Grayson seemed alarmed. He said angrily, "That good-for-nothing daughter! She dragged our family down when she went to jail, and now she wants to harm our family again!"He spent a lot of money and curried many favors to rise to the supervisor position!And now, he had been demoted to an ordinary employee. Of course he could not accept it!Catherine was furious too. She looked as if she wanted to look for Serenity and tear her to pieces."Mom, Dad, calm down. Serenity has Jackson Valor’s support now. We can't do anything reckless," persuaded Aria. She had learned that lesson the hard way!Grayson and Catherine agreed. Catherine asked, "Then what should we do? Are we just gonna do nothing?""I'll think of something," said Aria. She had to think about how to deal with Serenity carefully. She could not let Serenity become more and more important to Lucas.Otherwise, even if Jackson cast Serenity aside one day, Serenity could just take Aria's place as Lucas' girlfriend!Aria absolu

Did she become like this because her harsh life had taught her the importance of money?Seeing Serenity's gloomy expression, Lisa suddenly hugged her. "Serenity, all these years, I've always felt bad that I couldn't do anything to help you. Even though I know that you're innocent, I couldn't help you find any evidence to overturn the case."She had kept these words buried in her heart for a long time."When you were in prison, I couldn't do anything for you except to say some things to comfort you when I visited. I really hate that feeling. Now that we have a clue, I'll definitely help you uncover the truth. You don't have to feel like you owe me anything."Lisa's voice was racked with guilt."Lisa, if you hadn't visited me in prison from time to time and worked relentlessly to prove my innocence, I don't think I could have made it through prison. So don't think your words of comfort were insignificant. Those words gave me the courage to keep living," Serenity hugged her best frie

She could only remember the first three letters and the last number of the car’s license plate.Serenity felt cold all over. What the hell was going on? Who were the people in the car? Why did they take Lisa away?Lisa...Was it an abduction? Or was it... Serenity took out her cell phone. She wanted to call Lisa, but she was afraid that she might put Lisa in danger.Her hand started to tremble. The trembling got so bad that she could barely hold her phone.She struggled to call the police, but eventually managed to do so.After calling the police, she ran to the parking lot management office. There were surveillance monitors there. They must have surveillance footage of Lisa getting abducted.Lisa... please be safe! Please!That was the only thing Serenity could think of.When Jackson received Serenity's call, he could hear sobbing on the other end.That instantly alarmed him. "What's wrong? Say something!""Jack, can you help me find Lisa? I beg you, please help me find Li

She shivered and raised her head stiffly. Her wet eyes slowly gained focus."Jack, help me find Lisa." She seemed to have come back to her senses. She said in a hurry, "The police said they'll send people to look for her, but who knows when they'll find her! I wish I memorized the license plate. Why didn't I memorize the license plate?"Her voice was heavy with guilt.Jackson had only seen Serenity this anxious once before – when her grandmother fell ill.But her grandmother was her family, and Lisa was not. And yet, Serenity cared so much about Lisa.He suddenly felt jealous of Lisa. If something happened to him, would Serenity be this anxious for him too?"Let's go back first. It's cold outside," he said, "Your hands are freezing."It's cold? She didn't even realize that it was cold. Lisa was the only thing in her mind."Then... will you help me find Lisa?" she asked, wanting a definite answer from him. The police could only wait, but... if he was willing to help, surely she

His chest felt tight.Since when had he ever felt bad about making a woman worried and scared? She seemed to be the only one who could make him feel this way.Jackson sighed. He sighed because he had no choice but to compromise. He took out his phone and made a call. "Help me find someone. I need to know where this person is and whether she’s safe... Her name is Lisa Quest. She was taken away in a car this afternoon. The car is..."Jackson handed the phone to Serenity and gestured at her to speak.Serenity immediately understood. She quickly said, "It's a black Maybach. The license plate is..."She told the person the part of the license plate she could remember, the address of the parking lot, and other details like what time the incident occurred.When Serenity was done, Jackson told the person in the phone, "That's all. I want to know Lisa Quest's whereabouts as soon as possible!"After ending the call, Jackson looked at Serenity and said, "Okay, can we go back now?"She fol

