Her colleagues were speculating about Serenity's marriage when suddenly, the room fell into silence.Someone rich with the name Valor—the wealthiest man in Solaria was Jackson Valor! Everyone looked at each other curiously, seeing that same suspicion in each other's eyes."It can't be…" After a long silence, someone finally spoke. "Could it be... Jackson Valor?""Impossible!" Liliana immediately refuted, "Those men must be actors! Serenity hired them to make her story believable. She wants us to think she really got married. Is she really married to Jackson? If so, why would she have worked here? She has only been working for less than three months here and has gotten pregnant."A colleague could not help but disagree. "Actors? That seems unlikely." "Yeah. Wouldn't it be easier to find a man to act as her husband?" someone suggested.Her colleagues were no fools and realized how far-fetched Liliana's counter-argument was, naturally. Some of them walked to the window, staring out
Serenity said calmly, "I don't need money. I won't divorce him either. I'm not giving birth for the Valor family's sake. The children are mine."Serenity had always dreamed of having her own family. She wanted to be their mother and live her life with her triplets. That was why she would risk her life to give birth to them. It was for herself, not for anyone else!Master Zack seemed to be angry and coughed a little. "Can you really stay with him forever? You'll leave him one day, eventually!""I swore on his father's grave. I would be a good wife and stay with him all my life. I'll never leave," Serenity said.Master Zack said mock-warningly, "You'll never leave? What a pity. If you knew what he…"Before Master Zack could finish his sentence, someone barged into the room and quickly ran to Serenity. "Are you alright?" Jackson asked nervously."I'm fine." Serenity was a little surprised that Jackson had come so quickly. She turned to Master Zack again and told him, "Master Zack. I
Jackson's hand tightened on Serenity's arm so hard his knuckles turned white, and Serenity's pained yelp snapped him back to reality. "Does it hurt?" Jackson asked, releasing his grip."I'm fine. Something on your mind?" Serenity asked.Jackson looked at Serenity's face, wondering if he should be honest with his thoughts. He did not want her to know the truth. If Master Zack had told her the truth about the car accident, what would she think of him? Would she treat him the same and never leave him?Jackson pressed two fingers to her cheek, holding her in his arms."You promised you'll always stay by my side. That you'd never leave me. If you do, I'll… I'll probably choose to die with you," Jackson rasped, a hint of vulnerability in his eyes. Serenity breathed in his heavenly scent, hearing not just his voice but also his pounding heartbeat. She did not expect Jackson to threaten Master Zack earlier, defending her and her babies. It gave her a warm feeling, something she had not f
It was almost time for the birthday party to start, and people around her began to talk about Lucas' absence."Hey, is Mr. Gomez planning to come?""I heard she got beaten up yesterday. Did Prince Lucas do it?""I knew it. How could Prince Lucas like someone like her? She's rude and ugly. She'll never be a celebrity even if she wears an expensive dress.""It seemed like she got Mr. Gomez's attention because she helped him as a kid. Even so, a person like her would never climb to success."The sarcastic remarks echoed in the hall, embarrassing Lynette with every minute that passed. She could not stand it anymore and immediately took the microphone, telling everyone that Lucas had something to do and would be late. "The following are some clips from my first performance in a TV show. I'd like to show them to you and hope to have the opportunity to work with all of you someday."Lynette stood under the big screen with a smile, intending to prove herself to those who looked down up
"What a scheming person! Why is Prince Lucas supporting a person like this?""It's disgusting, deliberately framing someone like this. Wouldn't the man in the video be wrongly accused if not for this video?""I heard Lynette is suing a guy for sexual assault. That's not the guy, is it? Oh, my God. Why is the perpetrator suing the innocent? Lynette's the one who's going to prison!"Everyone was commenting on the video. Lynette heard everything and grew angry, wanting to smash the screen! 'Who is it? Who's trying to hurt me?!' Just then, Lynette heard a commotion at the entrance and looked up to see a tall man walking toward her. It was Lucas! Lynette rushed to Lucas immediately. She was hoping that Lucas would show up early, but not at such timing! She wanted to prove to everyone that she had a great relationship with Lucas, but she would rather he did not come when such a video was playing on the screen. "Lucas, don't look! This video is a setup. It's not real… It's… They must
Lynette's heart pounded harder in fear. "I-I don't know what you're talking about, Lucas! You must've misunderstood me… Tell them to let me go! We can talk about it…" Lynette tried to plead, but Lucas simply ignored her. He ordered his men, "Strip her. Take away all the valuable things she's wearing!"The people around them were shocked at his order. Strip her?! Right here?!Word had it that Lynette and Mr. Gomez were very close because she had saved him in the past. That was why Mr. Gomez had given Lynette so much support, providing her with resources. He had even given her money and a villa!Would Prince Lucas turn his back on Lynette? The crowd wondered what had happened, but no one stood up for Lynette. Someone walked over, stripping Lynette of her jewelry and expensive dress."No! Lucas, how could you do this to me?! I saved your life back then! Even if I was wrong, you can't humiliate me like this!" Lynette yelled and struggled, but her struggles were to no avail. Lynette
"Lynette, you're amazing. I never thought someone like you could've fooled me!" Lucas snapped, putting his hand behind her head.Lucas pushed Lynette down, crushing her head against the floor. Her forehead hurt from hitting the ground.Lynette struggled to move her head, but Lucas tightened his grip, pressing her firmly on the ground."Do you realize what you've done? Your greed has ruined my life. Lynette, you deserve to die! You deserve it!""No… Lucas… T-Trust me… I'm the one who saved your life… Don't listen to someone else's lie…" Lynette struggled.Lucas lifted her up again and strangled her neck. "You think I haven't checked? I've investigated everything. You were never the one who saved me. It was Serenity!"Lynette trembled uncontrollably, her face terribly pale. The red and hatred in Lucas' eyes had put her in utter fear.'H-He knows! He knows the truth!' Lynette realized suddenly, knowing that her lies would no longer work. Lucas would never believe her again. Knowi
Lucas walked out of the lavish banquet hall without looking back even once. He would make sure that Lynette would spend the rest of her life paying for what she had done!He, too, would probably spend the rest of his life paying for his mistake! There was simply no other way to put it–this was all his fault, so he must bear the consequences himself!His happiness had just ended, and he would never find it again for the rest of his life!*** Everything that happened at Lynette's birthday party quickly became a hot topic that very same night, including the video that showed Lynette deliberately framing Peter Wall, followed by Lucas Gomez's arrival and his order to let people strip the clothes off of Lynette's body.Although videos of what had happened at the end were not released, the explosive contents of the videos spread around were enough to convince everyone that the woman who had been relying on the Prince of the Entertainment Industry to get into acting was now completely do
