PopularNovelChapter 180 Alicia took her new car for a test drive and, using it as an excuse, brought Serena back to her shared apartment. Even by car, the trip took 40 minutes.
Serena stepped out and took in the sight of the cramped, dark buildings, packed so tightly they blocked out the sky.
Following Alicia through a maze of twists and turns, she entered the apartment. It was a tiny, subdivided unit split into six rooms.
Alicia's personal space was a mere 15-square-feet single room.
Just then, a male roommate from the next unit walked past them toward the kitchen. Upon seeing them, he suddenly let out a low whistle, his gaze full of sleazy intent.

"No way. You're moving!" She grabbed Alicia's wrist.
Within ten minutes, Serena had arranged for a moving company and secured a one-bedroom apartment near Amber Group.
Alicia could hardly protest.
Dragging Alicia straight to her new home, Serena watched as the young woman took in the south-facing unit with its spacious layout and floor-to-ceiling windows.
"T-This... Are you sure I can..." "Think of it as a favor between friends of Wynne-and for your own safety. Just take it." Serena handed her the keys and, before Alicia could argue, swiftly made her exit.
Back in her car, her gaze landed on the document folder in the backseat- evidence of Bryan Lloyd embezzling six million dollars from Amber Group. Bryan Lloyd-that was Rachel's brother's name.
Serena stepped on the gas and headed straight for the Jansen residence.
On the way, Alicia sent a long, heartfelt thank-you message.
Serena listened to the voice message, then called her back. "Just settle in. Also, let's go over snecessary restructuring for Amber Group." By the tthe conversation ended, she had arrived.
The moment she stepped into the Jansen residence, a maid greeted her respectfully, "Ms. Serena, Mr. Jansen and Ms. Sarah haven't returned yet. Only Mrs. Jansen is home." "Perfect. I haven't had her cooking in ages." Serena smiled and headed straight for the dining room, placing the document folder beside her.
Hearing the maid's words, Rachel's expression instantly darkened. "That bitch Serena is treatinglike a cook now?" Furious, she stormed downstairs.

"So, your brother, Bryan Lloyd, works as an accountant at Amber Group? I was thinking we could go over his accounts during dinner. Or, we could always wait until Dad is htomorrow or the day after." At that, Rachel's vicious glare suddenly turned into pure shock. How did she find out? Shania had already been arrested. Hadn't they destroyed all the evidence? Rachel's heart sank. Seeing that Serena was clearly expecting her to cook, she took a deep breath. She had no other choice but to endure.
Dismissing the maids, she gritted her teeth and personally prepared a full table of dishes. Her arms ached from the effort, yet she still forced a smile. "Serena, these are all your favorites." Serena didn't even look at the food. "The food doesn't matter. The accounts do." She leaned back, relaxed. "No one else is home. We can speak freely.
"I have a few investment projects in mind, but I happen to be short of six million dollars, So tellwill you pay up, or will your brother? Or perhaps, we could let the courts decide?" At her final words, Rachel's fake smile vanished. Her face darkened.
She was speechless. She couldn't cover the six million dollars.
Serena seemed to sense her dilemma.
Instead of getting angry, she just smiled. "If you don't choose any of lix Bad will be the three options, I'm sure ree willing to pay the six million dollars for your dear brother since he loves you so much."
