Jenny did think that she was superior to them, but with a crowd around her, how could she say that out loud?Some of the onlookers were even recording with their phone. Jenny was furious, but she had to maintain her composure.Not long after, a lot of people came from the Sanitation Office too. They joined in on the search for the ring together with the people brought by the police.And so, on that cold day, Jenny and Kristin stood next to piles of garbage and had to endure their stench the whole time while they were questioned by the police and surrounded by a crowd.The ring could not be found, of course. When the police finally let Jenny and Kristin leave, they were close to fainting from the stench."Jenny, what should we do? This is a big deal now. It's classified as a criminal case," Kristin said uneasily back in the car. "Who the hell called the cops anyway?""I'll have someone go talk to the police so that the case will be forgotten," Jenny said with a gloomy face.She w
Jackson Valor embraced Serenity, lowered his head, and gently pressed his face to her neck. He naturally knew what she meant when she said she smelled.Jenny played a malicious prank on Serenity today and made her rummage through the garbage for a long time. But... "Sis, no matter how much you smell, you don't have to avoid me.""But..." She was a little embarrassed. She was not sure if it was because of her smell or because of the hug."We said that we'll be relying on each other. Why would you avoid me? Would you avoid me if I smell bad one day?” he asked.Serenity remained silent for a moment before she took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I understand. I won't do that again."A smile appeared on his face. He grabbed her hand and led her back to the small rental house.He had prepared a meal for her. Although the food had already gone cold, Serenity enjoyed it very much."What happened today?" Jackson asked.Serenity hesitated for a second but ultimately decided to tell him t
What kind of pain did one have to go through before one could talk about these things so casually?"I won't forgive anyone who hurts you from now on," he said, as if he was swearing an oath.She rubbed his black hair and said, "Alright, enough about that. Let's eat." She lowered her head and continued eating.His eyes flickered as if he was thinking about something.The incident indeed caused quite a stir. However, Jenny could not believe that her company failed to suppress the news from trending.The internet was now filled with the news of her losing her ring and the sanitation workers having to help her rummage through trash to find it.The accompanying photos showed her standing next to garbage piles in glamorous clothes with several sanitation workers nearby bending down to look in the garbage.Such a huge contrast made many people upset. They accused her of having character issues and being snobbish.Some netizens commented, "She lost the ring, but the sanitation workers
Many of her fans even expressed their disappointment in her and claimed they would not be her fans anymore.Some of Jenny's more loyal fans expressed their disbelief. They wondered if there was a mistake somewhere.Another person who was in disbelief was Jenny herself. The police actually issued an investigation report, and she only found out about it the same time everyone else did!Jenny shivered. How could this happen?Could her public persona and the career she had worked so hard for be destroyed just like that?But the worst was yet to come. Jackson Valor's personal secretary, Connor Gunn, informed the Hall family and the Shaw family that Jackson Valor would not attend their engagement party.The public naturally thought it was related to Jenny's recent negative press.Serenity was a bit surprised when she saw the police investigation report. She did not expect it to come out so quickly. She was also surprised that the Halls and the Shaws did not suppress the news. In fact,
"Dad, you miss Mira too, don't you?" asked Jenny. "When I saw Serenity Lewis that day, she did not look remorseful about Mira's death at all.""Enough. Stop speaking of that woman," said Quinton.The sound of footsteps made them turn around. They saw Jackson Valor walking down the stairs."You want to see me?" Jackson asked indifferently as he eyed the two people in front of him.When Jackson's icy gaze swept past her, Jenny felt her body stiffen. This was the man her sister was madly in love with back in the days!Jenny still remembered her sister Mira once telling her with a dreamy face, "Jenny, I once thought that I'd never be able to make a man like Jackson Valor mine. He's too cold, too rational. Even if you hold him, you can't feel his warmth. He's like a delicate and beautiful porcelain; you can see his surface, but never his inside."Jenny felt the same way about Jackson Valor. Every time she saw him, she felt that she could never tell what’s on his mind.Therefore, even
He paused as his eyes swept across the two dumbfounded people. "If they leave before that, they're not allowed to step foot in this residence ever again."The father and daughter flinched.Jackson's words undoubtedly meant that, if they left without finding the ring, the Valor family would sever all ties with them.After Jackson left, Quinton and Jenny looked at each other.The pond was not that deep, but its bottom was filled with mud. It was not that big either, but it was still about 100 square feet in size. Finding a small ring in that pond was not an easy task.Jenny felt like crying. "Daddy, what should we do? Do I really have to go down there to find the ring? It's so cold out there! How can I find the ring by myself?!""You made this mess, so you must clean it up. You know what will happen to the Hall family if the Valor family sever ties with us!" Quinton said with a serious expression.The future of the Hall family was at stake. He could not indulge his daughter anymor
She gently combed his fringe and trimmed the fringe little by little with a pair of scissors. She looked very focused. All her concentration was on the fringe. She did not even notice the pair of beautiful eyes under the fringe watching her.Jackson stared at her. Her face was slightly red due to the cold weather. He looked at her pretty eyes, her small nose, her pink lips, and her beautiful face. The more he looked at her, the harder he found it to look away. Under the light, her body seemed to emanate a warm aura."Okay, it's done." After a while, he suddenly heard her say."It's done?" he asked. All the time he spent with her seemed to pass by very quickly."Mm-hmm." She smiled and took two steps back to scrutinize him. "It's not bad. My skills are pretty good. We saved a few dollars."She chuckled, then took a dry towel and helped him dust off some of the fine strands of hair that had fallen onto his face, neck and clothes."All right, go take a shower," said Serenity.Jacks
She also could not understand why Mira Hall's car would come crashing towards hers.She also could not understand why all the witnesses said she was in the wrong.She was fighting against the world. All the evidence and witnesses back then pointed to her being the perpetrator.After all, Mira Hall was going to marry Jackson Valor soon. She had no reason to crash her car into Serenity's to kill herself."Are you trying to overturn the case?" Jackson asked.Serenity smiled self-deprecatingly. "I'm just a little unsatisfied, that's all. It's not that easy to overturn a case. Besides, I've already been released from prison. All right, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll help you blow your hair dry.”She put the documents away, grabbed the hair dryer, and helped him blow his wet hair dry.A darkness gradually crept into Jackson's eyes...The next day, Connor found that his boss' hair... seemed to have been trimmed, but he did not remember scheduling an appointment with a hair st
