you? You're already out of the game. Got it?"Serena said calmly, "Laurie, don't waste your breath on him. Let's go home.""Got it.""Serena."Justin called out as he grabbed her wrist before she could leave. "Stop pretending to be so indifferent. Joseph already told me. I know."Serena frowned. "Know what?""You went to the fortune teller's today. You got a protection charm, didn't you?"Justin's eyes brightened as he asked, "Was the charm… for me?"The moment he said that, a loud burst of laughter exploded beside them. Lauren clutched her stomac

When Justin entered the hospital room, he saw Candice sitting by the window, looking pale and lost in thought.The moment she saw him, her eyes lit up with hope. "Justin! Did you come to see me?"Justin got straight to the point. "I heard Wilson came looking for you."Candice's eyes immediately welled up with tears."Yes… He barged in with his men while you weren't around and… He burned my mom's arm with a cigarette! She's in the burn unit right now…"She sniffled. "Justin, I was so scared!"Candice moved forward, wanting to throw herself into his arms, but Justin pushed her away.She froze and called out, "Justin?""Why would Wilson come after you for no reason?""I-It was because of Serena…"Candice's gaze flickered with hesitation."He thinks I bullied Serena, so he came to warn me not to bother her again. You know how my mom is. She has a bit of a temper."When she heard that, she lost her cool and started yelling at him… That's when he burned her arm."Justin's face d

Serena didn't think much of her cold. She simply grabbed her tumbler and headed to work as usual.By evening, she accompanied Wilson to a six-star hotel for a client meeting.Just as she got into the car, she suddenly sneezed heavily.Wilson turned to look at her. "Are you sick?""Maybe just a little." Serena sniffled. "Mr. Quade, should I sit in the front? I don't want to pass it to you.""No need. I have a strong immune system. A minor cold like yours is nothing to me."The car smoothly pulled onto the road. Midway through the drive, Wilson suddenly instructed Sebastian to stop the car."Wait here for a bit." With that, he stepped out and walked away.A few minutes later, he returned carrying a large bag and handed it to Serena. "Take this."Serena peeked inside, and it was full of cold medicine, antibiotics, and fever reducers."The seasonal transition has been bad. I heard viral colds are going around, so keep these just in case," Wilson said casually.Serena stared at h

Seeing Jessica drink so boldly, the other businessmen also raised their glasses for a toast. Jessica handled each one smoothly, taking the drinks on behalf of Justin.Justin glanced at the lively scene in front of him but felt oddly distracted.It reminded him of how Serena used to do the same whenever she accompanied him to social events. She always worried about his stomach issues and made sure to take all the drinks for him.His gastritis rarely acted up when she was around because of that. Yet, she suffered for it.He had seen Serena drunk before, curled over a toilet as she was vomiting miserably.At first, he used to care, asking if she was alright. But over time, he grew indifferent.She seemed unbreakable. Even after drinking herself sick at night, she'd wake up the next morning looking fresh and energetic. So, eventually, he stopped paying attention.There was one time when a big client had made advances toward her. Serena had rejected him outright, but the man had gott

Wilson asked, "Mr. Sutton, are you saying that Farrow Corporation doesn't treat its employees like people? Justin's just across the hallway. How about I take you over there later, and you can ask him how he used to treat my assistant?"Nathan's face went pale at once."That's not what I meant, Mr. Quade. I just think that even if Ms. Judd's feeling a little sick, a bit of alcohol should be fine.""Well, I think you could handle a whole case of whiskey just fine, Mr. Sutton. Why don't you go ahead and finish it all?"The room fell silent for a few seconds after the remark.Nathan's expression darkened.Someone nearby stepped in to defuse the tension."You're hilarious, Mr. Quade. Too much alcohol's no good for you. Mr. Sutton, how about we have one drink together? After that, let's focus on the food. Deal?"Nathan reluctantly took the exit.Serena's tense emotions finally eased.She hadn't expected Wilson to defend her so openly. He showed absolutely no respect for Nathan.Sh

Jessica was on cloud nine. She hadn't expected Justin to speak up for her just now.It seemed he didn't actually despise her as much as she'd thought."Know your place. You're my assistant, not some escort. Don't act all subservient like that. It makes me look bad!"It was like a bucket of cold water had been poured over Jessica's head. She sobered up immediately."Understood, Mr. Farrow."As they arrived downstairs, Zane opened the car door. Justin was just about to sit inside when he spotted a group of people exiting the hotel.Wilson was in the middle of the circle, chatting with some businessmen, before heading toward a Bentley.Meanwhile, Serena walked closely by his side.Wilson occasionally turned to say something to her, and she responded immediately.The sight stung Justin deeply.He used to be the person by her side."Give me a second," he told Zane.With that, Justin quickly strode toward them."Serena."Serena turned around. When she saw Justin, the smile on h

