The group suddenly panicked. Seeing that the room was about to be searched, Kyle immediately yelled, "Do you have the right to perform a search?! How can the police just barge in?!"Kyle and Maeve tried to rush forward, but the police officers stopped them. Someone soon discovered that the door to a certain room was locked.Just then, another car arrived in front of Kyle's house, and a tall figure stepped out of the car and walked into the yard. Meanwhile, a police officer walked to the man and informed him about the situation."There's a locked door. She may be inside."As the police officer spoke, he led the man to the locked room door. In the meantime, the group of four became desperate and gave all sorts of excuses, refusing to open the door.Jackson stared at the door and commanded coldly, "Break the door open."Someone immediately took an axe and split the door open."You can't go in! This is trespassing! I'm going to sue!" Kyle and Maeve shouted. No matter how loud they w
Jackson suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. Serenity was fine when she left this morning, but...She had ended up in such a bad state. If he had come with her, she would not have suffered this way.When Jackson tried to approach her, her body trembled even more. She subconsciously squeezed the broken mirror glass in her hand, causing her to bleed more."Sis, it's me. Please let go of your hand. You're safe now. No one will hurt you anymore," Jackson said in a hurry.Jackson had never been afraid of blood. He would usually not feel anything seeing someone hurt and dripping blood.However, Jackson was afraid of seeing her bleed at this moment. He feared she would hurt more, afraid she would lose too much blood.This fear made him tremble.Serenity could not feel anything except for the heat in her body. The pain was the only thing keeping her awake. More pain! Serenity thought she needed more pain to protect herself and not pass out. 'I mustn't fall asleep! I can't!'Seren
Jackson held the woman carefully in his arms. Anyone who saw that could tell how important she was to him.Some of those present who knew Jackson's true identity were secretly surprised to see this.After all, the most powerful man in Solaria had arrived at a place like this in the early hours of the morning and caused such a big scene all just for a woman. No matter who she was, she might soon cause a stir in Solaria."Find out who is involved in this. Don't leave anyone out," Jackson ordered."Yes." One of the men with Jackson answered.At the same time, Kyle and Maeve were devastated to see their son, Felix, screaming in pain. They were about to cry seeing the yard full of police officers.The couple glared at Serenity's uncles with great resentment. "Who is this woman you gave us?!"Francis and Desmond's faces were ashen, and they looked at each other at a loss. Their niece was an ex-convict, out of prison for less than half a year. They thought she was just a helpless woman
"Fifteen minutes," Connor stated.A small ordinary hospital would not help with Ms. Lewis's current state. They would have to send her to a big hospital in the city.By the time the car arrived at the hospital, Connor had finally gotten the list of the drug content, and he had contacted the doctors on the way to the hospital. All of them were the best doctors in their field.Anyone would be shocked to see these great doctors gathered right here in such a short period of time. Whenever this happened, it usually meant something big had happened.Contrary to what might have been the case, the doctors were studying the list of drug content and giving an emergency consultation to a woman in ordinary clothing.The doctor advised, "It's nothing serious. We can administer some sedatives to her, then just let her sweat more and expel the drug through sweating. It should help with her current situation. If she didn't take the drug in large doses for a long time, the drug shouldn't cause any
"Jack..."Serenity murmured softly, and her whispering voice hit Jackson's heart hard, as if with the weight of a million pounds.Serenity raised her chin, and a smile bloomed on her face as she kissed him fiercely.Jackson looked at her in confusion. She was so close to him, and he could have avoided the kiss, but... He chose not to.Serenity was the only one who could make him like this.When he heard her calling his name in a rasping voice, he finally snapped back to his senses. He had almost lost his mind earlier!Jackson took a deep breath and rang the emergency call bell.Not long after, the doctors and nurses rushed over and gave Serenity another dose of sedative. Finally, Serenity quieted down once more. Connor noticed something different about Jackson. Connor had been with Jackson for years. Others might not have noticed anything, but he could sense something different about Jackson.'Could it be...' Connor glanced at Serenity on the bed. Suddenly, a moment of clarit
Nevertheless, he certainly had no feelings left for Serenity! It was a pity that he could not possibly tell Jenny the truth now, but he was still anxious that Jenny might misunderstand him."Jenny," he said after taking a deep breath, "there are some things that I just can't tell you even if I wanted to."Jenny stared at Zeke for a while and asked, "Does Serenity Lewis have anything to do with Joy's injury?"Zeke stared back at his fiancee in astonishment, completely unable to utter a word. Still, his silence and expressions were enough to let Jenny know that her guess was correct."So she really does have something to do with it," she said, before continuing to speculate, "Did she make a new friend in prison? A friend with some connections, maybe?"Before Zeke could answer her, a voice suddenly rang out, "So my injuries were Serenity's doing, huh?!"Joy walked into the room with a limp. She had merely intended to come over to tell her brother and Jenny to return to the living
Joy almost passed out due to the shock. How could she ever guess that Jackson Valor would be the one behind her injuries and that he had ordered the attack to help Serenity?!Why would he do such a thing for a woman like that?!After all, his fiancee, Mira Hall, was a renowned beauty! As for Serenity... Well, Joy had to concede to the fact that she used to be beautiful in the past, but after being in prison for three years and now becoming a sanitation worker sweeping the streets all day, she would never even have the time to take care of her appearances, so how pretty could she be?!How could it be possible that Jackson Valor, a man so used to being surrounded by great beauties, would ever be interested in a woman like Serenity?!"That's why you must never harm Serenity ever again," Zeke warned his sister. "Also, don't ever tell anyone about anything I said just now, not even Mom and Dad! Jackson told me that he doesn't want anyone to know about this. In fact, I've probably made a
A cold shudder spread through his body as Zeke thought about this, and he turned to look at Jenny beside him. Right now, the Hall family and the Shaw family were each other's close allies, so even if Jackson Valor was currently interested in Serenity, he would probably never go so far as to... declare war against the two wealthy families just because of a woman like her, would he?After all, Serenity had no one else to blame but herself for all the bad things that happened to her back then, right?!***Serenity felt as if she had been stuck in an unending nightmare.In it, she was back in prison where no matter where she tried to run and hide, no matter how much she begged for mercy, she could never escape any of the torture she was subjected to. Bitterly cold water, disgusting filth, all the feet that had stepped on her head, pinning her to the ground as they mocked her, "Isn't that the great lawyer, Miss Lewis? Look how far she has fallen! She used to be an intellectual, yet now
