There were already a lot of people gathered around Serenity, but because of his shout, even more were coming over.With a slight frown, Lucas led Serenity to a car that was parked nearby and drove away after they got into the car.The gathered crowd could only stare as the car drove off. They started to gossip about the relationship between Serenity and Lucas.In the car, Serenity told Lucas, "Thanks for that. You can just put me down somewhere nearby."However, Lucas did not stop the car. Instead, he asked, "What happened back there?""A stranger recognized me. After all, my successful appeal became a hot topic online because of Jenny's apology," Serenity said, "Can you stop the car here and let me out? My friend is still in the bookstore. I have to meet up with her!"Lucas pursed his lips lightly. Eventually, he stopped the car at the side of the road.When Serenity tried to get off the car, Lucas grabbed her arm and said, "We're only 300 meters away from the bookstore, so if
"What job do you want to do?" he asked her at the time. For him, everything came so easily. He never had to put in hard work to get anything he wanted.Some people were simply born with everything.Working was something that he had not even thought about.But this girl, who was a year or two younger than him, was already thinking about that kind of thing?"I don't know yet, but I want to do something that can bring justice to the world. I want a job that will let me protect not only myself, but also the people I love!" she said in her childish voice.Justice?He was born in a prestigious family, so he grew up knowing that there was no such thing as absolute justice. The so-called justice was sometimes just a lie.But her eyes were really serious, so he could not tell her that.After years had passed, when he finally found the little girl from back then, he found that Lynette Blossom was not doing anything that would bring justice to the world. She no longer had that righteous l
"I... I'm sorry!" she apologized in a hurry as the pain on her wrist and in her head subsided."Why did you touch me? Also, why did you call me by that name? Serenity, do you really have no feelings for me at all?" He stared at her intensely.Her pale face turned red. "I... It's a misunderstanding!""Misunderstanding?" He suddenly laughed. "Then tell me, what kind of misunderstanding would make you call me by my nickname again and again and make you touch my face?"She bit her lower lip and could find no answer. She could only say, "It's not what you think. I won't do it again. I had a headache just now, so I mistook you for someone else.""Mistook me for someone else?" He hissed, "You called me Luke!""You're not the only person in the world called Luke!" she retorted.She suddenly caught sight of Lisa nearby, so she told Lucas, "My friend is here. I'm getting off. Let me go."Lucas stared at Serenity with fiery eyes. The tension in the air was almost palpable.A moment later
Jackson stared at the photos displayed on his phone screen. They were photos of Lucas Gomez pulling Serenity into a car.The photos had just been posted online and had already become a sensation.Many people were speculating about the relationship between Serenity and Lucas.Connor looked timidly at his boss, who was staring gloomily at the phone in his hand. He mustered up the courage to say, "Err... Mr. Gomez appeared too suddenly. The bodyguards who were protecting Miss Lewis in secret didn't even have time to react..."Jackson's eyes remained on the phone. He gripped the phone harder with every passing second."Wipe these contents from the internet. I don't want to see them anymore." A moment later, Jackson coldly gave the order."Yes, Mr. Valor," Connor immediately answered. He left the CEO's office after that.In the quiet office, Jackson gently stroked the figure of Serenity on the phone screen. His finger eventually stopped at her wrist that was being held by Lucas.Luc
"Something happened when I was in the bookstore, and then I ran into Lucas Gomez," Serenity did not try to hide it from Jackson.After all, she did not want him to find out from someone else. It might cause misunderstanding.His eyes landed on her face, "What happened?""A guy kept filming me with his phone and wouldn't stop. A lot of people crowded around us. To help me, Lucas brought me to his car and drove me away. He put me down at a quiet spot a few hundred meters away from the bookstore, where I met up with Lisa."She told him the gist of the story."Jack, I don't want you to misunderstand. Lucas simply happened to be there today. It was a total coincidence," said Serenity.If there was anything different about her feelings towards Lucas, it was only because her strange dreams confused her.His eyelashes fluttered gently. He then reached out and pulled her into his embrace, "I’m not gonna misunderstand because I know that the man you love the most is me. Right?""Of cours
"I'm... your Jack. I belong only to you," he murmured and kissed her once again.To other people, he was the high and mighty Jackson Valor, but in front of her, he was just Jack who craved her love!He was so in love with her!He loved her so much that he was willing to let down his guard completely and submit to her.All he wanted... was for her to love him back!Lynette Blossom stared at her phone in disbelief. She could no longer find the content that she was looking at a moment ago.Someone posted photos of Lucas holding Serenity’s hand on the internet earlier. Those photos stung Lynette.Lynette was the one Lucas believed saved him when he was a child! Why would he still help Serenity and pull her into his car?In the photos, he showed Serenity a lot of concern!If Lucas knew that the person he was looking for was actually Serenity... Lynette did not even dare to think what would happen.Suddenly, she heard someone say, "Why is she still staring at her phone? All the la
His hair was usually neatly combed, but it was slightly ruffled at the moment with a few strands of hair dropping down to his forehead. His handsome face was usually cold and indifferent, but right now, it looked disoriented and lonely.He was holding a small silver bracelet.His eyes were fixed on the bracelet.Lynette's feelings were complicated when she saw the bracelet.After Lynette assumed Serenity's identity, Lucas did not give her the silver bracelet. Instead, he kept it.Sometimes, he would look at the bracelet even though she was right next to him, as if he was looking at something through the bracelet.What was he looking at? Serenity when she was little? The thought drove Lynette crazy with jealousy."Lucas," Lynette bit her lip and tried to look sad, "Why didn't you come pick me up from school? Why are you drinking alone here? Don't you know how worried I was about you? I was afraid that something might have happened to you."Lucas slowly looked up and smiled gentl
After nearly four years of not touching any professional law books, Serenity thought her knowledge would be very rusty and she might not be able to memorize the legal provisions.But she quickly found that she could remember them very quickly, just like old times. She browsed through the various cases and absorbed the experiences of her seniors like a sponge.Perhaps the void of the last four years made her brain eager to fill in these blanks with knowledge.Serenity went through the thick law books with great fervor.A new desk had been placed next to Jackson's desk in the study specifically for Serenity.Serenity read the books seriously. Out of habit, she would mark down the parts that she had questions about so that she could look them up later.Serenity was fully absorbed in the books and did not notice Jackson staring at her from the side.He had never seen what she looked like when she was a lawyer. Even when she became a prisoner, he did not spare her a glance.The firs
