"What kind of place is it?" Serenity's curiosity was piqued.Lisa covered her mouth to hide her cheeky smile and said, "You'll find out soon enough."Serenity thought Lisa was smiling like a cunning brothel madame in a movie.When Lisa finally took her to the "cool spot", it turned out to be a simple basement bar. The place was mostly filled with young people ranging from 17 to their early 20s.The two of them looked really out of place among the youngsters.Serenity, not understanding the appeal, asked, "What's so great about this place?""You'll see!" Lisa answered with a wink.At 8 pm, a band with five members took the stage. The atmosphere in the bar became electrifying.The band seemed pretty ordinary to Serenity, but Lisa was very excited."Here they come, here they come!" "You brought me here to see them?" Serenity asked. "They've been very popular recently in certain circles. All five of them are good looking. When they dance, they're smoking hot!" Lisa grew more e
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Jackson asked indifferently."It's... about Ms. Lewis.""Serenity?" Jackson's expression turned serious, "What happened to her?""Well... Today, her friend Lisa Quest took her to an underground bar to watch a show."Jackson asked, "Did they get into a fight?" He wasn't that worried about her safety as he had dispatched people to protect her in secret.If those people couldn't even handle that kind of problem, they were as good as useless."No, but KING is performing at the underground bar today.""KING?" Jackson raised an eyebrow. "They're a bar band that's rising in popularity recently. Most of their fans are... young women," Connor's voice grew quieter as he spoke. "Keep going," Jackson said with narrowed eyes."KING's performance... incorporates a lot of dancing. Some of the dances... are meant to excite the female audience, particularly when they... strip..." Connor became increasingly nervous the more he spoke. When he said the w
As soon as Jackson exited the car, he could already hear the noises and shouting inside the bar. It made him frown.Noticing that, Connor suggested tentatively, "Mr. Valor, it's very crowded inside. Should I go in and retrieve Ms. Lewis for you?""No, I'll take care of it myself!" Jackson responded coldly.At that moment, a silver Porsche raced down the road and stopped in front of the bar.A tall man emerged from the car. He was taken aback when he saw Jackson.Jackson was similarly surprised to see him.The two men stared at each other.Connor fought the urge to laugh. You don't see a sight like this everyday! "Are you here for Lisa?" Jackson broke the silence.Terry's eyes lit up. "And you're here for... Serenity?" "You'll get yours and I'll get mine," Jackson stated.Alright, looks like Jackson is indeed here for Serenity, Terry thought to himself.The reason Terry knew Lisa was there was because, in her excitement, she took a picture of the stage and shared it on soc
Terry spotted Lisa on a table waving excitedly at the five men on stage. She seemed to be holding a man’s vest. It looked like... a performer's costume!Serenity was behaving a little better compared to Lisa. But not by much, Terry concluded.Serenity was currently standing on a chair, waving her hands and cheering excitedly. She shouted at the five men on stage who were dancing vigorously with their shirts off, "Keep going! Keep going!" "…..." This was definitely not the Serenity Lewis that Terry knew. Terry stole a glance at Jackson. The inside of the bar was dim so he could not see Jackson's facial expression, but even so... Terry wished Serenity luck.He had no idea what kind of fate awaited Serenity now that she had made Jackson Valor angry.They had already split up, but based on Jackson's reaction, Terry couldn't help but think that... things were not that simple between them.Jackson walked up to Serenity and swept her off her feet, carrying her off the chair.To hi
Jackson gave off a cold intensity, while Terry refused to back down an inch.It felt as if the two men were cut off from the noise around them.Connor, who was standing behind Jackson, was sweating with fear. If Mr. Valor got into a conflict with Terry White, the consequences would be dire.The White family may not be based in Solaria, but if they decided to fight the Valor family for real, both sides would suffer heavy losses.Moreover, Terry White may look like a gentleman on the outside, but he was actually ruthless and cunning.Otherwise, an illegitimate child like him would never have become the head of the White family.Just then, Serenity, who was in Jackson's arms, told Lisa, "Lisa, Jack came to pick me up... Let's watch the show again some other time!"Lisa replied, "Okay, some other time then!"The two intoxicated women had inadvertently lightened the mood. Jackson left the bar with a gloomy face with Serenity. Connor followed him outside.Terry wanted to take Lisa a
Serenity wrapped her hands around Jackson's neck, gazing at his familiar face up close.He's... Jack. The Jack that she could always... rely on."I'm so happy today, Jack," she whispered.His eyebrows furrowed hearing that. "Happy?" "Yeah... So happy... Watching the show and dancing along makes me forget all my problems..." she mumbled.What kind of problems was she trying to forget? She couldn't remember anymore.But holding onto Jack like this made her feel safe. It was a feeling that she had not had for a long time."Lisa said... the band earlier... have been very popular lately...""Lisa likes the guy who dyed his hair white, but... I prefer the one... with black hair... I've always preferred dark hair." "I... wanted to fight for their clothes too... when they took off their clothes and threw them to the crowd...""Lisa said... if I really liked the vest she got, she would give it to me..."Connor could feel the atmosphere in the car getting heavier as Serenity spoke.
He vaguely remembered having the same conversation with her once, back when they had just started living together.Back then, her answer was..."Of course I'd like you, Jack!" Serenity grinned, though it was a drunken smile. Her answer was the same as before.Was she only saying that because she was drunk? Back then, she was his Sis, and he was her Jack.He asked her again, "If I'm good, will you be my Sis?" Be his Sis, and stay by his side.Although he couldn't give her love, he could give her everything else.He could make her dreams come true. He could make the people who looked down on her bow down to her. He could help her become someone important.As long as... she remained by his side.That might be the only way to make him feel better."Sure, but... I'm already your Sis," she said softly, "Jack, don't be scared... I'll protect you... I'll definitely protect you..."As she talked, her eyes slowly closed. Her voice kept getting softer until finally, she dozed off.He s
The maid made hangover soup while Terry sat Lisa down on the couch. He promised to drive her home after she finished the soup.But Lisa pouted and said, "I don't want to go home! I want to watch the show! Take me back to the bar right now so that I can ogle at hot men!"That annoyed Terry. "Ogle at hot men?! Lisa Quest! You told me you had to work, but you went to a bar instead?! How dare you?! I need to teach you a lesson!"Lisa's body tensed. Even though she was drunk, she knew she was the one in the wrong. "How did you... find me? I... I didn't tell you I went to the bar!" she grumbled, still displeased. "How do you think?!" he grunted in annoyance. If she hadn't posted that picture on social media, he would never have found out."Give me the vest," Terry demanded. It annoyed him to see her hold onto another man's vest. "No!" Lisa shook her head vehemently, clutching the vest even tighter. "It's mine! *hic* I fought hard for it!"Fought hard for it?! Terry was so mad he s
