Chapter 208 “Y-you came.” Serenity spoke, but her throat felt dry. She moved sideways and let Jackson into the room. “Have you been waiting. Sis?” Jackson smiled and went to the table. Then, he saw the papers spread out on the table. Serenity had left the case file on the table and did not have […]

Chapter 207 The part-the job la introduced was acting as an extra Serenity only needed to register her name and leave a contact number on the line to apply for the job. They would not check her records. A background actor would receive a daily rate of 80 dollars, and lunch was provided. Dinner would

Chapter 206 Serenity then heard herself singing “Walk of Life’ in her childish voice. “W-what if we get caught again? What if we can’t escape?” The little boy’s voice rang again. “Silly. Why can’t we escape? I’ll definitely get you out!” “If you leave me behind, you’ll surely escape.” “I won’t leave you behind! I

Chapter 205 Serenity had had very little time to sleep every day for the past few days. She had work during the day and was busy. researching and knitting gloves at night. Early this morning, she had taken the bus to the town and had a busy day. Therefore, it was not long before Serenity

Chapter 204 After all. Lucas had first met the girl in this small town. After asking Serenity a series of questions, lucas thought about it again. It seemed like he was overthinking it. “You’re not her,” Lucas stated indifferently. Serenity was not the one he was looking for. ‘Not who? Confusion flashed in Serenity’s eyes,

Chapter 203 “I see,” Serenity responded. She somehow had a feeling that Lucas was telling her all of these things on purpose, Lucas continued speaking, his penetrating dark gaze pinned on her. “I was separated from a girl in the hospital many years ago this day. She told me about this restaurant, which was her

Chapter 202 Serenity wished she had nothing to do with Jackson anymore, or so sise thought. After all, his existence had been a nightmare to her. She could not believe she was thinking of him, wanting him to save her! “Why did you come here?” Luca s’s cold voice rang in the “My grandmother is

Chapter 201“She deserved the consequences for doing what she shouldn’t have,” Lucas responded casually, almost as if it did not matter atall.When Serenity heard that, her heart ski p pe d a beat. Had Lyra been banned and forced out of the entertainment industry? She would no longer be a star and would have to

Chapter 200 We’ll take your mother home and tell Serenity we can’t afford to pay for her treatment. Let’s see if she’ll pay then!” Henry said angrily. “But what if she really takes us to court?” Francis said uneasily. Desmond quickly added, “Yeah, she used to be a lawyer. Besides, she knows a big shot now… If she really sues us, I don’t think we have any chance of winning.” Henry rubbed his chin and said unhappily, “Then you three take care of the remaining three quarters of the bills.” “Us?” Theresa asked in disbelief. “What else can we do? Wait for that girl to sue?” Henry glared at his daughter, “If you don’t pay for the medical bills, you won’t get a dime of the resettlement compensation!” Theresa instantly shut up. Although she was already married, Henry had promised to share some of the resettlement compensation with her.  Her whole family was counting on the resettlement compensation! If Serenity really sued them, they might actually have to give her a share of the resettlement compensation too. Everybody there exchanged glances. In the end, they could only try their best to come up with the money together. Serenity returned to her grandmother’s ward and found that she was asleep. Serenity sat down by the hospital bed and quietly stared at her grandmother’s sleeping face. The grandmother who had always protected her had grown old and needed her protection now. If she actually had the money, she did not mind paying all of her grandmother’s medical bills by herself. However, the harsh reality was she barely had enough money to survive. There was no way she could afford to pay the medical bills by herself. Now that she had threatened her relatives with the resettlement compensation, she believed they would make sure her grandmother got proper treatment. If the medical bills were not paid fully, she would help her grandmother fight for her rights and her share of the resettlement compensation to ensure that she would be taken care of for the rest of her life. Serenity could not do much for her grandmother, but she could do that Serenity had no idea how long she stayed in the ward. She only left when a nurse came in to check on her grandmother. By then, the sky outside had turned dark When she walked out of the ward unit, she saw a familiar figure coming out of the outpatient building at the same time. Serenity was surprised. She did not expect to run into lacas Gomez at a place like this. He was alone Lucas saw Serenity as well. His eyes brightened. He came over to her and said, “What a coincidence.” “Yeah, what a coincidence,” she replied. She tried to walk past him. But he immediately reached out to stop her and said, “The last time I bought you dinner, it didn’t turn out to be very pleasant. Why don’t you let me take you out to dinner again as an apology for last time?” Serenity knew that Lucas was talking about the incident with his ex–girlfriend, Lyra Ross. Speaking of Lyra Ross, Serenity remembered she would often come across her news on the internet a while back, but recently, there was no news about her at all, as if no such person existed in the entertainment industry. “How’s that ex–girlfriend of yours doing?” Serenity could not help but ask, but the moment the words left her mouth, she instantly regretted it. It wasn’t her place to ask.

