Terry's face contorted with pain and struggle, jealousy consuming his mind as he thought of Lisa's future with Gale.Gale left Lisa's place with a big sigh of relief. He was glad to know Lisa had returned home safely upon contacting her earlier in the day, so he had hurried over to meet her. The storm was over, and Lisa could finally return to a normal life.A smile flashed across his face as he thought about what Lisa had privately told him earlier. "Gale, well… If you don't think it's a good idea for us to stay in touch, just let me know. It's okay." Gales thought Lisa was sometimes too honest for her own good. Lisa was already in her early thirties, but she was still as naive and innocent as a child. Maybe that was why he wanted to keep in touch with her after the blind date."Let's stay in touch, then. You're a victim of this scandal too.""So you believe me? That I didn't do anything with Terry in the hotel.""I do," Gale answered her. Yeah, he believed in her. Lisa would h
Gale never imagined that Terry would get jealous because of him."Mr. White, do you still have feelings for Lisa? If you do, you shouldn't be asking me this. You should talk to Lisa," Gale reminded him."Even if I want to be with Lisa, it'll only work out if she chooses me. Likewise, even if you still love her, you can't be with her unless she chooses you. The choice is hers.""I'm asking you if you're going to stay with her," Terry said, pursing his lips tightly.Gale sighed, knowing he could not leave until he gave Terry an answer. "Lisa is a good woman. If our feelings are mutual, I'd want to be with her, naturally.""Are you worthy of her? Do you love her enough to give up everything for her? Otherwise, don't even dream about it!" Terry warned."What? What if I don't love her enough to give up everything for her? Will you stop me from dating her?" Gale questioned.Terry said nothing, but the cold look on his face was already an answer."Can you give up everything for her? I
All of a sudden, Lisa's colleagues all sided with her, trying to flatter her. Some even began asking Lisa about her relationship with Terry."Hey, Lisa. Is Terry trying to get you back?""He was so handsome when he took you away from the press. He was like a prince who saved the princess!""Will Lisa soon become the CEO's wife?"Lisa knew the reason her colleagues had changed their attitudes toward her. It was all because of Terry. People could be very realistic. She had experienced so much prejudice and discrimination in the past five years that she no longer cared."I'm no longer related to Mr. White. Please don't speculate anything more. I'm dating someone else, and your comments will cause me trouble," Lisa stated, her voice cold.Her colleagues looked at each other, embarrassed at what Lisa had said. The crowd dispersed not long after, and Lisa finally regained some peace.Terry had not shown up when she went home yesterday. Terry's men had told her, "Mr. White says the mat
Just as Serenity was about to enter the building, something suddenly fell from above."Look out!" A cry of surprise rang from behind. Then, strong arms dragged Serenity to the side, knocking her to the ground. She felt a pair of hands shielding her as she fell to the ground."Madam! Madam!" Rapid footsteps followed as she heard the bodyguard and driver shouting frantically, bringing her back to her senses. "I'm fine," Serenity said, standing up in pain with the bodyguard's help. Then, she turned to the man who had just saved her. The man got up, dusting sand from his clothes."Are you alright, sir? Thank you for—" Serenity wanted to thank him for his help, but she paused midsentence, stunned as she saw the man look up. She recognized that man! Zeke Shaw! What was he doing here?Zeke was her ex-boyfriend and Jenny Hall's fiance, and he had been very popular among the Solaria elite class! Serenity did not expect to meet Zeke again, and he seemed completely different from what he wa
The security guard was stunned by Serenity's words and finally noticed the broken flower pot and the dirt on the ground.Realizing what had happened, the security guard quickly let go of Zeke's hand. Serenity told the bodyguard to take a look at Zeke's wrist.After a careful inspection, the bodyguard informed Serenity, "Madam, this man has a broken wrist."Serenity spoke upon hearing that, "Let's take him to the hospital.""Yes," the bodyguard responded.At the same time, Serenity's phone rang abruptly. She picked it up, but her face changed as soon as she heard the caller speak. "Yes, understood. Thanks."After ending the phone call, Serenity left the office building and went straight to the court. In the meantime, the bodyguard took Zeke to the hospital. When Serenity was leaving the court, the bodyguard called and informed her of Zeke's situation. The doctor had said that Zeke's injuries were not too serious and that he would recover within a month or so."Good. Give Zeke the
Jackson looked at Taylor's bloodied hands, his eyes dark. "Make sure her hands will never be able to break anything again. After that, hand her over to the police," Jackson ordered his men, his voice icy. "Yes," his subordinate responded.Taylor panicked at Jackson's order. Would she lose her hands? At this point, she would rather they just hand her over to the police."Please spare me. I won't do it again. I-I'll turn myself in…" But no matter how much she begged for mercy, it was futile.Jackson's face remained cold. This woman should be glad that Serenity was not hurt. Otherwise, she would have gotten a worse punishment and lost more than just her hands!Ignoring the woman's cry, Jackson left the scene, and Connor quickly followed. Connor handed Jackson a file as the two men entered the car parked outside. "Mr. Valor, this is Zeke's information for the past few years. He's working as a courier now. He happened to save Mrs. Valor's life today, but he broke his wrist, so Mrs
"Is that so?" Jackson murmured. "Let's hope she won't sympathize with Zeke."Feeling bad for Zeke, Connor hoped that Serenity had no sympathy for Zeke, or he could only wish Zeke a lot of luck. "Also, find out who's behind this. I want to know. Who's trying to hurt Serenity?" Jackson ordered, his voice icy. He knew the cleaner was just a pawn to hurt Serenity."Yes," Connor responded quickly."Also, find out more regarding the lawsuit against Serenity and her mentor. Contact Solaria's best attorney for a countersuit and look into Lark Jefferson. Maybe he's got someone behind him!"Serenity was formally Mrs. Valor, Jackson's wife. Anyone with common sense would never try to make enemies with the Valor family. Besides, he had read the case file and agreed with Serenity. Serenity was right. The evidence was indeed conclusive. There was no chance of a miscarriage of justice.Since the evidence was conclusive, why was Lark Jefferson doing this? He had suddenly made such a scene out
The maid brought out the dinner, and Jacksoon took the cutleries and gracefully ate his meal. Serenity sat beside Jackson, watching him as he ate. He had good table manners, taking small bits he could chew and swallow easily. She wanted to talk to Jackson after the meal, but Jackson brought up the incident first before she even spoke. "You almost got hit by a flower pot today. I'm glad you're fine. I'll have more people follow you around."Serenity realized that either the bodyguard or the driver had reported the incident to him. "Okay," she agreed to his proposal. "I was lucky. The flower pot didn't hit me. I had the bodyguard check on the incident, but I don't know the result yet.""A cleaner threw it down," Jackson said."A cleaner?" Serenity was startled by the result. "You had someone look into it as well?""I'm concerned about you. Of course, I'll have to check!" Jackson said. "I'm glad you were fine today," Jackson added with relief. He would go crazy if something terri
