Seeing her red and swollen face, Jackson felt a tightness in his chest that made it difficult to breathe.When he opened the car door and saw her hands bound and her face swollen and bruised, he felt an intense urge to kill someone.How dare they do this to a person he deeply cared for!Serenity bit her lip and refrained from crying out loud. She had grown accustomed to remaining quiet even when she was in pain because she knew even if she cried out, it wouldn't change anything.Jackson opened the ointment case and helped her apply it.In addition to the bruises on her face, she was also kicked a few times on her body. "I can do it myself," she said. "You can't reach the injury on your back," he replied."But...""If you’re embarrassed, I'll apply the ointment with my eyes closed. The doctor's report mentioned the rough location of the injury on your back," Jackson said.Serenity was stunned, and before she could respond, Jackson walked behind her, closed his eyes, and lift
Could he have given the entire firm a vacation because he wanted Serenity to rest at home?No way... right? Why would he do all that just to make her rest?But... if that wasn't the case, then why did the firm close for three days with no explanation?After cleaning up, Serenity laid down in bed. After putting ointment on her injuries, the pain had lessened, but every time she closed her eyes, she relived today's events in her mind.When he appeared before her, she felt a wave of relief. It appeared that... there was someone else in this world other than Lisa who would protect her like that.However, that man did not love her.The love game between them had ended, but when will the sibling game end?Nobody could tell her the answer!Jackson stared coldly at the two bodyguards who hung their heads in shame and dread. Connor sighed helplessly. "Is this how you protect someone?" Jackson's icy voice made Connor wince.Mr. Valor was furious!The two bodyguards remained silent.
"Oh my God! You're hurt! Why didn't you tell me?" When Lisa came to visit Serenity at Serenity's apartment, she was shocked to see the redness and swelling on Serenity's cheeks. "It actually looks worse than it is. It doesn't hurt anymore," Serenity said, hesitant to admit that it looked even worse two days ago. "What happened? How did you get hurt? Who did this to you?" Lisa asked. Serenity explained that she was kidnapped. Even though Serenity tried to play down the situation, Lisa was still alarmed.Towards the end of her story, Lisa suddenly asked, "Wait, you said the highway exit was blocked off by the police? Don't tell me the police were waiting for your kidnappers' car at the highway exit that day?"Serenity was surprised and asked, "What?" Lisa looked up something on her phone before passing it to her friend.Someone posted some pictures they took of a highway exit.However, because the pictures were taken from far away, Serenity could only barely make out lines of
Whenever she fawned over a male celebrity, Terry would become unhappy, and she would have to coax him.If she didn't, he would threaten to snitch about her visit to the underground bar to her parents.Thus, she had no choice but to act subserviently.However, besides his jealous nature, he was actually a good man. For instance, he would hand her snacks when she watched TV, massage her when she had a sore back, and help her get autographs from celebrities – but only from female celebrities.Seeing the happiness on her friend's face, Serenity sincerely hoped that Terry and Lisa could live happily ever after.However, she could not help feeling worried when she thought of Terry's birth and the White family.The White family's situation was very complex. What did Terry, an illegitimate son, had to do to become the head of the White family? How much danger was behind it? The lady of the White family and her two sons were still alive and well. Would they really hand over the massive Wh
"Why does the time matter? I just wanted to see you," she said with a sweet voice, "Terry, I feel so lucky that you like me back." Compared to Serenity, she was so much luckier, which made her feel even more heartbroken for Serenity."Why are you saying this all of a sudden?" Terry gazed at the person in front of him. Though he had no idea why she would suddenly bring that up, he was actually quite happy to hear it."I visited Serenity earlier," Lisa said, "She told me that, because of circumstances, she and Jackson Valor are acting like siblings again. I know Serenity wants to move on from Jackson Valor. This situation will only make things more complicated." After a pause, Lisa said with obvious annoyance, "I don't know what Jackson Valor's thinking. He seems to care about Serenity, yet he broke up with her. They say a woman's heart is a mystery, but his heart looks like a much bigger mystery to me.""Jackson Valor is still in love with Serenity," Terry abruptly interjected.
Also... maybe it would help her remember what happened before.He suddenly chuckled. "What's so funny?!" she asked, "Do you think I'm too forthright?" Well... she definitely wasn't holding back. But it's fine because it's Terry."I'm just thinking that you're indeed the woman I fell in love with!" He moved his finger away and kissed her.His Lisa was always so passionate and innocent. With her, he felt free to be himself. He didn't have to put up any walls or play any mind games. Meeting her and falling in love with her was the best thing that ever happened to him. He didn't even realize how much she meant to him.He knew he would love her for the rest of his life.By the time Serenity went to work, the swelling on her face had subsided significantly. After applying makeup to her face, it was difficult to notice any abnormality.After work, the Valor family's driver was there to pick her up in the Maybach again. "Miss Lewis, Mr. Valor asked me to pick you up," the driver t
The court would meet in a few days. Serenity felt powerless.When she snapped back to her senses, she found that the driver had brought her to a boutique where Jackson had taken her previously.She asked the driver, "Why are we here?" The driver replied, "Mr. Valor is waiting inside." Serenity said no more. She climbed out of the car and went inside.As soon as Serenity entered the boutique, the manager greeted her. "Ms. Lewis, I presume? Please come with me."Serenity followed the manager to a room on the second floor where Jackson was waiting for her on a sofa.On a hanger next to him hung a beautiful light purple evening gown adorned with white and dark purple crystals, giving the gown an elegant and classic feel."Try on this dress. I'd like you to come with me to a banquet tonight," said Jackson."A banquet?" Serenity was surprised."No need to worry, it's just a regular banquet," Jackson reassured her. Serenity had gone to banquets with Jackson before, but she didn'
"Does it matter whether I like it or not?" she asked."Of course it does. If you don't like it, we'll pick another one," he spoke softly, as though she was a princess he held dear.As if she was really important to him!Serenity remained dazed for a moment. He kept giving her a false impression that they hadn't broken up yet. "Then, if I don't want to play this sibling game anymore, will you stop?" she suddenly asked. His eyes darkened slightly, but he still gave her a small smile and said, "Don't even think about it. It's never going to happen!" He wanted her to stay with him forever and be his one and only Sis.He could give her everything she wanted, except for two things – her freedom and his love!Although Jackson said it was just a regular banquet, it was actually a rather grand event.Many famous people from Solaria attended, even some whom Serenity had only seen in the news before.When Serenity walked into the banquet hall with Jackson, many eyes were drawn to th
