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
Joy found out from Zeke later that Jackson Valor was protecting Serenity and that he was responsible for all her sufferings.Her family feared retaliation from Jackson, so they sent her abroad. Despite being out of the country, she kept up with Serenity's news.She was informed that Serenity had moved out of the Valor Residence and was now renting a small apartment. Serenity was currently working as a paralegal in a law firm. Joy concluded that Serenity must have been dumped by Jackson Valor, so she hurried back to the country.She planned to get her revenge on Serenity soon. She wanted to cripple one of Serenity's legs too to make herself feel better. She did not expect to run into Serenity at this banquet."Who's your sugar daddy now? Did you come here to try and seduce Jackson Valor again? Know your place, Serenity Lewis. Jackson Valor has lost all interest in you. Without him, you're nothing. People like you shouldn't be here," Joy's words were scathing.Serenity ignored Joy
Since he had made that decision, he would not regret it!Marrying Jenny was the best move for the Shaw family. "Alright, let's go say hi to Mr. Wagner and the others over there," Zeke suggested to stop the women from arguing.However, Joy would not let off. "What? How can you let her bad-mouth the Hall family and not say anything? Aren't you going to stand up for Jenny?""That's enough. Haven't you learned your lesson yet?" Zeke admonished. "Jackson Valor already dumped her! She's nothing more than a used rag now!" Joy spoke loudly on purpose, wanting everyone within earshot to hear her.The people in the vicinity did look over. Some of them looked at Joy with curiosity and sympathy, but Joy didn't pay them any heed. She thought the sympathy was directed at Serenity.Joy got even more excited. "I don't get Jackson Valor at all. Why would he want a woman you dumped, Zeke? But now – surprise surprise – he's lost all interest in her. By the way, Serenity Lewis, I heard when you w
Zeke panicked and quickly apologized to Jackson. "Mr. Valor, it's all a misunderstanding. Joy... is immature. She doesn't know any better. Please forgive her." He then scolded Joy, who was still on the ground looking bewildered, telling her to apologize immediately.Joy felt that it was so unfair! She was the one who was hit, but she had to apologize?!However, the other party was Jackson Valor, so she had no choice but to lower her head. After all, the Shaw family was nothing compared to him!Joy was informed that Serenity had moved out of the Valor Residence and was now living in a small rented apartment. Then why was Jackson Valor still protecting her? Didn't he already dump her?Wait. Did Jackson Valor... bring Serenity to this banquet?!Joy had so many questions, but no one could provide any answers.She got up from the ground looking unhappy and was about to say sorry, but Serenity interrupted and said, "Save it. I don't need your apology." Joy was confused. What's the me
