Chapter 113
However, Stacey hid in a corner of the café and overheard Serena and Keith’s conversation. She wore sunglasses, hunched over, deliberately pulled down her cap brim, and subconsciously stirred her cold coffee.
Stacey clenched the coffee cup so tightly that she almost bit through her lip.
Stacey
ey was also a design student, and she had known Keith for many more years than Serena. But he had never mentioned inviting her to work for him.
Stacey’s clenched fist trembled gradually under the table. She thought, “Why does Serena, a divorced woman, still win Keith’s favori
Serena checked the time on her phone and realized it was time to leave. She put down her coffee cup, stood up, and gently adjusted her clothes.
She said. “Then be going first. Thank you for the invitation, I get back to you as soon as possible.”
Keith also stood up and smiled, saying, “Alright, I’ll wait for your reply.”
Serena nodded, hesitated, and then said, “Wso, thank you for today.”
Keith made a gentlemanly gesture of invitation. “Seri, you don’t have to be so polite with me!
Serena paused for a second before smiling. As she turned to leave, Keith said, “Seri, let me walk you back.”
She was slightly taken aback and quickly wired her hand to decline. “Thank you, but I can go back by myself.”
Keith looked at Serena gently. “It’s getting late, and I don’t feel at ease with you going back alone.”
Serena hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
Stacey didn’t rise until Serena and Keith’s figures completely vanished around the street corner.
She took off her sunglasses, went to the restroom, and fixed her messy hair and clothes in the mirror.
Stacey stared at her reflection, slowly wiping off the smudged lipstick from the corner of her mouth: She thought, “Ever since the day I met Keith, he should only belong to me. This all needs to end.”
Stacey returned to the company, went straight to Erika’s desk, and said, “Erika, come out. I need to talk to you.”
Erika looked at Stacey in confusion. She gently put down the file in her hand, stood up, and followed Stacey out of the office.
In the company pantry, Stacey leaned against the window, Erika stood opposite her, asking with a puzzled look, “Stacey, what do you want from me?”
Stacey didn’t answer immediately but looked at the pedestrians coming and going outside the window. She said, “Do you want Serena to be disgraced?”
Upon hearing Stacey’s words, Enka was first stunned and then became somewhat incoherent.
The memory of being interrogated at the police station was still vivid. She had paid a huge price for bail. At the thought of Serena, she gritted her booth with hatred.
So Erika said, “Yes. What’s the plan? I’ll fully cooperate.”
Stacey took a few steps closer, lowered her head, and whispered into Erika’s ear
Erika’s body stiffened slightly. One of her feet subconsciously stepped back, and then be expression gradually became complicated.
After finishing, Stacey stood up straight and took a step back, then asked. “Got it!”
“understand.” Erika lowered her eyes, her hands tightly clenched together.

Chapter 113
At this time, Victor sat on the hospital bed while the doctor treated the wound on his face, Leon stood by, feeling both sorry and angry at Victor’s injury
“Dad, can we kick Eliza out?” he asked,
Victor’s brows furrowed tightly upon hearing Leon’s words. He said, “Loon, you don’t understand. Between me and Ellie-
“understand everything, Dad,” Leon interrupted. “She and Oliver always bully me, and they made Mom leave us too. What else do you want?”
Victor was silent for a moment and said in a low voice, “But Ellie didn’t mean it. She didn’t know you’re allergic to rges, so sha—”
“Why can’t you understand? She did it on purpose, and she forced Mom to leavel Leon’s face turned red with anger, his hands clenched into fists, and he suddenly stomped his foot.
“Dad, why are you still protecting them? Can’t you see she wants to hurt me?” As he spoke, Leon grabbed Victor’s arm and shook it.
Victor said, “Leon, stop talking. Elle isn’t that kind of person.”
Leon looked at Victor, and the light in his eyes dimmed little by little. Then he helplessly let go of Victor’s arm.
Victor endured the severe pain of the doctor treating his wound and let out a helpless sigh. He looked at Leon’s little face, which was filed with hatred
and sadness.
He couldn’t understand why everyone could only see the bad side of Eliza. Although she was a bit willful, she wasn’t as vicious as Leon said.
