Lisa blinked her eyes. What? Was he not planning to return her phone?"You want me to pay you?" Lisa felt silly as soon as the words left her mouth. With Terry's status, would he even care about her money?Sure enough, Terry was looking at Lisa with a slight smile as if she was an idiot.Lisa took a deep breath. "So, what do you want?" Lisa knew that this would not be easy and reckoned that Terry was trying to use her phone to vent about what she had done three years ago. Resigned to her fate, she decided to let him vent his anger."Have you been dating over the past three years?" Terry asked.Lisa shook her head, puzzled by his question."Have you ever liked anyone?" he asked again.'Oh...' Lisa had lost count of how many idols and celebrities she liked. Seeing Terry's expressionless face, Lisa almost intuitively shook her head again."Speaking of which, didn't you say you'd be glad to have a boyfriend like me?" Terry mentioned seemingly nonchalantly.Lisa almost choked on he

Lisa's red face turned white, and her lips trembled slightly. Finally, she uttered, "Sorry."After all, Lisa was the one who had given Terry all those empty promises."You should feel very sorry for me," Terry said.There was then a brooding silence in the car. After some time, they arrived at their destination. Lisa followed Terry out of the car only to find herself at the same villa yesterday.Lisa stopped dead in her tracks when she remembered how Terry had detained her last night. "What's wrong? Are you afraid to go in?" Terry turned to Lisa.Lisa's lips twitched slightly. She managed a smile. "If you have something to say, let's say it outside."Terry said with a half-smile, "Lisa, if I wanted to, I have many ways to detain you. I swear it would not be easy for Jackson to take you away this time."Lisa was stunned. After a short hesitation, she ground her teeth and mustered her courage. Did he think she was afraid of him? Even if Terry wanted to harm her, Lisa had no powe

"It's... delicious." Lisa's words almost got caught in her throat, and her mouth was filled with the taste of the cocktail.The glass of cocktail was meant to be savored slowly, but she had finished it in one go."Tell me, Terry. What do you want for me? How do you plan to vent your anger?"Lisa became bolder and spoke louder, perhaps under the influence of alcohol.Terry's gaze darkened. "You'll pay me back for what you owed me back then."She cocked her head, her round eyes wide open at him. She seemed lost in her thoughts. "I just have to pay you back for what I owe you, then?""Yes," Terry said.Lisa got to her feet and shook her head. It seemed like the alcohol was getting to her. Her head felt a little dizzy all of a sudden.Sure enough, the cocktail was still as strong as ever. Lisa became bolder because of the alcohol and could do things she would not normally do.Lisa pulled the zipper of her jacket down and started to take off her coat.Terry narrowed his eyes. Seei

Terry had revealed to Lisa that he was an illegitimate child. Hearing that, Lisa had smiled heartily."So what? You are you. You're unique in this world. A man's achievement isn't determined by his birth but by hard work.""Don't you find my birth disgraceful?"How had Lisa answered him at that time? Lisa had given him a serious answer. "I think your parents are very irresponsible toward marriage. They should have gotten married after having children. If they didn't plan to get married, they should have kept their distance from each other or taken precautions from the beginning. Isn't there a saying that a relationship without a plan to get married is just dishonorable?" It was Terry's first time hearing someone's comment about his parents.However, did she know? There were other reasons behind his parent's relationship without a plan for marriage. How much personal interest was involved in their decision? For his father, marriage was just a matter of choosing the right woman a

Terry looked at Lisa's sleeping face and took her hand in his.He had found her! She no longer existed only in his memory. She had actually appeared in front of him again!"You promised today. I won't allow you to go back on your word." Terry's whisper rang in the quiet room, the sound of her rhythmic breathing the only response to him.***Serenity returned to Valor Residenc after the interview. The interview was actually quite simple for her. The interview only looked at her health report and asked her some basic questions.Even though she was prepared for this, she was still nervous when the interviewer then asked why a law graduate like her wanted to be a delivery driver. She tried her best to explain in simple words and shared how her lawyer license had gotten revoked because she had been in jail for a traffic accident.The interviewer had not asked any further questions after that. He told her to go back and wait for the notice. At that instance, Serenity knew that she migh

