Unwilling Trophy Wife (Serena and Victor) novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257

“I’m really okay now,” Serena said.

She hadn’t been hit by the car at all. Keith had come just in time. She hadn’t even realized what had happened before he pulled her to safety, so the fear, had only lasted a second.

They stayed hugging quietly in the bushes for a moment. Then, there was a commotion nearby. It was security guards from Brannon Creative Group, leading Winnie over from not far away.

“Mr. Brannon, this is the one who was driving the car,” one of the security guards said.

Serena and Keith weren’t surprised. They met Winnie’s venomous stare. Serena pulled out of Keith’s arms, her eyes turning as cold as frost.

“From the first day you joined the company, I never did anything to hurt you,” Serena said. “What makes you hate me so much that you’d try to kill me?

“You ruined everything for me-my whole life!” Winnie screamed hysterically, drawing the attention of several passersby. “Who do you think you are, acting all innocent and saying you did nothing wrong?”

Serena held her gaze firmly. “I didn’t ruin you. You ruined yourself. You come from a decent family. You could have worked hard, or even barely tried, and still had more than most people get in a lifetime.

“But you just had to pick on others, steal what wasn’t yours, and even use dirty tricks to do it.”

She’d never wanted to do anything to Winnie. If Winnie hadn’t tried to set her up last night, Winnie wouldn’t have ended up in this mess.

“No need to say more to her,” Keith said, taking Serena’s hand. He tried to pass some warmth from his palm to hers.

Then he turned to the security guards. “She tried to kill someone. Call the police right now.”

The guards came to their senses and quickly took out their phones to call.

Winnie, held back by the guards, kept spewing curses. But Serena didn’t react at all like the words weren’t meant for her.

Winnie broke down. “Serena, you’ll get what’s coming to you. I curse you!”

Serena’s expression didn’t change. She stared at Winnie calmly. “I’m not the one who did something wrong. I’m not the one who tried to kill someone. Why would I get that?

“Everything I have now is what I deserve. So your curse doesn’t work.”

The police arrived quickly. After all, trying to kill someone in the middle of the street was a big deal that could shake the whole city. If it wasn’t handled right away, it might cause even more trouble.

Winnie was taken away soon after.

“We’re really sorry, Mr. Brannon. We didn’t spot it sooner.” The security guards came over, looking apologetic.

“It’s fine. It’s not your fault,” Serena said, having calmed down now. She nodded slightly at them. “Catching Winnie right away is good enough.”

Even Serena herself hadn’t expected Winnie to go to such extremes to hurt her.

The guards glanced at each other, clearly relieved.

“Let me take you home first. About Winnie, I’m sure the police will give us a fair judgment,” Keith said, his voice deep and steady like it could chase away
