All of this was in Master Zack's script, but maybe the only thing surprising was that Serenity readily sacrificed her own life for Jackson's sake.Although Master Zack never thought it was possible, he still arranged a way for Serenity to live. Precisely because he thought it was impossible, he only made a plan to let Serenity survive but did not arrange the next steps. 'Seems like I'll have to decide!' Walter thought to himself, wondering whether he was doing the right thing.Master Zack wanted the head of the Valor family with no weaknesses, and Serenity was Mr. Valor's greatest weakness.Unfortunately, Master Zack had ultimately lost the bet to Mr. Valor and Serenity. If Master was still alive and had witnessed this, would he change his mind?Would Master Zack approve of what he had done? Walter glanced down at the unconscious Jackson, a different kind of emotion stirring in his heart."Mr. Valor, if Serenity does love you deeply, she'll return to your life one day." Walter
Jackson was smiling and crying, mourning in pain and sorrow. Lucas could not say anything after seeing Jackson in such a state. When he tried to speak, the words just got stuck in his throat.Not long after that, Lucas left Solaria with the task of growing the Gomez Group's overseas businesses. It was not a task that required him to do it himself, but he did not want to stay in Solaria anymore. The memories he had in Solaria made him feel suffocated and miserable.Lucas constantly thought about his regrets. If he had not ignored Serenity out of jealousy, which pushed her to Jackson for help, maybe none of this would have happened. He was partially the reason Serenity had gotten back with Jackson.Lucas thought maybe he should have been reckless for once. Take Serenity away at all costs, even if it might be against her will, even if she still loved Jackson. Serenity might hate him, but at least she would still be alive.Lucas was still lost in his thoughts when a familiar figure wal
Caleb continued, "But try not to mention her name again. Jackson doesn't seem to care anymore, but he doesn't like it brought up either.""How can he get over her?!" Lucas was still in disbelief.Caleb shrugged. "Why wouldn't he? She's just another woman. A man like Jackson has no shortage of women who like him. But it's not often to find a woman who can give birth to a son like his."The thought of the little boy from the Valor family made Caleb tremble. The five-year-old boy was too smart with an abnormally high IQ, and only Jackson could keep that kid in line. Caleb felt defeated thinking about his frustrating experience with the little kid. Fortunately, Micah was not his son, as the boy would have overpowered him.Lucas's face darkened. Just a woman?! But Jackson had almost gone crazy because of a woman like her. Could he really let go of his feelings for her? Lucas thought, finishing his drink in a gulp. Then, he strode to Jackson."Hey, Lucas!" Caleb grunted. What was Luca
"Jackson..." Lucas tried to say something, but Caleb quickly rushed over and stopped him."Jackson, Lucas is drunk and talking nonsense. Don't mind him," Caleb told Jackson and tried to drag Lucas out of trouble.Lucas refused to leave. Not just yet. He told Caleb, "Let go. I have to talk to him. There's something I need to know.""Hey! It's rare for you to be back. Why worry about this? Why not let me take you to some new exciting places in Solaria instead?" Caleb quickly suggested.Jackson suddenly spoke. "Caleb, just let him go. Since he insists, let him ask me."'Oh, dear God! Please don't get into a fight here!' Caleb sighed in his heart and had no choice but to let go of Lucas.Lucas stared at Jackson, who had a constant half-smile on his face. Somehow, he felt that something was strange about him. Perhaps five years was enough to make someone feel like a stranger again. Lucas feared meeting Jackson and had been deliberately avoiding meeting Jackson. Somehow, meeting Jackso
Micah was the only exception. Mr. Valor did not care about anyone around him, probably except for Micah. Although they got along, Mr. Valor and Micah treated each other coldly. Connor could not help but sigh as he thought about Mr. Valor and Micah's interaction. He wondered how it would be if Serenity had survived. If Mr. Valor had not forgotten his love for Serenity, Mr. Valor would have doted on Micah and treasured him. Maybe he would love his son as much as an ordinary father would do instead of being this cold with Micah.Unfortunately, there had to be some kind of trade-off. Mr. Valor could live on because he had forgotten his love for Serenity. And he got to watch Micah grow up!"Well, Mr. Valor, you really loved Mrs. Valor… You did in the past," Connor answered."I loved her?" Jackson snorted. Whenever people around him had told him about his relationship with Serenity, he listened to it like a story. Jackson felt like an outsider, even though it was his story. It was like
Gwen secretly made up her mind thinking of this. She was determined to take her chances at all costs! Blessed with a beautiful look and good figure, Gwen had always been attractive and was popular with young and rich men. Gwen had always dreamed of marrying into wealth. She got pregnant out of wedlock and wanted to use the child in her belly to marry her rich ex. Unfortunately for her, the child's father did not give her the slightest opportunity. In the end, she gritted her teeth and gave birth to her daughter anyway, but the child's father ignored her, saying that the child was none of his business."Mr. Valor, you're back! Anna kept saying she missed you today, so I brought her over," Gwen chirped, a charming smile spreading across her face.Anna walked over and seemed to want to hug Jackson, but she became timid and stopped a few steps away. "Daddy! Anna misses you so much," Anna said nervously, looking at Jackson's cold gaze.Jackson's cold gaze swept over the mother and daug
"You may leave," Jackson ordered.The home tutor then left the room, leaving the father and son in the room.Jackson looked at the complicated jigsaw puzzle his son was putting together. It was a 1000-piece puzzle and was a perfect size for grown-up puzzlers. An adult would take some time to finish such a puzzle, but Micah worked quickly, putting the pieces together.Jackson sat next to Micah and looked at the puzzle his son was working on. There were two boys and a girl on the puzzle. Three children… The triplets. Was his son thinking of his brother and sister?Five years ago, when Jackson had woken up in the hospital, Connor had told him that he had a wife named Serenity, and she was pregnant with triplets. Unfortunately, only one of the children survived after his wife had crashed into the ocean. When his son had gotten a little older, he had somehow found out about the triplets and insisted that he should have a brother and a sister.Jackson used to find it strange. He asked
Jackson narrowed his eyes. Had his son heard about the rumors? It seemed that someone was really up to no good. "I won't," Jackson replied with absolute certainty."Oh," Micah responded. He said nothing more, and the conversation between the father and son ended right there.The maid soon came into the room and helped the little one to get ready for bed. Meanwhile, Jackson returned to the study. After contemplating for a moment, he slowly opened the drawer.There was a marriage certificate inside the drawer, but the marriage was validly terminated with the death of the spouse.Jackson found a photo of the woman. She seemed like a quiet and gentle person and had a pretty face with a soothing smile. Jackson found her face pleasant, but she was not too much of a stunning beauty. After all, he had seen too many beautiful women in his life.Jackson pondered. Was he once in love with this woman? He even married her and had children with her?Based on how things were usually done in t
