Chapter 208

Penulis: Arlo Drake
When Candice heard Jenna's threat, she bit her lip and nodded tearfully. "Alright, then…"

She'd planned on needling Jenna for a higher sum, but the latter didn't look like she was eager to bargain. Pissing Jenna off wouldn't bode well for her, either.

Jenna jerked her chin at Lydia and said, "Lydia, straighten out the guest room for Candice and hire a nutritionist tomorrow."

"Thank you, Mrs. Farrow," Candice said. She was secretly thrilled by the surprising outcome. She'd expected Jenna to banish her from Nocturna, but now, she would be a guest at the Farrow residence until the baby was born.

Such was a privilege Candice never got to enjoy even while she was dating Justin, which showed how much Jenna cared about the baby. If that were the case, Candice would find herself in a more advantageous position.

After Candice went upstairs to the first floor, Mollie turned to Jenna and demanded incredulously, "Mom, are you out of your mind? We can't let Candice stay here! What right does s

    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

    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
