Too Late for Forgiveness Chapter 60
The room was dimly lit, and the floor was in complete disarray. On the large bed in the center of the room, Shawn pinned Serena down with one hand grabbing her head and the other tearing the fabric off her body.Wilson's expression changed drastically, and an air of brutal hostility enveloped him. Jacob, too, was stunned."Kayden, stay outside the door with them!" Jacob ordered before swiftly shutting the door.Shawn's countenance turned grim as he slowly loosened his grips. In the face of absolute disadvantage, one often gained clarity and remained calm.He pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and hung it over his lips. "You got here early, Uncle Wilson. Had you arrived just a little later, I could've bedded her. You know, you should've—"Wilson strode forward and delivered a punch to his face. Then, he picked up the fallen cigarette and pressed the butt against his arm.A painful scream escaped Shawn's lips.After tossing him aside, Wilson removed his coat as he walked toward Seren

Feeling Serena's dependence on him, Wilson couldn't help but tighten his arms around her. "It's okay. We're leaving now."Meanwhile, Justin had finally arrived outside the door after tailing Wilson. Seeing Kayden, the others, and two imposing figures stationed outside the room, he felt a surge of ominous feeling and urgency to head inside.However, Kayden halted him. Justin's gaze darkened as he roared, "Screw off! Where's Serena?"Kayden stayed silent and merely shot him a cold look, having no intention of stepping aside.Justin's fury was overflowing. "Step aside now, or you'll regret it later!"He was ready to strike when the door suddenly opened from the inside. With Serena in his arms, Wilson emerged from the room and stepped out with wide strides.His black suit enveloped Serena tightly, only half of her side profile visible. The pale skin of her cheek was marred with bruises and fresh blood, making the scene all the more striking.Justin felt his heart stop for a moment.

Wilson was ready to carry Serena inside the hospital but was rejected by her. "I can walk by myself, Mr. Quade."Despite her disheveled appearance, her tone was extremely calm—a total contrast to the fragile and frightened woman in the car. Wilson paused. "Your clothes aren't in the best shape. Let me carry you."He didn't give her a chance to turn him down. After taking her to a VIP ward, he made a phone call. Before long, Willow arrived."I'll step out for now and have Willow accompany you. Call me if you need anything," said Wilson.Serena's peaceful voice echoed in the ward. "Thank you, Mr. Quade.""Recovering is the best way you can thank me now." With that, he turned and left.As soon as the door closed, he massaged his temples.Serena was strong, perhaps a little too strong to the point where it concerned him. He wished she would open up and be vulnerable with him, yet she closed herself off like a clam, concealing her weakest side.Of course, she had shown her deepe

With the report in hand, Willow was ready to seek Wilson when she saw him approaching from the opposite direction with a shopping bag.He immediately asked, "How's she?""This is the result. You can take a look. Luckily, she didn't suffer any bone fractures. Otherwise, it will be a tedious process."Wilson took the report and perused it, slowly relaxing his heavy heart.Noticing the shopping bag, Willow asked, "What did you buy, Will? Women's clothes?""Yeah.""Wow. I can't believe you've picked out clothes for a woman." She teased, "Hey, we've known each other for quite some time. Why have you never bought me clothes?"Wilson cast her a sidelong glance. "Why would I do that for you?""Okay! As if I'd be into your fashion taste!" She stuck her tongue out at him.Just as she prepared to leave, a nurse frantically called out for her. "Dr. Quade, a patient just came in. Car accident and leg injury. Please come and take a look!"Willow worked in the Orthopedics Department, so she

You said your thigh is injured."In the office, Willow sat in her chair; her captivating eyes appeared skeptical as they focused on the handsome man before her.Arthur adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. Despite his blood-stained pants, it didn't affect his air of elegance and nobleness."Yeah, my thigh hurts; it should be a serious injury. My ankle also hurts, and there's slight discomfort in my chest. But other than that, there doesn't seem to be anything else."Joseph stood beside him, looking apologetic. "It's all my fault, Arthur. Had I not acted rashly and engaged in a road rage, we wouldn't have been here now…"Arthur had drunk quite a bit that night, and Joseph didn't let the chauffeur drive. Instead, he wanted to drive Arthur's Range Rover to send him home.On the way, he encountered a road rage incident. He and the other driver chased each other, putting on a show of speed and passion. As a result, they got into a car accident.He was safe from injuries, but because Arth

"You don't believe me?" Willow pinched Arthur's ankle and continued the examination. "You're good. It's swollen because you twisted it, but your bone is fine."She stood up, extended her hand, pried open his shirt, and touched his chest. "Does it hurt?""Not really."What was she touching him for?"No major issues. Just get an X-ray. If there's nothing serious, the director of the Surgical Department will take care of you." She jotted down the diagnosis and handed it to him.Arthur hinted at her. "Am I leaving in this state?"His thigh was still exposed."Got it." Willow removed her white coat and put it over his thigh. "The nurse will change you into a loose hospital gown. You'll probably receive stitches on your cut. I suggest you be hospitalized for a day.""Thanks, Dr. Quade," he thanked her politely, then wheeled himself out. He had just turned to leave when he cocked his head at her again.She was confused. "What's wrong?""Are you single, Dr. Quade?"Willow's eyes nar

Willow's words hit Ronald's sore spot. He was William's younger brother, and with William's health steadily declining, his sons had proven to be no competition for Ronald. As a result, the entire family had once treated him with the utmost deference. The family was slowly slipping under his control—until William decided to reconnect with Wilson, William's illegitimate son.Wilson wasn't a saint, either. After becoming the head of the family, he outright seized Quade Group from Ronald, undoing all of his years of hard work.Everything he had invested in was in vain, and that was the pain he would carry for the rest of his life."Silence!" Ronald delivered a harsh slap to Willow's face. She was struck so hard that her head jerked to the side.Carmen stepped forward, her expression filled with panic. "Lo, how could you speak to your father like that? Apologize to him now! Let me make a new arrangement for you to meet up with Leonard."Mrs. Jones has been telling me how happy she'd

The bruises on Serena's face made Lauren feel saddened yet angered. "That scumbag did that to your beautiful face? Knife—I need a knife. I'm going to chop his wiener off!""It's fine. He suffered way more injuries than me." Serena was surprised. "Also, how did you know I'm here?""I have Wilson's assistant's number. His name was… Sebastian… or something. Anyway, I couldn't reach you all morning, so I called him. Then, I found out you got abducted by Shawn!"Her eyes reddened. "Thank goodness you're okay, Rina. Otherwise, I'd be plagued with guilt for the rest of my life. I should've stuck with you last night!"Aaron chimed in, "She went crazy as soon as she heard about you this morning. While we were on the way here, she cursed Shawn about a million times."Serena chuckled. "None of us could've foreseen it. Things might not have been that different even if you were there, Laurie. Don't blame yourself for that."Lauren, full of concern, asked, "Are you getting discharged now? Are

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
