A pang of pain shot through Serena, but before she could speak, Eliana Lambert, who had appeared in the doorway, rushed forward and tore Liam from her arms.
Panicked and furious, Eliana rounded on Serena. “Stella Hale, who said you could touch my child? What do you think you’re doing to him?”
Serena’s eyes narrowed slightly at Eliana’s frantic state. For the boy’s sake, she kept her voice calm, a faint, knowing smile on her face. “Eliana, why the theatrics? The little guy took a tumble. I was just helping him up. What could I possibly do to him? The real question is, why are you so on edge?”
Serena’s inquisitive gaze studied Eliana, who finally realized she had overreacted.
She looked at Serena, standing there so poised and elegant, her calm smile giving her an air of untouchable

“Keep throwing money around like this, and you’ll be bankrupt in three months. The Grants can bail you out for a few months, but they won’t be there for you forever.”
Her voice was a gentle stream, yet it carried an undeniable pressure.
Beatrice knew it was true; the stock had been in freefall since the livestream.
“Stella Hale, this is all your fault!” Beatrice snapped, deflecting the blame onto Serena. “If you hadn’t entered that competition, none of this would be happening!”
The divorce was final. Why couldn’t this woman just stay away from their lives?
Serena found this almost funny. “I’m not sure I follow. What does my career have to do with you?”
She asked, one eyebrow raised, her bright eyes sharp and piercing.
“Hmph! You’re the woman our family cast aside. What right do you have to be in the spotlight?” Beatrice

“Heh…” A cold laugh escaped Serena’s lips as a realization dawned on her.
