Then why was the emotion in his eyes so thick that she felt like she would melt?It almost made her believe that he actually loved her!Loved her? No way!He hated her to death! She left him the next morning without saying a word after sleeping with him!"I..." She bit her lip, not knowing how to reply.He did not wait for her reply. Instead, he took out his phone and called someone. He spoke into the phone, "I want the news of Jenny Hall getting blacklisted to Trend... That's right... Hold on."Terry turned to Lisa and asked, "How many days do you want it to stay at the top of Trending?""Huh?" Lisa blinked her eyes in confusion. She blurted out, "...Three?""Three days," Terry told the person on the phone. After hanging up, he told Lisa, "All right, you got your wish."Lisa blinked in confusion once more. It's... done?Something that she had failed to do after a whole day of hard work was taken care of with simply a kiss and a phone call?Lisa suddenly felt that her kiss..
"My sister used to say that a man like Jackson Valor would never truly love a woman. He simply could not truly trust any woman. The only person in the world he could trust was himself!"Serenity better made sure that Jackson did not doubt her in the slightest, because if there was even a sliver of doubt... Jenny's eyes grew dark with malice.Jackson Valor was a madman. Jenny's sister loved him to death. She was adamant on marrying him even though he obviously did not love her. However, when she died, he did not shed a single tear for her.Jenny could not wait to see what kind of fate would befall Serenity.Jenny blamed all her misfortune on Serenity. When Serenity eventually got dumped by Jackson Valor, she would definitely make Serenity feel pain once more!Although the Shaw family and the Hall family used a lot of favors and money, the news of Jenny being blacklisted remained a trending topic for three days.The two families were told that there were more than one group who wa
"Actually, you don't have to go through all that trouble. I'll go over to visit Granny's grave and pay my respects. I'll be right back," Serenity said."It's no big deal." Jackson insisted. "Serenity, I'll be there. She's your Granny after all."Warmth flooded through Serenity. Her nose feeling a little sore, she wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her face in his arms. It felt nice to be cherished.Jackson glanced down at Serenity, who had taken the initiative to hug him. He gently stroked her hair, asking, "Your birthday is coming soon. Do you have any wishes?"Birthday wishes? When she had been released from prison, her greatest hope was to overturn her case. That wish had come true.All she wanted now was… Serenity tilted her head slightly, looking at Jackson. "Whatever I wish for, will you grant it?" "Yes. I'll do anything for you, even if I have to go through fire and water," Jackson answered with pure determination."I'll tell you on my birthday," Serenity said
Was Clara somewhere in this night scene?Clara had been haunting him like a nightmare, constantly filling his thoughts. Wilson thought he should have been the winner, but why? Why the unhappiness? His chest hurt whenever he thought of her.Maybe finding her was the only way to stop this strange feeling. 'Find her,' Wilson thought to himself. This time, he would completely erase her from his heart, once and for all!***The next day, Clint, the driver working for the Valor family, drove Serenity to the small town. Dressed in a black dress, Serenity walked into the Walker residence.A week had passed since Emily's funeral. Wanting to commemorate Emily seven days after her passing, the Walker family had invited many relatives and neighbors to come over, and the priests had been called over to recite prayers as well. By the time Serenity arrived, the Walker residence was packed with guests.Serenity went to the shrine and offered her respect to Granny Emily. Looking at Granny's bla
Serenity's heart trembled for a moment. Lucas' eyes were cold and indifferent. It was as if he was looking at an unimportant stranger.An inexplicable sense of disappointment rose from the bottom of her heart. It spread so quickly, surprising her.What was this feeling? Was she regretting how the boy she had saved as a child treated her like a stranger?'But… Isn't this my own choice?' Serenity might have been the little girl who had saved Lucas, but… She had made her choice. Her heart had decided on Jack!Serenity wanted to reassure Jack, the man she loved, that Lucas did not mean anything to her. She did not want Jack to grow uneasy. The last thing she wanted to see was the vulnerable look on his face. The lost memories did not matter anymore. She no longer had the intention to restore them. She just wanted things to stay the same!Serenity smiled bitterly and kept her head down.Standing beside Lucas, Lynette gave Serenity a hostile look. Then, she glanced at Lucas with some c
Serenity chuckled suddenly. "Hey, Lynette. Did you really save Lucas when you were a kid?"Lynette shot Serenity a glare. "Would Lucas be so nice to me if I didn't save him when I was a kid?""But I remember you didn't like to play around the hill when you were a kid. Instead, I often went there to play." Serenity said.Lynette's face paled. "Y-You… What do you mean? What does saving Lucas have anything to do with me liking to play there?! Anyway, I went there occasionally and happened to save Lucas that time." Lynette's gaze was evasive."A coincidence?" Serenity studied Lynette's strange expression. She was sure that Lynette was hiding something. It was not Lynette who had saved Lucas."Serenity, that's enough!" Lynette snapped in anger, deliberately using her anger to cover her lie. "What happens between Lucas and me has nothing to do with you! Mind your own business!" With that, Lynette stormed off in a rage.Serenity lowered her gaze, looking at her hands. If her dream was t
Serenity had prepared some offerings for Granny ahead of time. She did not want to visit Granny's grave with the Walker family. Instead, she wanted to spend some time alone with Granny.The car arrived at the bottom of the hill. Serenity did not want Clint to go up with her. "I'll go up by myself. I want to be alone with Granny. Wait here for me."Clint had a troubled look on his face. "But Mr. Valor said…""I'll talk to Jack later. You'll be fine," Serenity assured. "Besides, it's daytime. We're at the village's ancestral graves. There won't be any danger here," Serenity said, carrying the offerings she had brought for the visit.Clint could not say anything more. He could only wait for Serenity at the bottom of the hill. Serenity went up the hill. The phone rang suddenly just as she was reaching Granny's grave. It was Jackson who was calling."I've finished my morning meeting. I'm coming over now," Jackson said."Don't be in such a hurry. I'm not done yet," Serenity said."W
"Get the car. We're leaving now," Jackson said quietly."Got it," Connor responded, giving Jackson a sidelong glance. Seeing the look on Mr. Valor's face, he seemed to be suppressing some dark feelings.Certain things should not be questioned, or everything would change abruptly!'It's probably because of Serenity,' Connor thought to himself. Mr. Valor cared for Serenity more than anyone could imagine, even Mr. Valor himself.However, Connor had doubts. He could not understand why Mr. Valor was extremely conscious of Lucas' movements. It was as if he feared something going on between Serenity and Lucas. What was Mr. Valor so afraid of?! Connor thought and immediately laughed at his thought. Would Mr. Valor fear anything? He must be overthinking.…Serenity sat in front of Granny's grave. She told Granny about her current life, her relationship with Jackson, and her hopes for the future…It was quiet at the grave. Unlike the crowded Walker Residence, there were not any people a
