All Chapters of A Vow of Vegeance : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Hearing the commotion at the first-floor reception, he thought something was up. Instead, he saw the guards trying to force Serena out.Marcus laughed, "Oh! I wondered who it was.Turns out it's you, you witch."Serena hadn't expected to run into Marcus here, of all places.She retorted, "Marcus, you better watch your mouth. After all, I'm your Aunt-in-law! Disrespect me and I'll have your uncle deal with you!""Ha..." Marcua spat, pulling out his phone to show her a picture Katrina had sent him. "Oh, Aunt-in-law, huh? How pathetic! How does it feel to be dumped right after getting the marriage certificate?""Do you even know what kind of person my uncle is? You dare play games with him? You'll just end up alone, left on your own on your wedding day. How does that feel? Not great,right?"Serena frowned slightly but didn't truly get angry.She replied coolly, "Are you done talking?"Marcus shouted, "Not yet! Since you're all alone, why not be my lover? I'll spoil you! Make you happy ev

"Mr. Kade, when did I ever say I wanted to work for the Kade Corporation? Can you even afford my salary?"Damien leaned forward, a playful glint in his eyes. "If I can't afford your salary, there are other ways to compensate."Serena chuckled, her fingers lightly tracing Damien's outrageously handsome face. "This face is quite something and the body isn't bad either. Are you suggesting some kind of... physical payment?"Instead of backing off, Damien leaned in closer. "Why don't you take another look? This face, this body, calling it 'not bad' is an understatement. There are countless women out there who would love to have me, but not everyone gets the chance."The implication was clear: she wasn't losing out; she was getting a great deal.Serena had to admit, Damien's shamelessness was impressive. But when she thought about it, he had a point. With looks and a physique like his, he was sure to turn heads wherever he went.Serena gently traced her fingers over Damien's smooth cheek.

Serena's smile faded and her expression turned serious. "I need you to investigate something for me about the Kade Corporation's fashion designs department. It's an old brand that's been playing it safe for years, especially in the last two. It's fallen from grace and for a brand as big as the Kade’s, that shouldn't be happening. I suspect someone might be sabotaging them...""Is that why you joined their fashion design department? Did Damien send you to investigate this matter for him?"Serena shook her head. "Damien, that old fox. There's no way he'd let me handle something he wants to investigate himself! I think he brought me into the fashion design department to keep Katrina in check. If Katrina makes progress there, it could threaten Damien's position as the head of the family. By having me balance Katrina out, he can just sit back and reap the benefits..."Maureen chimed in, "He doesn't know your true identity, does he? Sending you in to balance Katrina without knowing who you

In contrast, Serena didn't seem to know anyone. She felt out of place, like she didn't belong there. Katrina shot her a mocking smile, as if to say, "What can a country bumpkin like you compare to me?"Serena didn't mind. This kind of clique behavior was something you'd see among elementary school kids. Katrina's actions were no different. If Serena took it seriously, wouldn't that make her even more childish?Serena calmly ate her meal, when suddenly someone sat across from her. She instinctively looked up and was surprised to see the old fox himself, Damien.Serena glanced around and noticed everyone was staring at her. She whispered to Damien, "What are you doing here, Mr. CEO? Are you afraid people won't know about our connection?"Damien replied matter-of-fact, "Just here to eat."Serena couldn't believe it. The idea of a high-profile CEO eating cafeteria food seemed like a joke, but soon enough, she realized it wasn't just Damien; even Marcus, that useless guy, had shown up.Wh

The next day, Serena noticed something new on Damien's desk—a cup that looked quite similar to his own vintage-style mug. However, this one was pink, matching his blue one like a pair.By lunchtime, Serena didn't need Damien's reminder to come over for a break. She immediately spotted the pink cup on the desk.Feigning nonchalance, Serena leaned in closer.Damien glanced at her casually. "What's up?"Serena gave a sly, fox-like smile and pointed at the pink cup. "Did you get this for me?"Damien replied lazily, "Yeah. From now on, drink from your own cup. It's not hygienic to share mine."Tsk, tsk... Just trying to deal with your cleanliness obsession.Serena picked up the pink cup, opened the lid and found the tea inside was exactly the same as what she had yesterday. She took a sip and said, "Hmm, it does taste good.""Finish it and go take your nap," Damien almost said outright, urging her to rest and stop bothering him.Naturally, Serena wasn't having it. She lingered around Dami
