But at that moment, Quinn Fender walked over. She looked at Serenity with disdain and said, “Xyla,
why are you talking to her? She’s an ex-convict! She killed someone!”
“Quinn, why do you have to say that? We’re all co-workers. Besides, she only went to jail because she
got careless when she drove…
Before Xyla could finish speaking, Quinn already interrupted her, “But the person she killed was Mira
Hall! Xyla, do you know who Mira Hall is? She’s Jenny Hall’s sister! No wonder Jenny Hall asked us to
look for a ring that doesn’t exist. She was targeting Serenity all along and we just got dragged into it.”
“But didn’t we all get an apology gift as compensation?” said Xyla.
Quinn was obviously unhappy to see Xyla speak up for Serenity. She was the one who broke the news
that Serenity had been in prison before.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe overheard the conversation between Serenity, Zeke Shaw and Jenny Hall by accident, so she
spent some time looking up various news articles about Zeke Shaw and Jenny Hall on the Internet.
That was how she discovered that the person who ran over and killed Mira Hall years ago was actually
Serenity.
“Xyla, did Serenity bribe you? Is that why you’re speaking up for her?” Quinn asked sarcastically.
“You…!” Xyla was indignant.
“All right, that’s enough. It was an accident. It’s not like Serenity did it on purpose,” a male voice
suddenly interjected.
Serenity looked up and saw that the man who spoke up for her was Peter Wall.
But that only made Quinn angrier. The main reason she disliked Serenity was because she liked Peter,
but Peter liked Serenity.
“Do
you think she’ll like you just because you spoke up for her, Peter? Her ex-boyfriend was Zeke Shaw!
The young master of the Shaw Group!”
Peter Wall’s face turned red.
Quinn continued to mock Serenity. “But Zeke Shaw probably wants to puke when he sees Serenity now
since she’s a sanitation worker. Tsk tsk, I wonder if Zeke Shaw throws up when he thinks of how
intimate they used to be.”
Serenity looked at Quinn coldly. “Are you done?”
“What? Are you going to deny that you were in jail or that you’re Zeke Shaw’s ex-girlfriend?” asked
Quinn condescendingly. “You’re an ex-convict! Stop acting innocent!”
“I am an ex-convict. So what? As for whose ex-girlfriend I am, it’s none of your business. Besides, who
says I can’t date someone just because I’m a sanitation worker? Are you saying that being a sanitation
worker will only make people puke?”
Serenity attacked her with question after question. “Quinn, you’re an office worker, but that doesn’t
mean you can look down on my career!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmQuinn could find no retort.
There were many sanitation workers in the vicinity, and they were all staring at her! Usually, office
workers like her tend to have a sense of superiority, but it was not something that could be spoken out
loud, especially with so many sanitation workers around.

“Serenity, you… This ain’t over!” Quinn glared at Serenity hatefully and walked away.
Serenity exhaled and was about to walk away too when Peter said, “Serenity… I… I don’t think you’re
the kind of person Quinn said you are.”
She stopped, but she did not reply. She walked away.
She was grateful that Peter Wall was willing to speak up for her, but now that he knew she was an ex-
convict, surely he would give up on his pursuit of her.
