Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 60

Chapter 60: Chapter 60

When Carl heard this, he was over the moon, "Mr. McMillian, thank you so much! I’ll bust my hump to finish everything, especially things concerning Ms. Rose. I won’t let you. down!"

"All right."

"I’ll be on my way then."

Carl couldn’t believe that just buttering up Ms. Rose was more effective than having a girlfriend! His wage has been stuck in a rut for three years. Just because he praised Ms. Rose’s looks, he got a pay

raise that doubled his salary!

Just as Carl was on cloud nine, he heard Romeo’s voice.

"Hold on." Romeo seemed to have thought of something, "Those few corporations we acquired recently..."

"Mr. McMillian, are you referring to those luxury brand corporations? Don’t worry! They’ve been incorporated into our McMillian Corporation!"

"They newly released Love Forever Series. Do you think she would like that?"

Upon hearing this, Carl realized why Mr. McMillian had stopped him..

He quickly replied, "Mr. McMillian, you’re such a jokester! With Ms. Rose’s good looks, she would still look stunning even in a potato sack!" "Oh?" Romeo raised an eyebrow at him.

"As long as it’s from you, Ms. Rose would definitely love it! After all, what you’re giving her isn’t just a gift but also your genuine feelings. Ms. Rose would definitely be touched when she receives it!"

"Take this weekend off. No need to work overtime."

Carl was overjoyed, "Thank you, Mr. McMillian!"

The Collins family’s house.

Kenneth and Louisa went for a stroll in the garden, hand in hand. Martha quickly called Serena over and whispered, "Miss Serena, you went out of your way to queue up and buy things for the Master and

Madam. That must’ve been tough!"

Before Serena could respond, Martha quickly added, "Trying to win over the Master and Madam alone won’t do you any good. The most important one is Mr. McMillian..." At the mention of Romeo, Serena’s face immediately soured.

"I think Romeo only has eyes for my sister... You saw it too last time in the garden. He was pretty cold towards me. I wonder if it’s because the soup I made upset Grandpa Phillip’s condition, and he now has a bad impression of me. Even Grandpa Phillip has been giving me the cold shoulder...

"Well, you have to do something to turn the tables."

"I know."

"So, what do you think I should do?"

Serena’s string of failures had worn down her grace. She felt like she couldn’t take it anymore. After all, she had been leading a comfortable life for the past few years and never had to swallow her pride like

this before. Since Rosemary returned, her humiliation was more than she had experienced in the past ten or more years!

"Miss Serena, listen to me..." Martha looked around and then whispered something into her ear.

Serena hesitated, "Will this...will this work? What if....."

"No ’what ifs!" Martha looked at her confidently, "Even if Mr. McMillian rejects you at first, as long as you show your sincerity, he won’t pay attention to Ms. Rose anymore!"

Serena’s hesitation lessened, and she seemed more resolved than before. Just then, she heard a noise from the corner and was startled, "Who’s there?"

"Miss Serena, it’s me." The person who came out from the corner was Erik.

Serena and Martha looked at each other, unsure how much Erik had overheard their conversation.

Both felt somewhat uneasy.

"Miss Serena, you don’t have to worry. I support you." Erik said politely, "If I frightened you just now, I apologize."

Hearing Erik say this, Serena was skeptical, "My sister is my parents’ biological daughter. Why don’t you support her but support me instead?"

Hearing him say that, Serena looked at Martha as if to confirm the credibility of his words.

Martha nodded, confirming that he was trustworthy.

"Of course." Erik looked at her, his eyes shimmering with friendliness, "Whether at home or outside, let me know anytime if you need any help, Miss Serena."

"I do need your help with something. "Serena gestured for him to come closer and whispered something.

Not long after, Erik came to report, "Miss Serena, Mr. McMillian will be having lunch at the Ferris Wheel Restaurant."

Upon hearing this, Serena couldn’t help but feel excited, "Is the news reliable?"

"Absolutely"

Serena didn’t expect the first task she assigned him to be completed so quickly and well!

She took out a bank card, "If you perform well in the future, I will deposit some money into this card."

"I don’t need Miss Serena’s money." Erik quickly expressed his loyalty, "It’s an immense honor to serve you, Miss Serena."

"Take it" Serena insisted on rewarding him, "Once I marry Mr. McMillian, you and Martha can join me in the McMillian family and enjoy the good life."

"Thank you, Miss Serena!" Erik took the bank card, overjoyed.

When Kenneth and Louisa returned from their walk in the garden, they saw Serena looking so stunning, like a blooming white rose. They couldn’t help but ask, "Serena, where are you going, all dressed up like this?"

"A good friend is getting married. I’m attending her celebration."

