In a certain prison in Solaria, Walter mechanically carried out his work in the room where the prisoners toiled. A slight smile adorned his lips.Master Jackson would soon realize that Serenity Lewis was unworthy of his love.Once Master Jackson became truly disappointed in Serenity Lewis, she would cease to be his weakness.Under the guidance of Master Jackson, the Valor family would undoubtedly grow stronger."Do you remember now, Master Jackson? Do you remember that Serenity Lewis chose to fall into the sea to escape from you?..." Walter murmured softly.Five years ago, when he wiped away Master Jackson's memory, he had also altered this particular recollection.He had instructed the hypnotist to repeatedly suggest to Master Jackson, while under hypnosis, that Serenity Lewis had chosen to fall into the sea to escape from him. If Master Jackson ever decided to undo the hypnosis and regain his memory, this suggestion would naturally be activated.When that happened, Master Jack
"Connor?" Jackson raised an eyebrow. "He told you that? That's different from what he told me. But regardless, I only trust what I remember.""But what you remember is a false memory!" Serenity quickly protested."Then explain to me, if what you say is true, why did neither you nor Connor tell me this before?" Jackson questioned, staring intently at Serenity."We were afraid that your mind might not be able to handle the shock if you recall the real reason I fell into the sea! Your memory was suppressed through hypnosis. No one knew what would happen if you forcefully tried to remember," Serenity explained.Jackson slowly approached Serenity. "So you’re saying that you love me so much that you're willing to die along with our three children to prevent me from dying, is that right?"Serenity pressed her lips together and nodded. His gaze was piercing, as if he was trying to see through her.His eyelashes trembled slightly, and his lips twitched. "I told you about the story of this
Over the next few days, Serenity stayed in the old mansion. Wherever Jackson went, she followed. At night, when Jackson went to bed, she would squeeze into his bed, saying that they were husband and wife, so naturally, they should sleep together.Even if he glared at her, she ignored him and kept sticking to him like glue.Perhaps human potential really was unlimited. Before this, she never imagined that she could be so thick-skinned.Serenity video-called her two children whenever she could. She felt guilty for being away from them for so long.Micah handled her absence better, but Jackie had always been with her from the day she was born. In the past, Serenity would entrust Jackie to Edward and Mary whenever she had to go on a business trip, but she would only be away for a day or two at most.This time, it had already been four days. Jackie kept asking her when she would be back during their video calls. She was obviously anxious."Mommy will be back soon, and Daddy will come
"No, I wouldn't dare!" Connor said, "I hope Mr. Valor won't misunderstand Mrs. Valor after knowing the truth. Her feelings for you are true. Maybe what she did this time was just because of an impulse."Jackson snorted in response. "Her feelings for me are true? Am I really the most important to her? If she's willing to give up her life for me, then why would she betray me for that woman? My mother abandoned her husband and son."Connor kept his mouth shut, knowing his words would only anger Mr. Valor further!Right when Jackson was almost done with his work, a quiet knock sounded at the door. Connor breathed a sigh of relief as someone opened the door, figuring it was Serenity.Serenity came in and sat on the sofa in the corner. She stayed silent, like she did for the past few days, just watching Jackson. Jackson gave Serenity a quick glance as she came in, his mind suddenly calmed by her presence. After giving Connor a few more orders, Jackson finally dismissed him. "That's
About half an hour later, the security guard at the Valor Mansion reported to Jackson. "Mr. Valor, Mrs. Valor is now leaving.""Have the driver take her back to the Valor Residence," Jackson responded, and something flickered in his eyes. "Yes," the guard answered.'Was she finally going to leave?' Jackson thought, but what happened next surprised him. Upon returning, the driver responsible for driving Serenity to her destination reported to Jackson."Mrs. Valor didn't go back to the Valor Residence. She's staying at the hotel tonight." The driver informed him of the name and address of the hotel as well as the room number that Serenity had last checked in. 'She's at the hotel?' Jackson thought, frowning slightly, but it did not matter to him. She could go home to the Valor Residence or stay in a hotel as she pleased.Jackson slept in the bed at night, but his bed suddenly felt empty. He had slept alone before she came here and had never felt anything like this. Or maybe he h
"Did she tell you who she met?" Serenity asked, furrowing her brows. Lisa's behavior seemed abnormal."No." Hersha said, "Do you think Lisa will be okay? She was recently discharged from the hospital and is still not feeling well.""Don't worry. I'll see what I can do and try to get in touch with Lisa. Call you back later," Serenity said, ending the call with Hersha. After the call disconnected, Serenity gave it a thought and made a phone call. She got someone to obtain the surveillance footage from the maternity hospital to find out which friend Lisa had left with.Although Jackson was upset with her, he did not remove the men assigned to help her, so Serenity could use her status as Mrs. Valor to get these men to work for her.Serenity considered calling the police, but the police would reject the case unless an adult had been missing for more than twenty-four hours. Besides, Lisa had called Hersha to explain why she was gone.The men Jackson previously assigned to Serenity we
"Trust me, Jackson. You'll never meet someone else who loves you more than I do!""Enough!" Jackson snapped, putting the video conference to an abrupt halt. Several minutes passed in silence, and no one in the meeting dared to say another word.The senior executive who was presenting turned extremely pale, fearing that something was wrong with his report.Connor's voice came to Jackson's ear like a whisper. "Mr. Valor? Are you..." Jackson opened his eyes and snapped to his senses, realizing he had just lost his temper. "That's all for today. Dismissed," Jackson bellowed out the order. Then, he turned off the video conference screen and left the study.Wanting to stop her last words from ringing in her ears, Jackson went outside to get some fresh air. He tried to erase the despair aching in him, but her voice echoed everywhere as soon as he stepped outside."Jack—!""You'll never meet someone else who loves you more than I do!""You'll never…"Jackson slammed himself against
Jackson should have known, but he was careless and let his guard down. Monica did it to Lisa once, which meant she would probably do it again. Knowing how much Serenity cared about Lisa, this was prone to happen again. But Jackson got too angry the last time because Serenity had helped Mary and Edward escape Solaria right after Monica hurt Lisa. Rage overtook him, so much that he forgot all about the threat Monica posed to Serenity.Serenity! Jackson's breathing quickened, his face darkening with fury. He could not allow anything to happen to her. If she were to get hurt again…! He thought he could learn to love her less, but nothing else mattered more than her safety.- Serenity finally met Lisa, as she wished, only to realize why her best friend had willingly gotten into the car. Monica had threatened Lisa with Hersha and told her, "If you don't come with me, I can't guarantee what will happen to your mother in the restroom. If you try to resist or shout to attract attention, I