Chapter 199 Their expressions instantly changed. Theresa inmediately questioned, “What do you mean by the “It means I don’t intend to pay $30,000!” Serenity said coldly, “I never claimed to know any big shot. Granny is your mother, Aunt Theresa. It’s your duty to take care of her. Why are you asking me for travel expenses and meal costs when I’m not even a Walker? Don’t you find it ridiculous? “That can’t be right, Serenity. Your Uncle Francis and Uncle Desmond saw the big shot carrying you out of the Foster Residence with their own eyes.” “I don’t know anything All I remember is that I was drugged by my two uncles and I lost consciousness,” said Serenity mockingly, “Maybe that guy simply had a strong sense of justice and tried to help when he saw two men drugging their own niece. Why don’t you ask Uncle Francis and Uncle Desmond who he is? I want to know too because I’d like to thank him personally.” Η Henry Walker and his children exchanged glances. She did not know him?! But that’s impossible! “Serenity, you have to pay the hospital bills no matter what. Your Granny only fell sick because your Uncle Francis, Uncle Desmond and Aunt Theresa were arrested by the police,” said Henry. “Grandpa, you got it all wrong. I’m the victim here. The police are just doing their job. If those three didn’t scheme to make me marry the moron, all this wouldn’t have happened. If you think they got arrested because of me, let’s go to the police station together to make things clear.” Serenity said calmly. Henry’s face stiffened while his children panicked. The three of them just got released after spending many days in jail. If they go back to the police station to “make things clear they might get locked up again. “So you don’t intend to pay a penny for your Granny’s medical bills?” Henry asked unhappily. “If we don’t pay her bills, she’ll get licked out of the hospital “There’s the resettlement compensation, right? Isn’t the house you and Granny are living in going to be demolished? The house is a joint property between you two, which means Granny owns half the right to the house. According to the current compensation rate for resettlement, you’ll get at least $150,000. Half of that, which is $75,000, belongs to Granny. You can apply for a loan first to pay the medical bills and pay off the loan when you get the resettlement money.” Serenity talked so much that the Walkers had a hard time keeping up with what she said, but one thing was clear to them, and that was the fact that Serenity intended to use the resettlement compensation to pay for the medical bills. “What does the resettlement compensation have to do with you? You’re not even a Walker! You have no right to talk about the resettlement compensation!” Francis immediately yelled, as if Serenity was trying to get a cut of the pie “Oh, now you remember that I’m not a Walker? Then why did you ask me to pay for everything?” Serenity said calmly, “I’ll cover a quarter of Granny’s medical bills, which I will pay directly to the hospital. As for the rest, you guys take care of it. If Granny doesn’t get proper treatment, I’ll take you people to court.” After saying that, Serenity left. She could no longer be bothered with these so–called relatives of hers. The Walkers looked at each other. “Dad, Serenity would only cover a quarter of the medical bills. What should we do about the rest?” Francis asked cautiously.
