“Hans, how could you possibly think that? Martha has been taking care of me diligently for eighteen
years. She has done a lot of hard work."
Serena explained sincerely, “I know it's wrong of me to bad-mouth Arabella to friends, but this really
has nothing to do with Martha. Hans, no matter what happens in the future, if you're upset, vent it on
me. Don't involve Martha."
“You seem to have a deep bond with her" Hans looked into the girl's eyes, his expression somewhat
complex.
"When dad was busy with the company, mom was often accompanying him. It was Martha who stayed
by my side. No matter if I had a fever, fell ill or whatever, during every bleak and peak moment of my
life in the past eighteen years, it was Martha who was with me."
“So, is she better than family?"
“She's as good as family. Hans, don't think so poorly of her. She has been genuinely good to me.”
Serena said, sounding a bit distressful, "You’ve deducted her pay and year-end bonus after a month of
her hard work. Hans, please, don't do this again."
At this moment, Julian knocked on the door, “Mr. Collins, the person in charge of the jewelry company,
Mr.
Ferber is here."
“Let him in."
"Yes."
Julian ushered Bruno Ferber in. Seeing Serena's poor state, he couldn't help but jest, "What brings you
here, Serena? What happened to you?"
“I fell accidentally. Did you come to laugh at me, Mr. Ferber?" Serena retorted jokingly.
“Hahaha. My future boss, I wouldn't dare laugh at you. I'd be afraid you'd fire me." Mr. Ferber laughed
heartily.
Serena was a bit confused and immediately turned to Hans. What did he mean? His future boss? She
didn't understand.
Seeing her reaction, Mr. Ferber chuckled and turned to Hans, "Mr. Collins, haven't you told Serena yet
that she's going to be managing the jewelry company?"
Upon Serena heard this, her eyes widened in surprise. Managing the jewelry company? Hans wanted
her to manage it? Really??
She used to be envious that Arabella could inherit her family's clothing company, but she didn't expect
that she would also have a share, and the value of the jewelry company was much more than that of
the clothing company.
Hans still cared about her.
“Seems like Serena genuinely didn't know." Mr. Ferber guffawed, "Mr. Collins has already paved the
way for you, cleared the obstacles, and is just waiting for you to graduate so that I and..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Hans interrupted calmly, “That was the previous plan."
The moment Mr. Ferber heard this, he froze. What did he mean by that??
Serena was also puzzled. Had Hans decided not to let her manage it?
“The future is unpredictable. The plan is now canceled.” Hans's expression was calm as he looked at
Bruno, “I asked you here today to tell you this. You and the others can stop any activities for it."
Hans had initially asked him and several other senior executives, planning to support Serena to taking
over the position. The plan was all set; obstacles were cleared one by one.
But Serena had disappointed him this time.
Mr. Ferber was confused. Looking at Hans, it didn't seem like he was joking. Then he looked at Serena;
her expression seemed very disappointed.
Mr. Ferber couldn't help saying, "Mr. Collins, this plan is already halfway through."
Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to cancel it now??
“Serena is still young. Let's talk about it later in the future."
Seeing that Hans had made a decision, Mr. Ferber didn't dare to utter anything more.
"Serena, Mr. Ferber and I have other things to discuss. Why don't you go home and rest?"
“Okay.” Serena didn't know how she managed to stand up and leave Hans's office.