Serena fumbled to grab her phone.She hadn't planned on bothering Lauren this late, but the anxiety in her was overwhelming. She just needed someone to talk to, someone to comfort her.She quickly found Lauren's contact and dialed in a hurry.As soon as the phone picked up, she blurted out, "Laurie, it's thundering outside, and I'm really scared. I just need to talk to someone.""Scared?" A deep voice, unmistakably a man's, came from the other end of the line.Serena froze, almost convinced her fever was making her hallucinate.Wilson spoke again. "Your voice doesn't sound right. Is your cold getting worse?""Sorry, Mr. Quade. I must've dialed the wrong number."Serena felt embarrassed. Just as she was about to hang up, Wilson stopped her. "What's wrong?""It's nothing. I'm just running a fever, and the thunder's scaring me.""Did you take medicine?""I did."Serena didn't want him to worry. "It's getting better, really. I'm fine.""Okay.""You should get some rest, Mr. Q

"No... I'll lie down right away," Serena quickly replied.She stumbled over to the bed before collapsing onto it.She turned her heavy head to watch Wilson as he removed his coat and paced around the apartment.Before long, he returned with a thermometer to check her temperature.Seeing the numbers, he frowned deeply. "104 degrees Fahrenheit. You have high endurance, Serena.""Is it that high?"No wonder her head felt so heavy, and it was such a struggle just to sit up.Soon, Wilson returned with a glass of water and medicine. "Take the fever medicine first.""Do I have to take it?" Serena asked."What now? Are you planning to just wither away?"Wilson opened the fever medicine bottle and handed a pill to her."Swallow it with water. It's a capsule, not bitter."Serena was feeling miserable. Seeing the pill held up to her mouth, she didn't think twice. She opened her mouth and bit down on the pill between his fingertips.The warmth of her lips brushed against his fingers,

Justin was seated at a table in a high-end restaurant in Nocturna as he stared at the phone in his hand. The news about Ronald was displayed on the screen.Surprised that Ronald had been imprisoned, Justin read the article carefully, then closed the page. The Quades' affairs were none of his concern. With his company recently gearing up to bid on a large project, he'd painstakingly drafted the tender proposal and planned to submit it for the bidding."Aren't you going to eat, Mr. Farrow?" Lila asked softly from across the table."I was checking the news," Justin said, pocketing his phone.Lila poked at the steak on her plate. "Mr. Farrow, this is my first time dining at such a fancy restaurant… I never had a chance to come to such places before.""I gave you money, didn't I? You can eat whatever and wherever you want.""You've been incredibly kind to me, Mr. Farrow… I must have saved the universe in my past life to meet you in this one," Lila said.Justin fell into a momentary d

Willow's voice trembled slightly, followed by a bitter smile. "Arthur, what do you think she was trying to do? I'd already given up on our relationship. And now, she dies right in front of me. Do you know what her last words to me were? She said she's sorry."She lowered her head, hands digging into her hair. She looked completely drained, both physically and emotionally. "I don't understand. Did she love me or not? If she did, why was she always siding with Ronald? Why didn't she ever stand up for me? But then, there were so many times I felt like she did love me."Tears slid down her cheeks. "I remember when I was little and had a fever. She stayed up the whole night with me, didn't sleep a second. When I got beaten, she'd secretly put medication on me. When I went overseas, she used to call and ask how I was doing. But after a few minutes, she'd start scolding me, saying I never called Ronald."If she really loved me, why didn't she protect me when he hit me? Why did she want me

Willow rushed forward and caught Carmen just before she collapsed.A nearby officer tackled Ronald to the ground.Carmen fell into her arms, tears streaming down her face. Her hand trembled as she reached up and gently touched Willow's cheek. There was sorrow and guilt in her eyes.Her vision blurred as her consciousness faded, but in that haze, she saw a memory—Willow as a child. Back when she first gave birth to her, Ronald and his mother, Sarah Pattinson, were furious that it was a girl. They didn't even bother to visit.For those first few years, it was just her and Willow getting through one sleepless night after another. It was Willow who filled the emptiness and pain in her heart.She used to hold that tiny child in the dark, press kisses onto her soft little face, and dream that one day her daughter would grow up to be poised and happy, with a good life ahead.However, the moment Ronald came back into their lives, fear returned with him. She feared him and ultimately ga

