Unwilling Trophy Wife (Serena and Victor) novel Chapter 269

Chapter 269

“Nothing to see here. It’s not what you think,” James said, scowling as he shooed away the employees who were watching.

Keith stood a short distance from Serena. It was the first time James had seen him look so

flustered in front of someone.

“Seri, I…” Keith stammered.

Watching him rush to explain, Serena sighed and shook her head. “I get it. Our trust isn’t that fragile, is it?”

Serena gave a helpless smile. When Keith saw she really wasn’t letting the incident bother her, he finally relaxed.

“But I don’t think Sarah will let this go so easily,”

Se added.

Sarah had already come up with such an extreme way to slander Keith. Serena didn’t believe Sarah would just go home and quietly reflect on her actions.

Keith, of course, wasn’t worried. He nodded in a direction. Serena looked confused, so Keith spoke up. “There are cameras. More than one.”

His office held so many important files. There was no way he could just let people come and go freely. Sarah’s little act was nothing but a joke.

Serena realized her worries had been unnecessary and nodded, pressing her lips together.

“Even though I know you trust me, I still want to say I’m sorry.” Keith took Serena’s hand. His eyes, usually

“I should’ve stayed away from her the second I noticed what she was trying to do. Then, you never would’ve misunderstood,” he added.

Even though Serena wasn’t worried anymore, the shock and little pang of hurt she’d felt earlier had been real. Keith couldn’t stand seeing her upset.

He reached out and hugged her, patting her thin back gently. “You can always trust me. I never once thought there would be another leading lady in roy life besides you.”

Serena couldn’t help smiling at his words. “I know, Keith. I should’ve kept trusting you all along.”

James quietly closed the office door for them, with a touch of relief in his eyes. He thought, ‘Seeing Mr. Brannon and Ms. Gray getting on so well, I could finally feel at ease.’

That night, it turned out Serena’s worries weren’t unfounded.

Sarah had stayed quiet all afternoon, but by evening, news that the CEO of Brannon Creative Group had coerced her shot straight to the top of the trending list.

Sarah had recorded a video, saying she wanted to report Keith by name. She claimed that he’d blocked her shop out of spurned love, that he was angry because he’d tried to force himself on her and failed.

Brannon Creative Group’s PR team had been monitoring the situation, as they’d expected this. They silently noted down all the media outlets and influencers Sarah had contacted.

From now on,

those media sources were officially on Brannon Creative

Greblacklist.

But because they were still compiling the list, the company hadn’t rushed to release the security footage to expose Sarah’s lies. This sparked discussions among many netizens unaware of the truth.
