Hayden skipped some words.
Derek raised his eyebrows and was in a good mood.
“She can’t wait for a few days, does she?”
It seemed that he had overestimated Serina when he said to give her one month to consider. He should have said one week!
“Tell the staff at the service desk downstairs to let Serina in when she comes.”
“Mr. Derek, are you sure you want to meet Ms. Serina here in the company? Wouldn’t it be inappropriate?”
Hayden had seen Serina’s temper before. If she really made a scene in the office, it would be a disgrace to Derek.
Derek thought for a while. Although Lauren was not in the country, she still had her people in the company.
“You go to the door now. When she arrives, bring her in from the back.”
“Alright.” Hayden gave back the phone to Derek and immediately went downstairs.
Derek lowered his head and smiled. It had been days since he last saw this girl. He missed her so much, especially at night, when he was sleeping with no one in his arms.
At the bus station, Serina was surrounded by the crowd.
She had to admit that the influence of a forty-year-old woman was the strongest in the world. After shouting a few times, the woman drew a crowd of onlookers.
In addition, this was a bus station, so there were quite a lot of people. Some of them just got off the bus.
The woman still grabbed Serina’s clothes, “Everyone, come and see, she is Serina! The person who caused her sister’s miscarriage and wanted to kill her!”
Although Serina was not someone to be trifled with, she had good manners and respected the old. She would not fight with this old woman.
“Madam, it was an accident that Clara lost her baby.”
Hearing this, the crowd became even more furious, and the woman was bent out of shape.
“You admitted that!” As soon as the woman said that, she turned to the crowd and said, “Look, everything reported on the news is true. She admitted it!”
Serina didn’t know what to say. “I didn’t admit anything! And what Clara said on the news was not true!”
“You admitted that Clara is your sister and you caused her miscarriage, then everything is true!” The woman was aggressive.
“I don’t want to explain to you. Let go of me!”
Serina said and pushed the woman’s hand, hoping that she could let go of her. More and more people started gathering, she really wanted to leave.
“You pushed my hand! Don’t you know manners?” The woman pointed to Serina. Her finger was about to touch Serina’s nose!
“If I didn’t have manners, I would have already hit you!” Serina couldn’t resist anymore.
The woman heard this, she became even more furious, “Everyone, listen! She is so arrogant, and she even wants to hit me! It’s clear that Clara has been bullied by her at home!”
“Who bullied whom?” Serina was speechless.
Why did these people speak for Clara? What was their relationship?
“How can you be so arrogant after doing all the bad things? You should be kept in jail for a few days!”
“That’s right. How could there be such a cruel person.”
“She also has a sugar daddy. Shame on her.”
…
Everyone thought they were speaking for justice.
Serina finally realized that no matter how she explained, these people would not believe her.
Clara was an actress. Although she was not famous, she was still a public figure. In addition, she had been popular for a while because of her marriage to Sammy. To the public and the media, her words were much convincing!
That was the advantage of being a public figure!
Serina stood in the middle of the crowd, being accused and targeted.
“Enough!” Serina roared.
Then, she wanted to push two people away and rushed out of the crowd.
“Look at her, she wants to hit someone in public! Today, I will teach her a lesson on behalf of her parents!” the middle-aged woman shouted.
As she spoke, the woman yanked Serina’s hair.
Serina cried out in pain and was dragged back. The woman then pinched her arm hard.
The woman pinched her so hard that Serina screamed again. Even if Serina made mistakes when she was a kid, her mother never pinched her like that.
Seeing one person took action, other onlookers were all started to push and kick Serina, taking her as a target to vent their anger.
Frankly speaking, this was someone else’s business, it had nothing to do with them.
However, people were under too much pressure nowadays. They need a place to vent their anger and to release the pressure.
Serina’s hair was messy.
Her clothes were torn.
There were several scratches on her arms.
And her legs were covered in bruises.
Serina wanted to struggle, but as soon as she struggled, the crowd became more excited, and they would hit her harder!
After a while, a person at the bus stop ate a banana and threw the banana peel on Serina!
Then, another person splashed water on Serina and threw the bottle at her, as well as yogurt, and all kinds of garbage bags.
Serina was shoved, surrounded by so many people, she couldn’t handle it at all.
She took out her phone and was about to call the police. However, she was pushed by someone and her phone fell to the ground. She heard a clicking sound. Someone stepped on her phone!
“Are you all crazy?” Serina roared, but no one paid attention to her. They just kept venting their emotions.
In the office of the Saint Group.
Derek kept checking the time. It had been over an hour.
It was only half an hour from the Grand Apartment to here.
Derek couldn’t wait any longer. He picked up the phone and called Hayden.
“Hello, Mr. Derek.”
“Is Serina here yet?”
“Ms. Serina is not here yet. I have been waiting at the door and I haven’t seen her yet.”
“Call her and ask her where she is!”
“Yes!”
Derek rubbed his temples. He had a strong feeling that something went wrong.
Soon, Hayden called back, “Mr. Derek, I can’t reach Ms. Serina’s phone!”
