It felt as if he was scared that she would shatter if he hugged her too tightly. "I'm sorry, Serenity..." he whispered in her ear, "But can you let me hold you like this for a while longer?" he begged, with his voice choking back tears.He was the mighty Crown Prince of the entertainment industry, but now, he humbly begged her.Serenity's chest felt heavy. She remained still, nestled in Lucas' arms. He held her tenderly as if she were a cherished dream. She breathed in his scent as his heartbeat rang in her ears.She couldn't tell how long they stood there before he finally released her. "I'm sorry," Lucas apologized a second time, "I got too emotional. I confused you with... someone in my imagination.""It's okay," Serenity replied softly, aware of who he was referring to. "But it won't happen again." He gazed intently into her eyes, his voice resolute, "From now on, I won't mistake you for anyone else. You're you. You're unique. You're Serenity Lewis, the only person in t
"I... Haha, I heard a lot of famous stars will be here tonight, so I asked Terry to bring me here," Lisa chuckled. She was too embarrassed to tell Serenity that Terry had only agreed to bring her here after she kissed him, coaxed him, and gave him a good time in bed.Before coming, she had to promise Terry that she wouldn't ogle at the male celebrities, ask them for autographs, or take pictures with them.She reluctantly agreed. At least she would get to see them. It was better than nothing.To her surprise, her best friend was also here, and the person next to her was... Lisa looked Lucas Gomez up and down.As a fan of multiple celebrities, of course she recognized Lucas Gomez.He was the Crown Prince of the entertainment industry! He was the man behind many successful stars!Even if you were a pig, if he wanted to make you famous, you would become famous. "What are you doing here, Serenity? Also, how come you're with...""I came to look for someone. I asked for Mr. Gomez’s
Most of the popular new boy bands were debuted by the agency under the Gomez Group.Lisa claimed Terry was the most handsome man in the world and that she was enamored with him, but she still watched a lot of boy band videos. Terry hated it.When he tried to forbid her from watching those videos, she would put on a pitiful expression and said it was the only pastime she took joy in. That made him too ashamed to use forceful means.Terry felt powerless against Lisa."I'm surprised you're interested in that kind of thing, Mr. White," Lucas said.Terry's mouth twitched. "I simply think that your company might have debuted too many boy bands. They all feel the same to me. Maybe you should consider debuting some girl groups." Lisa wasn't interested in women, so Terry didn't care how many girl groups there were in the market.Lucas raised his eyebrows, surprised by Terry's suggestion."You seem to know quite a bit about the entertainment industry. Is there a girl group you're intere
Serenity looked like a famous young socialite in the elegant gown and exquisite makeup.Meanwhile, despite Lynette's regular beauty routines, despite hiring top class stylists to help her with makeup and styling, Lynette would still occasionally hear people around her mocking her as a country bumpkin. It seemed that even money couldn't fix certain things.Why was there such a big disparity? She and Serenity looked very similar when they were young. At times, people even confused them for twins! Otherwise, she couldn't have deceived Lucas with her childhood photos.But over time, she and Serenity grew more and more different from each other. Serenity got prettier while Lynette became more ordinary. Her eyes were not as pretty as Serenity's, her nose was bigger, and her skin wasn't as smooth.At the thought of that, Lynette grew even more resentful. "Why can't I be here with him?" Serenity asked her cousin with a sneer.Lynette was looking at Serenity as if Serenity had stolen som
The way Lucas kept his eyes on Serenity while she walked away filled Lynette's heart with jealousy. Thus, Lynette made a casual remark to try to make Lucas dislike Serenity, "I wonder what's happening between Serenity and Jackson Valor. Even though they've broken up, I hear they're still frequently seeing each other." To her surprise, Lucas actually glared at her when he heard that.Lynette trembled, feeling as though Lucas could see right through her act. "Lynette, you know that I love Serenity. I don't want to hear you badmouth her in front of me ever again," Lucas said coldly. Lynette protested, "I didn't! I just..." "You just what?" Lucas cut her short. His dark, emotionless eyes and icy voice created a heavy pressure that almost suffocated Lynette.Lynette was shocked. Ever since she pretended to be the girl Lucas was looking for, he had always treated her with courtesy. Even when she did something wrong, he would tolerate her.But now, his attitude was cold!It made h
Serenity approached Sandra and Wilson, greeting them. "Mr. Birch, Ms. Cooper, hello!""It's you." Wilson looked at Serenity with some surprise, recognizing her. Wilson had seen Serenity several times before. If he remembered correctly, Serenity was dating Jackson. Moreover, she had once taken care of Yanny. In other words, she knew Clara! For a moment, Clara's face came to Wilson's mind."I'm Serenity Lewis, the attorney representing Ms. Clara Wells in her custody case." Serenity introduced herself.Standing beside Wilson, Sandra's face suddenly changed at the mention of Clara's name. "What are you doing here? Did Clara ask you to plead on her behalf? We won't budge on the child's custody. The child will only live in misery with her."Serenity shifted her gaze to Sandra's face. Sandra was pretty good-looking but not a stunning beauty. Her soft looks could easily arouse a man's desire to protect her."No. Ms. Wells didn't ask me to speak on her behalf. I came specifically to meet
Serenity turned to leave after her last statement. She was a little aggressive with what she had said toward the end and wondered if it would work on Wilson.Based on Serenity's research, Wilson had always been high-minded. She hoped what she said would work on a prideful man like him. Otherwise, she would have to ask Terry to get Clara a new job. After Serenity had left, Wilson turned to Sandra. "Why did you do that?"Sandra's face paled. Chewing her lips slightly, Sandra stammered as she tried to explain herself. "I'm just… I'm just trying to help you. You're so desperate to win custody. I-If Clara doesn't have enough income, the court… There's no way the court will award custody to Clara."Wilson stared down at Sandra, his lips pursed tightly.Sandra felt a little weak. It was as if Wilson had seen through her real motives. Sandra had not harassed Clara for the custody. The real reason she had sent someone to cause trouble was just to vent out the anger in her heart.After al
Serenity understood her friend well. Even if Lisa was obsessed with celebrities, it was only pure admiration. For Lisa, her love was always just Terry. And Terry's willingness to accompany Lisa was a sign of tolerance and love for her.Serenity was happy for her friend. Lisa was very blessed to have such a tolerant boyfriend. She hoped Lisa's happiness would last for a long time to come.Serenity waited until Lisa was done talking to the celebrity and approached her. "I came to tell you that I'm leaving.""You're leaving already? Why don't you stay longer? It's a rare chance to meet the celebrities," Lisa gushed."You can go ahead. Well, you know. Uh, I'm not really interested in celebrities," Serenity rejected.Lisa thought about it and agreed. She did not hold her friend back and said, "Have you met Sandra and Wilson?""Yeah. I've talked to them. We'll see if Clara has any more trouble," Serenity said. She came closer, leaning toward her friend's ear as she whispered, "I know y
