Chapter 211

Willow led Serena into a high-end Pernch restaurant. No sooner had they gone through the doors did they spot Leonard sitting at the round table in the center of the room.He was hard to miss. The man was clad in a white suit. His hair was greased and combed back, and he wore a chunky, diamond-encrusted watch. He stuck out in a bad way.Willow reached the table with Serena in tow, then plopped down in the seat across from Leonard. He checked the time on his watch and snapped, "I see you've finally made it, Willow! You're 15 minutes late! Have you no sense of time?""Please, did you expect me to leave the house in the first thing I grabbed from my wardrobe? Unlike you, I need time to doll up. It's only normal that I'm fashionably late," Willow retorted.Leonard bristled at her words. She was dressed casually in a loose blouse and trousers, and she barely had any makeup on. Clearly, she hadn't put much effort into dolling up at all!His gaze suddenly darted to Serena, and he demanded

Willow cracked a small smile. "To hell with your mom.""You should probably change—" Leonard broke off, incredulous when he realized Willow had been cursing at him.He was about to throw a raging fit when Serena said, "Mr. Jones, I'm afraid Lo can't and won't agree to the engagement.""What do you mean?""She's in love with someone else," Serena explained.Leonard chuckled. "Who is it, Willow? I'll teach that punk a lesson for trying to steal my woman!"Frankly, he couldn't care less about who Willow was in love with. After all, their marriage would be one of convenience. All that mattered was that he married a socialite who would make a good trophy wife.Willow was pretty, well-educated, and came from a prestigious family. Besides, Leonard was confident he would win her over with his manly charms once they were married.Serena answered with a straight face, "She's in love with me."Leonard's grin vanished as he demanded, "W-What was that?""Why did you think she brought me h

Serena sensed someone staring at her. She looked up from her food to meet a familiar pair of bedroom eyes. Her hands trembled slightly, and she instinctively looked down as she greeted Wilson meekly, "Mr. Quade.""Eye contact is crucial, Ms. Judd. Last I checked, I wasn't under the table," Wilson quipped.Rendered speechless, Serena reluctantly lifted her gaze to WIlson's. He grew exasperated just from watching her heroic effort."Continue with your meal, Ms. Judd," he said flatly as he and Desiree walked toward the table by the window.Only then did the knots in Serena's stomach loosen. She realized she wasn't freaking out as much during her recent run-ins with Wilson. At least this time, she didn't feel like throwing up the moment she saw him.Perhaps their frequent run-ins made it easier for her to cope with his existence. Should she see him more often and learn to overcome her fear of him?Serena glanced at the handsome couple seated by the window and changed her mind. She sh

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
