Serena clicked on the photo. It was a screenshot of Vanessa''s social media post from one of her friends. In one of the pictures, Xavier''s profile was clearly visible.


    Serena''s breath caught in her throat for a few seconds. She quickly stepped out, clutching her phone, and carefully examined Vanessa''s post. It had been publishedtest night, around eleven. Though she didn''t know what had happened, it was clear Xavier had taken her to the hospital and then driven her home.


    Although Serena was no longer pursuing Xavier, he had always been an unattainable ideal to her, a kind of first love.


    These pictures still stung her deeply.


    She felt like Vanessa had posted them deliberately to show her, but she desperately wanted to know what had happened. Yet, she didn''t dare ask Xavier.


    Just then, Serena saw Eleanor appear in the hallway. Thinking of her rtionship with Xavier, she walked over to her.


    "Ellie, good morning. Can I ask you something?" Serena asked, looking anxious.


    "What is it?" Eleanor looked at her.


    Serena showed her the photos from Vanessa''s social media post and pleaded, "Ellie, could you please ask Xavier what''s going on? It''s really important to me."


    Eleanor frowned, also quite surprised by the photos.


    "Ellie, please, I''m begging you. Just send Xavier a message and ask him what happened. I really need to know," Serena sped her hands together, as if she wouldn''t be able to rest until she got an answer.


    "I-I don''t think it''s my ce to ask," Eleanor said, shaking her head. How could she pry into Xavier''s private life?


    "Dr. Sutton, the director is waiting for you in his office," a nurse hurried over to inform her.


    Eleanor said to Serena, "I have to go to a meeting."


    Serena bit her lip, left with no other choice. "Fine, I''ll ask him myself," she said, picking up her phone.


    Serena sat down on a nearby chair and sent a screenshot of Vanessa''s post to Xavier. "Xavier, can I ask what this is about?"


    After sending the message, she worried he might ignore her. After all, she had left him with the impression of being unreasonable and spoiled.


    "Ellie saw it too," Serena added.


    Sure enough, as soon as she sent that, a reply from Xavier came through. "I was at a restaurantst night and identally hit her with my car. I took her to


    he hospital for


    a check-up. That''s all."


    Reading Xavier''s reply, Serena instantly felt relieved. Knowing Vanessa, she suspected this was an opportunity Vanessa had deliberately created.


    How despicable.


    Just then, another message from Xavier arrived. "Please exin this to Eleanor for me."


    Serena blinked and scratched her head. This was something she definitely couldn''t let her brother know about, or he would get jealous.


    "Okay, Xavier, I''ll tell Ellie," Serena replied, finally understanding why Xavier liked Eleanor.


    Because now, she herself both admired and adored Eleanor.


    In the conference room, after Eleanor finished her meeting, she found Serena


    waiting for her in the hallway.


    "Ellie, I asked Xavier. He said he


    identally hit Vanessa with his car


    at a restaurantst night and just


    took her to the hospital for a check up. It was nothing," Serena exined.


    Eleanor nodded slightly after hearing the exnation.


    "Ellie, now you see how Vanessa twists the truth and creates drama, right? If I hadn''t asked Xavier for the truth, we all would have misunderstood." Serena thought angrily, realizing that the intimate photos Vanessa used to post with her brother were probably fabricated in the same way.


    Back in her office, Eleanor''s phone buzzed. She picked it up and saw a message from Xavier. "Did Serena exin things to you? I don''t want you to get the wrong idea."


    Eleanor sighed softly. "Yes, she told me." Then she took the initiative to ask, "Any progress with Vivian''s custody case?"


    "The hearing is next week in Drexford. I''ll do everything I can to win," Xavier replied.
