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
But then, what about Lynette?However, if it was confirmed the dreams had nothing to do with amnesia, it would mean that she was just having those dreams because she heard Lynette talking about her experiences when they were children. If she told Jackson about the dreams now, she might make him paranoid for no reason.She would tell him after she made sure."Should I book a specialist for you?" asked Jackson.The specialist he mentioned would definitely be top-notch."No, it's fine, I've already made an appointment with a doctor tomorrow. Let the doctor take a look at it first," replied Serenity."Then I'll go with you tomorrow," said Jackson."It's just for a headache. I'll be fine by myself. Tomorrow's a weekday, so you have to work," Serenity quickly said. After all, she was going to the doctor to consult about her dreams, so it would be rather inconvenient if he was there.The light in his eyes flickered slightly, but his eyelids drooped down, hiding his eyes with his lon
If the dreams were indeed her memories, then she was indeed the person Lucas had been searching for. What should she do then? What would be her next step? Should she tell Lucas about it?Would it only cause more trouble eventually?But... if she did not find out the truth... there would be a bottomless hole in her heart which would cause her constant anxiety.While Serenity was lost in thought, her phone rang. She picked up the call and heard a familiar voice. It was a call from Jackson. "How did it go? Have you seen the doctor?""Yeah, I have," replied Serenity."What did the doctor say?""He said it's nothing serious. He asked me to come back if the problem lingers," she said somewhat guiltily. After all, she had always believed that a couple should be honest to each other, but now, she was actually lying to him."That's great. There's a trade show tomorrow that you should go with me. I'll ask the driver to take you to Color Delight to pick a gown and jewelry," said Jackson.
She was left standing in the boutique in embarrassment.She had not visited the boutique again after that.And now, all the staff were showing her a respectful attitude. Of course she knew that it was not because she was Serenity Lewis, but because the man behind her was Jackson Valor.That was the way the world worked. Many people in the society were materialistic.She hoped that, one day, she would be respected not because of who the person standing behind her was, but because of who she was.In the end, Serenity chose a purple evening gown. The gown's design was very simple. Although the style was relatively conservative, it gave the gown a sense of elegance and dignity. The combination of crystals and lace on the waist and skirt gave the gown a lively feeling so that it did not look too rigid.When Serenity chose the gown, a staff member looked like she wanted to say something but she was stopped by a look from Mr. Wallace.After Serenity went into the changing room, the sta
Before this, he thought Lynette was only rumored to be the Prince's girlfriend, but the Prince had not admitted it yet, so he was not afraid of offending Lynette.But now, the Prince had actually come to the boutique with her!Could Lynette actually be the Prince’s girlfriend?On one side was the Prince's woman and on the other was Mr. Valor's woman. Mr. Wallace wished he could pass out right now so he would not have to face such a difficult problem.Meanwhile, Lucas was staring at Serenity in a daze. She was standing there quietly, waiting for the manager's answer.The soft light of the corridor fell on her body, making her look gentle and serene.There was an underlying toughness in her almond-shaped eyes. A woman like her may seem gentle, but nothing could crush her.Even three years in prison could not wear away the toughness and clarity in her eyes.Seeing the way Lucas was looking at Serenity, Lynette's jealousy burned even greater. She bit her lower lip and pretended to
Jackson glanced sideways at Lucas.Lucas, seemingly aware of this, shifted his gaze to meet Jackson's eyes.The two men's eyes met in mid-air. There seemed to be a silent battle going on between them.Suddenly, the corner of Jackson's mouth curled into a smile. He reached out and wrapped his hand around Serenity's shoulders, leaned down to move his face close to hers, and softly repeated his previous question, "What did you say you would let her have?"That stung Lucas.Jackson… was doing it on purpose!Was he deliberately acting intimate with Serenity to tell other people to stop having funny ideas about her?It left a bitter taste in Lucas' mouth.He could not believe that he would actually fancy another man's fiancée.He had never lacked for women. He had never bothered to hit on women who already had significant others.All the women he had been involved with had done so willingly.However... Serenity was an exception.Was it because she looked too similar to the girl i
Serenity seemed like she had changed her mind about the purple dress after hearing that Lucas liked purple. 'Is she… Is she trying to draw a line with me?' Lucas felt uncomfortable at the thought that flashed past his mind.***Each of the fitting rooms here was a separate room. The staff guided Lucas and Lynette to one of the VIP fitting rooms.When Lynette appeared in the same dress Serenity had worn earlier, Lucas simply glanced at her and said, "Not bad."Lynette knew she would not look as good as Serenity in this dress, especially when Serenity had already worn it before her. It felt like Lynette was imitating Serenity. After what had happened earlier, it would be hard for her to get another dress instead."Lucas, do you think I shouldn't have argued with Serenity about the dress earlier?" An aggrieved look spread across Lynette's face. "I-I just wanted to wear the purple dress to make you happy. I remember you said you liked purple when you were little."Lynette paused slig
The next moment, Jackson wrapped his arms around Serenity from behind. He let out his breath and moved his lips closer to her ear. "Sis, you're so pretty."Serenity's face flushed red. Doing that right here… The staff in the store were still around!"Hey… You shouldn't! People are watching!" Serenity warned softly, her face heating up again."So what? We're dating. Isn't it natural to hug?" Jackson said.Serenity looked up and faced the mirror. She had a shy smile on her face, wrapped in his embrace. The contrast between Jackson in a black suit and Serenity in a silver dress formed a sharp difference and strong visual impact.Suddenly, her eyes met his. The couple looked in the mirror, their gazes locked. Serenity stared at Jackson in the mirror. He rested his chin against her shoulder, his hair slicked back, revealing his forehead.His beautiful eyes exuded endless charm, his sexy lips parting to speak under his chiseled nose. "Sis, you're so beautiful." Serenity's face turn
