Chapter 19
Serena receded in disgust at Zach’s touch. He had used that very hand to hold Wendy, yet now he was trying to hold onto her.
She angrily pulled her wrist out of his grasp, using the same tone Zach had once used to question her. “How long are you going to keep this up?
“I’m here to apologize He quickly closed their distance. “We haven I missed our chance. If you want to, we can choose another time to get married. This time, it’s entirely up to you I’ll make sure I have the time for it.”
“I don’t need that,” she replied, trying to leave.
Zach’s patience snapped. He had come through everything, facing danger just to find her, yet she still refused him.
“Serena, why can’t you be as understanding as Wendy—”
Serena turned without hesitation and slapped him across the face, her eyes red with anger.
“Remember this. The moment you went to Werdy instead of going to the courthouse with me, that was when we were already over,”
Sensing trouble, the security guards rushed toward them.
Serena took a step back, seeing the disbelief on Zach’s face, and let out a self–deprecating laugh. There was nothing hard to believe. She had simply left. It was exactly what he had

She tossed and tumed all night, unable to sleep.
The next morning, she arrived early at Jansen Group’s Pit department. Upon seeing her, her colleagues deliberately avoided her gaze, and not a single work was assigned to her.
Her gaze turned cold, and she wasn’t about to sit idly by, just as she was getting up to familiarize herself with the office, she received a call from Howard.
Come to my office Now!” be ordered
“What bad temper.“Serena covered her ears, irritated by the shout, and headed straight for the office on the top floor.
As soon as she walked in, Howard slammed several folders onto the desk and angrily asked, “Why did Larson Group block our project? Serena, have you done something to upset Mr. Larson? Didn’t I tell you to take good care of him? Is this how you do it?
Howard’s fingers were about to tear through the folders in his frustration.
