Chapter 281 A Warning

Donald’s temples throbbed slightly. “Rena, you can’t joke something like that.”

“Dad, what if I’m not joking? Were you aware of it all this

At that moment, Sebastian came home. The moment he

into the foyer, he spotted Donald.

“Donald, why didn’t you say you were coming? I wo told the chef to prepare something more lavish.”

Donald chuckled awkwardly. “Well, I missed Rena, so I thought I’d stop by.”

He wasn’t naive enough to think Sebastian was truly upset about not hosting him properly. He understood the implication–he should have informed them before coming.

“Sebastian, I have something else to take care of. I’ll head off first.”

As expected, Sebastian didn’t try to stop him. He only said, “Come by whenever you have time.”

He then added, “By the way, about that collaboration we discussed before–we might need to reconsider the logistics. Think it over and have your assistant contact mine.”

Donald’s smile stiffened, realizing it was a warning. If he couldn’t figure out where to stand, Sebastian probably wouldn’t help his company anymore.

“Of course. Rena is my daughter, and I’ll always put her first.”

With that, Donald didn’t linger. He left quickly and decisively.

Serena pursed her lips. “Are you really going to help him?”

“I could buy his company and give it to you. Let’s have your dad work for you instead. What do you think?”

But Serena didn’t accept the gesture and merely shook her head. “No, I wouldn’t want that.”

A faint light flickered in Sebastian’s eyes. “What do you want, then?”

“I want him to watch his company collapse. Make them bankrupt.”

“Alright. Whatever you want.”

Serena suddenly thought of what Lucinda had said before–he always agreed to everything she asked without conditions. If she didn’t say anything, he wouldn’t ask. He would just quietly help her.

Serena pulled him down to sit beside her. “Why don’t you ask me why?”

Sebastian smiled softly. “You’ll tell me when the time comes. If you’re not saying it now, it just means you don’t trust me enough yet. If my wife doesn’t trust me, then it must mean I haven’t done well enough.”

Serena was speechless. What was with the pitiful act?

She cleared her throat. “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you. I just don’t know how to say it.”

She explained, “Mom passed away too early. She believed she had given her whole heart to the man she loved, but maybe it was all misplaced. I just don’t want you to think my mom was foolish. stupid, or naive.

“I won’t.” Sebastian looked at her intently. “I won’t.”

“There’s nothing wrong with loving someone. The one who tramples on another person’s sincerity—that’s

the one who deserves to die.”

Serena suddenly found herself missing her mother. “Sebastian, my mom doesn’t even know I’m married yet. When you have time, could you go with me to visit her grave?”

Sebastian gently kissed the corner of her eye. “I will always have time. My time is yours to decide.”

Their wedding gifts had all been locked in the safe. These past few days had been so busy that Serena only now found time to sort through it.

Sebastian had long said that the money was hers to handle, so Serena did as she saw fit. Most guests had given cash, while a few had given bank cards directly.

After organizing all the gift records, Serena was shocked to discover that the total had already reached eight figures. Among them was a black card with no full name written on it, only the name ‘Murphy. She went through the entire guest list mentally, and there had been no such person.

Holding the black card, she saw a password written on the back. She went to the bank to check the balance, but when she saw the number in the account, she was stunned.

It had nine figures. The amount on that single card was more than all the other wedding gifts combined. Did Bryce secretly slip the card into the pile of wedding gifts?

Serena held the card tightly, feeling uneasy. She immediately headed to the Levine Group.

But when she arrived, she realized she might have arrived at a bad time.
