Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife novel Chapter 626

Chapter 626: Chapter 626

"Hunter, how could you possibly think that? Martha has been taking care of me diligently for eighteen years. She has done a lot of hard work," Serena explained sincerely.

"I know it’s wrong of me to bad-mouth Rosemary to friends, but this really has nothing to do with Martha. Hunter, no matter what happens in the future, if you’re upset, vent it on me. Don’t involve Martha."

"You seem to have a deep bond with her," Hunter looked into the girl’s eyes, his expression somewhat complex.

"When Dad was busy with the company, Mom was often accompanying him. It was Martha who stayed by my side. No matter if I had a fever, fell ill or whatever—during every bleak and peak moment of my life in the past eighteen years—it was Martha who was with me."

"So, is she better than family?"

"She’s as good as family. Hunter, don’t think so poorly of her. She has been genuinely good to me."

Serena said, sounding a bit distressed, "You’ve deducted her pay and year-end bonus after a month of her hard work. Hunter, please, don’t do this again."

At this moment, Julian knocked on the door.

"Mr. Collins, the person in charge of the jewelry company, Mr. Ferber, is here."

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Julian ushered Bruno Ferber in. Seeing Serena’s poor state, he couldn’t help but jest,

"What brings you here, Serena? What happened to you?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"I fell accidentally. Did you come to laugh at me, Mr. Ferber?" Serena retorted jokingly.

"Hahaha. My future boss, I wouldn’t dare laugh at you. I’d be afraid you’d fire me," Mr. Ferber laughed heartily.

Serena was a bit confused and immediately turned to Hunter. What did he mean? His future boss? She didn’t understand.

Seeing her reaction, Mr. Ferber chuckled and turned to Hunter.

"Mr. Collins, haven’t you told Serena yet that she’s going to be managing the jewelry company?"

Upon hearing this, Serena’s eyes widened in surprise. Managing the jewelry company? Hunter wanted her to manage it? Really??

She used to be envious that Rosemary could inherit her family’s clothing company, but she didn’t expect that she would also have a share—and the value of the jewelry company was much more than that of the clothing company.

Hunter still cared about her.

"Seems like Serena genuinely didn’t know." Mr. Ferber guffawed.

"Mr. Collins has already paved the way for you, cleared the obstacles, and is just waiting for you to graduate so that I and—"

Before he could finish his sentence, Hunter interrupted calmly,

"That was the previous plan."

The moment Mr. Ferber heard this, he froze. What did he mean by that??

Serena was also puzzled. Had Hunter decided not to let her manage it?

"The future is unpredictable. The plan is now canceled." Hunter’s expression was calm as he looked at Bruno.

"I asked you here today to tell you this. You and the others can stop any activities for it."

Hunter had initially asked him and several other senior executives, planning to support Serena in taking over the position. The plan was all set; obstacles were cleared one by one.

But Serena had disappointed him this time.

Mr. Ferber was confused. Looking at Hunter, it didn’t seem like he was joking. Then he looked at Serena; her expression seemed very disappointed.

Mr. Ferber couldn’t help saying,

"Mr. Collins, this plan is already halfway through. Wouldn’t it be a bit inappropriate to cancel it now??"

"Serena is still young. Let’s talk about it later in the future."

"Rose showed me a video. Do you have anything to say about it?"

Upon hearing this, Martha was taken aback. She couldn’t believe that Rose showed that video to Hunter?!

"Mr. Collins, I don’t know what you’re talking about." Martha instinctively gripped her phone, her heart racing.

"Do you need me to send the video to you so you can see what you’ve done?" Hunter asked, his voice icy.

Martha was so scared that her legs gave out. She never would have thought that the wench actually showed the video to Hunter!

Oh no, oh no!! What now?

Wait—this didn’t seem like something Rosemary would do. What if Hunter was just trying to trick her?

So Martha defended herself.

"Mr. Collins, I really don’t understand what you’re talking about. What video? What did I do to give you the wrong impression? I can explain it to you."

Hunter didn’t expect her to be so cunning. He coldly retorted,

"So you’re saying you’re not admitting it?"

Martha was even more unsure. Did Hunter really see the video? Otherwise, he wouldn’t be talking to her in such a certain and cold tone.

But what if... he hasn’t seen it, and he was just bluffing? What to do??

Admit it or not?

In a split second, Martha knew her answer. No, she couldn’t admit it. Not unless Hunter sent the video to her. It wouldn’t be too late to feign remorse then.

What if Hunter didn’t have the video???

Right, she couldn’t panic. She wouldn’t be fooled by Hunter.
