Unwilling Trophy Wife (Serena and Victor) novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258

“Answer it,” Serena said softly. “Even if we ignore him now, he’ll just keep pestering us later. Better to get everything out in the doon.”

Once they were inside, Keith answered the call.

Daniel’s anxious voice came through right away. “Mr. Brannon, we really know we’re wrong. Winnie’s still young. She can’t go to jail. Please, I’m begging you, let her go!”

“Just because Winnie’s young, she can go around trying to take someone’s life?” Keith shot back. “If I hadn’t saved Serena in time, do you have any iden what would’ve happened to her today?”

As soon as Keith spoke, Daniel’s heart sank.

in business, Keith had always been authoritarian. No one dared to go against his decisions, especially on something like this:

“Mr. Brannon, how about this? I’m willing to make no profit from our collaboration. From now on, any deal with our company- give up all my shares for free,” Daniel said.

He tried to stay calm. “Serena’s just an employee of yours. And she’s unharmed, isn’t she?”

Serena heard this and spoke up from the side. “Excuse me, Mr. Banks. Even an ordinary employee’s life is still a life, isn’t it? Besides, I’m not just some irrelevant employee. I’m Keith’s girlfriend.”

Daniel froze the moment he heard Serena’s voice. At that point, he finally realized there was probably no turning back.

Keith was someone who fiercely protected his own. Even if it had been a regular employee, Daniel wouldn’t have been sure that he could persuade Keith to let Winnie go. Let alone that Serena and Keith were actually a couple.

“We won’t accept any kind of private settlement. Everything will be left to the police to judge fairly. Mr. Banks, you’d better watch your step. Don’t contact me again,” Keith said in a cold voice, then quickly hung up, ignoring Daniel’s pleas on the other end.

“You shouldn’t go out alone for a while,” Keith said, looking serious. “After what happened last night, I had someone look into Daniel, He’s involved in a lot of shady business.”

Hearing that, Serena was startled.

Keith went on, “If you rush to confront him, he might get desperate and drag you down with Winnie.”

The way Daniel had defended Winnie earlier showed he would never let this go easily.

“This is a society ruled by law. He shouldn’t be that crazy, should he?” Serena ventured. But when she met Keith’s worried gaze, she suddenly felt helpless and fell silent, not knowing what to say.

Keith said, “Your safety is the top priority. We can’t take any chances. If something like today happens again, I might not be there in time to protect you.”

Seeing how serious he was, Serena had no choice but to give in. “Got it. Starting today, I won’t go

out alone.”

‘If only to stop Keith from worrying about me, I’ll let the people around me keep me safe,’ Serena thought to herself.

“Good girl. Later, I’ll pick a few people. They won’t get in the way of your daily life, don’t worry.” A flicker of thought crossed Keith’s eyes.

He thought, ‘It seems that in the next few days, I’ll need to keep an eye on Winnie’s trial and dig deeper into the shady businesses Daniel’s involved in.

‘Only by dealing with all of it can I put an end to the trouble for good.’
