Compared to before, her standing now was a stark contrast to the past. Serenity walked over to Jackson’s desk and noticed the documents that lined his desk. One could almost imagine how busy he was at work. Suddenly, her attention fell on a folder that was labeled “Emerald Hall Garden”. She recalled that Emerald Hall Garden was a property that belonged to the Hall family. It was one of the most important projects in their recent foray into the real estate industry. It was said that tens of billions had been spent to purchase the land, and much development had been carried out on the land. The amount of publicity given to the project reflected the level of importance the Hall family had attached to it. But why was the file on Jack’s desk? Serenity was still pondering in silence when the door to the office swung open. She accidentally knocked over a folder from being startled, sending its contents spilling out on the floor. She was stunned the moment she noticed what these co
"Zeke Shaw..." mumbled Jackson, "He betrayed you, but... if he didn't, would you have married him?""No," Serenity said."Why are you so sure?""When I was younger, I didn't know how important homogamy is for some people. Thinking about it now, his parents would never have let me marry him."Serenity could only sigh that she was too young and too naive back then."Besides, Zeke Shaw didn't actually love me that much. He may have some feelings for me, but it's probably due to novelty more than anything. He wouldn't go against his parents' wishes and give up his family wealth for me. That's why he could distance himself from me so quickly after the accident.""What if he was willing to go against his parents' wishes and give up his family wealth for you? Would you have married him?" Now, it was Jackson's turn to get jealous, his handsome face filled with concern.Serenity couldn't help but laugh. "Do you think everyone's like you? That would never have happened. I can't possibly i
"I'll do my best to protect you as well," Serenity said. She then suddenly realized something. "So that's why the Halls sent you Mira Hall's photos. Because you're going to make a move on Charles Hall, they're hoping that you'll reconsider out of respect for her."Jackson's eyes flickered. The Halls didn't send him those photos in the hope that he would reconsider; they're reminding him of what happened in the past!In the VIP lounge of an airport, Terry White silently played with his plane ticket. He would be leaving Solaria soon.He had already made up his mind, so why couldn't he stop thinking of Lisa? Lisa, with her head wrapped in thick white bandages and her face pale, calmly told him, "I hope you get what you wish for."Did... Did he really get what he wished for?Probably. She's alive. She would eventually recover, be discharged from the hospital, and start a new life. In a way, he did get what he wished for, didn't he?"Are you still thinking about that ex-girlfriend of
She didn't have much time left, and she didn't want to waste what little time she had in the hospital. She wanted to spend more time with her mother and her son."I know. I'm prepared for it. Can you increase the painkiller's dosage? The pain has gotten a little more intense lately," Clara said.The doctor sighed. He could understand why Clara would make that choice. What surprised him was Clara's calmness in the face of death.He had seen many terminal patients in his career. Nearly all of them tried desperately to grasp at the possibility of survival once they found out that their days were numbered.Even those who couldn't afford treatment would ask if there was any other way to prolong their lives, reluctant to die.A patient as calm as Clara was very rare.Those patients had normally been through terrible things."Okay, I'll increase the dose a little. But remember, you can't take too much of this medicine. If you do, your body will become more and more resistant to it unti
Clara immediately ran out of the hospital, took a taxi and rushed to the restaurant.At the restaurant, Clara rushed to the private room Sandra mentioned. When she pushed the door open, she saw Sandra's parents, Sandra and Yanny inside.Apart from them, there were also a few people who looked like the Coopers' henchmen inside. They were standing to the side, looking intimidating.There were some delicious snacks and toys on the table, but Yanny hadn't touched them. He simply sat there quietly.As soon as the boy saw Clara, his sullen face lit up. He quickly jumped down from the chair and ran over to Clara, shouting, "Mommy!"Clara hugged her son tightly. She was glad to see that he was unhurt. "It's okay, Mommy's here! Let's go home.""But they said they brought me here to see Daddy!" Yanny said softly.He only followed them here because he wanted to see Daddy.After he went to the amusement park with Daddy, he fell asleep in the car and didn't get to say goodbye to Daddy, whic
"Clara, that's nonsense," Sandra said while leisurely sipping her tea, "Don't you blush when you lie in front of a child? You were jealous of me and Wilson, so you pushed me down the stairs, trying to kill me and my baby. Fortunately, I managed to survive, but my baby..."Sandra deliberately looked at Yanny and said, "If my baby were alive, my baby would be about the same age as your son.""Sandra, shut up!" Clara said. She knew that Sandra was intentionally saying this so that Yanny would hear it. Clara didn't think it's right to drag a child into the grudges between them adults."You're just getting emotional because of the guilt," Sandra laughed. She then stood up and walked over to Yanny."Do you know that, a few years ago, your mommy was jealous that your daddy liked me, so she hurt me and the little baby in my tummy? Think about it, your mommy killed a little child who was the same age as you!"Sandra smiled while saying those cruel words to the child!Yanny was more mature
Sandra's real goal was for Wilson to witness this scene. She wanted Wilson to accuse her once again!Why? Why did Sandra have to go this far? Clara already backed down again and again. She couldn't believe a human being could be this malicious.Even though Sandra would be marrying Wilson soon, she still wanted to frame Clara.But Wilson despised Clara, so what's the point?Was she afraid that Wilson might fall in love with Clara again? The thought made Clara laugh because it was so ridiculous. She removed the hearing aid from her son's ear. She didn't want Yanny to hear the conversation that was about to happen because it would be too cruel to him!This was a conflict between them adults. She didn't want to bury the seed of hatred in her son's heart. She didn't want her son to grow up in hatred.She wanted Yanny to live a happy life!Yanny was flabbergasted and looked up at Clara in confusion. He couldn't understand why his mother would suddenly take away his hearing aid."Sa
The empty feeling in his hand sent Wilson into a daze."Wilson..." Sandra's voice that was seemingly wrought with pain snapped him out of it.Wilson went over and knelt down next to Sandra. Sandra was in a mess. Her face had gone terribly pale and her lips were trembling."Wilson, I... I just wanted Yanny to meet my... parents, I want to be... a good mother. I... I didn't expect things to turn out this way, I..." Sandra strained to speak, portraying herself as a kind and innocent woman.Suddenly, Sandra's brows furrowed in pain. "It hurts... Wilson, my stomach hurts..."Wilson frowned and said, "Okay, stop talking. I'll take you to the hospital right away."When Wilson picked Sandra up, he noticed that the bottom of Sandra's skirt was stained with blood.The skirt was white, so the blood really stood out.Mrs. Cooper exclaimed in shock, "You're bleeding? Sandra, did Clara Wells injure you?"Clara was surprised too. Sandra merely fell down to the floor from a standing position.
