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
Serenity finally understood why one of her hands was tied to the handbrake and the other one was tied to the steering wheel.One would live and the other would die. No matter what choice she made, there was no happy ending!No one knew how many bombs were planted around her car.There was no time to investigate. Not to mention, if someone accidentally touched a bomb and set it off, it would lead to the worst possible outcome!Was there really not a glimmer of hope left? Serenity racked her brain, trying to think of a solution.Jenny had also heard Walter's words through the video call. She laughed and told Serenity, "Well, well, isn't that interesting? What do you think Jackson will do, Serenity? Of course he'll treat you as a dispensable object and let you die!"Serenity didn't even hear Jenny. All her attention was on Jackson.Jackson was also looking at Serenity. Determination slowly crept into his eyes.Serenity instantly knew what he wanted to do. She screamed, "Don't, Jac
But Master Zack would lose that bet for sure! Mr. Valor would definitely put his life on the line for Serenity!When Jackson reached the device, he saw the countdown. There were only 8 minutes left."Jack, don't! Let's think of another way! Your grandfather definitely wouldn't gamble with your life!" Serenity said, "The Valor family had always been the most important thing to him! If you die, the Valor family is finished! Master Zack definitely wouldn't let that happen!""Don't be scared, Serenity! I'll definitely save you!" Jackson said and pressed the green button.He instantly heard Master Zack's voice."Jackson, my... *cough*... grandson, so you have decided to sacrifice your life to save Serenity Lewis. But, trust me, in the end, you'll realize that that woman isn't worth saving! Activating the device requires your thumbprint. You have to press your thumb to the device and keep it pressed until the bombs are disarmed. The moment the bombs are disarmed, the device will explode
Tears welled up in Serenity's eyes. She forgave him! She had already forgiven him!The moment Jackson pressed his thumb to the device, a timer in the car started counting down.Serenity knew that this was the countdown to the explosion. There were only 2 minutes left.She only had 2 minutes left with Jack?Jack could still walk away in these 2 minutes! Jack could leave!Serenity took a deep breath, then shouted, "Connor, tell your men to pull Jack away!"Connor was stunned. If he pulled Mr. Valor away... the bombs near the car would immediately explode!"Whoever pulls me away, I'll kill your entire family! I swear I'll do it! Try it if you dare!" Jackson said coldly.After he said that, no one dared to move. Connor felt really conflicted!"Connor, go away. You don't have to stay here with me," Jackson said, his gaze returning to Serenity, "Serenity, I'm doing this willingly. I want to do it."He wanted to do it? But... she didn't want him to die no matter what!With a jolt,
She wished that he didn't love her as much so that he wouldn't be so sad.She wished she could grow old with him. She wished she could see the birth of her three children. But sadly, that day would never come.She told him that she would never leave him. She told him that she wouldn't abandon him if he didn't abandon her first.But today, she broke her promise.The moment she released the handbrake, she recalled something Master Zack had once said to her. The old man said he wanted to make a bet with her to see how much she loved Jack.Therefore, this scheme wasn't just a bet between Master Zack and Jack, but also between Master Zack and her.Did Master Zack want to see if she would sacrifice her life for Jack?That was why one of her hands was tied to the handbrake. He wanted to see what choice she would make.The last thing Serenity heard was Jackson's scream. After that, she felt an abrupt, intense pain and the suffocating feeling of seawater rushing into her nose and mouth.
