Unfortunately, his moment of carelessness in the past had utterly wrecked his relationship with Lisa. In fact, he had lost even the right to have a relationship with Lisa. Terry lowered his gaze and concealed the dullness in his gaze. “If a wedding’s what you want, it’s not impossible for me to arrange it. After the matter in Solaria is settled, we can discuss it with your family.” “Really?” Monica’s face lit up immediately as she did not expect Terry to concede so easily. “Since I’ve said it, do you think I’m joking?” asked Terry indifferently. His gaze was sharp as he looked at Monica. “However, you will agree not to lay a finger on Lisa again. If you dare to harm her in any way, I’ll make sure we meet our ends together!” Monica’s body stiffened up. The intensity in his eyes was frightening! Even though he had agreed to marry her, he was far from being in love with her. Monica, on the other hand, refused to believe this. She thought that it was only a matter of time before
Serenity had a fresh-looking face. Her makeup today was light with an emphasis on her eyes. Her hair was tied up with a few strands of hair flowing down gracefully, further accentuating her elegance.She didn't look out of place at all next to Jackson. In fact, her tranquility seemed to blend seamlessly with Jackson's beauty, making the two of them look pleasing to the eye when standing together.Some of the men looked at Serenity with admiring eyes, which made Jackson frown slightly.Today, she was very beautiful. Her beauty was not simply due to her clothing or jewelry, but more so due to her inherent temperament and tranquility. At first glance, she might not be stunning, but the more you looked at her, the more pleasing she was to the eye. After a while... even standing next to her would make you feel good.Perhaps that was her unique charm, the kind of charm that made Jackson fall harder and harder for her!The looks those men gave Serenity made Jackson feel as if his jealo
Terry White!She didn't know Terry was attending the banquet too. The person standing next to him was Monica Hart. Monica was wearing the dress that Serenity had wanted to try on earlier.Terry had also seen Serenity. His expression changed slightly.Noticing that, Monica said with a chuckle, "Oh, you and Mrs. Valor are old acquaintances, aren't you? Why don't we go over and say hello?"Monica took Terry's arm and led him over to Serenity.Terry passively followed her lead."Hello, Mrs. Valor. I'm Monica Hart," Monica greeted Serenity with a smile."Hello," Serenity said, looking at her with a complicated expression. After all, if not for this woman, perhaps Terry and Lisa wouldn't have broken up.But... even without her, maybe there would have been another woman anyway.After all, compared to love, Terry desired absolute control over the White family more."Speaking of which, Mrs. Valor, I do feel like the three of us are connected by fate. If I remember correctly, Terry's e
As Sun Tzu said, know your enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles you will never be in peril.Several other female socialites had also come over together with Lindsey. Many of these women were also interested in Jackson. They had obviously come over to watch the drama. They were naturally happy to see Lindsey take the initiative to confront Serenity.When Serenity didn't answer, Lindsey became even more aggressive, "Why did you fake your death to leave Solaria and leave Mr. Valor five years ago, Mrs. Valor? Did something happen? I heard rumors that you left Mr. Valor for another man. I think you should clarify the rumors to defend your reputation."Lindsey was obviously implying that Serenity had cheated on Jackson.The few ladies closest to Lindsey had a smirk on their faces and curiosity in their eyes. After all, no one knew what Serenity had been up to in the past five years.Serenity looked at Lindsey flatly and scoffed. "Someone said that? Who, Miss Moon? I want to kno
Lindsey turned around in shock. It was… Jackson Valor! Lindsey instantly realized that she's in trouble."You're back!" Serenity greeted Jackson."Yeah," he replied and walked over, "Is someone giving you a hard time?""It's no big deal. But Miss Moon probably doesn't know that I'm a lawyer. Since she slandered me, I naturally have to pursue my legal rights. I'm afraid I have to sue her,” Serenity said with a smile.Jackson raised his eyebrows slightly. It appeared that his wife was tougher than he thought.He had planned to stand up for her if anyone tried to give her a hard time at the banquet.But she stood up for herself and embarrassed the person who gave her trouble back!Lindsey hurriedly defended herself, "Mr. Valor, it's all a misunderstanding, I...I didn't slander Mrs. Valor. I was just... worried that people might get the wrong idea about your wife, so I asked her what she had done in the last five years after she left Solaria.""Get the wrong idea about my wife?" Ja
Lindsey covered her face and looked at her father in disbelief, "Dad, I didn't say anything wrong, I...""Shut up! Who do you think you are? Why does she have to explain anything to you?!" Darius admonished her angrily. He was worried that his daughter would ruin the Moon family!Jackson's next words confirmed his biggest fear."Looks like the Moon family is getting a bit full of themselves. I'll have to ask my company to reconsider our cooperation," he said coldly.Darius froze, but Jackson no longer seemed interested in him and his daughter. He turned to Serenity and asked, "Are your feet feeling better?""Much better," she said."Then let's go grab a bite. You haven't had much to eat tonight.""Sure." Now that he mentioned it, Serenity did feel a little hungry.Jackson took Serenity's hand and led her to the dining area. Meanwhile, Darius slapped his daughter again and said furiously, "Look what you've done! You've ruined our family, you fool!"Lindsey's cheeks were red and
"By the way, when are you leaving? Didn't you say you have to handle a new project abroad?" Caleb asked."I'm not leaving," Lucas said. He knew that, even after five years, Serenity still didn't have feelings for him, but he couldn't bear to be away from her. He wanted to stay in Solaria. Even if he could only catch glimpses of her from afar like he did earlier, he would be happy.Caleb sighed. Needless to say, his friend's reluctance to leave was probably due to Serenity.But if this went on, when would Lucas be able to truly get over her? If he could never get over her, wouldn't that mean...Thinking of that, Caleb shivered! He wished what he feared would never happen!————After Serenity had a bite, she went to the balcony to get some fresh air. She saw Terry there, staring out at the moon in the sky.The moon was full tonight. It hung in the sky like a round lantern.Realizing that there was someone else at the balcony, Terry turned to look in Serenity's direction. He was
"Okay," Jackson said as he put his arm around Serenity. Before leaving, he glanced at Terry.Terry's face was filled with pain and despair!He may be alive, but he looked like an empty shell.Jackson's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and his steps faltered. Fragmented memories flooded his mind, but they flashed by so quickly that he couldn't even tell what they were."What's wrong, Jack?" Serenity turned to look at Jackson who had suddenly stopped walking."Nothing," he answered, his eyelashes fluttering. He took a deep breath and continued walking, leaving the banquet with her.Once they got in the car, Jackson leaned back in his seat, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes."Are you tired?" Serenity's soft voice came from beside him."A little.""Then take a nap. It'll take over half an hour to get home," Serenity said.Jackson tried to relax, but for some reason, his heart beat faster and faster. The look of despair on Terry's face kept replaying in his mind.He felt as i