Jackson said no more. He straightened up, closed the door, went around to the driver's seat and started the car.Serenity was surprised to see Jackson drive the car himself. He usually let his driver drive him.But because he was driving, she was able to look at his side profile.From the side, the contours of his face seemed even more well-defined, especially his high nasal bridge and his sexy thin lips.His hair was messier than usual. A few strands of his hair had dropped onto his forehead. This made him look more like the Jack she knew.Jack... The name gave her a complicated feeling. Just now, she kept calling him Jack because she wasn't thinking straight.Was it because she subconsciously thought that Jack could help her and Jackson Valor could not?But in reality, Jack and Jackson Valor were the same person!And he was the only person she could turn to for help. The police were also searching for Lisa, but... she would like to have more people searching for Lisa, just in

He wanted her eyes to be filled with only his presence."If you want to know immediately, you can wait with me. My men will inform me right away when they find Lisa," said Jackson.Of course that would not be a problem for Serenity, but... wait with him? Wait where? Serenity blinked while wondering that. Five minutes later, she finally found out where they would be waiting.In his room!Although this was not her first time in his room, it was the first time she came in through the front door instead of the door that connected the two rooms.Right after they walked into the room, Jackson took off his jacket. He also took out his phone and put it on the table.Serenity was surprised to see the phone because it was the phone that she bought for him – the outdated model which she bought at a discount. Most people had a better phone than that.He still kept the phone around?Well, if he didn't, he wouldn't have picked it up instantly when she called him earlier.But while she was

The upper half of his body... was completely naked!"You–– " She blushed profusely. Her eyes were still closed. She did not dare to open them lest she saw something that she shouldn't."Won't you open your eyes?" His voice was so pleasing to the ear. It sounded like the devil's temptation.However, Serenity kept her eyes closed. She urged him with a blush, "Hurry up and put on some clothes.""But I want you to look at me," he said, "Besides, I helped you out today, and you won't even look at me?"Serenity's body stiffened. She subconsciously bit her lip and let out a small cry of pain when she accidentally touched the bite wound.She could hear him chuckle. Then, she felt the sensation of his touch on her lip. "Do you know how cute you looked just now?"Cute?But before she could react, she felt something else on her lips. It was... his lips!He was kissing her!Serenity opened her eyes in surprise. She stared at the face right before her eyes in astonishment. She could not e

He ignored her request. He simply stared at her and asked, "Would you hurt me, Sis?"Her entire body shook, and her throat tightened. The words she wanted to say got stuck in her throat.He stared at her fixedly with eyes that tried to see through her."Was that a difficult question?" he asked when she remained silent for a long time. "It's okay if you're unwilling to answer that, but I still want to tell you–– "He slowly bent down until his mouth was next to her ear. He whispered, "Never hurt me, understand?"As long as she did not hurt him, he would spoil her and give her everything she ever wanted. He would protect her for the rest of her life and keep her safe and sound.As long as she did not hurt him!Serenity sat uneasily in the large room. She checked the time on her phone from time to time, wondering how much longer she had to wait to hear news of her best friend.Jackson had changed into casual attire. He was currently sitting on the sofa and reading some reports.

"The CEO of the White Maple Group and the current head of the White family," replied Jackson. He then looked at Serenity curiously, "You don't know who he is? Has Lisa not mentioned him before?"Serenity shook her head. She was sure that she had never heard her best friend mention the name Terry White before.However, she had heard of the White Maple Group before. It was not a local company but it had business dealings in Solaria. It was a famous shipping company.But how did Lisa get involved with this Terry White guy? What puzzled Serenity even more was the fact that Terry White personally took Lisa away.Terry White was in the Maybach that she saw earlier?Serenity thought her best friend was abducted, but that did not seem to be the case now."I'll go look for her!" Serenity turned around abruptly. She wanted to go to the address she just heard to find her best friend."You think you can get in?" Jackson asked flatly."......" Serenity halted. After hesitating for a moment,
