As soon as Serena heard the excitement in Zoe’s voice, it hit her. Kendall must be Zoe’s daughter.
Serena agreed, “Sure, Mrs. Lambert. Just send me the location.”
Zoe was practically buzzing with excitement. “Okay!”
Serena set her phone down and stopped what she was doing.
She swiveled her office chair slightly, her gaze drifting out the floor–to–ceiling windows.
Winter was just around the corner, and the morning sunlight barely reached the lawn, casting dappled shadows that swayed gently in the breeze.
A hint of complicated emotions flickered in her beautiful eyes.
If Kendall really was Jasper’s real daughter, then all the grudges and conflicts between them would finally come to light.
Serena shut down her computer, asked Chris to swing by and pick her up, and left Lyra at home to watch over Liam.
She stood up, changed into something comfortable, and headed out.
Chris’s car was already waiting at the entrance.
The wind was strong, so she pulled her collar up against it, jogged over, and slid into the car.
“Chris, I sent you an address. That’s where we’re going,” Serena said.
With that, she closed the car door.
Chris pulled up the navigation on his phone. “Ms. Hale, let’s roll.”
Chris was driving a luxury car today, turning heads in the chilly wind. It was a real showstopper.
“Ms. Hale, when is Mrs. Brett coming back to work? The company’s still just an empty shell, and Mr. Fallon keeps harping on it at every morning meeting,” Chris said, clearly frustrated.
His nephew had been thrown in jail for embezzlement, and Cody couldn’t wait to make his move.
Serena’s voice was calm, but there was a deeper meaning behind her words. “Let him make a fuss. We stirred up all this drama just to get him riled up, didn’t we?”
Chris understood exactly what she meant. He focused on driving, but there was a wild glint in his eyes
That old geezer didn’t stand a chance against Serena.
Serena glanced out the window, the city buzzing with traffic. There was a faint smile in her eyes,
It had been a long time since life felt this peaceful. For once, she could take a moment to appreciate the scenery
Back then, she spent every day waiting for a love that never came, and it was pure agony
But now, she felt empty inside, like she was all alone. No, not quite, she still had her son.

Lost in thought, Serena barely noticed when they arrived at the meeting spot.
She got out of the car and made a beeline for the restaurant.
It was a traditional place, so she went straight upstairs to the second floor.
When she walked in, Zoe was already there, waiting for her in the private room.
Zoe was sitting by the window, lost in thought as she gazed outside.
When she heard footsteps, she turned to Serena, and her eyes suddenly brightened.
“You are here, Ms. Hale,” Zoe said, her smile gentle.
Serena could see the sorrow in Zoe’s eyes. She gave a slight nod and walked over to sit across from her.
