"Who are you calling lackeys?" Joseph was infuriated. "I'm on good terms with Serena. Can't you set your prejudices aside and speak nicely with me?"Ignoring him, Lauren continued playing drinking games with the guys next to her. She lost, so she picked up her drink and finished it.The men clapped and refilled her glass, their gazes running over her stunning figure. Impatience flashed over Joseph's face. "Get out of here, both of you. Don't have any designs on her."The guys were a little disgruntled, but they noticed that Joseph was dressed in branded goods and even had a streak of hair dyed in blue in front. He looked exactly like a scion from a wealthy and influential family.After consideration, the two guys decided to leave, which made Lauren mad. "What are you doing? Who's going to drink with me now that they're gone?""Stop drinking. Didn't you see that the guys were eyeing you like you're a prey? They're waiting until you're drunk so they can take advantage of you."

Joseph was silent for a few seconds before picking up the call."Lauren, I'm at the club you mentioned. Where are you?" Aaron's voice echoed from the other end of the line."She's drunk, and we're at the entrance now.""Who are you?""I'm your Daddy!" Joseph hung up in frustration and turned to Lauren who was mumbling on the seat.When he placed his ear closer, he realized that she was cursing at someone, and he was speechless.Soon, Aaron found them. Seeing Joseph, he was a little surprised. "It's you?"The Collinsworths were a prestigious family in Nocturna. Even though Joseph was always fooling around, Aaron could remember him."I bumped into her, and she's completely wasted. Even if I'm heartless, I can't leave her alone inside."The look on Aaron's face turned dark. He paced to the backseat and helped Lauren out of the car.Lauren was in a daze, but when she saw Aaron, she pushed and struggled against him. "What are you doing here? Go to another woman. You love it when

For a few seconds, Beatrice said nothing. "I don't know, either. Justin, you should know better than anyone else what Serena's personality is like."Justin's eyes wavered, and he muttered, "You're right."When the call ended, the traffic light turned red. Seated in the driver's seat, Justin felt a rush of emotions through his chest.Serena appeared cold on the outside, but she was warm on the inside. Kind and soft-hearted, she was always considerate of others.At the same time, she was stubborn and had a strong pride. Once she made up her mind, she would never turn back.So, she was never coming back to him.Intense despair sprawled over him, and his phone rang at this time.A deep voice said, "Mr. Farrow, this is information about Wilson Quade. We found out that he's been sending men to investigate Desiree's kidnapping, and they've caught the man." "Got it." Justin hung up, his eyes emotionless.Was Wilson trying to win Serena over by pretending to be a gentle and caring man

Suddenly, a mischievous voice next to Serena said, "What's on your mind? You look absolutely peeved. Are you going to kill someone?" Serena turned to the source of the voice and saw Wilson, clad in a dark-colored suit, standing next to her bench. His mesmerizing eyes were locked on her, and a small trace of amusement was visible in them.Slowly, Serena rose to her feet. "I'm sorry, Mr. Quade.""Why are you apologizing?""I lost my cool with Desiree earlier and left just like that, leaving you to clear up the mess."Wilson paced toward her. "If that's the case, I should be the one to apologize.""What do you mean?""I'm the reason Desiree is mean to you. If it wasn't because of me, you wouldn't have to deal with her attitude." Wilson smiled softly. "Therefore, it's only fair that I take care of the situation after you lose your temper.""Did Desiree make things difficult for you?""No. She lost her memories, not her mind. She's not going to pick a bone with me."He was righ

Since Wilson already rejected Aaron, Serena thought that she shouldn't interfere anymore."Lauren told me that you have an extraordinary relationship with Justin as well. Will you be the middleman and introduce him to me?" Aaron asked instead.Serena was surprised, and her voice turned a few notches colder. "I have nothing to do with Farrow Corporation anymore. This is even more out of the question.""I got it. Sorry, that was rude of me."Aaron hung up and set down his cellphone, his eyes turning gloomy.Despite claiming that she cared a lot about Lauren, Serena didn't want to help out with anything. Then, she shouldn't blame him for what would happen next.Aaron turned to Lauren, who was slowly waking up on the bed."How long was I asleep?""More than five hours now. Lauren, let's go somewhere on a trip in two days.""A trip?" Lauren was surprised. "But your company—""Work has been suffocating me recently, and I'm getting tired. Let's take a break elsewhere and see what ha