Serenity was shocked. "What did you just say?""Didn't you hear me clearly, Sis?" Jackson repeated with a look of patience, "I was saying, if you don't like the company, it would be better to get rid of that company."Jackson spoke as if he was talking about something ordinary. But... Getting rid of the company?!Serenity was shocked. Had she understood it correctly? That company was a newcomer in the food delivery industry. Although it was not as big as the well-known companies in the industry, the company had had good momentum lately. Serenity had seen the recent news, and according to the news report, the company had successfully raised 2.5 billion dollars in a funding round led by some venture capitalists.How could such a company be dissolved so easily? But... If it was Jackson, then even the impossible would become possible."Just because I don't like it?" She asked, staring blankly at Jackson.Jackson smiled. "I don't like people who betray you, Sis. Even if I don't take

Where... Where was she?She was initially still dazed and confused, but then memories of what had happened earlier flooded her mind, and that made her sit up straight frantically.She... She had taken that cocktail and gotten drunk again!"Are you up?" she heard a voice ask her. Lisa froze, then slowly turned to her side. Sure enough, she saw Terry sitting on the sofa next to the bed, and his eyes were fixed on her."Yeah..." she answered awkwardly. "I'm up..."She then hastily climbed off the bed and checked her clothes. Seeing that they were all intact, she thought perhaps nothing happened after all. But just in case, she decided to ask him anyway."I didn't do anything after getting drunk, did I?""You did a lot of things," Terry replied nonchalantly. "Where do you want me to begin?"Lisa's jaw dropped. A lot of things... What exactly had she done?! Everything was a blur after she had gotten drunk last night. She could not remember anything at all! At least the last time i

"Fine," Lisa sighed, sounding as if she was resigned to her fate. If this was how he was going to get revenge, then at the very least, she was mentally prepared for it, so it would not be too bad in the end. "Can you, um... give me back my phone now?"She had not forgotten that the main reason why she had followed him to the mansion was to get her phone back.He scrutinized her for a few moments before picking up the phone on the nightstand and tossing it to her."Ah!" She yelped as she narrowly caught her phone in her hands. This phone had cost her a fortune and she had to save up for ages before she could afford it! If it really fell and broke the screen, she'd have to spend hundreds of dollars to fix it! It hurt her even thinking about it!Besides, if it did break, she would never dare to ask him to pay for the damages, anyway!Lisa then turned on her phone and noticed that it was already 9 pm. There were also several missed calls from her parents, so she called them right aw

Lisa was well-aware that she had a weakness for handsome men. She'd fall in love with this idol one day and a different one the next day, her adoration as fickle as the weather, but when it was all said and done, her love for each and every one of her favorite idols had always been serious and sincere!Each time when she was in love with a certain idol, she would be his most loyal and die-hard fan. She would never hesitate to spend money to go to his concerts, get his autograph, and do everything a fan would do. If the particular idol held a fan meeting, she was sure to attend.But all this happened before Serenity got into trouble, of course. She did not chase after celebrities as much as she did anymore because most of her time was spent finding a way to help her friend overturn the court's conviction.Because of this, all the recordings of her going to concerts, autograph sessions, and fan meetings were precious memorabilia of her idyllic youth. Yet now, all these beautiful memor

Lisa had not recovered from the shock yet when she got home. Was she really dating Terry White now? She had been wondering about the ways that this man might try to get revenge, but she never thought that this would be his way of doing it!She was not that experienced in dating, but either way, she decided that all she had to do was follow Terry's lead. If that was not good enough, she would just consult her TV dramas for guidance.The only problem was that he... wanted her to fall in love with him.Would he dump her as soon as she fell in love with him, then? Lisa shook her head helplessly. In any case, she would just date him for a few months and then pretend that she had fallen in love with him. When he dumped her, she would act as if she was completely heartbroken, and then the whole affair would be over.She sighed heavily as she thought of this. Never would she ever think that her first experience in dating someone would be this way. But then when she remembered how she feare
