Sera watched as Edward and Zhang Ying left the room. "Are you going to stay here?" Nick Zhang decided to break the silence between them.

"Yes."

​​

"Why? Your lawyer said…"

"I am selling my shares…" Sera interrupted him. Sure enough, Nick Zhang's face contorted into an ugly smile.

"Stop trying to bait me. Do you think I am that easy to fool?"

"After selling my shares. I am going to leave this place… and never come back."

"You— "

"That is the reason why grandfather didn't give me anything in this region."

Nick squinted at her. "Who would you — "

"Not telling you. However, changes in the company are going to happen soon. Resisting is nothing but a waste of your energy."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Nothing much," Sera smiled. "I just thought it's fun."

Nick's face darkened. Fun? What is fun? Seeing him react to her words? Or seeing him struggle to find out of her words were true or not? He snorted. "It seems that I underestimated your tendency to cause chaos everywhere."

"I agree."

"That wasn't a compliment."

"It was to me."

Seeing that he couldn't win when it comes to petty words, Nick said. "You can leave now. You are not welcome in this place anymore."

Of course, Sera didn't move. "Tomorrow… the board meeting will happen."

"I know that."

"I'm just saying… you have until tonight to prepare yourself. By tomorrow, you will know that I am not bluffing in any way. I don't want you to faint when the time comes." With that, Sera stood and grabbed her handbag. "I will see you tomorrow… uncle."

Sera was supposed to go back home, but just after she walked out of the mansion, she received a call. It was from Mr. Tan.

"Uncle! How come you are calling me in the middle of the day?" Sera asked.

"What uncle?"

"Oh… I miss you too, uncle. Is something the matter?"

"You — Are you outside?"

Sera eyed the maid that was following her under the pretense of sending her back to her car. "Uncle is jesting, of course I am outside. I am currently working."

"Then come and see me… I will send you an address. It's a restaurant downtown."

"Hm? Why did something happen?"

"That uncle of yours called me just now. He wanted me to sell my shares to him."

"Ah? That — " Seeing that the maid was still standing not far away from her, Sera waved at the woman and beamed. "I told you about this before. You should take care of yourself well. You are getting older and fatter every day. How could you say that you are going to see me when I come back when you don't take care of yourself? Tsk… uncle… I don't want to see you in a coffin before you pay me, ah."

"You — are you cursing me?"

"Alright… I will see you soon, Uncle. Don't forget your debt! Don't you dare die from your hypertension or I will burn your body to the ground… hahaha…" Sera didn't let the fuming old man answer. She ended the call and look at her phone. Sure enough, there was an address on her phone.

"Thank you for sending me back." Sera smiled at the maid and got into the car.

"Miss? Are we going home now?" Dalgo asked.

"No. I need to shop."

"Alright then… to the nearest mall?"

After a few seconds, Sera glanced at the GPS on her phone and gave Dalgo the address of a mall near the restaurant where she was scheduled to see the old man. From the maps, they are only about twenty minutes away from the mall. However, the schedule was still an hour away. Meaning she still had some time to shop for newer clothes.

Of course, she was just using this as another reason to get rid of the people following her. "Ah… also… I need you to create a diversion for me."

"Diversion?"

"I have to go meet someone."

"But miss… the boss said…"

Sera let out a loud sigh. This is the problem. Dalgo's boss is actually not Sera. It was Chris.

Obviously, the man would listen to Chris' words. She needed to have a good conversation with that man once she got back later. For now, she needed to convince Dalgo to let her go. "I have a very important meeting, but people are following me around. This is a secret meeting so… I trust that you could do just this one thing for me."

"But Miss, your safety is — "

"If you keep on doing that… I will have to fire you, Dalgo." Her voice was firm, steady, and confident. She met his eyes in the rearview mirror. She frowned. "I need someone that will listen to me."

"I'm sorry Miss. I will follow your orders."

At least he is smart? Sera sighed inwardly. If Dalgo will not cooperate, then it would be very problematic. Of course, she also has the option not to see that old man. However, she had some guesses about today's meeting. The old man isn't just someone that would meet just anyone to tell them that their uncle called him.

No.

The old man wanted to meet her because of another matter.

And she was really excited to find out about it.

Was it possible that the old man was able to find out something about the Fu Family? Just the thought of Madam Fu made her smile. Madam Fu can become a big problem in the future. That's why she is willing to sacrifice a few years of her life just to deal with that woman now.

Ah, the stress…

She could already imagine the wrinkles that she will have just from dealing with Mrs. Fu.

Not long after, they arrive inside one of the prominent malls in the downtown area. She immediately instructed Dalgo to park in the basement parking and come with her inside the mall.

After visiting a lot of boutiques, Sera was finally able to change her clothes. This time, from her flowy dress earlier, she changed into a black suit. Then she tied her hair into a neat bun and added some eyeglasses and red lipstick that made her look like a sexy librarian from some movie.

The type of actor that would act as the first victim of some sociopath.
