Her hands were cupped in his hands. The contrast between the two pairs of hands, one large and one small, were striking.His hands were beautiful. From the shape of his fingers, to the length, to the joints and nails, they all looked perfect.On the contrary, some of the joints on her hands looked unnatural, two of them particularly crooked. Her hands looked like the kind of hands that had gone through many years of manual labor. Upon closer inspection, one could even see some scars on her skin...Next to his hands, her hands looked ugly."Why are you suddenly grabbing my hands..." Serenity bit her lip slightly, wanting to pull her hands back.But he would not let her. "From now on, if there's anything that you want to do but can't because of your hands, I'll do it for you."She was stunned. Noticing the guilty look on his face, she realized something, so she smiled and said, "It's not your fault that I have bad hands. You don't have to feel guilty about it.When he saw the smil
"Who? Who's blacklisting me?" she asked fiercely.But when her agent told her the person's name, her face paled.Jackson Valor!The person who wanted to blacklist her was Jackson Valor!Jackson Valor had never been interested in the entertainment industry. He had never messed with any celebrity before. This was the first time!As for the reason... Jenny's mind drifted to the incident at the convention. She acted humble and apologized to Serenity, asking for Serenity's forgiveness, but Serenity refused to forgive her.After that, Jackson Valor said, "So be it."She expected Jackson Valor to do something, but she didn't think he would go so far as to blacklist her from the entertainment industry!No matter what, she was still Jackson Valor's sister-in-law in name!Even though Jackson Valor never truly loved Mira, the public still believed that the Valor family and the Hall family were close.If news of her being blacklisted by Jackson Valor spread, she would be completely embar
Demetria and Jenny were shocked.The piece of land in the south of the city was highly-prized. The Hall family went through a lot of effort to get their hands on it. The real estate industry had been booming in the last few years, so that piece of land was now worth over a billion dollars!They would give Serenity Lewis a billion dollars – just like that?No way!Demetria was about to have a fit, but to her surprise, Quinton's face sank when he heard Jackson's reply. She heard him say, "Would you really not consider it, Mr. Valor?"Jackson Valor... refused?Demetria and Jenny were both speechless.A moment later, Quinton put down his phone and gave his second daughter a helpless look.She reaped what she sowed.Who could have predicted that the originally weak and helpless Serenity Lewis would now have the most powerful backing in Solaria."Just leave the entertainment industry and come back to work for the family. You’re supposed to inherit the Hall family after your sister
After thinking about it for the past few days, Clara had actually resolved herself for what was to come. If she could not avoid contact with Wilson Birch, if she could not prevent Wilson Birch from finding her, then when that day came, she would just let him have all the revenge he wanted."But..." Serenity looked like she wanted to say something, but Clara gently took her hand and said, "I know you're concerned about me. I'm really happy to have a friend like you, but... this is between Wilson and I. It needs to be resolved sooner or later."After a pause, Clara added, "Serenity, I would only ask one thing from you."Clara's expression was serious and earnest. It made Serenity's heart thump."If... Wilson really finds me, I might not be able to see my mom and Yanny for a while. When that time comes, I hope you can help me take care of them for a period of time. After all, my mom is old and Yanny is young, so they can't do much by themselves," said Clara. She had already left her
However, when she needed help the most, that voice said, "My biggest regret in life is having you as my girlfriend."How laughable! How ridiculous! Promises and oaths could change so easily just because of an accident, and another woman could easily take her place as the love of his life.The voice that Serenity once knew so well now sounded so unfamiliar to her.Serenity turned around and saw Zeke Shaw. As usual, he was wearing stylish and expensive clothes as befitting of his status as a wealthy young man.It was no surprise that Jenny Hall would date Zeke Shaw; he was indeed good looking. "I don't think we have anything to talk about," said Serenity. "Just a few minutes. It won't take long," Zeke spoke hurriedly as if he was afraid that he would miss the opportunity. He continued, " Serenity, I know what I did was wrong. I should have protected you back then. I shouldn't have given in to the pressure."Serenity looked at him coldly and said, "Zeke, you don't have to tell
"You think that's vicious, Mr. Shaw? You have no idea what real viciousness looks like!" Serenity interrupted Zeke.She had experienced inhuman torture in prison. Sometimes, she thought she wouldn't survive. Zeke Shaw had not even experienced a fraction of that pain."Will you only be satisfied if you completely destroy Jenny?" Zeke asked indignantly. "You say that as if she didn't try to completely destroy me in the past! I'm lucky I can still hold things with my hands!" Serenity mocked.Zeke was stunned. His eyes fell on Serenity's hands.To be honest, he would often recall that scene from years ago, and it would give him mixed feelings.After knowing that Serenity was falsely accused, he wondered if things would have turned out differently if she hadn't gone to prison.However, he quickly dismissed the thought.Jenny was the best choice for him and for the Shaw family. "Serenity, you have Jackson Valor now. Why must you be so ruthless?" Zeke tried pleading with her. Ser
It was only a single word, but it meant that Jenny Hall had really been blacklisted by the entertainment industry!Although Serenity expected it, she was still surprised. After all, Jenny Hall was not an ordinary celebrity – she was also the second daughter of the Hall family! But Jackson... actually blacklisted her, just like that.She stared at the word "Yes" on her phone, lost in thought.After a while, Serenity sent another message: "Will the Hall family become your enemy?"She did not want his career to be affected because of their relationship.After all, the Hall family was also a powerful family in Solaria.Jackson's answer was short: "They wouldn't dare."She felt relieved.That evening, Jenny Hall publicly announced that she would retire from showbiz to inherit her family business.The sudden announcement sent the whole entertainment world into a frenzy!After all, Jenny Hall was a really popular celebrity. It was even rumored that her upcoming movie would help he
Jackson wrapped his hands around Serenity's waist. He moved his lips close to her ear and said, "Looks like Lisa can say some good things too sometimes.""What good things?" Serenity naturally asked."That you picked a good husband," replied Jackson.Her face instantly turned even redder. "J-Jack..." Her voice stuttered a bit."Let's get married next year," Jackson murmured close to her ear. He would wait for her for one year while she mourned her grandmother. After that, he wanted her to be his.Why did one year's time feel so long?He could not help worrying that something might happen this year that would make her leave him.The more he loved her, the stronger the fear grew.Thinking of that, his arms unconsciously tightened around her a little more."Jack, loosen up a bit," she said with a flushed face. After all, they were in the kitchen. Someone might see them... "If the servants come in...""No one would dare to come in without my permission," he said. He kissed her fo
