Chapter 19 But what surprised Jenny even more was the appearance of Connor shortly after Serenity had left. He was Jackson’s personal assistant. “Mr. Gunn!” Mr. Wallace quickly greeted him respectfully. Connor looked at William with a gaze that resembled someone looking at a dead man. Of all the people to provoke, William just had […]
Chapter 18 Jenny’s face was filled with disbelief. Jackson… wanted to see Serenity? As a member of the Hall family, Jenny naturally understood that Jackson might not have been particularly interested in her sister. Choosing her sister as his fiancee was simply because she was suitable to become the mistress of the Valor family. At Mira’s funeral, Jackson had only had indifference on his face, as if the life of Jenny’s sister was insignificant to him. Sometimes, she couldn’t help but wonder what could actually stir the man’s emotions… And now, she saw it. There were lines of faint anger on his beautiful face, something she had never witnessed before. And it was because of… Serenity?! The woman who was as insignificant as an ant?! She turned to look at Zeke and saw the same disbelief reflected in his eyes. Connor, who was standing beside Jackson, quickly responded, “Understood, Mr. Valor.” Was Jackson ángry? Connor shivered slightly at the thought. Anyone who had witnessed Jackson getting angry would never want to see it again in their lifetime. But suddenly, Jackson spoke again, “Forget it. Go and deal with the matter downstairs. It’s too noisy!” Conner nodded and left in a hurry. Caught between a daze and the feeling of suffocation, Serenity vaguely thought she had heard Jack’s voice… But he was always calm, and she had never heard him angry before. ‘Jack… Jack…!‘ The cold yet angelic face flashed in her mind. If she really died here, would Jack be sad for her? Just as Serenity felt that she was about to pass out from the lack of air, the pressure around her neck suddenly loosened, and she collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath as she greedily gulped in the fresh air. At the same time, two security guards restrained William. The man was in a sorry state, pressed down on the ground. More security guards quickly filed into the area. When Jackson had spoken earlier, William hadn’t taken it seriously, nor did he expect the man that Chapter 18 had just spoken to be Jackson, who had extraordinary influence in Solaria City. A senior manager of the club hurriedly approached them. “Mr. Wallace, what are you doing?! Get them to release me this instant!” William yelled. His family also held shares in the club, which made him one of the bosses here, and that was the reason he could act so arrogantly. 2/3 However, Mr. Wallace didn’t spare William a glance. He simply walked up to Serenity and respectfully said, “Miss, you may leave now.” Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard that, especially William. “Mr. Wallace, what are you saying? She’s just a sanitation worker. I didn’t allow her to leave! Who does she think she is-‘ “This is Mr. Valor’s order. He doesn’t like to be disturbed,” Mr. Wallace explained. The mention of Jackson made William tremble violently.
Chapter 17 Serenity could feel her heart pounding heavily in her chest. Goodness, what had gotten into her?! She blushed and quickly withdrew her hand. “Okay, let’s… eat before it gets cold.” With that, she concentrated on her food and started eating voraciously. Jackson smiled faintly as he watched her face
Chapter 16 Serenity couldn’t help but tense when she heard those names. The mention of them itself was enough to give her the feeling of falling into a nightmare! Naturally, she also knew about the six-carat diamond ring. After all, she had seen it in the news. Even if she tried to avoid seeing anything
Chapter 15 “I’m staying with you. The mattress is right next to the bed. If you turn your head, you can see me,” Serenity said in response. “Will you stay with me?” Jackson whispered, not even realizing that a hint of longing had seeped into his eyes. Serenity bit her lip and hesitated for a
Chapter 14 It felt like a vivid and painful slap in Amanda’s face. She was so furious that she turned around and quickly left the place in embarrassment with Janice following close behind. Serenity felt like she had just watched a drama unfold before her eyes. As soon as they exited the mall, they had
Chapter 13 “A phone like this is already pretty good!” Jackson interrupted her and looked down as if he was genuinely focused on choosing a phone. Just then, a voice rang out, “Serenity, is that you?” Serenity looked up to see Janice coming toward her with another woman by her side. It was clear that
Chapter 12 When Serenity had been in prison, she had been all alone. Lisa had visited her from time to time, encouraged her, and worked hard for her affairs. Otherwise, she might not have gotten out of prison alive. It was Lisa who had supported her during those three difficult years. ‘Lifesaver?’ Thoughts flickered in
Chapter 11 Grayson, Catherine, and Aria looked at each other at a loss. Catherine wanted to curse, but Grayson stopped her. “Enough. That man may be an ex-convict too! There are all kinds of people in jail. Who knows what he was in jail for.” Catherine paused for a moment before saying uneasily, “Are we
Chapter 10 “As long as you don’t do anything illegal or commit any serious crimes, how could I be disappointed?” Serenity said. After putting on her shoes and socks, she got up and walked toward the small square table. Jackson watched the back of her figure with a smile, and an inexplicable light flashed in
