Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 706

Refusing to believe the fire was simply a case of "faulty wiring," Kyson launched a ruthless investigation. It didn't take long to uncover that it was arson.

The culprit was a disgruntled employee who was furious about having his performance bonus docked. He wanted to burn down the warehouse to make the company suffer.

In reality, the guy had made several massive errors at work, and the docked pay was merely a warning. Instead of taking accountability, he held a grudge and decided to resort to arson.

He thought his plan was flawless, completely unaware that Serena would walk by at the exact right moment.

The company immediately called the police, and the man was arrested on the spot.

"I just did what I had to do," Serena said humbly. "Actually, my parents have been begging to meet you for years. They want to thank you in person for saving my life. They were invited tonight as my plus-ones—would you mind seeing them for just a minute?"

It was so rare to actually see Stella, and her parents had been talking about it endlessly. Knowing Stella was at the gala tonight, Serena couldn't help but ask.

It was only later that Serena found out Stella was a major shareholder in the company.

It finally made sense why Kyson Sterling, the ruthless CEO of Astral, had instantly agreed to help her family back then just on Stella's word.

Astral Pharmaceuticals had given Serena a second chance at life. She loved the company deeply, and doing everything she could to protect it brought her genuine happiness.

Stella nodded. "Of course, I'd love to."

Since Serena's parents were already in the ballroom, it wouldn't take much time. Refusing would just seem rude.

Serena lit up. "Thank you! I'll go get them!"

A few minutes later, Serena returned with an older couple in their sixties.