The car sped all the way until it finally reached an abandoned pier, where there was no one around. The weeds had taken over the land, and a chilly breeze ruffled past.Serena tightened her jacket around herself. "Why did you bring me here?""You must be familiar with that car, aren't you?" Justin pointed with his finger, and Serena's gaze followed its direction. He was pointing at a black Range Rover. Although Wilson rarely used this car, she immediately recognized it as his.Was Wilson really here? What was he doing here?All of a sudden, she had a bad premonition.Justin led her to an abandoned warehouse at the pier. Before they even got close, they heard a man's shrilling cry. He sounded to be in excruciating pain, as though he was tortured.Anxiety struck Serena, and she suddenly had the urge to run. However, Justin held her wrist. "Are you afraid of him, Serena?""I'm not.""Then, why don't you go in?" Justin looked into her eyes. "Serena, we're already here. Just one

With vigilance and wariness in her eyes, Serena appeared as though she was looking at a monster, and Wilson felt a sharp tug in his chest.Serena stumbled out, continuing to retch as her mind was filled with the scene in the warehouse.Blood… The floor was covered in blood. The deepest scar in her memory was ripped open again.She recalled the criminal who stabbed her father to death. His menacing face was smiling, filled with bloodthirsty brutality. Slowly, that face merged with Wilson's."Serena," someone called next to her.Lifting her head, she saw Wilson coming over. She met his eyes but quickly looked away."I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come here. I-I didn't see anything—" She began stuttering incoherently, turning around to flee helplessly.Justin pulled her into his arms and glowered deeply at Wilson with a trace of glee in his eyes."Can't you see that Serena is terrified of you? Stay away from her, Wilson," he warned and led Serena toward his Maybach.He settled her

The car swerved dangerously and left a mark on the road before nearly crashing into the guardrail. Justin had no choice but to slam on the brakes.Serena threw the door open and got out immediately.Justin quickly followed. "Serena, where are you going?"Serena suddenly turned around and landed a slap on his face. Her whole body trembled. "Are you happy now?"A dark glint flashed in Justin's eyes before he grabbed her wrist. "If you want to hit me, go ahead. As long as it makes you feel better, Serena, hit me until you've had enough!""Go away!" Serena struggled to break free, but Justin pulled her into his arms."I'm sorry. I know this will hurt you, but I just wanted you to see the truth. Wilson isn't the right person for you. I am."Serena, let's start over. We were so good together. Isn't it a shame to end things like this? Just give me another chance."Her resistance gradually weakened. Justin felt a flicker of hope and loosened his grip, looking into her eyes. However, al

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.

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

Overnight, the tables turned in favor of Serena and her patisserie.The deliveryman who had been in charge of delivering the strawberries to her patisserie formally and publicly apologized to Serena. He clarified that he had a personal vendetta against the fruit shop owner and contaminated the strawberries. He'd also confessed to the police in hopes of getting off with a lighter sentence.Ivana had quieted down as well, explaining she'd only used the E. coli breakout to justify her grudge with Serena. She apologized to Serena and paid compensation for the damage her earlier remarks and behavior had caused.Following the change in narrative, many wealthy folk in Nocturna spoke up in Serena's defense. They openly declared that they would continue commissioning Serena's and her patisserie's services for their upcoming parties.As the scandal died down, so did its messy consequences.The incident should have blown over once and for all, but word suddenly got out that the deliveryman f

Jillian's answer was savage. "I, for one, am relieved that I did not invest in Desiree's studio. She has blood on her hands and has committed so many unspeakable crimes. If I'd been affiliated with her studio, it would have shaved years off my life!"Desiree argued angrily, "Those are rumors, Grandma! Serena was trying to launch a smear campaign against me!""I can judge whether it was a smear campaign or not! Now, you will stop the damage you've done to Serena's patisserie, and that's final!" Jillian snapped."No way!" Desiree refused outright. "I want nothing more than to see that bitch dead! I will never help her clear her name!"Looking thunderous, Jillian stood up and slapped Desiree hard across the face. An angry hand imprint formed on Desiree's snow-white cheek, and she fell into a daze.Gary was apoplectic. "Mom! What are you doing? You just hit your granddaughter!""I have no granddaughter as wicked and vile as her!" Jillian seethed."You've crossed the line! I'll—"Be

