Chapter 60
“Quinn Fender, I don’t want anyone in this workplace to be hostile to each other. Serenity Lewis certainly has been in prison
before, but that is no reason for us to discriminate against her, making it difficult for her to survive. Since you don’t feel
comfortable working with her, I think it’s best that you leave this job.”
But... But she was a full–time employee! How could she be fired just like that?! Quinn could hardly believe that it was real, yet
she could not deny that it had just happened!
She heard someone urging her, “Say something, Quinn.”
She looked around her, then when her gaze fell on Serenity, she rushed toward her in a burst of outrage. She reached her in one
huge stride and yelled, “You! It’s all your fault! If it hadn’t been for you, the director would never have fired me! You’re the one
he’s supposed to fine!”
Everyone there was astounded. So the one getting fired had ended up being... Quinn Fender?!
“You’re not joking, are you, Quinn?”
“But how could it be?!
Quinn glared at Serenity with fierce contempt, and she started to raise her hand to hit her. Serenity managed to dodge her, but
Quinn seemed to have gone rabid, and she was hell–bent on attacking Serenity.
Just then, sucneune stepped forward and held Quinn back from reaching Serenity.
“Haven’t you had enough? What does Serenity have to do with the director’s decision to fire you, anyway? How can someone in
her position ever influence him?”
Quinn turned around and noticed that it was Peter.
Seeing this, the other drivers rushed forward to hold Quinn back too. And just like that, the whole farce ended.
“Thank you,” Serenity said to Peter.
“Don’t mention it,” Peter replied in a voice laced with guilt. “If it hadn’t been for me, she would never target you like that.”
Serenity was about to turn and leave, but Peter suddenly asked, “That guy you called your brother... Is he really your real
brother?”
Serenity stared at Peter, slightly taken aback by the question.
Peter then stammered, “I just.. I just feel like.. The two of you don’t look like siblings.”
When he first saw them together, for some reason, it seemed more to him like they were lovers, not siblings.
“We’re not related by blood,” she told him, but he is family to me,
Family, huh? Peter still could not believe it. Even if she did think of him as family, what about that guy...? Did he think of her as
family and nothing else?
The way that guy looked at Serenity, Peter could clearly see signs of possessiveness in his eyes, and it was definitely not the
way abrother looked at his sister!
“Are you listening to me, Zeke
Jenny had to raise her voice when she asked Zele the question. He had been acting oddly distracted that whole day, even to the
point where she had to repeat what she said a few times, and even then he did not seem to be listening to her.
“Ah!” Zeke exclaimed, coming abruptly back to his senses. “What were you saying?
“What’s wrong with you today?” Jenny grumbled. “If you’re going to act this way tomorrow when try on the dress, I’m just going to
find someone else to accompany me!!
2/2
“Jenny, I suddenly thought of something urgent that I need to attend to immediately!”
As he spoke, he shot up to his feet and rushed out of the private lounge in a great hurry.
Jenny did not even have the chance to ask him anything before he was gone. Now, she was left all alone in the spacious private
lounge with a huge table full of food. Her expression was twisted by displeasure. What could be so urgent that it made him
abandon her like that?! He seemed to be a completely different man compared to the tender way he usually treated her!
Meanwhile, Zeke made a call to his secretary while driving and instructed, “Go to the Sanitation Office and get me Serenity
Lewis’s current address now!
Not long afterward, his secretary sent Serenity’s address to Zeke’s mobile phone. He then took off to her place at top speed.
