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
However, that threat seemed to be effective against Lisa. Her hands, which had been holding onto the vest tightly, relaxed slightly, but her expression remained unwilling. "Terry, you... you're so mean. You won't even let me keep a little vest?" She spoke with difficulty, her drunken eyes looking pitiful."Didn't you say I was better looking? Why do you still need another man's vest?" he rebuked, forgetting that he was arguing with a drunk person. "They... can dance, unlike you," she grumbled. Terry was exasperated. He said, "How do you know I can't?""Show me, then. I want to see... a strip dance..." she said.He stared at her, then said, "If I dance for you, do you promise you won't think about other men anymore?" "Yes, I promise!" She nodded her little head vigorously. "Okay, but if you go back on your word..." Terry paused briefly before continuing, "Well, it's not like I'd give you a chance to go back on your word anyway." He then started to unbutton his shirt and
"Yes, sir! I'm sorry, sir!" The maid quickly put the bowl of soup down and left the living room.Lisa and Terry were alone once again in the large living room. "Lisa, get up!" Terry commanded."No!" Despite being intoxicated, she said that loud and clear."Quit fooling around. Be a good girl and drink the soup," he coaxed in a gentle tone. If his subordinates were to see this, they would be shocked.He was never one to easily form bonds, so he had never coaxed anyone like this. She was the only exception."Terry, I don't know what to do. I think I'm falling *hic* harder and harder for you..." she mumbled.He knew she was drunk so he shouldn’t take her words seriously, but he still felt like his heart had been hit by something heavy. "If you really like me, why do you still go to those shows and snatch another man's clothes?" "I wanted to... help Serenity... de-stress... Hehe... Also, they're hot... But..." she hiccuped again, then put her hands around his face, "I just like t
