"I... I'm fine. Am I interrupting? I can wait outside while you finish your discussion," Serenity said, intending to leave.But Jackson quickly grabbed her and said, "No, it's okay, we're done here." He then signaled to Connor to leave.Connor immediately said, "That's right, Mrs. Valor, we're done here. You can stay. I'll take my leave."After saying that, Connor immediately left the office and closed the door behind him.Connor couldn't help but sigh. Who would have expected that Jackson Valor, who used to be emotionally distant and seemed unreachable, would be in love with a woman so deeply?Jackson had changed a lot, and it was all thanks to Serenity.Connor much preferred the current Jackson. Despite having vulnerabilities, he had also become more considerate.Sometimes, having vulnerabilities wasn't necessarily a bad thing. People with vulnerabilities were more human!In the office, Jackson asked Serenity, "What happened?""Let me hug you for a while," she said. She wrap
His beautiful eyes flickered with a mesmerizing radiance, captivating her. As his soft lips moved, a warm breath caressed her face, leaving her spellbound. His fingertips gently traced her eyes, exuding an irresistible charm, like a pebble creating ripples in her still heart."No, I wouldn't leave you," she whispered, her red lips parting to reveal her answer. How could she ever leave him when he loved her so much?Her words were like the sweetest melody to him. Unable to resist, he leaned in and kissed her lips. "Do you have any idea how much I love you, Serenity?" he asked."I do, Jack..." she answered.It was because of his profound love for her that she willingly let go of all the rights and wrongs of the past and chose to start a family with him. She wanted to spend the rest of her life with him...In the depths of a prison in Solaria, a flicker of surprise crossed Walter's eyes when he saw the person standing before him. Then, he chuckled softly. "I never expected you to vi
When you love someone too deeply, the one who suffers is yourself!From now on, he would lock away all his love for her. He would not disturb her anymore. He would let her live her life in peace like she wanted.Wilson slowly closed his eyes, emptying his mind.Meanwhile, Walter chuckled sinisterly in the prison. "I never thought I would see a person like him, willingly altering his own memories. Some people want to remember a relationship forever, while others desperately try to forget. Master Zack, why do people obsess over something as useless as love?!" However, the air remained silent, with no answer.These days, Serenity would come to the convenience store to keep Clara company whenever she had free time."Has Harvey Powell come to bother you again after the last time?" Serenity asked."Nope," Clara replied. "Serenity, you don't have to come here so often. I'm fine. I know you must be busy with work.""It's alright, I'm not that busy. The people at the law firm will loo
Serenity took Clara to the sink and put the burnt area under cool running water for at least 20 minutes. After that, she turned off the tap and carefully dried Clara's hands. "Do you have any ointments or creams for use on burns? You should put some on the burn. It'll help during the process and ease the pain." "Yes. I'll do it later," Clara said."I'll put it on for you," Serenity insisted. After asking Clara where the first aid kit was, she grabbed the burn cream and put it on Clara. Serenity was less worried after treating Clara's minor burn."Hey, I'm fine. It's getting late, and you should go home," Clara urged.Serenity looked at the clock. It was about time for her to pick up her two kids from school, so she should leave. "Okay. I'd better get going. Remember, keep your hand away from water for two hours.""Yeah, I know," Clara replied.When Serenity left, Clara stared at the back of her swollen hand, appearing dazed. Her nose crinkled at the waves of overwhelming emotion
Clara was not a blind fool. She would not forgive Queenie for what she had done, not after Queenie had conspired against her and attempted to harm the baby in her belly.Even so, Harvey did not leave and mentioned a name to Clara.Clara froze, her pupils dilating as she heard the name. She yanked the door open and glared at Harvey. "How do you know about Summer Hope? Queenie told you?"Harvey quickly explained, "Yes. She told me about Summer. She knows Summer's whereabouts. If you want to know more, go to the detention center and meet her!"Harvey did not know who Summer was, but judging by Clara's reaction and Queenie's confidence when she told him about this, she must be someone important.Queenie told Harvey, "Talk to her again. Tell her I know Summer Hope's whereabouts, and she'll definitely come to see me!""Who's Summer Hope?" Harvey got curious.Queenie sneered at him, telling him, "Harvey, I'm going to get myself out of here. Let's cooperate, and you'll clear your name f
Queenie could have enjoyed her good life without much change in her life. But by chance, she had met Clara and realized Clara was doing better than her. Jealousy struck, and she had changed her mind, which led her to her current state.Queenie had never thought of such an ending before. She was finally out of prison, but she had ended up getting imprisoned again!"I didn't come here to hear all that. Where is Summer now?" Clara cut to the chase."You care so much about Summer!" Queenie ridiculed. "Summer helped you in prison, but so did I! Why didn't you repay my kindness? Is this how you treat me? I had to get Harvey to meet you several times just to meet you!""Yes. You've helped me before, and I'm very grateful for that. But clearly, you're not asking for my gratitude. You became greedy and tried to harm me. Queenie, you're not the same as Summer," Clara said harshly."I just want to get what I deserve!" Queenie hissed. "I helped you in prison. Now that you're the wife of a wea
Although Clara left, Queenie still had a look of confidence on her face. Clara would surely get her out of this hellhole, and she was very sure of that!"Clara, you'd better not let me down!" Queenie muttered to herself.-Clara never thought Summer's life would be as miserable as Queenie described! Summer was abused and had gone crazy. Clara remembered Summer as a strong and self-reliant woman. Although Summer never told her why she went to prison, Summer took care of her in prison.When Clara went into labor, she had some labor complications. Summer was the one who managed to get a doctor to help her through it.Summer left her contact information before she got out of prison. "This is my number. It's only for you. Don't give anyone else this. If you face any difficulties after getting out of prison, contact me. I'll help you if I can.""Why help me?" Clara asked in doubt. After all, she could not repay Summer despite all the help she had given her."Probably because you look
Serenity gave it a thought. "Wilson and you were victims. Unless both of you produce a letter to the judge and the attorney fights the case on the basis that the perpetrator instigated Queenie to harm you both, maybe Queenie will get a suspended sentence instead and let her serve time on probation.""Suspended sentence?" Clara weighed her options. If Queenie could complete probation successfully, the judge might dismiss the case without placing her in custody. With this, would Queenie be willing to tell her Summer's whereabouts?"What's the matter with you, all of a sudden?" Serenity asked."You don't have to worry so much. Even if Queenie has a lawyer to defend her, it's unlikely for Queenie to get out without serving prison time. The Birch family has hired a very reputable lawyer this time. He has never lost a single case over the past ten years. The lawyer is brutal and will fight the lawsuit with all his might. Queenie will likely stay in prison for ten years."Clara's face san