Jillian initially believed Desiree would not be as ruthless as Gary, who did not draw the line at hurting family.However, after Desiree's bullying scandal that led to someone's death and the incident today, Jillian came to realize that Desiree and Gary were both scoundrels.…Gary had a villa in Nocturna as well. Following her recent scandal, Desiree had confined herself within the villa. While nursing her bruised ego, she plotted against Serena.The media outlets she'd hired to write vicious articles about Serena were silenced. It wasn't hard to figure out Wilson was behind the gag order. Did he truly care about Serena that much? Desiree frowned. She was trying to devise new ways to torment Serena when she heard the maid say they had a guest."What guest?" No one had bothered coming to see Desiree since her fall from grace. Puzzled, she got up to see a silver-haired old lady approaching her with a steady gait, followed by her entourage.Desiree was surprised. "Grandma?"She

Serena uttered, "Wilson?""Do you need help?" Wilson asked.Serena admitted reluctantly, "Yes."She thought she heard him chuckle on the other end of the line. "Send me the address."She sent him the address of the fruit shop. Within 20 minutes, the rumbling sound of the car engine came from outside the shop.Wilson led his men into the establishment, rolling up the sleeves of his black shirt to reveal his expensive watch. His gaze swept over the people in the room before falling on the deliveryman."Is that the guy?" Wilson asked.Serena nodded. "Yes, but we can't get anything out of him. He insists that it's a personal grudge against the shopowner.""Leave the interrogating to the professionals, Serena," Wilson drawled as he gave Kayden a look. The latter got the hint and immediately dragged the deliveryman to the other side of the room.Serena asked in hushed tones, "You're not going to kill him or anything, are you?""Am I that cruel?" Wilson quipped.Serena eyed him spe

Joanna had only just made the announcement when a few uniformed officers entered the kitchen. After presenting their warrant, they informed Serena they had come to investigate her patisserie.Serena had no grounds to obstruct the officers' work, so she agreed. The officers took a few ingredient samples and looked into the hygiene conditions of the patisserie."The results should be out soon, Ms. Judd. Wait for our notice," one of the officers said."Alright."When Serena had seen the officers out the door, she stopped all business sales in the patisserie. She also took a few ingredient samples to have them tested.Joanna was distressed. "Our ingredients are fine, Serena. What are you worried about?""We can't be too certain," Serena pointed out.Whoever was behind this wouldn't have stirred up this much trouble without laying the groundwork. Serena figured she was better off safe than sorry.She didn't have any connections to ensure a rapid testing of the ingredients, so she we

Jessica waited until Justin left before turning to Lila. "What's your relationship with Mr. Farrow?""I'm indebted to him," Lila said."Look, I don't care how you managed to bewitch Mr. Farrow, but I expect you to do a good job as my assistant. I won't go easy on you just because you're involved with Mr. Farrow, got it?" Jessica warned."Yes. Uh, Ms. Hayes, is there any work you'd like me to do now?" Lila asked."You can start with tidying up my workdesk.""Alright." Lila immediately went over to the desk and got to work.A smile curved Jessica's lips. She might not have been able to boss Serena around, but she doubted Lila was a tough opponent. "When you're done with the workdesk, get me a cup of coffee.""Got it," Lila replied dutifully.Jessica was pleased by Lila's obedience and turned to walk away.While tidying up Jessica's desk, Lila spotted the docket set on one side. It contained a thick tender proposal. She stared at the proposal for a few seconds, then looked away.

After leaving the restaurant, Justin gave Lila a ride back to her place, which she rented. Upon entering the residential area, he remarked, "This neighborhood looks old and run-down. You should move someplace nicer."Lila replied slowly, "I should, but first, I need a new job."When Justin heard this, he was suddenly reminded of something. "Your manager mentioned you were in college, but then you quit halfway and started working at the club because you were in dire straits. Which college did you go to?""I was a student at Nocturna University, the local campus," Lila answered."That's a pretty good university." Justin was a little stunned. This was the first time he'd asked about her private life, and her answer surprised him. After some thought, he offered, "You should go back to college. I'll continue to sponsor you.""Really?" Lila's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Mr. Farrow—""Stop thanking me. You were supposed to have a brilliant life full of experiences, and you shouldn't waste
