"If you trust me, then remove those guards. Let Eva alone protect me just like before. I don't want to have so many people following me around every time I go out." It made her feel like she was being monitored."I can't do that," he immediately refused."Why?" she asked."You need all those people protecting you right now," Jackson said, not ready to tell her about Walter's disappearance and Jenny's prison break yet.After all, it was all just his speculation. He did not know for sure if they're planning something yet. She would be undergoing cesarean delivery in a week's time, so he did not want to make her worry unnecessarily as it might affect her health.Serenity's heart sank. He said he trusted her, but... he actually didn't, did he?"Jack, is there really so little trust between us? What exactly do I have to do before you're willing to fully trust me?" she asked. She had raised her voice without realizing it.He stared into her eyes, as if he was trying to see through her
Her movements were so stiff that she felt like a robot, but she persevered.She stood on tiptoes and stared at the handsome face in front of her.They were standing so close together that she could see his eyelashes very clearly and see herself in his pitch-black pupils.Just a little closer, and she would kiss him!If she did that, he would believe her, right?He would believe that she had truly forgiven him and believe that she wouldn't leave him! She wished he knew how much she loved him! She didn't want to miss out on him!He was probably the man who loved her the most in the world. No other man would love her like he did.The truth behind the accident had indeed caused her a lot of pain, and she had indeed hated him for a brief period of time, but the secret must have tormented him greatly too.Now that she thought about it, he had asked her more than once if she would forgive him if he ever wronged her.Was he living in constant fear of her discovering the truth back t
After Jackson walked out of the room, his hands clenched into fists.She had no idea how nervous and hopeful he felt when she took the initiative to pull his arm, hug his neck, and kiss him.But... it ended in yet another disappointment.Although she tried to convince him with this method, her body couldn't lie. Her body was still rejecting him, which meant that she had not truly forgiven him yet.But at the very least, she was willing to lie to comfort him. He should feel happy about that.She and him... still had plenty of time together. After he eliminated the hidden threat, after the birth of their babies, he would have plenty of time to convince her to accept him again!While Jackson was giving instructions to the nurse and bodyguards outside the room, Connor rushed over and said, "Mr. Valor, we have a situation."Jackson's eyes flickered. He waved away the nurse, who immediately went into the room to take care of Serenity.Jackson asked Connor, "What's the matter?""We'v
Jackson narrowed his eyes at Walter. "You're telling me that you have no idea she escaped from prison?""I have no idea," Walter insisted."Fine. You told my men that you'd only talk to me? Well, I'm here now. What do you want to say to me?" Jackson asked."Master Zack said, if Serenity Lewis found out the truth after his death but didn't leave you, he wanted to make a bet with you.""A bet?" Jackson asked."Yes, a bet!" Walter said, "Master Zack wanted to see if you would really sacrifice your life for a woman, like your father did."Jackson's expression darkened, "What do you mean by that?" The old man had already passed away. How could he make a bet with Jackson?A tiny smile twitched at the corner of Walter's mouth, but he kept quiet. On his bruised and battered face, the smile looked scary."I asked you what you mean by that!" Jackson growled, his indifferent and cold eyes turning sharp."You'll know when the time comes," Walter said, "Master Zack wanted you to learn from
The person on the other end of the phone was so nervous that he stammered, "We... We went to Madam's room and found Eva and the nurse unconscious. Madam was nowhere to be seen. There's no surveillance camera in the bedroom, but the footage from the surveillance camera outside the bedroom shows that Madam has never left the room. Also, the room... smells of chloroform!""Look for her! I don't care if you turn the entire mansion upside down, you must find her!" Jackson said, then threw the phone back to Connor. He glared at Walter with eyes filled with killing intent. He then grabbed Walter's hair and pushed him against the wall."Where did you take Serenity?! If anything happens to her, I'll kill you!" As he said that, he slammed Walter's head into the wall hard.Walter laughed and said, "I won't tell you even if you kill me! You'll know when the time comes!""Spill it!" Jackson furiously slammed Walter's head into the wall repeatedly. All he could think of right now was Serenity.
Jackson gritted his teeth.He was trained by his grandfather, so his grandfather naturally understood his personality very well. The old man knew that Jackson was suspicious by nature and would feel uneasy in all matters concerning Serenity, so he asked Walter to disappear for a period of time, then reveal himself.He knew that Jackson definitely had to see Walter with his own eyes and interrogate him personally or he would not rest easy!Even in death, the old man still wanted to manipulate him.What kind of bet did Grandpa want to make with him?He must not let anything happen to Serenity!When Serenity came to, she was sitting in a car. One of her hands was firmly tied to the steering wheel while the other was tied to the handbrake.The car was perched on top of a cliff. In fact, the back half of the car was hanging over the cliff. The situation looked extremely precarious. Any large movement or external force acting on the car might push it off the cliff.Below the cliff w
Serenity tried her best to calm down and told Jenny, "If you let me go now, I'll forget everything that happened and let bygones be bygones. I'll also ask Jack to let you off and help your family through this crisis."Serenity had to try to move Jenny with these conditions and make her hesitate in order to create a chance for herself to escape.But no matter what Serenity said, Jenny didn't seem to care. "All I want is to see if Jackson Valor would sacrifice himself for you. When my sister passed away, he didn't shed a single tear for her! Don't you want to know how far he would go for you?"When Jenny said that, hatred erupted in her eyes.She really hated Serenity! Why should she, the second daughter of the Hall family, be in this predicament because of a pleb like Serenity?!She once stole Zeke Shaw from Serenity. She thought that Zeke was madly in love with her, but Zeke actually abandoned her like he once abandoned Serenity!She's Jenny Hall, a goddess in the hearts of milli
With his lips, Walter gestured at a spot that was about 20 meters away from Serenity's car and said, "There's a device over there that can deactivate the bombs. Only your fingerprint can activate that device."As Walter spoke, the smile on his bruised and battered face widened.Jackson naturally wouldn't believe that things would be that simple!If they were that simple, Walter wouldn't have gone through all that trouble to set this whole thing up."Go on. Finish what you want to say. Don't test my patience. I don't have time to waste on you!" Jackson snapped.The more time he wasted, the more danger Serenity would be in! "The problem is, the moment you deactivate the bombs around the car, a bomb inside the device will be detonated. In other words, if you save Serenity Lewis, you will die!"Walter said that in a loud voice, obviously wanting Serenity to hear him.Serenity's heart sank and her body went cold.The price of her survival was Jackson's life.Why...? Why would tha
