The woman who had violently shoved her daughter was indeed Gwen Scott, and the girl who was holding the other half of the torn photo of Jackson was Anna Scott, the girl who had been adopted by the Valor family. Serenity recognized them instantly because she had seen pictures of them online.But before Serenity even had a chance to say anything, Gwen snorted haughtily and berated, "Daddy? What kind of a lousy mother are you? Have you ever educated your daughter? How could you let her call anyone she liked her daddy?! She doesn't even have the right to think about it! Hurry up and tell her to apologize to my daughter. She had the gall to hurt my little girl! Do you have any idea who my daughter is?!"Gwen spoke in a very arrogant tone. If her daughter had not seen this restaurant on television and begged her to take her here, she would never have taken a step inside such a place. Based on their current status, a humdrum eatery like this was simply beneath her and her daughter. To her
This woman… She was closely connected to Jackson Valor! She was all over the gossip sites online, and they reported that she had just recently launched a chain of beauty salons and as a result, was on good terms with the rich ladies of Solaria. Such a woman must not get into trouble in their restaurant! Otherwise, they might have to close up shop in a matter of days!"Ms. Scott," said the manager, rushing up to Gwen's side, "are you alright?""Why did you even let people like them into this restaurant?!" she erupted. "If anything happens to my daughter here, you can just wait and see how Mr. Valor is going to make you pay for it!"The manager then apologized to Gwen profusely and repeatedly.Just then, Jacqueline looked up at her mother and godmother before asking them in an innocent voice, "Mommy, why did you and Aunt Lisa get into a fight? Didn't you tell me it's bad to get into fights?"She had expected to get scolded by her mother for getting into a fight earlier, yet surpri
Since the restaurant was still open, the police took Gwen and Anna, along with Serenity, Lisa, and Jacqueline, to the police station with the police cars soon after they arrived, and Gwen was taken aback when she heard Serenity tell the police her name while inside the police car.Serenity Lewis? Was this woman's name really Serenity Lewis?!Was that not the name of Jackson Valor's dead wife?!Still, it did not cross Gwen's mind to make a connection between the woman in front of her and Jackson's dead wife, because everyone in Solaria knew that Jackson's wife had passed away five years ago. Therefore, all she thought was how laughably pathetic this woman was. Did she really think that she would catch Jackson Valor's eye just because her name was Serenity Lewis? And she even had the gall to let her daughter call him daddy!Calling him daddy was not something that just anyone was worthy enough to do! And Gwen was sure that soon, apart from the Jackson's son, Micah Valor, her daught
Although she had lost all her memories these past five years, she still retained all her skills and knowledge, so although she had no idea that she used to be a lawyer, she chose that path once again and took a bar exam, after which she passed on her first try."You're right, it's been… a while."Mr. Lambert suddenly seemed to realize something, and his expression changed. Could it be that the person Gwen Scott was trying to sue was… Ms. Lewis the lawyer? If that was the case, he feared that his reputation as a lawyer might be in danger, because Ms. Lewis's mentor was one of the most preeminent and respected lawyers in the legal profession circle!Not only that, Ms. Lewis's mentor was famous for having one of the longest winning streaks in lawsuits and was practically undefeatable in court–and Ms. Lewis was his favorite disciple! In fact, that great lawyer had even publicly announced that she would be his last disciple!Thinking of this, Mr. Lambert started to get anxious, and he b
This face… It looked almost identical to the face of that woman on his marriage certificate.And what did the girl just call him? Daddy?!For a moment, the father and daughter stared at each other silently. But Jackson was not the only one who was floored. Connor, who was standing beside him, stared blankly at the girl who was hugging his boss tightly. Good gracious! She looked… exactly like a mini-sized Serenity Lewis! And yet, the longer he looked at her, the more he could make out a likeness of Mr. Valor in her face.Could it be that this girl was…Just then, Jacqueline knitted her delicate little eyebrows, turned to Serenity, and grumbled, "Didn't you tell me Daddy would like me very much, Mommy? Why isn't he picking me up? Didn't you say Daddy loved you so much he cried for you till snot came out of his nose?"At that moment, the girl was seriously doubting if what her mommy said was true.The crowd was flabbergasted when they heard what Jacqueline had said, but Serenity m
But before her hand had barely even touched him, he had warned her in a cold voice, "I don't like anyone touching me. If you have the gall to do it, you'll find that you won't be able to use the hand that you touched me with anymore the next day."He spoke very calmly and nonchalantly, but there was an unmistakable ruthlessness in those words that almost made her blood curdle. He did not even bother looking at her as his eyes were concentrating on the documents in his hands. It was as if she was not worthy of even a glance.Naturally, she dared not risk her hand to touch him anymore. After all, she did not doubt that a man like Jackson Valor would certainly do as he said.Such a man was just too haughty and cold. It seemed that no one could ever possibly get close to him. Yet now, not only was someone able to get near him, but she was even… boldly putting her hand on his face just like that!Gwen was filled with jealousy and utter shock, yet at the same time, she was viciously anti
Was that… his voice?! Did he really say those things to this woman before?The next moment, tears streamed down his face without him knowing it.Serenity was startled. She never thought that he would cry when they met again. In haste, she reached out and wiped away his tears, telling him, "Don't cry, Jack! Don't cry!"But the more she tried wiping his tears away with her fingertips, the more his tears flowed out of his eyes. The people around them had been shocked before, but now, this scene that was unfolding before them hit them like a lightning bolt. Did Mr. Valor just… cry?! Did he really just shed his tears?! Good Lord! No one in Solaria had ever seen this man cry before, yet they had just… They had just witnessed it with their own eyes! They feared that even if they told anyone about what they had seen today, people would just think that they were blatantly lying!Even Jackson himself never thought that he would be crying, much less that his tears would flow so uncontroll
Connor was all choked up as he spoke, but he continued, "I'm Uncle Connor, your daddy's subordinate. Tell me, what is your name?""My name is Jackie Lewis," the girl replied in her angelic voice, "but Mommy says I'll soon change my name to Jacqueline Valor."Jacqueline Valor? Jackie… Jack… Did her name have something to do with Mr. Valor? Was this child named after him?The only unfortunate thing was that although Serenity was back, Mr. Valor… had completely forgotten all his memories about her. In fact, they had even told him that Serenity's death was…Thinking of this, Connor's heart felt heavy. Would Mr. Valor… remember everything after he saw Serenity? Would all his suffering finally be rewarded?! Connor had seen Serenity and Jackson's relationship bloom right from the very beginning. He knew more than anyone else what they had been through, and it was precisely because he knew this that he understood how hard it was for Mr. Valor and Serenity to be together.Meanwhile, Gwen w
