After finishing her IV, Sebastian offered to give her a ride, but she refused. And seeing that Serena was firm about it, he let it go. He figured a decision as big as marriage was something she needed to think through alone.

Once Serena said goodbye, she headed straight to the auction house. The event had long ended by the time she arrived.

With her attorney ID, she went directly to the security room and requested access to the corridor footage from that night. Everything went smoothly enough. With the surveillance video and the hospital’s medical report in hand, Serena walked straight into the police station.

Serena never let herself walk away with a loss–no matter what.

Once she received the report slip, she headed back to her apartment feeling quite satisfied. Only then did she notice the bracelet on her wrist.

“I’m good, boss. I’ve adjusted.”

“Great. This afternoon, you and Shawn are heading to Credence Electronics for due diligence.”

Serena and Shawn answered in unison, “Got it.”

Internal dynamics were a mess, and due diligence was anything but easy. Their head of finance, for example, was the CEO’s maternal uncle. The moment Serena arrived, he tried to put her in her place.

“Mr. Yonge, Ms. Steele, these are the financial statements from the past five years. As for the contracts you requested, those are archived. We can’t provide them.”
