Unwilling Trophy Wife (Serena and Victor) novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87

Jacob gave Erika a slight up, motioning her to step aside. Then, with what he thought was a charming demeanor, he said, “Misis, how about joining ma for dinner tonight? I’d like to thank you for your generosity today”

Erika’s smile froze instantly at his words. Her hand, which had been looped through Jacob’s arm, clenched lightly. She couldn’t believe he would actually Invite Serena ight in front of her

“He has never been this gentlemanly to me? Erika thought bitterly.

“Mr. Banks, what’s the meaning of this? You literally just promised to take me out for Glonish dinner. How can you back out so quickly?” she demanded.

Jacob frowned, clearly annoyed by

y Erika’s outburst.

He turned slightly, pulled out a gold lighter from his pocket, and flicked it open with practiced ease, then gave a lazy grin

“Darling, we can all go together, can’t we? She’s your colleague, after all. It’s only proper that I treat your coworker to dinner, no? Jacob drawled

“Sorry, but we’re not interested in having dinner with you two. We’ll be leaving now,” Serena said. With that, she took Daisy by the hand and turned to

“Ms. Gray, since you aren’t into Glonish food, perhaps I could treat you to something else instead?” Jacob didn’t give up, reaching out his arm to block their path, his gaze locked on Serena, refusing to let her go.

“I appreciate your kindness, Mr. Banks, but my friend and I have other commitments. We really don’t have time for this. Please step aside.” Serena’s cone

was cold

Jacob’s smile froze. He hadn’t expected Serena to turn him down so bluntly, without even sparing his pride.

His outstretched hand hovered mid–air for an awkward moment before he slowly lowered it. He said coldly, “Ms. Gray, are you deliberately snubbing me?”

Erika watched the scene unfold, so furious she could barely breathe. “Mr. Banks, are you here for me or just to compete for her attention? If you keep this up, I’m seriously going to lose my temper,” she snapped.

Though her words were sharp, the pleading undertone in her voice was unmistakable

Jacob’s expression darkened. He had no patience left to humor Erka. “What’s all this racket about? Can’t you be satisfied with just one dress? Have you no shame?”

Serena watched with cold detachment, saying nothing more. She simply t

ly took Daisy’s hand and turned to leave

woman has ever treated me like this before, he fumed inwardly, his pride stung and his ego

Jacob glared furiously at Serena’s retreating figure. No wo

bruised.

After they left the mall, Daisy finally let out a huge sigh of relief. But almost immediately, her cheeks flushed red, and she clenched her fists tightly.

Serena, are you just going to let this go! Erika is way out of line. And Jacob is downright disgusting,” Daisy fumed.

“Daisy, getting angry at that kind of trash is just a waste of your time, understand?” Serena said calmly.

Serena thought to herself, Jacob is nothing but an entitled playboy throwing his weight around, and Enka is just riding his coattails, acting all high and mighty. Getting involved with people like them would only drag me down to their level”

Daisy pouted angrily and said, “Just wait and see. Sooner or later, those two will get what’s coming to them.”

After they parted ways, Serena checked the time. Seeing it was still early, she decided to visit Alyssa and hailed a cab to the hotel.

Serena nodded gently. “Where’s Alyssa?”

“She’s in her room reading picture books, Fiona replied.
