This man strode into the Zenith Rehabilitation Center, came to Serena Jennings, and turned to the two security guards: 1
“You shouldn’t be so rude to ady.”
The two security guards instinctively stepped back, as the man smiled and extended his hand to Serena.
“Hello Miss Jennings, I amn ckwood.”
Serena did not shake his hand, but cautiously asked, “How do you know myst name is Jennings?”
“I not only know yourst name is Jennings, but I also know you have a friend named Lana Xavier, who works as a vocal music teacher at
Next–Gen Academy.”
Serena’s brow furrowed deeper and deeper, realizing this man was up to no good.
“Who exactly are you and what do you want?”
Ian shrugged with a smile, “How about Miss Jennings take a walk with me? I hate these rehabilitation centers, they make me feel like a
patient.”
Serena was still hesitating, but Ian suddenly grabbed her wrist.
The security guards wanted to intervene, but saw the receptionist talking on the phone while subtly signaling them to let Serena leave.
Serena was taken out of Zenith Rehabilitation Center by Ian and forced into a car.
But now Serena understood thatn’s refinement was merely a fa?ade and an illusion.
were torn apart.
Jan took Serena to a private club.
Serena initially didn’t want to go in, butn said to her, “Don’t you want to know why your good friend Lana Xavier lost her job?”
In the dimly lit private room<b>, </b>only Serena andn faced each other.
“Now can you exin, what exactly do you want to do? And how did you know about Lana’s problem? Why did she lose her job?” Serena asked proactively.
She had too many questions, and she couldn’t bear not getting any answers.
Ian leisurely poured himself a ss of whiskey with ice, sat on the sofa, and patted his thigh.

“Sit here, sit here and I’ll tell you.”
Serena supported herself on a cane and was about to leave.
“I am the head of Veridian International Education, which Next–Gen Academy belongs to… Your friend Lana Xavier was absent from work
for many days without reason, and I reasonably instructed the principal over there to fire her.”
Serena realized thatn’s mention of Lana’s absenteeism was likely during the time she was being cared for in the hospital.
“But Lana said she was on annual leave…”
“The system didn’t record it; verbal ims don’t count.”
“These days, jobs are hard to find, especially when being fired. It’s not easy to stay in the field of education.”
Ian had said enough<i>, </i>if Serena still didn’t understand, then she’d be a fool.
“So what do you want me to do? What must I do for you to give Lana her job back?”
Behind his gold–rimmed sses, Ian’s narrow eyes lit up, and he smiled.
“I like dealing with straightforward people.”
He took out a pen and paper and handed it to Serena.
“I need you to write a guarantee letter.”
“A guarantee letter?”
“Yes, a guarantee letter. As I say, you write, and after signing and stamping it, I keep my word and you’ll be able to contact Lana Xavier to
see if her job is back.”
Serena also liked dealing with decisive people, butn’s intentions were too strong, she had to be cautious.
“What do you want from me?”
“You..”
Serena’splexion changed.
Ian couldn’t help butugh, “I’m not interested in you, a housewife, a middle–aged woman, you wouldn’t think you still have value, would
you?<b>” </b>
“Do you think you’re being amusing with your breathy humor?”
Serena retorted.
Her intuition told her that thisn came prepared, knew something about her, and the trap was already set, just waiting for her to jump

The Lockwood Group.
Mr. Miller walked into the General Manager’s office.
“President Lockwood, the recent fluctuations in thepany’s stock price are likely due to the ckwood Family’s antics.”
“The ckwood Family…”
Caleb Lockwood sneered, “Causing trouble as soon as they’re back in the country, keep an eye on them!”
“Yes.”
After Mr. Miller left, Caleb Lockwood dialed ire Shaw’s number.
“Are you busy?”
“Not really, still working on samples for the LD Jewelry Fashion Week,” ire Shaw answered on the other end of the line.
“Ian ckwood is back, did you know?”
“…Hmm.”
“Did you attend the ss reunion?”
ire Shaw detected Caleb Lockwood’s displeasure and immediately exined, “It was Shelly who invited me, I didn’t know they were
actually weing Ian ckwood back… Caleb, you won’t me me, right?”
Caleb Lockwood fell into a long silence, finally responding with two words:
“I won’t.”
ire Shaw pretended to let out a sigh of relief.
“Don’t worry, even ifn ckwood asks to see me, I would never meet him alone. I know you dislike him, and I do too, besides… it seems
like he’s still not over me…”
At this point, ire Shaw abruptly changed the topic.
“Let’s talk about something else, oh, my parents mentioned that thanks to you, they were able to secure financing for the rehabilitation
center. They want to invite you for dinner, do you have any free time?”
“No need for such formalities”
“Then let’s just treat it as… a simple family meal…”
ire Shaw finished tentatively, without seeing any objections from Caleb Lockwood.
She chatted a bit more casually with Caleb Lockwood before hanging up the phone, a satisfied smile growing on her face.

Caleb was indeed jealous!
“Ian ckwood’s return at this time is great!”
ire Shaw couldn’t help but mutter to herself.
She truly disliked Ian ckwood.
Andn liking her was also true.
“Anyway, he’s just a bootlicker, might as well use him if he’s avable.”
At the private club, Serena was writing the guarantee letter.
Once the guarantee letter waspleted, she signed and stamped it.
She stared at the puzzled Ian and took out her phone to call Lana Xavier.
“Hey Lana, are you at work?”
On the phone, Lana Xavier hesitated slightly.
She didn’t want Serena to know she lost her job, just because she was in the hospital helping Serena.
“That shabby ce, I’ve wanted to leave for a while, now a better opportunity awaits, the pay doubles.”
Lana Xavier wasn’t the type to keep things to herself, and in the end she confessed she had already left, though she said it was due to job
jumping rather than being fired.
Serena fell silent.
It seemedn wasn’t lying.
“I believe with your capability, tripling your sry wouldn’t be an issue.”
After saying that, Serena hung <b>up</b>, raising an eyebrow slightly and signaling to Ian.
“Yes, double the sry, oh no, triple it.”
Jan looked at Serena while he said this<b>, </b>seeing her slightly nod as if she agreed with his actions.
After the arrangements wereplete, Jan extended a hand to Serena.
“Can I have the guarantee letter now?”
Serena first confirmed with Lana Xavier, who indeed received a new employment contract from her formerpany, with triple the
sry.

“Here.”

She handed the guarantee letter to Ian, this time without hesitation.
Ian read the guarantee letter twice, finding no issues, and shrugged with a smile.
“A woman about to divorce is truly fearsome, a husband ranks below an ordinary friend, huh!”
