Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 38 - Framing the Guilt

“Hello everyone.”

There were only a dozen or so people in the entire department, but not a single one of them took the initiative to greet Serena Summers.

They all stared at Serena Summers with complex gazes.

Serena Summers lowered her eyes and smiled indifferently.

“Madam, does the CEO know that you’ve been bullying Shaw Group’s employees?”

A woman about the same age as Luna White spun her chair around, crossed her legs facing Serena Summers.

She lifted her chin, poised as if she was ready to back Luna White up.

Serena Summers looked at Luna White, to see her provocatively curling her lips at her, then lowering her gaze to resume the pitiful appearance of someone wronged.

The corners of Serena Summers’ rosy lips curled up slightly, her almond eyes filled with coldness.

She placed her hands on the desk in front of her, her almond eyes coldly gazing at the few people before her, and with slightly parted red lips, she said, “Then what do you think… does your CEO know that you’re bullying his wife right now?”

Facing the shocked looks of the crowd, Serena Summers scoffed coldly, shedding her previous innocence and naivety, donning an icy demeanor to the extreme.

Those clear almond eyes were filled with bone-chilling coldness.

The people were stunned, and then thinking of Lucas Shaw’s icy handsome face, a shiver ran through their hearts.

The man in casual clothes scoffed coldly, “Threatening whom?

If the CEO knew you were such a spiteful person, how could he possibly keep you by his side?

You bullied Luna White, you should apologize!”

Others chimed in one after another, “Yeah, apologize!

Even if you’re the CEO’s wife, you can’t bully us regular employees!”

“That’s right, how could the CEO fancy someone like her?”

“It’s not the CEO’s fault; I was almost deceived by her appearance before.

She looks pretty, but who would have thought she’s actually such a spiteful person behind everyone’s back!”

Voices rose in chorus, each person angrily accusing Serena Summers.

Serena Summers quietly scanned the room and finally set her gaze on Luna White.

She took a step forward, approaching slowly.

Her pale fingertips gently touched Luna White.

Her head, her neck, her back…

In the end, she leaned over and whispered into Luna White’s ear with an exceedingly tender voice, “If I really wanted to bully you, do you think you’d still be sitting here so comfortably?

You seem to want to be bullied so badly, let me fulfill your wish.”

Luna White felt as though an ice-cold touch had just been brushed by a soft, boneless snake.

Her body stiffened, a hint of fear flickering in her eyes, “What, what do you want to do?”

“I want to bully you.

If I don’t make this accusation a reality, how could I live up to the effort you’ve put into acting?”

Serena Summers’ lips curled up slightly with an innocent smile, “Starting now, every three minutes, you’ll feel intense pain in your body.

First the top of your head, then your neck, and lastly…

your entire body.”

Luna White’s spine stiffened, feeling a cold breeze by her ear, permeated with an inexplicable chill.

It wasn’t until Serena Summers spoke her last few words that Luna White’s body trembled violently, nearly crying out in public.

She shook her head, her voice trembling, “No, it won’t happen!

You’re trying to scare me, aren’t you?

What exactly do you want to do?”

Serena Summers blinked with innocent, clear eyes, her smile blossoming like flowers, “All I want is for you to tell the truth yourself.

Whether I’ve bullied you or not, you know it in your heart, don’t you?”

She glanced at her wristwatch, murmuring, “Two minutes left.

You can take your time to think, I can wait.”

The man sitting beside Luna White saw a layer of cold sweat break out on her forehead and immediately became furious.

He stood up, shouting at Serena Summers, “What the hell did you do to Luna White?

How can you be so vicious?”

Serena Summers took out a bag of potato chips from her bag, eating them nonchalantly as if she hadn’t heard the man’s words at all.

This reaction completely enraged the man.

He got up, walked to Serena Summers, and subconsciously tried to grab her shoulders.

The moment he was about to touch Serena Summers, a flash of silver crossed his eyes.

The next second, something pierced his palm, causing him pain that twisted his face for an instant.

He opened his mouth, only to find he could no longer speak.

Serena Summers leaned back in her chair, leisurely munching on her potato chips.

“You’re too noisy.”

She glanced over the stunned people around her, her eyes slightly squinting, “Are you all too idle?

Do you need me to assign you some work?”

Everyone present had witnessed the entire process of the man suddenly becoming unable to speak.

Hearing Serena Summers’ words, they felt a sense of fear in their hearts.

They quickly scattered like birds and beasts, returning to their own workstations to work obediently.

Two minutes later, a cry of shock came from behind.

They turned their heads to look and saw Luna White holding her head, writhing in excruciating pain.

Her face, meticulously made up, was now contorting.

Luna White felt like her head was about to explode.

Her brain seemed to be gnawed by thousands of ants, the pain was indescribable, leaving her only with shrieks and agonized moans.

Moments later, Luna White suddenly recalled Serena Summers’ words.

Tears streamed down her face, and she immediately felt some regret.

She hadn’t expected Serena Summers to be not as simple as she appeared on the surface.

She was like a devil.

What on earth had Serena Summers done?

Just casually pressing a few places on her body, how could it cause her such unbearable pain?

The man beside her noticed Luna White’s abnormality and quickly approached.

He opened his mouth, only to realize that he still couldn’t speak.

He glared furiously at Serena Summers, who was leisurely unwrapping a candy, his expression ferocious.

It must be this woman’s doing!

He advanced angrily, then suddenly thinking of something, retracted his extended hand.

At this moment, Luna White cried out in pain.

Her voice was melodious yet aggrieved, making one unable to help but feel heartbroken.

Luna White was quite well-liked in the department, and many people could not bear to look away.

Since witnessing the process of the man becoming mute as soon as he came near Serena Summers, everyone had developed a fear of Serena Summers.

Seeing that no one was willing to help her, Luna White cried even louder.

Finally, unable to endure anymore, she rushed in front of Serena Summers, pleading desperately, “Madam, I–I was wrong.”

“I haven’t been bullied by you; it was all nonsense I spouted.

Please, let me go!”

Listening to Luna White’s entreaty, Serena Summers remained indifferent.

Now, Luna White’s appearance did indeed seem like she had been severely bullied.