"What the hell is going on?" Ronald's face twisted with anger. He saw the door of the Cullinan swing open.Out stepped Wilson, his every move calm and deliberate.Ronald's expression darkened instantly. Wilson again? The nerve of that bastard, barging right into his house as if he were already dead.Wilson strolled into the room, barely glancing at the others before a faint smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. "Uncle Ronald, what's all this?""Wilson, shouldn't I be asking you that? You drove straight into my house. That's trespassing. What the hell do you think you're doing?" Ronald snapped.Wilson's eyes turned cold. "You're about to kill someone, and you're worried about trespassing?"Ronald sneered. "Are you here to save Willow? I never expected someone cold and heartless like you to actually care about her.""Of course. I'm just emotionally detached, not a monster like you," Wilson said.Ronald nearly choked on his fury. When it came to words, he couldn't match Wilson i

Willow was shaking with rage. "Ronald, you're disgusting. Hitting a woman? You're nothing but trash!""Hah!" Ronald's face twisted with fury. However, instead of lashing out, he suddenly calmed. "I see. No matter what, you still care about the woman who carried you for ten months, don't you? But do you think she cares about you?""What do you mean?" Willow frowned."She's been lying to you this whole time!" He jabbed a finger at Carmen. "This woman has been weak her whole life. She lives to serve me. I tell her to do something, and she does it. No questions asked!"Ever wonder how I found you in the Mardenes so quickly and easily? Your bracelet. There's a tracker inside! You idiot! Do you really believe she loved you?"Let me make this clear. No one has ever loved you. Not since the day you were born!" His voice thundered through the massive villa, every word like a hammer pounding into Willow's chest.Her face went pale. All the strength drained out of her.That one sentence wa

Arthur didn't say a word. He walked up to the table, picked up the pen, and signed his name on the document without hesitation.Ronald took the papers, and the joy on his face was unmistakable. It actually worked! Just like that?Nine percent of Collinsworth Group's shares would make him the biggest shareholder now. Arthur had lost his mind, giving up Collinsworth Group like it was nothing. What a delightful surprise."Let's go, Willow." Arthur reached for Willow's hand and was ready to go. They made it to the door, only to be blocked by two buff bodyguards.Arthur frowned. "What's this?"Ronald gave him a harmless smile. "You can leave. She stays.""Ronald, you promised to let her go once you got the shares!" Arthur rarely raised his voice, but now his anger flared.Ronald snorted. "Let her go? What the hell are you talking about? This is her home. Isn't it normal for her to stay here?"Willow turned around, eyes burning with fury. "You're a liar, Ronald. You're old enough to

"Don't you think this is ridiculous?" Willow's tone dripped with mockery. "My own parents locked me up, treating me like a hostage just to make a deal. And the one who's trying to save me? He's not even related to me by blood. Do you really think you deserve to be my parents?""If Arthur hadn't tricked your dad, he wouldn't have resorted to this… Lo, your last name is Quade. Don't you care that the company's in trouble?" Carmen asked.She laughed coldly. "If Ronald hadn't been so eager to sell off his own daughter, he wouldn't have fallen for it in the first place. I don't just want to see his company struggle. I want it to go bankrupt!"Watching the reputation and wealth he cared about most crumble right in front of him would be real pain. He deserved every second of it!"You're insane. Forget it. I'm done talking to you." Carmen shook her head like she couldn't be bothered anymore.Willow sat alone in the attic. Not long after, one of the housekeepers brought in a bowl of spaghe

At the hospital, Willow stared at the dozens of missed calls flashing on her phone. Her eyes darkened slightly.Arthur had already told her that Ronald's project had blown up. He was bound to be furious, maybe even come looking for her. So, Arthur bought her a plane ticket. He told her to leave town for a while and let the storm pass. He would take care of everything and call her back when it was safe.Willow agreed without hesitation. A little vacation sounded good anyway.She left the hospital, headed straight to the airport, and flew to the Mardenes. That evening, she checked into a six-star hotel. While enjoying a quiet dinner, she heard a sudden commotion outside the room. When she opened the door and saw who was standing there, her heart stopped. It was Ronald.He let out a cold laugh before lunging forward, his hand tightening around her throat as he forced his way inside.Willow had no idea how she had been taken. Ronald knocked her out the moment he entered.When she

There was still no answer. "What's going on with Lo? Why won't she pick up her phone? Honey, is something wrong?"Before Carmen could say more, Ronald's hand shot out. He seized her phone and smashed it violently against the floor.Carmen shrieked in shock. "Honey, what happened?""It's all because of your perfect daughter!" he roared, slapping her hard across the face.Carmen stumbled backward, clutching her cheek as tears welled in her eyes. "What… What did I do? What are you talking about?""Willow, your precious daughter, teamed up with that bastard Arthur to screw me over! The project he handed to me was a damn scam. It just got shut down by the authorities. Do you even know how much money I've lost?" Ronald snapped."Arthur… scammed you?" Carmen was in disbelief."He said it was a prime piece of land with a great location, perfect for a wellness retreat, full of natural resources… and it turned out to be nothing but a fantasy!" Ronald was practically roaring at this point.
