Chapter 48 “The higher-ups have given the order. Anything involving Serenity Lewis can’t be published,” said the editor -in-chief. Sam was astonished. “Is it because of pressure from the Shaw family? No, that didn’t make sense. When Jenny had that incident at the Sanitation Office, he wrote a report about Jenny and there was no […]

Chapter 47 Serenity grinned as if she found that amusing. She simply walked away. Zeke felt like his kindness was wasted on her. A surge of anger rose inside him, “What’s the meaning of that, Serenity? I’m taking a great risk trying to help you here!” “No one asked you to take that risk, Serenity

Chapter 46 Even though her face remained the same, it felt more weathered. She was also wearing a fluorescent work uniform instead of branded clothes. Zeke stared at her in a daze. The scene of her desperately crawling to him and begging him to believe her once again surfaced in his mind. At that time,

Chapter 45 Jenny Hall apologized with a sincere expression. When she bowed, she almost fell because she was so weak, and that won her a lot of sympathy. After a short pause, she continued, “I will go to the Sanitation Office to express my sincere gratitude to the sanitation workers for their help. I will

Chapter 44 “Jenny Hall thinks I killed her sister, Serenity said after a short silence. However, she had never known that a person could be so evil before she saw Jenny Hall order her nails to be plucked out of her fingers! “She’s probably happier that she gets to take your place,” Lisa was still

Chapter 43 She also could not understand why Mira Hall’s car would come crashing towards hers. She also could not understand why all the witnesses said she was in the wrong. She was fighting against the world. All the evidence and witnesses back then pointed to her being the perpetrator. After all, Mira Hall was

Chapter 42 She gently combed his fringe and trimmed the fringe little by little with a pair of scissors, She looked very focused. All her concentration was on the fringe. She did not even notice the pair of beautiful eyes under the fringe watching her. Jackson stared at her. Her face was slightly red due

Chapter 41 He paused as his eyes swept across the two dumbfounded people. “If they leave before that, they’re not allowed to step foot in this residence ever again.” The father and daughter flinched. Jackson’s words undoubtedly meant that, if they left without finding the ring, the Valor family would sever all ties with them.

Chapter 40 “Dad, you miss Mira too, don’t you?” asked Jenny. “When I saw Serenity Lewis that day, she did not look remorseful about Mira’s death at all.” “Enough. Stop speaking of that woman,” said Quinton. The sound of footsteps made them turn around. They saw Jackson Valor walking down the stairs. “You want to see me?” Jackson asked indifferently as he eyed the two people in front of him. When Jackson’s icy gaze swept past her, Jenny felt her body stiffen. This was the man her sister was madly in love with back in the days! Jenny still remembered her sister Mira once telling her with a dreamy face, “Jenny, I once thought that I’d never be able to make a man like Jackson Valor mine. He’s too cold, too rational. Even if you hold him, you can’t feel his warmth. He’s like a delicate and beautiful porcelain; you can see his surface, but never his inside.” Jenny felt the same way about Jackson Valor. Every time she saw him, she felt that she could never tell what’s on his mind. Therefore, even though Jackson Valor was extremely handsome and was the CEO of the Valor Group, Jenny never had any intention of dating him. He was simply too scary, too cold. Even though Mira loved Jackson Valor wholeheartedly and even managed to convince him to marry her, Jenny felt that Jackson Valor never actually loved her sister. At her sister’s funeral, Jackson did not shed a single tear. He did not look sad at all. “Jack, Jenny is young and naive, so she often makes mistakes. I already gave her a talking–to. I hope you can attend the engagement party. Jenny is Mira’s only sister. I believe Mira would have wanted you to attend Jenny’s engagement party too,” said Quinton with an earnest look. Jackson looked at Quinton with a strange smile. Quinton instantly felt like his throat had gone dry. He could not say another word. Quinton had been involved in the business world for many years, but now, in front of a man who almost became his son–in- law, he felt pressured, as if the man could see through his thoughts and plans. “She’s young and naive indeed. She didn’t even lose any ring, but even if she did, so what? It’s not important enough to make such a big fuss about it. You raised such a good daughter, Quinton,” said Jackson with a faint smile. Quinton forced a smile in return. Jenny’s face was flushed red. She was a young lady from the Hall family and a famous celebrity. People treated her with respect wherever she went. She had never been mocked like this before. But the person who was mocking her right now was jackson Valor. She could only endure it! “I can go to the engagement party.” Jackson slowly stood up and said, “But since your daughter likes to look for things so much, then maybe she can help me look for something first.” What? Quinton and Jenny looked at Jackson in confusion. Jackson walked to the side of the living room and pulled open the glass door. There was a man–made pond outside the door. He threw a ring he was playing with into the pond and told Quinton indifferently, “If your daughter can find the ring, I’ll attend the engagement party.” The two Halls were dumbfounded. They had to look for a tiny ring… in a pond?! He’s gotta be kidding!

Chapter 39 Many of her fans even expressed their disappointment in her and claimed they would not be her fans anymore. Some of Jenny’s more loyal fans expressed their disbelief. They wondered if there was a mistake somewhere. Another person who was in disbelief was Jenny herself. The police actually issued an investigation report, and she only found out about it the same time everyone else did! Jenny shivered. How could this happen? Could her public persona and the career she had worked so hard for be destroyed just like that? But the worst was yet to come. Jackson Valor’s personal secretary, Connor Gunn, informed the Hall family and the Shaw family that Jackson Valor would not attend their engagement party. The public naturally thought it was related to Jenny’s recent negative press. Serenity was a bit surprised when she saw the police investigation report. She did not expect it to come out so quickly. She was also surprised that the Halls and the Shaws did not suppress the news. In fact, the topic was still trending. “Jenny Hall is such a b*tch! She made us look for her ring when she didn’t even drop any ring!” In the Sanitation Office, the staff were talking about the incident. “No wonder so many people on the Internet are flaming her.” “But it’s strange. Why would a big celebrity like her lie and make us look for a ring that doesn’t exist?” someone wondered. “She probably has nothing better to do.” Xyla asked, “Serenity, I saw Jenny Hall talking to you for a long time that day. Do you know each other?” Quinn Fender happened to be passing by and heard her. She said mockingly, “Xyla, are you kidding? There’s no way Jenny Hall would know Serenity. Jenny Hall is famous.” “But I saw her talking to Serenity that day.” “Maybe Serenity offended Jenny, and that’s why she lied and said that she lost the ring,” speculated Quinn. Then, as if she had caught the culprit, she said, “So it was you, Serenity! You caused us to rummage through the garbage!” Because Peter liked Serenity, Quinn was always finding faults with her. Xyla did not expect Quinn to blame Serenity like this. Serenity gave Quinn a casual glance and said, “When a person lies, instead of blaming the person who lies, you blame someone else for making that person lie? Your sense of right and wrong is unbelievable.” Quinn blushed profusely but could not refute. She could only glare at Serenity hatefully before walking away. In the Valor Residence, Jenny and her father Quinton Hall stood in the living room anxiously, waiting for Jackson Valor. “You brat, why would you even do something like that? Serenity Lewis is just a sanitation worker now. She’s not worth your time. Why would you mess with her?” Quinton admonished his daughter. “I’m still mad that she killed Mira! If not for her, Jackson Valor wouldn’t be angry with the Shaw family, and Zeke’s ads wouldn’t be taken down,” Jenny said a little indignantly. Quinton’s expression was complicated. His lips moved slightly, but in the end, he said nothing.
