Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 506

Julian Leung left the country five days ago?

Serena Shum's mind went blank at the news.

Did that mean Julian Leung had already skipped town right as the scandal with The Myriad Galleria was starting to blow up?

"Impossible..." Serena Shum murmured to herself. "That's not what he told me..."

"The master left a message for you."

The butler's voice cut through her panic. "He said that greedy people often die from their own foolishness. You'd best look after yourself."

The call disconnected.

Serena sat stunned in her car, staring at the tightly shut gates. Suddenly, a sharp, hysterical laugh broke from her lips.

She had risked everything to bring down Grace and Damien.

She never imagined that after being so clever her whole life, she would be so thoroughly played at the last second.

"I hope you rot in hell, Julian Leung!"

Serena gritted her teeth and slammed her hands on the steering wheel.

If Grace had been there, she probably would have found it immensely satisfying.

***

It was the day of the Winter Solstice.

The Clarke family's villa was decorated with festive red lanterns, their warm yellow light spilling onto the snow-covered ground, creating a cozy atmosphere.

Mrs. Lew had prepared a large pot of sweet glutinous rice balls filled with black sesame paste, the steam rising in fragrant clouds.

Grace blew on a spoonful of the sweet soup before eating it with a contented look on her face.

Sitting in her high chair, Gianna saw her mother eating and cooed, reaching out her little hands.

Grace leaned away slightly.

"No, Gianna, you can't have any."

Gianna pouted and rolled her little eyes.

Grace couldn't help but giggle at her daughter's antics.

These peaceful days felt almost surreal to Grace.

She wasn't sure how she had made it through the nearly thirty years of her past.
