Obsessive CEO’s Sinful Wife

Chapter 76

After Serenity accepted the check, she left the store with Lisa

“Serenity, don’t you think that was a little strange? Lisa said as they exited the store. “Zeke actually handed you seven hundred and twenty thousand dollars without any hesitation, and Jenny was right there! Wasn’t he afraid that she would misunderstand?”

“It really is strange,” Serenity agreed.

“Do you think it’s because Zeke still has feelings for you?” Lisa wondered.

“No. He’s afraid. It’s as if he was afraid that I might get angry at Joy, and that would be detrimental to the Shaw Jarmily,” Serenity said, expressing her thoughts honestly.

Lisa found her statement somewhat absurd.

“Maybe he’s overthinking it. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“Who knows what goes on in his mind?” Serenity said with a shrug before looking at the check in her hand

“What are you going to do with this? Tear it up?” Lisa asked, knowing her friend well enough that she wouldn’t cash in the money for herself.

“Why waste it by tearing it up? I’ll just donate it to those in need,” Serenity replied and carefully tucked the check into her bag.

The two continued to window shop a little longer, had a meal, and as they were approaching the escalator to the underground parking lot after they were done, they saw Zeke, Joy, and Jenny,

The expressions on their faces were clearly dark and grim, almost as if they were having an argument.

At that moment, the three of them also spotted Serenity and Lisa approaching the escalator.

The longer Joy looked at Serenity, the angrier she became. She couldn’t understand what Serenity had done to brainwash her elder brother to make him so protective of her. He didn’t even allow a single negative word to make it past her lips without a scolding to follow it!

Especially just moments ago, when Zeke had warned her that if she picked on Serenity again, he would send her abroad!

Her anger bubbled dangerously beneath her skin, and it felt like she would explode at any moment.

Seeing how Serenity was about to walk past her to the escalator, Joy suddenly extended her foot and tripped the woman.

Serenity was cauglat off–guard, and she tumbled down the escalator.

Lisa exclaimed in shock and rushed to the side of the escalator, slamming the emergency stop button.

Even so, it was too late, and Serenity had already rolled down several steps.

Lisa hurriedly helped her friend up and glared at Joy.

“You deliberately hurt her! Do you know that your actions almost cost Serenity her life?!”

However, Joy replied indifferently, “It’s her own fault for not watching where she was going and running into my foot. That’s not my fault, and she can’t blame me now, can she?”

“stop talking nonsense with a straiglat face! We just need to look at the surveillance footage and we’ll know the truth!” Lisa retorted angrily.

Then, she anxiously looked over Serenity and asked, “Are you okay?!”

“It hurts a little,” Serenity muttered with a pasp.

Her entire body ached, and it felt like it was about to fall apart.

“Okay, I got it. I’ll take you to the hospital right away,” Lisa sald in an urgent tone.

“It’s just a small fall and you want to go to the hospital? You’re making a big fuss out of nothing! What’s next? Extorting medical expenses from me?” Joy sarcastically commented.

Before anyone else could react to her words, an unexpected crisp slap rang out suddenly

The force behind the blow was strong enough that Joy almost fell off the escalator.

“Zeke! Joy screamed in disbelief as she covered her face where she had been slapped.

Zeke’s face was unnaturally pale as he bellowed, “Apologize! Apologize to Serenity! Now!”
