"Why would you say that?" A despicable smile played on Thomas' lips. "We can also speak about sex. During those two weeks, you begged for me every night, and I ended up so weak every day. At that time, we were—""Enough!" Candice interrupted. "Tell me, how much does it take for you to leave me alone?""I heard that the Farrows will pay you 30 million dollars as severance after the baby is born. I want half of that.""What gives?""Because I contributed to your pregnancy." Thomas folded his arms. "You know what's going to happen if you don't share the money with me. Candice, you have no other choice."He was such a greedy man. Fury rose in Candice's heart, and she lowered her eyes as she contemplated.Rather than giving him 15 million, she reckoned it would be better to spend that money on getting rid of him completely.Thomas didn't have any family, anyway. Back then, she chose him to be the sperm donor whom she could dump afterward because he was an orphan. There wouldn't be

Candice finally calmed down a little at Serena's threat. The next second, she put on a pitiful face. "He's carrying a torch for me, but my heart belongs to Justin. I didn't cheat on him. I'm pregnant with Justin's child, and he's the only man in my heart now—""Drop the act. It makes me sick." Turning around, Serena left in a hurry.As Candice stared at her from behind, the look in her eyes gradually turned sinister. Thomas paced to her side. "What's up? Does that woman have a problem with you?" Gritting her teeth, Candice answered, "If it isn't because of her, I would've been Mrs. Farrow already.""Since you hate her so much, do you need my help to make her disappear?""Really?" Light sparkled in Candice's eyes, but she quickly found it a ridiculous idea. "The mandatory sentence for murder is death. Are you willing to risk your life for me? Stop kidding me.""Did you forget what I told you?" Thomas inched in closer to her. "I'm now dealing in illegal businesses and have a w

A shriek escaped Serena's lips, but she fell into an embrace instead.Her mind went blank for a second. Slowly, her eyes fluttered open, and a familiar face was right before her.Wilson raised his brows at her. "What's the storyline today, Ms. Judd? A fairytale princess falling from the skies?""Thank you," Serena muttered."A princess usually marries the man who saves her, right?"Serena kicked her legs. "Put me down."So many people were on the street, and this situation was embarrassing for her.A renovation worker rushed out. "Ms. Judd, I'm sorry. This ladder has a broken leg, and I forgot to mention it to you.""Get it fixed before someone else falls from it.""Okay." Carrying the ladder, the renovation worker returned inside.Meanwhile, Lauren and Joseph came out to check the situation. When they saw Serena swaddled in Wilson's arms, they couldn't help the looks on their faces. Composedly, Wilson placed Serena down and looked at her. "Aren't you going to invite me ins

Wilson didn't stay after finishing lunch and left after picking up a call.Gary was already waiting for him in the VIP lounge when he returned to his company. He approached him and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Stone.""Where were you?" Gary was puzzled, seeing the dust on Wilson. Wilson casually passed his suit jacket to Sebastian and sat across from Gary. "I just went for a stroll," he said."I heard from Desiree that there's a conflict between both of you," Gary said solemnly."So, are you here to reprimand me?" A smirk hung on Wilson's lips, but his face was unreadable.Gary slowly said, "Desiree tricked you, so I understand that you're unhappy about it. But you shouldn't forget that she was injured because of you. It's not a big deal that she pretended to have amnesia.""You're right, Mr. Stone.""Desiree is upset now. You should cheer her up.""Mr. Stone, you're making things difficult for me because I'm not capable of cheering up another person."Wilson crossed his legs. "Sh

Rather than Wilson being indebted to the Stones, the relationship between Wilson and the Stones was an exchange of interests.After all these years, Quade Group became more stable, whereas Stone Enterprise slowly became turbulent. Wilson had helped Gary a few times afterward. So, all the favors Gary did for him in the past had been repaid a long time ago.This news took Jacob by surprise. "Is that what happened? People outside are saying that Gary saved you and kept you in the Stone residence. "While you were recovering there, you befriended Desiree. Both of you were teenage sweethearts and grew to love each other."Wilson snorted in laughter. "That's ridiculous. Do you buy it?""I do. I believe the rumors from outsiders, and even Serena bought it."Wilson froze for a second, and the smirk disappeared from his face.Seeing the deflated look on his face, Jacob gloated, "Look how this story has turned out. But Serena doesn't really believe others. After hearing all these rumors

Serena was in a black dress, her fair arms and alluring collar bones exposed. A hint of aloofness hung on her face, and she was breathtakingly gorgeous.Wilson stared at the picture for a few good minutes before flipping the page. In this picture, she wore a bodycon dress, and in the following pages, she was in different styles.Raising his head, Wilson looked at Sebastian. "Where did you get this?"Pigs were flying. Even a scaredy cat had such a sexy and appealing side.Sebastian answered honestly, "Didn't you ask me to monitor Ms. Judd? I found out that she went to Damian Farrow's studio recently to be his model."After the advertisement brochure was printed, I immediately got a copy."Then, he complimented, "For such an aloof person, Ms. Judd is really versatile. These pictures are gorgeous."He finished, waiting for Wilson's praise, but he saw Wilson closing the brochure instead."Do you have that much time? If you're so interested, what do you think if I send you to be a m

The man Desiree desired had to be exceptional in every way. He must have stunning looks, an elite family background, and unmatched abilities. Later, Wilson became the CEO of Quade Group, and he checked every box on her list. That was when she began to fall for him. Little did she know, he was completely ungrateful! Desiree's anger welled up as she grabbed a cup, ready to smash it. Then, her eyes locked onto something on the floor, and she froze. She set the cup down, walked over, and picked up a promotional brochure that an assistant had left. The stack showcased some of the top photography studios in Nocturna, a collection she had meant to study for competitor analysis. Then she saw it. The photo in the brochure was of Serena!A cold glimmer flashed in Desiree's eyes. Come to think of it, Wilson had rejected her largely because of this woman. If Serena disappeared, nothing would stand in her way.That afternoon, with the sun shining brightly, Candice, who was dressed in a luxu

Candice was upset. "Then give me a number. How much do you want?"Isaac frowned. "Do you think I'll come with you just because you're paying more?""What do you want then if not money?" Candice asked, irritated."Someone like you will never understand," Isaac said coldly. "Had I known you were this kind of person, I would have never sold the shop to you. That was the worst decision I've ever made! Just go away. I never want to see you again!" With a loud slam, Isaac closed the door.Candice nearly burst into angry laughter. After all, he was just a worker. He was only after money. Why was he pretending to be so noble?The manager looked confused. "Ms. Ashton, he…""If he doesn't want to come, that's fine. I refuse to believe there isn't a single good pastry chef in all of Nocturna. If I can't find one here, I'll hire someone else, even from abroad. As long as the offer is good, I know I can find someone!" Candice declared.The manager remained silent. A truly renowned pastry che

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

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
