Leap OF Fate novel Chapter 24

Serene was seething in anger. She puffed her cheeks and took deep breaths as she tried to control herself. The warmth on her face was unmistakable; so she knew she must be as red as a tomato, but she did not care about that now.

She stood up from her chair and looked down at him. She took advantage of the temporary position of power she had over him. Glaring angrily, her voice shaking, she pointed at his face, “If you think you can bribe me with your compensation, Mr. Rain, think again! I will never give my eggs to you!”

She did not bother waiting for his response. She stormed out of the cafe in her angry strides, not even bothering to look back.

Serene left Justin stunned and puzzled. She was long gone, but he remained in his seat, looking in the direction she stormed out of. What just happened?

The more he thought about the words she said, the more painful his head became. He shook his head and massaged his temples to ease the growing headache he felt. She made little sense at all. Eggs? What’s up with that?

His fingers stopped massaging his temples when he suddenly thought of something. His face darkened and his aura became cold. He took out his phone and searched for a contact from his list. When the call connected, he coldly spat “Chester…”

Serene angrily crossed the street to go back to Innovative Data. She went straight to the basement parking and got in her car. Because of the intense emotions she felt, she opted not to return to Lewis Tech immediately. She wanted to calm down first.

After driving aimlessly around the city, she found herself by the seaside. She parked her car at the side of the road and rolled down her window, allowing the ocean wind to comb her hair. She fumed with anger.

“Those people would really not let me have a peaceful life!” As if the strong wind did not tousle her hair enough, she angrily ran her hands through them. To some extent, she admired Justin’s love for his brother. He had gone to great lengths for him.

The high and mighty Justin Rain dared to bribe a lowly former employee to return to Hyacinth Bay just to fulfill his brother’s wishes. She sneered at the thought.

Chester is really something. His greed knows no end. He not only stole Bryan from her, now he wanted her to make up the other 32 chromosomes of their baby. “If that isn’t being greedy, then I don’t know what is!” she muttered.