Serena was wearing a gorgeous gown, her hair was up, and the jewelry on her body shimmered.

She had grown up being pampered, exuding an elegance nurtured by money and skincare products.

Seeing Serena’s delicate makeup, Louisa couldn’t help but comment, "Serena, you look so beautiful."

"Our darling, always the apple of our eye, how could she not be beautiful!" Kenneth chirped, "Let Aiden drive you there."

"No need. Erik is driving me today." Serena smiled, "This way, my friend will feel honored!"

"Okay, Erik, drive Serena there."

The Ferris Wheel Restaurant, as the name suggests, was a dining experience in a glass cabin.

The Ferris wheel had 28 cabins, each measuring 25 square meters. When the Ferris wheel reached its highest point, it was 128 meters from the ground, offering a view of half the city’s beauty and the

sparkling sea...

Since it was built, it had been a popular spot for influencers and streamers.

As the seats were limited, reservations were booked up to six months in advance!

It was extremely popular.

Before Serena exited the car, she looked up at the giant Ferris wheel and asked with some puzzlement, "Erik, why is there no one up there?"

At noon, how could no one be dining at this popular restaurant?

Where is Romeo?

Hasn’t he arrived yet?

"Strange, why isn’t the Ferris wheel moving? Is it broken?"

"Miss Serena, you may not know, but for ordinary people to dine here, they first need to have enough patience to wait, and secondly, they need to have enough money to afford it... because a set meal

costs $999, and this is just the minimum charge..."

$999, to Serena, is just pocket change, but for ordinary people, it’s equivalent to one or two months’ salary.

After a while, a luxury limousine came into Serena’s view, and her eyes immediately lit up. It was Romeo!

She would never mistake that license plate!

"It’s Mr. McMillian!" Erik recognized it too, "It’s Mr. McMillian’s car! Miss Serena, do you see? Mr. McMillian is here."

The limousine drove past them and stopped at the distant entrance.

Carl got out, very professionally opening the rear door.

Before Serena could smile, she saw a girl leave the limousine. That pretty face, who else could it be but Rosemary?

Why was she in Romeo’s car?

Could it be that she came with Romeo?

Before Serena could figure it out, Romeo exited the car, took Rosemary’s hand, and entered the Ferris Wheel Restaurant through the VIP entrance together.

Erik was also taken aback. Why would Mr. McMillian come here with Ms. Rose?

He hadn’t heard any news about this before....

Looking at Serena’s expression in the rear–view mirror, it didn’t seem too good.

What should he do?

Serena finally realized why the Ferris wheel wasn’t moving and why no one was inside. It was because Romeo had booked the entire place! He wanted to have a private meal with Rosemary and didn’t want to be disturbed by others!

"Miss Serena, I think... you could also go in and dine with them. After all, Ms. Rose is your relative."

Erik plucked up the courage and voiced his thoughts, "If you go in, you can prevent their relationship from progressing..."

Right, he has a point.

Serena thought she couldn’t let them be alone together in case they developed feelings...

She got out of the car, and her stunning outfit immediately caught Rosemary’s attention in the glass cabin, and a few question marks popped up in Rosemary’s mind.

Was Serena going to a wedding with that outfit?

Her jewelry was so dazzling under the sunlight that it was hard to look directly at.

From head to toe, one word could describe her: extravagant.

Serena arrived at the entrance and was politely stopped by the greeter.

Erik quickly stepped forward, cleared his throat, "This lady is the heiress of the Collins family!"

With the Collins family’s status back home, stepping foot in this restaurant is practically like giving them free publicity.

But the greeter says apologetically, "I’m sorry, Serena, but the place is booked solid today. Sorry about that. We’re looking forward to your next visit."

"To be honest, the girl inside, she’s my cousin. And that guy, I know him too."

After Serena said this, she removed her diamond ring and pushed it into the greeter’s hand. She smiled and said, "I need to talk to them. Don’t worry; I’ll take the heat if they have any complaints."

The greeter didn’t dare to take her stuff. After all, with Mr. McMillian’s status, if he had let someone in behind the scenes and messed up Mr. McMillian’s business...

The greeter quickly returned the ring and said, "I’m sorry, Serena, please don’t put us in a tough spot."

She quickly closed the door, scared that Serena might barge in.

"What an insensitive person!" Erik is angry and about to use Kenneth’s status to intimidate the greeter.

But Serena’s eyes seemed a bit dim as she said, "Forget it. They won’t dare to offend Romeo. Let’s go..."

"Just like that, we’re just going to leave?"

"What else can we do? Stick around to watch their lovey–dovey show?" Serena gave Erik a look, her tone sounding a bit reproachful, "Get the facts straight next time!"
