Everyone knew the current Dark Empire.
It was a famous game company that ranked top on the major game lists. Whether it’s mobile apps, large online games, or some single-player games, all of them were all loved by game lovers.
There were very few companies that could be as successful as the Dark Empire!
It was said that as soon as the company of the Dark Empire was listed, Derek Maynard’s value immediately increased to tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions.
Kylie handed the microphone to Derek and said, “Mr. Darion, you are the first person to clear this game. Aren’t you afraid that others will say you cheated? After all, this game is made by your company.”
“There’s nothing to worry about because this game was made by me while I didn’t use any means to pass it. It was me who passed it one by one.” Derek smiled slightly.
Serina stared at Derek without blinking.
‘Isn’t Ernest the one who passes the game? Why is Derek now?’
She was already a little confused.
“Mr. Darion, I really didn’t understand why you used this kind of publicity method at the beginning,” Kylie asked.
“To get the kiss of Serina, the woman I love deeply.”
The audience burst into an uproar.
“Since she is the woman you love deeply, why do you have to use her kiss as a bet?” Kylie was also quite shocked.
“Because I know that no one will pass the game except me,” Derek said confidently.
He was sure about it.
Arrogant people always made people uncomfortable, but if there was such a matched ability, it made people convinced.
“Is there anything you want to tell Ms. Serina today?”
“Of course, but I’m here to receive the prize today.”
The prize was Serina’s kiss.
This was well known.
“Alright, then let’s witness this romantic moment together!” Kylie shouted.
Derek walked over to the festooned vehicle, and Serina stood up.
At that moment, Serina admitted that her heart was beating extremely fast.
Derek was still as handsome as before, and she seemed to be infatuated with him as much as she did back then.
However, Serina suddenly felt heavy-hearted somehow.
Her hardships in the past four years and the appearance of Derek and Zoe together constantly emerge in her mind.
Derek Maynard stood in front of the festooned vehicle and smiled at Serina.
And Serina walked out of the festooned vehicle.
The two of them stood facing each other and locked eyes.
There were too many things in their eyes to be expressed in words.
Everyone was waiting for this kiss.
Serina closed her eyes silently for a moment.
Just as Derek Maynard was about to speak, Serina suddenly raised her hand and slapped him!
This caused an upheaval in the entire audience!
A perfect silence prevailed.
Serina picked up her skirt and hurried down backstage!
Originally it seemed like a romantic love story, but it turned out like this!
The host Kylie also did not know how to end it.
Serina fled in a panic, tears gushing from her eyes.
No matter what, she wouldn’t accept such a bet he had done!
He was Zoe’s boyfriend already. Why did he still use such a method to tease her?
Serina had no idea.
She took off her high heels and ran out of the hotel quickly. She stopped a taxi by the street and immediately returned to Polaris City.
She burst into tears in the taxi.
Back in Polaris City, Serina wiped her tears and returned home.
As soon as she entered the door, Chelsea and Bella came over and asked, “Mommy, can we eat cakes?”
“Yes.” Serina put on her slippers. “I’ll change my clothes first.”
Serina went to the bedroom. She had to be stronger for her children. At the very least, she had to finish today’s birthday.
The hotel was turned upside down.
This incident was also unexpected to everyone.
Derek Maynard stood in a certain room of the hotel. What happened just now was still fresh in his mind, with Serina’s fingerprints on his face.
Was she blaming him for not showing for so many years?
Derek Maynard pulled his thoughts back because of the knock by Hayden. “Come in.”
“Mr. Darion, the audience in the venue has been evacuated. Next…”
Hayden also felt that the incident was awkward. Being slapped by Serina, Derek was embarrassed and humiliated in public.
“All of you can leave now. Tell the reporters not to reveal the incident today but report with a perfect ending.”
“Yes, Mr. Darion… Actually, I think Ms. Serina probably couldn’t react for a while. Maybe she just couldn’t figure it out for a while. Besides, both of you haven’t seen each other for so long, and she is shunned by you.”
Hayden said carefully, “So, it’s better to explain it to Ms. Serina.”
“You may leave.”
Derek turned around.
Hayden sighed. Derek Maynard didn’t like people discussing his matters. It was only Hayden who had worked for him for so many years that he was able to say a few words. However, he had to be very careful.
Derek took out the ring from his pocket. Actually, he was prepared to propose to her today.
They had registered their marriage since they first met, and there was no ceremony, no proposal, and no wedding ceremony.
He wanted to make up for what he owed her in the past!
Thinking of this, Derek stuffed the ring into his pocket and went out of the room.
Serina and her two kids only ate a little part of the castle cake.
Serina also prepared longevity noodles, as well as the dishes that the children loved, resulting in the cake being left more.
After blowing the candles, making a wish, eating cake and longevity noodles, Chelsea and Bella, and then played in the living room while Serina cleaned up the dishes.
“Chelsea, do you think Mommy seems unhappy?” Bella asked Chelsea with a frown.
“It seems a little bit. Maybe because Mr. Ernest was absent from Mommy’s birthday this year, right?” Chelsea held her chin and said.
“He will come every year, but I don’t know why this year is an exception. Do they quarrel?”
“I don’t know, either.”
The two little guys were in discussion when the doorbell rang.
Serina was washing the dishes in the kitchen. “Bella, go see who is here and if it is a stranger, don’t open the door!”
“Alright!” Bella and Chelsea ran down from the sofa to the door.
The door made a short peephole for the two little girls alone because they would occasionally be alone at home. Serina repeatedly urged that they could only open the door when seeing acquaintances.
“Why is this person here?” Bella asked while looking through the peephole.
“Who is there?”
“The last time Mommy took us to watch a movie, a bad woman pushed you down. And the person outside is the bad woman’s boyfriend.” Bella said.
“Let me have a look.” Chelsea looked from the peephole.
“It is! What is he doing here?”
