If the deity truly was merciful, may he grant her mercy so she could move on from this relationship and regain inner peace!She now realized that, sometimes, being able to not love someone was also a kind of blessing.In a car at the bottom of the mountain, Jackson leaned back against the backseat and closed his eyes to take a rest.From the front seat, Connor glanced anxiously at his boss through the rearview mirror.Although Mr. Valor definitely saw Serenity Lewis earlier, he showed no reaction. He seemed to not care about her anymore.At least, that's how it seemed like on the outside.Connor was doubtful though. After all, he witnessed their whole relationship, from the beginning until the end.Connor knew how important Serenity Lewis was to Mr. Valor. He would give his life up for her if that's what she wanted.He loved her so much. Could he really move on this quickly?In Connor's opinion, the more indifferent Mr. Valor appeared, the more he still cared about her inside.
Serenity simply smirked at Lynette. She didn't believe Lynette at all. She was at least 90% certain that the incident was Lynette's doing.She wondered what the result of the police investigation was.Lucas walked over too. He said, "Like you, I also came after receiving a call from the police. Once we find out who drugged that man and locked the lounge, I'll make them pay!"Serenity looked him in the eye. Was he telling her that because he knew she suspected Lynette? He wanted her to know that even if the culprit was Lynette, he would still make her pay?When Lynette heard Lucas say that, she trembled, and a hint of envy flashed across her eyes.Lucas cared so much about Serenity that he couldn't stand to see her upset. But nothing happened to her though. She only got some minor bruises on her arms."Please come inside. We have something to tell you guys," said a police officer.Jonas Zeller's parents were also in the room. After all, technically speaking, Jonas Zeller was a vi
Lynette felt relieved. At 4:12 pm, she was putting on her makeup! There were many eyewitnesses!"Who moved the camera?" Lucas asked."We'll have to investigate further. We'll ask around to see if anybody saw anyone moving the camera. We'll also reach out to those near the lounge to see if they noticed anything. Unfortunately, this might take some time," the police officer said, then moved onto the topic of Jonas Zeller.According to Jonas' statement, he went to see Lynette on the day of the incident, and Lynette told him to wait in the lounge.About 10 minutes later, Jonas started experiencing discomfort, and after that, he couldn't remember anything else.The hospital's examination showed that Jonas was indeed drugged with an aphrodisiac. Unfortunately, the drug could easily be found online, making it difficult to trace the source.The police said they would keep investigating, but with the clues they had now, it may be hard to get a result that quickly.Lynette was immensely r
"Almost missed the bus," a soft voice said behind Serenity.She turned around and was taken aback to find Lucas standing behind her. "Why did you board the bus?" she asked."I still wanted to take you home. Since you declined my offer to give you a ride, I decided to keep you company on the bus instead," he explained.Serenity never expected that Lucas would take the bus with her.The driver said, "Please buy a ticket."Lucas rummaged around in his pockets and found a hundred-dollar bill. It was the only "loose change" he had."Wait!" Serenity quickly stopped Lucas from putting the note into the ticket machine. "You're gonna buy a ticket with a hundred-dollar bill?"Lucas shrugged, "It's all I have."Serenity pursed her lips, then said, "Never mind, I'll pay for you. Put your money away." She swiped her monthly pass one more time, then walked to the middle section of the bus.It wasn't rush hour, but although the bus wasn't packed, all the seats were taken.Serenity found a g
He must follow his heart!Serenity did not know what to say. They both fell into a tense silence.At that moment, a passenger got up from her seat to get off the bus, leaving the seat next to Serenity empty."Aren't you gonna sit down? Or do you prefer to stand with me?" Lucas asked.Serenity pursed her lips and sat down. At least, if she's sitting down and he's standing up, there would be more distance between them, and the atmosphere wouldn't be so awkward.Oh, how wrong she was.Lucas came closer and held onto the handle on her seat, one hand on each side of her. He was tall, so he had to bend down slightly, making it seem like he had completely enclosed her in his arms.Serenity blushed and looked down, trying to ignore Lucas.However, they were still ten stops away from her apartment, so the ride could take more than 40 minutes.Therefore, Serenity closed her eyes and feigned sleep.Lucas peered at the woman in the chair. He observed her black hair, her willow eyebrows,
"Are you awake?" She heard Lucas ask.Serenity looked up and blushed a little. She responded vaguely before quickly exiting the bus.Lucas followed her off the bus.Along the way back to her apartment, no matter how slow or fast she walked, Lucas would keep pace with her and stay next to her."Okay, I'll head back now," he said when they arrived, obviously having no intention of going in. Before leaving, he remembered something, so he turned around and said, "By the way, even if the police can't find anything, I'll keep investigating. I don't care who the culprit actually wanted to harm, I'll find them and make sure they pay for their crime."Serenity asked Lucas, "You believe what Lynette said? That she was the intended victim and I got dragged into it by accident?" Lucas replied, "No, I'm not taking her word for it. I'll find out what really happened." Serenity then asked, "If you discover that Lynette really is the culprit, will you turn her over to the police and let the l
Lucas bought this condo for her.Before this, she thought Lucas was treating her very well. He would buy her whatever she wanted.However, after seeing how he treated Serenity, she finally realized that, when a man genuinely cared about a woman, he would do more than just shower her with material possessions. He would show her a tenderness that he would not show anyone else.Lucas obviously cared about Serenity!How could Serenity take Lucas away from her?!Lynette didn't know why Serenity chose to remain silent after regaining her memory, but since that was Serenity's decision, she shouldn't get so intimate with Lucas! She shouldn't let Lucas fall in love with her!The elevator stopped on Lynette's floor. She unlocked the door and walked in. Before she could close the door, a person rushed into her house.The person then slammed the door shut.Lynette was about to scream, but the person's words quickly silenced her."You don't remember me anymore, Ms. Blossom? I moved the sur
Lynette's eyes lit up. "You have a plan?""If I didn't, I wouldn't be here. You want to be Mrs. Gomez, don't you? Unfortunately, the woman Lucas Gomez loves is Serenity, so you have no chance," Aria said.Lynette was no fool. She immediately asked, "What's in it for you?""Money. I just want money. Besides, I have a grudge to settle with Serenity," answered Aria. If not for Serenity, she and her parents would not be in their current predicament.Her parents had to find work in another city, while she stayed in Solaria doing odd jobs. She couldn't even get a job as a janitor; she was only a temporary stand-in for people on sick leaves.But as luck would have it, she ran into Lynette and was "hired" by her.Lynette frowned. She had just been blackmailed by Jonas Zeller, and now Aria Lewis wanted to blackmail her too?"Don't tell me you're not even willing to make a little sacrifice to gain the final victory?" Aria questioned with a smirk. "I'll help you get rid of Serenity, then I
