Yvonne’s case moved quickly. When the first trial sentenced her to the maximum penalty. Serena held the verdict in her hands and finally felt a weight lift from her chest.

Mom, I’ve done everything I can, she thought to herself quietly.

Outside the courthouse, Kyana stood there with a tear–streaked face. The moment she saw Serena, she lost control and rushed forward, trying to claw at her face.

With just one look from Sebastian, the bodyguards beside him stepped in and stopped her.

“Serena, you heartless, vicious b*tch! Don’t you have nightmares at night? My mom treated you so well, and this is how you repay her? You will die an awful death!”

Donald, who was standing nearby, turned and slapped her twice. “Shut up!”

Then, he quickly forced a smile. “Sebastian, please don’t take it to heart. She’s young and doesn’t think before she speaks.”

Sebastian’s cold gaze darkened. “Young? Isn’t she over twenty? Since she’s an adult, she should pay for her recklessness.”

Donald’s body stiffened. “I’ll send her abroad tomorrow. Would that be acceptable?”

“Abroad? That sounds more like a vacation.” Sebastian’s tone was calm but sharp. “I know a place that builds character. It’s in the countryside, and conditions are tough. What do you think, Donald?”

Donald realized that his younger daughter had completely angered this man, and he had no choice but to comply.

“I think that’s a good idea!” he answered.

Kyana stared at her father in horror. “Dad, have you lost your mind? I’m not going! I’m not going to some rural village! This is considered kidnapping!”

Donald slapped her again, feeling angered. “Be quiet! If you keep causing trouble, whether you even live to see your mother get out of prison will depend on your luck!”

At last, Kyana burst into loud sobs. Compared to harsh living conditions, it was her father’s warning that truly terrified her. She didn’t want to live a hard life, but she didn’t want to die either.

On the day Kyana was sent off to a remote village, Donald’s company stock price crashed. He couldn’t be bothered about how his daughter’s life would be from now on.

Watching the market trend, Serena thought, Sebastian sure moves fast.

She picked up her phone and sent him a message. “Let’s go out for dinner tonight. My treat.”

Sebastian looked at her text and let out a soft chuckle. “Alright, whatever you say.”

But when he arrived at the reserved restaurant, Serena was nowhere to be seen.

“Ms. Steele informed us that she’s running late. She’s asked that you please wait patiently.”

Sebastian raised an eyebrow slightly and responded with a calm nod. He then took out his phone and began handling work matters.

He was actually supposed to work overtime that night, but to keep the date, he had allowed himself to slack off for once.

After an unknown amount of time, the lights inside the private room suddenly went out. Just as Sebastian was about to stand, a faint candlelight appeared at the door, accompanied by a woman’s soft singing. “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you!”

A faint smile curved on Sebastian’s lips as his burning gaze fixed on the woman’s glowing face. “Sebastian, happy thirty–fourth birthday! Congratulations, you’re another year older!”

His eyelid twitched. The way she said it almost sounded like she was insulting him.

“Make a wish! Hurry and blow out the candles!” Serena pushed him gently toward the cake and urged him on.
