Clara took a deep breath, followed Wilson, and got into the car.After getting into the car, Clara's phone rang. She glanced down at her phone. It was her mother calling.Clara answered the phone only to hear her mother's anxious voice. "Clare? Where are you? Are you coming over? The ticket inspection is almost over.""Mom, Yanny and I can't go over anymore. You should find a place to stay for a while, maybe a motel," Clara said."What's going on?" Mrs. Wells asked.Clara looked up and met Wilson's gaze. Wilson seemed curious about her answer, his lips curling into a mocking smile.Yanny sat between the two adults and gazed up at Clara. The father and son had somewhat similar eyes, their similarity becoming visibly distinct."We're with Wilson right now," Clara said calmly.Mrs. Wells drew a sharp gasp on the other end of the phone, panic coloring her voice. "H-He met Yanny?! And you… Wilson…" Mrs. Wells stammered, barely able to speak."Mom, don't worry. I'll handle this," Cl
'Yanny is a deaf child. Yanny is my child. Is my son disabled?!' Wilson felt uncomfortable from the inexplicable feeling that rose in his heart!Just then, the car stopped at the entrance of the hotel. Wilson got out of the car. Clara held Yanny's hand and followed behind.Wilson often stayed in the presidential suite. It was Yanny's first time entering the suite. Everything here was full of surprises for him. He was wide-eyed, staring at the 70-inch LCD TV screen full of curiosity. The little one gradually grew drowsy after the initial excitement.Yanny had been very excited about the train ride earlier. He had been supposed to nap after lunch, but he had not. After a tiring day, he finally fell into a deep slumber.Clara looked at her sleeping son in her arms. She lowered her voice and spoke to Wilson, "Can Yanny sleep in this room? Let's go to another room if you want to talk. I don't want the kid to hear something that isn't what he should know at this age."Hearing that, Wils
Wilson had sworn that he would never let anyone from the Wells family hurt him again. But why could she cause him so much pain with just a few words?!"Is that so? A DNA test will tell us the answer." Wilson quietly hid the pain in his heart."Don't bother. Yanny is not your son!" Clara hissed."It's not up to you to decide," Wilson warned, his voice cold. "If he's my child, he must return to the Birch family!"Clara's face instantly turned pale. She could not stop the sharp 'No!' that escaped her lips.Her cry was so harsh that Wilson froze in his tracks."He's the child you didn't want. How could you let him go to the Birch family? No one in the Birch family wanted him!" Clara snapped, angry. To her, Yanny was all she had! "Because he has my blood in him. I never intended to let my child live separated from me," Wilson stated.Clara suddenly fell silent, shuddering in fear, her pale face colored with nothing but despair. Wilson felt distressed seeing the expression on Clar
Meanwhile, Mrs. Wells was utterly disoriented by Clara's situation. Mrs. Wells called Serenity, her voice full of panic. "Umm, Serenity… Wilson took Clara and Yanny with him! What should I do?! She told me not to worry, but the more I think about it, I can't! I tried to call her again, but no one answered!"Serenity was stunned when she received the call from Mrs. Wells. "What happened? Are you all still in Solaria?""Yes. Clara took Yanny to the restroom when it was almost time for ticket inspection. I waited for them, but they never returned. I called later, and Clara said she was with Wilson…" Mrs. Wells choked out, nearly sobbing.Serenity quickly comforted Mrs. Wells. "Auntie, don't worry. I'll think of something. I'll get back to you later."When Serenity hung up, her brows furrowed. She thought Clara would be better off in Georgia, but Wilson had taken Clara and Yanny away! Where would they be taken? Out of the city? Or were they still in Solaria?Serenity wondered how sh
The senior executive struggled to finish the last sentence in his report. Once he was done, he looked at Jackson cautiously, fearing that Jackson might be dissatisfied with his report.The atmosphere was growing tense when a phone suddenly rang in the meeting room. Everyone in the meeting room turned to the two cell phones in front of Jackson. Those who worked closely with Mr. Valor knew he had two cell phones. One was a high-end model, a limited edition phone worth thousands. The other was a cheap phone seen everywhere in the city.Mr. Valor took care of the cheap phone even though that phone seemed to have barely any incoming calls. It was the cheap phone that rang this time.The senior management saw the change of expression on Mr. Valor's face. The latter then took the phone and answered the call in the middle of the meeting. Everyone could hear him speak."Are you begging me…? Okay. Send me their photos and last location. I'll have someone check it out."Everyone was secretly
Serenity pursed her lips and took a deep breath. "Where is he now?" Serenity asked Connor."If you'd like to see Mr. Valor, you can come downstairs in a few minutes. I'll take you to Mr. Valor," Connor said.Serenity was stunned. She had not expected Connor to come. Was her reaction within Jackson's expectations? Jackson had figured that she would beg him to get Clara and Yanny out after knowing where they were. Was that why he had sent Connor to wait downstairs first?Serenity was trapped in the net, she realized, and she had no hope of escape!"Got it," Serenity said and put her phone away.When Serenity returned to her desk, her colleagues had begun to leave one after another as it was time to get off work. Serenity hurriedly packed up and left the office. Fortunately, it was already the end of the day, so she did not have to ask for a leave from work.Serenity went downstairs and spotted a gray car waiting across the street. Connor got out of the car, greeting her.Serenity
Serenity was stunned. The whole place? Serenity could not fathom why Jackson would go to such great lengths to reserve the place for himself. She did not think many restaurants would accept any request to book out the entire restaurant, especially an exclusive place like this. Even if they were wealthy, only a select few in Solaria could afford to reserve a top-notch restaurant like this.Serenity followed Connor to the third floor and saw only one table in the spacious hall. Jackson sat on one side, browsing the menu in his hands. When he heard the footsteps, he tilted his head up and glanced over in her direction.His dark eyes, sparkling with light, met hers, and his lips curved into a smile. It was mesmerizing and unforgettable. Was this the most perfect smile Serenity would ever see in her life?Letting out a deep breath, Serenity walked over to Jackson. "Hey. I was wondering if you could help me get Clara and Yanny out of Wilson's place." Jackson chuckled. "Have a seat."
What about him? How much did he mean to her?! Jackson felt uncomfortable thinking about this. Was this a kind of jealousy?"If this hadn't happened to her, you wouldn't have come to me at all, would you?" Jackson asked, staring intently at her.Serenity remained silent, but the look on her face said it all.A tense atmosphere filled the room. Fortunately, the restaurant staff started bringing out the food, serving the table with many gourmet dishes.Serenity had no desire to eat at all. She was worried about Clara and Yanny. Wilson might take Yanny away. If he did...Serenity thought of the last time Clara had gotten herself injured and hospitalized. Wilson had still been unaware of Yanny's existence at that time. Clara had hurt herself just to draw the line between her and Wilson. She did not want anything to do with Wilson. Serenity did not dare to imagine what would happen this time."Let's eat," Jackson's cold voice rang. He grabbed the cutleries and put some food onto her pl
