After giving Mr. Miller the medicine, Serena Jennings drove to Newcross Real Estate.
She had arranged with Cynthia Fulton to hand over the jewelry for the wedding.
Serena wasn’t familiar with Newcross Real Estate; it was her first time there.
Cynthia texted her on WeChat, saying she was busy with wedding preparations and couldn’t pick up the jewelry herself, so she sent an assistant and asked Serena to meet at the third building at 2 PM.
Serena asked the security guard for directions and explored her way to the third building.
"Serena!"
Suddenly, someone called her from behind.
Serena turned around in response to the voice, and Justin Nash’s figure appeared in her widened eyes.
Today, Justin looked somewhat different.
He wore a short white down jacket, light blue jeans, and a black beanie. His aura from head to toe had nothing to do with a big company’s president and was more like an ordinary college student inexperienced in the world.
Serena couldn’t help but be taken aback.
This outfit on Justin matched the impression she had when she first met him.
"What are you doing here?"
Justin pretended it was a chance meeting with Serena.
In reality, he was intentionally waiting there.
"I’m here to deliver the wedding jewelry to your fiancée."
Serena lifted the gift bag in her hand.
"She said her assistant was waiting for me at the third building, but I haven’t found it yet."
"It’s okay, give it to me, I’ll take you to meet her."
"Huh?"
Serena was startled, only to hear Justin continue, "I’m just about to find Cynthia Fulton. What if she’s not satisfied with the jewelry? I’ll take you with me."
"Hmm... that’s fine, too."
Serena walked beside Justin and left Newcross Real Estate. There was a person’s distance between them.
Serena noticed that Justin and Cynthia were about to get married, but Justin still referred to Cynthia by her full name.
"Let’s take my car; it’s nearby. I’ll bring you back afterward."
Justin insisted, and Serena had to sit in the passenger seat of the flashy red Ferrari sports car.
After Serena got in the car, Justin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
His seemingly casual outfit today was actually deliberately chosen.
Because he intended to create an "accidental encounter" with Serena, and then revert to the friend he used to be with her.
Justin drove quietly, and Serena didn’t speak, until the car turned onto a road very familiar to her.
"Justin, where are you taking me?"
Serena sensed something was amiss.
At the end of this road, there was only one building.
And Cynthia couldn’t possibly be there.
Because that building—
was a juvenile detention center.
Justin didn’t answer and continued driving.
Serena couldn’t help but become anxious.
She realized that Justin wasn’t planning to take her to see Cynthia at all.
More importantly, it was highly likely their meeting at Newcross Real Estate wasn’t accidental.
In fact, Serena guessed right.
Justin knew Cynthia had sent an assistant to the third building to wait for Serena to deliver the jewelry, so he sent the assistant away in advance.
Up ahead, the distant silhouette of the detention center loomed, drawing nearer.
As the somber aura of the detention center came fully into view, Justin slowly parked the car by the roadside.
Justin got out of the car, and Serena followed suit.
Seeing Serena frown, her expression heavy, Justin felt a little flustered inside.
"I didn’t mean anything else, don’t be afraid... I just wanted to... take a walk with you alone, talk..."
Justin’s gaze flickered.

"Are you... still not divorced from Caleb Lockwood?"
