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.
But, in a way... Serenity Lewis had chosen the only option where she had a chance to live! However, that chance was slim.Walter recalled Master Zack's order before he died."If Serenity Lewis really does sacrifice her life to save Jack, then... let her live. But even then, she can't stay by Jack's side. The head of the Valor family can't have any weaknesses.""In that case, wouldn't it be better to let her die?"Master Zack didn't answer Walter's question.In the end, Master Zack gave Serenity a chance to live – provided she could survive after falling into the sea.Meanwhile, in a small house about two kilometers away from the incident, Jenny smashed her phone on the floor in disbelief. Her pretty face was twisted with jealousy!It's so unfair! How could Serenity Lewis meet such a man?! Jackson Valor was actually willing to die for her!Why? Why?When Mira was alive, Jackson treated her indifferently. After she died, Jackson didn't even grief!But he would go so far for Ser
"Save her and her three babies," Walter told the doctor."But... considering the condition she's in, I don't know if I can save them!" the doctor said hesitantly."You're the best surgeon in the black market. I've seen your resume. You've worked a few years in the gynecology and obstetrics department in a hospital. Surely a C-section isn't too difficult for you?" Walter said.He had always been meticulous, so had naturally investigated all these things beforehand."The surgery itself isn't difficult, but I can't guarantee that the woman or her babies will live," the doctor replied."If you can't save them, this clinic of yours will cease to exist by tomorrow," Walter said with a scary smile.The car was salvaged from the sea under the cliff, but there was no one inside the car.The police, as well as the Valor family, organized a large-scale search at that part of the sea, but found nothing.Serenity was nowhere to be found.They couldn't even find her corpse. When a person wen
All along, Connor had felt that Serenity was not good enough for Mr. Valor. Still, he admired her for sacrificing her life to save Mr. Valor.Loving someone was not hard, but how many people would sacrifice their lives for their loved ones?"Mrs. Valor loved you, Mr. Valor! She wanted you to live," Connor said.Jackson trembled, his voice hoarse from crying. "She loves me… Yeah, she loves me! She has always loved me, but why didn't I believe it before?!"Serenity said she was willing to forgive him, not for the sake of their children. Why did he not believe her then? He always thought she loved him too little and wanted more from her. In the end, she had given her life to show him how much she loved him!"Mr. Valor! Mrs. Valor wants you to live. She sacrificed her life because of her love for you. Don't let her down."Connor was afraid that Mr. Valor would be in so much despair that he would not be able to think straight. It was silent for a minute, and then a mocking voice rang
