Ian Blackwood turned around, adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses to look at Serena Jennings.
Serena stood in front of him, looking serious.
"The emerald necklace you broke was designed by one of my employees, not me. You have to give them an explanation."
Ian found Serena’s seriousness amusing.
He shrugged with a smile, turned back around, completely ignoring Serena’s words.
Serena sighed softly.
"It seems you’re not just targeting me, you’re simply a person of poor character and rude."
Ian paused his steps, glanced back with a smile.
As if tacitly agreeing with Serena, while also mocking her for being annoyed but unable to do anything to him.
Serena, catching Ian off guard, suddenly grabbed his wrist and collar.
Ian had no time to react before Serena performed a beautiful shoulder throw, slamming him onto the ground.
Sharon Sanders and Nancy Young were dumbfounded, speechless.
Ian lay on the ground face-up, more surprised and confused than in pain.
Was he just... thrown by a weak girl like Serena?
Ian blinked, his vision blurry.
Because his glasses had fallen off.
In Ian’s memory, he’d been in countless fights and had been hit before, but being shoulder-thrown by a woman was a first for him.
Ian found it quite novel, lying on the ground with a grin, laughing more and more, his shoulders trembling with laughter.
Serena watched quietly, contemplating whether to call an ambulance.
But she remembered from her martial arts training that this move wasn’t fatal to the head; Ian shouldn’t become brain-damaged from her throw!
Ian laughed foolishly for a while before getting up on his own, at which point he vaguely saw someone handing him his glasses.
Once he put on his glasses, Serena’s figure became clear in his vision.
"Who is the employee that designed the necklace I broke?"
Serena didn’t answer, just turned her head to glance at Sharon Sanders and Nancy Young.
According to Patrick Rhodes, Ian was known to be aggressive, seemingly indiscriminate when it came to physical confrontations, and Serena only wanted to get justice for Sharon Sanders, not for Ian to harass her.
Ian somewhat guessed Serena’s concerns from her reaction.
He strode over to Sharon and Nancy.
"I’m sorry..."
Hearing Ian apologize, both Sharon and Nancy were stunned.
Serena was also full of surprise.
Ian didn’t care who among the two employees designed the necklace he broke; he just apologized sincerely.
After apologizing, as he brushed past Serena, he whispered:
"That shoulder throw was quite impressive."
After Ian left, Sharon and Nancy gathered around Serena, asking curiously:
"Serena, who is that guy really?"
Serena looked towards the door and answered flatly, "...He’s a patient."
The Lockwood Group.
Wyatt Coleman was called into Caleb Lockwood’s office.
As the chief lawyer of Caleb’s legal team, he believed himself to be quite capable; otherwise, he wouldn’t have lasted so long at the Lockwood Group.
However...
"This still won’t do, take it back and redo it."
Caleb casually tossed a document in front of Wyatt.
Wyatt didn’t need to ask what the document was, nor how it needed to be modified.
Because he’d already asked several times before, and if he made Caleb repeat himself, he might as well pack up and leave.
Most of the time, Caleb was a good boss.
His instructions were clear and decisive, never dragging things out, and he was never capricious.
Wyatt used to enjoy working with Caleb.
But this time, it was really tough for him.
