When Wilson thought of Clara, his chest felt stuffy again."It's not suitable!" He rejected her suggestion without even considering it. "A wedding is a happy occasion. This diamond is shaped like a teardrop. It's a bad omen." There's not much Sandra could say to that. She could only say, "In that case... why don't we take a look at the other wedding rings? What kind of wedding ring do you like, Wilson?""That can wait. I'll choose a ring with you after we announce the wedding," said Wilson.Sandra was disappointed, but she managed to force a smile and replied, "Sure, we can wait until the wedding is announced."Sandra chose another set of diamond earrings before leaving the jewelry store with Wilson. "The driver will take you home later," Wilson said. "What about you?" Sandra was surprised. "I have some business to take care of. I'll call you when I'm done," Wilson replied.Sandra could only nod, but before she got into the car, she asked uneasily, "Wilson, are we really g
That was just her last, desperate attempt to make him change his mind.However, she misjudged him. He did not have any feelings for her!That's right! None whatsoever!Wilson kept telling himself that, but then... why would the image of her covered in blood constantly pop up in his mind lately?She seemed determined to not have anything to do with him anymore.What about him? He finally found her after all these years. If he could never see her again... That idea made Wilson's heart ache. He hadn't had proper revenge yet. Spending a few years in prison was not enough to make up for what she did!He tried to convince himself that that was the reason. He took out his phone and made a call. "It's me. Send someone to keep an eye on her. Alert me if anything happens."No matter what, he refused to let her disappear from his sight again.She wanted to vanish without a trace, never to see him again, but he wouldn't let that happen!After leaving Clara's house, Peter drove Serenity
Peter was hesitant. He grabbed Serenity's arm and said, "Why don't I go with you, just in case?""I'll be fine." Serenity smiled and gently patted the back of his hand, "I know that person." Only then did Peter release her hand, albeit reluctantly.Serenity exited the car and followed the driver to the black Bentley.The driver opened the backseat door for her, and Serenity climbed inside. Peter could make out the shadowy figure of a man in a suit in the Bentley, but his face was indistinguishable.Bam!The door slammed shut, and the Bentley accelerated away.Peter sat in his car alone, his mind filled with speculation. Who was the man in the car? What was his relationship with Serenity?Serenity looked at Jackson who was sitting next to her. She noticed the playful smile on the corner of his lips. However, his eyes were cold."So you're interested in Peter Wall, huh? Do you enjoy spending time with him?" He asked casually, but Serenity felt like her heart was hit with a h
"Someone like you will never be able to understand that, but I certainly can. We're all human, but some individuals are in positions of power where they can easily decide other people's fate. Meanwhile, plain, ordinary folks like us have to remain humble and compromise. Sometimes, we can't even control our own destiny. We’re often taken advantage of."If... she wasn't from a regular family but was from a well-known and powerful one, she would never have been framed for the car accident.The culprit who set her up would never have dared to offend her.Every day she was in jail, she felt like an empty husk. How she would live each day depended on the whims of others. They decided whether she would get beaten up that day or not.All of that happened because of a single order from a person in power.Jackson gazed at the woman in front of him with his dark eyes. "How would you know I don't understand?" he muttered, a mocking smile crossing his lips.The reason he broke up with her and
Jackson brushed his lips across her warm hand as he spoke."Don't you want to be my sister? When you were drunk, you wanted to be my Sis. If you want, we can go back to the way things were. If you don't want to return to Valor Residence, I can live with you in your rented place like before."Feeling startled, Serenity stared up at him in surprise. She felt his lips pressing against her hand, his hot breath against her skin. His features were delicate, his eyes gorgeous. He seemed to be a chiseled statue of male perfection, so much so that she could not take her eyes off him.Serenity pondered. 'Do I want to be his Sis again? Do I want to go back to the way things were?' Serenity questioned herself. Once upon a time, Serenity was happy and carefree, living a cozy life with Jackson. She thought she finally had a family and was no longer alone! All she wanted was a family. Love was not part of her expectations at that time.Serenity eventually calmed down and returned to a calm and
Serenity shut her eyes, trying to keep the red marks on her wrist from burning up again. However, the image of Jackson kissing the red spot on her hand kept haunting her! She still could not get it out of her head!***Clara woke up early in the morning, her expression softening as she looked at her son's sleeping face. She was glad to be able to watch her kid grow up like this!It was the hardest part of her life, but Clara was glad she had not aborted the baby. She had insisted on giving birth. Although it was the most painful moment in her life, it was worth it. Mrs. Wells entered the room and saw her daughter staring at her grandson, Yanny, with loving eyes. She said softly, "Clara, everything's packed. We have a train to catch in the afternoon. Why don't you sleep a little longer?""Can't sleep." Clara shook her head. "The movers will be here soon. I have to get ready.""I wonder if we can reopen our business after moving to Georgia." Mrs. Wells was worried. She was heartbr
"My dad said that you should announce the wedding date later. To show your sincerity," Sandra said."Sure," Wilson agreed. He would do whatever she wanted him to do."Let's do the first dance when the dance starts," Sandra added."Hmm," Wilson agreed. Just then, Wilson's phone rang suddenly. Wilson grabbed his phone and frowned upon seeing the caller ID. Then, he told Sandra, "I need to take a call. I'll be right over."With that, Wilson went to a quiet corner and answered the call. The man he had sent to Solaria to keep an eye on Clara was calling. He must be calling to inform him about Clara's latest situation. When Wilson answered the call, his face suddenly changed. All Wilson heard was, "Mr. Birch, Clara is leaving Solaria on the 3:45 p.m. train, and…""What else?""She's not alone," the informant said.Wilson was puzzled. Clara was not alone? What did he mean by that? Wilson knew about Clara's mother. Clara had disappeared after her release from prison. Her mother had
"I-I don't know," Sandra said, flushing and drowning in embarrassment. Who was the one who had called Wilson earlier? Wilson wanted to stop someone from leaving. Who was it?'Don't let them go…' Who were those people he was referring to?!"U-Um… What do we do? Why did he leave like that? Does he really want to marry Sandra?" Mrs. Cooper said anxiously.The Cooper family had merely run a small family business before. However, with the Birch family's help, they were now lucky enough to be part of the high society. Everyone knew that the Cooper family had been dependent on the Birch family. Many secretly called the Cooper family a parasite of the Birch family. If Sandra could not get married into the Birch family, the Cooper family might return to its original state."How can that be? The Birch family has already agreed to the wedding date. Nothing will change!" Mr. Cooper lowered his voice and scolded his wife in a hushed tone, "Well, with all the guests today, we must act as if no
