Wilson said, "Go ahead.""I know you have feelings for Serena. I can be your wingman," Arthur offered."What's in it for you?" Wilson narrowed his eyes."Nothing," Arthur replied. "Except that I kind of feel the same way about Willow, and I hope you'll back me up whenever necessary."Wilson seemed surprised. "You have feelings for Willow?""Yeah," Arthur said frankly."That's fine with me, but… If I find out you're only toying with her, I won't hesitate to hunt you down and make you pay," Wilson warned darkly."You won't have to worry about that," Arthur promised, grinning as he extended his hand toward Wilson. "I look forward to our collaboration."Wilson did not take his hand. "Spare me the niceties. It's not like we're close."Unfazed by Wilson's brusqueness, Arthur withdrew his hand and ducked to get into his car.…Candice wore a satin nightgown as she lounged on the couch at the Farrow residence. She was savoring a sweet treat as she scrolled through her phone.The nu

Lara reassured Candice, "Don't worry. I paid him 100 thousand dollars to back off. He won't bother you again.""That's good to know," Candice said as she heaved a sigh of relief.When she first climbed into Justin's bed in hopes of getting him to sleep with her, he'd been so drunk he wouldn't even touch her. To trick him into believing he had knocked her up, she slept with Thomas Garcia, her former classmate. Everything worked out for her when she discovered she was pregnant.After Candice learned she was pregnant, she racked her brain for ways to get Thomas off her back. Unfortunately, Thomas was stubborn and refused to break up with her. He even hounded her parents about this.Candice had been worried that Thomas would ruin her plans, but now that he was out of the picture, she could finally relax.Lara asked fretfully, "Candice, what if Jenna wants to run a DNA test to confirm the baby's lineage?""I'll take care of it, don't worry," Candice said."Alright, then… I still thin

Serena hadn't expected Jillian to place another order through her online cake shop. This time, Jillian ordered a cake and cookies.Serena had been up since morning working on Jillian's orders, mixing dough, tempering butter, and baking the cookies. While she was baking, Bingo rolled around on the rug and occasionally bounded up to Serena to paw at her foot.It was an idyllic morning, and Serena realized she didn't mind the quietude.She made an extra batch of cookies for Willow. When she was done, she made her way downstairs with the cake and cookies, careful not to jostle them. Upon stepping past the gates, she was about to hail a ride when she spotted a familiar figure.Arthur cut a dashing figure in his tailored, light-colored suit as he leaned against his Maserati, appearing to be on a call.Serena stopped in her tracks. "Good morning.""Morning, Serena. Are you roomies with Willow?" Arthur asked pleasantly."Her apartment is across the hall from mine," Serena explained, gri

Jillian glanced at Serena before saying, "Have a seat."Serena sat down across from the older woman and asked, "How shall I address you, ma'am?""Madam Gallagher will do," Jillian replied, setting down her teacup. "Ms. Judd, I invited you over today because I think your baking is decent. A friend of mine will be holding a soirée soon, and I plan to recommend that she commission your baking for the event. What do you think?"Serena was a little surprised. "You want me to prepare desserts for her soirée? Will it be a large-scale event?""No, it's a private affair with just slightly over a dozen guests, but they're all bigwigs with acquired tastes when it comes to sweet treats." Having said all this, Jillian added for good measure, "Money won't be a problem, so name your price."Serena was honestly moved by the offer. She'd always wanted to set up a baking business, and this upcoming soirée seemed like a good place to start. "Madam Gallagher, I'm afraid I can't give you an answer rig

The fall breeze was crisp and chilly at night, but it didn't dampen the lively mood aboard a cruise ship docked by the shore. A loaded businessman had thrown a party on the cruise ship and invited plenty of socialites and members of the upper-crust society.Aaron arrived at the party with Lauren on his arm, her silver high heels clacking against the deck. She was showing more skin than usual in a dress that accentuated her tall, voluptuous figure, and her presence was met with curious stares from the male guests."Wait here while I greet an important client of mine," Aaron said gently."Okay." Lauren nodded obligingly and grabbed a champagne flute off the tray of a passing attendant. She leaned against the railing and slowly savored the champagne. A few men tried chatting her up, but she politely turned down their advances.Meanwhile, Joseph wore a simple white blouse as he held court with a few friends nearby. Suddenly, Xavier Chapman's eyes glittered as if he were a predator who

"You're not the only one who got an invitation," Joseph snapped, raising a brow. He'd wondered what Lauren was doing at the party, and now he had his answer. She came as a plus-one for her dimwitted boyfriend.Lauren sneezed delicately when the wind came off the sea. Aaron shrugged off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders.Xavier and Ethan saw this and knew Aaron was marking his territory. They weren't so stupid as to overstep their boundaries, so they made up an excuse to leave and dragged Joseph with them. Joseph looked sullen as his friends frog-marched him away."Come on, Lauren. Let's go inside." Aaron took Lauren's hand and led her into the cruise ship, whereupon he introduced her to a man. "This is Mr. John Horowitz. You've met him before, Lauren."Lauren took one look at the balding man with a nasty leer and her face darkened. She had met him before, and he'd left quite the foul impression on her. During their last encounter, the old creep had accosted her at the b

The paper bag Serena carried contained the strawberry shortcake for Softie, whose address she had located within a high-end residential area. The apartments here were spacious and low-density, with two units taking up the entire floor space.It was a prestigious address, though not too far away from her apartment.Serena walked up to the unit and rang the bell. It took a while for someone to answer, and as the door slowly swung open to reveal the person on the other side, Serena froze. "You?"Standing at the door was Wilson, who wore a pale gray sweater and had one hand tucked into the pocket of his jogger pants. He braced an arm against the doorframe, his posture elegant but lazy.Serena considered the customer's nickname, "Softie", and cringed inwardly. Wilson was no softie. She'd expected someone with that nickname to be a wealthy young woman in her prime.Wilson raised a brow at the sight of Serena and feigned surprise. "Goodness, Ms. Judd. What are you doing here?"Serena as

As Serena turned to look at the night view zooming past the car window, she slipped into a daze.The gentle and strong Wilson intertwined with the bloodthirsty Wilson of that night, sending a whirl of complicated emotions through her chest.She couldn't understand her emotions, so she wanted to avoid and escape from the situation.Halfway there, Wilson received a call from his men saying that Lauren was safe, and Serena finally felt relieved.More than an hour later, they reached the location. Wilson brought her aboard the cruise ship, where someone specially came to receive them and show them into a luxurious private room. The moment they stepped in, Serena found Lauren on the couch with a glass of water in her hands. Her head was lowered, and she was quiet.There were a few people next to her, and one of them was a familiar face."Joseph?"Joseph turned to Serena. "Hey, Serena."Upon hearing Serena's voice, Lauren finally snapped out of her depressed state. "Rina…"She rai

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

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
