Chapter 39
Streamer Zach’s questioning gaze without a hint of tear
Η
Crossing her arms, she coldly said, “However, I was the one who pulled her out of the countryside back then out of respect for that she parsed before adding, “When she dies and is cremated, just let me know. I’ll send at least two hundred dollars for her to be properly laid to rest”
Zach’s eyes widened in shock. The cruel words that came from Serena’s mouth were completely unrecognizable to him.
It was hard to believe that they had come from the same person he once knew so well.
Wendy could feel the undisguised malice in Serena’s tone, and her heart missed a heat.
“Zach, I just wanted to persuade Serena to talk to you, but I didn’t expect her to curse me out
“You call that cursing you out? Enough with the nonsense. You both should leave now” Serena was overwhelmed with frustration. She stepped back toward the foyer, ready to shut the door and send them m
But before the door could close, Zach’s hand gripped the doorframe firmly “Wait, Rena, I… I still want to talk to you
Serena paused, regretting not kicking him at first before shutting the door. Now, with his strength, she couldn’t shut the door on his face.
As the door slowly created open under Zach’s grip, Serena caught a glimpse of the flicker of resentment in Wendy’s eyes.
Wendy was gripping Zach’s other arm desperately as if holding on to her last lifeline.
With Wendy clinging to Zach, Serena gritted her teeth. She gathered all her strength and slammed the door shot,
“Ah-“Zach yelped in pain, his fingers caught in the door. His hand began to bruise and swell from the impact.
“Zach, are you okay? How could Serena be so heartless!” Wendy exclaimed, her eyes full of concern as she gently cradled his hand, about to continue scolding Serena
But Each gently pushed her hands aside and pressed his injured fingers against his chest. He walked back to the door, his voice softer now, like it used to be when he was trying to win Serena ovT
“Rensa, my hand hurts so much… it really does…
Just one door away, Serena heard his lake, pitiful tone. It felt strangely nostalgic, and the memories began to flood back to her,
Back in school, on the basketball court, he had injured his hand dribbling the ball. Even with the not between them, he had called out to her, asking lier not to rush off to the Theary but to stay and tend to him first.
Back then, without a word, she had walked straight into the basketball court and stayed by his side, tending to his slightly swollen fingers.
The sounds of her classmates teasing them filled the air.
Zach would casually draped his arms around her shoulder, murmuring repeatedly, “Rena, you treat me the best.
The words from the past echoed in her mind, blending with what Zach was saying now.
Outside, he continued calling softly, “Look at me one more time”
Serena slowly snapped back to reality, but the tenderness she once felt for him was gone. Her heart had hardened, and it was as cold as ice. “If you don’t leave now, I’ll call the poor.”
It was so annoying. She hated the way he kept calling her over and over.
Without hesitation, Serena dialed the security office of the villa community.
A short while later, the shouting outside abruptly ceased. The well–trained security guards surrounded the two intruders.
Wendy stood behind Zach, her face full of fear as she clutched at his sleeve, putting on an act of helplessness.
“Serena is so heartless. She really called someone to chase us off. Zach, I’m so scared. Do you think they actually do something to us?”
