Unwilling Trophy Wife (Serena and Victor) novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189

“Can’t believe a homewrecker has the nerve to show her face around here,” Nicole said with obvious sarcasm. This time, even the colleagues who one sh) got along well with Serena stayed quiet and didn’t defend her.

Serena frowned, “Are you talking about me?”

Nicole crossed her arms and let out a mocking laugh. “Well, whoever feels guilty, that’s who I’m talking about. If you hadn’t done anything wrong, why would you be so defensive right now?”

Even an idiot could pick up on what she was implying, but Serena couldn’t figure out where this new rumor had come from.

Nicole continued, “Mr. Brannon already has a family, but you keep hanging around him every day. You even moved into his house. You have no shame at all, so why are you afraid of what people say now?”

Serena did live in Keith’s house, but they weren’t living together. Besides, she was paying rent. She had every right to stay there.

“Spreading rumors without proof can get you in legal trouble,” Serena said coldly. “And how exactly did you find out about all this? Are you sure whoever told you actually wanted to help you?”

Nicole’s face changed. She’d heard all this from an old classmate by accident, but the person had sounded so convincing that Nicole believed every word. Most importantly, she could see that Keith treated Serena differently, so she was definitely just gambling that Serena wouldn’t be able to prove it.

“Of course I can guarantee it! My classmate is here today, and the truth will come out soon enough. You know whether you did it or not,” Nicole shot

back.

Just as she finished speaking, a strange woman appeared at the design department entrance. Nicole quickly waved her over. “Tara, I’m over here!”

The woman, Tara Corwin, walked in and looked directly at Serena. Suddenly, her expression turned desperate, and she grabbed Serena’s arms with both hands. “You’re Serena, right? I’m begging you to leave Keith and give Alyssa a normal life. Please?” she said.

Tara dropped to her knees almost instantly. Serena was startled by her sudden movement and instinctively reached out to steady her. “Who are you? Do you know Alyssa?”

Tara was crying so hard she looked like a mess. “Of course I know her. I’m Alyssa’s biological mother. As her mom, I’m begging you to stop destroying my family and let Alyssa come back to me.”

Serena was completely confused by everything Tara was saying. The only thing she understood was that this stranger was supposedly Alyssa’s birth mother, who had never shown up before.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t understand what you mean. I’ve never done any of the things you’re talking about,” Serena said.

“I do know Alyssa, but she likes me because we get along well. I never interfered in your marriage, so why are you here trying to make me look bad?”

Serena frowned, trying to make sense of everything in front of all these people. But Tara just cried harder and got more worked up, even starting to hit

herself.

“Please, I’m begging you! I’ll get on my knees, you can hit me if you want. Just give me Keith and Alyssa back! Please have some mercy on me,” Tara said desperately.

The looks from everyone around them became complicated, like they were already convinced Serena was exactly the kind of person Tara was describing. Just then, Keith got word of what was happening and showed up at the design department.

Keith’s face immediately turned cold when he saw what was happening. “Tara, what the hell are you doing here causing a scene?”
