Clara asked, "What's wrong? You ate so little. Is today's food not to your liking?" The restaurant would usually ask the chefs to cook something for the restaurant staff during off-peak hours and they would have lunch together."Oh, that's not it. I probably ate too much before I came to work this morning so I'm not that hungry." Serenity looked at Yanny and said, "Don't mind me. I'll feed Yanny some fruit."Serenity grabbed an apple, peeled it, and cut it into small pieces to feed Yanny.Yanny obediently opened his mouth and ate the apple one piece at a time. He occasionally gave Serenity a smile.After eating the apple, he felt sleepy and yawned. He spread his hands, asking for a hug.Serenity picked him up and gently lulled him to sleep.Although he could not actually hear her soft hum, he gently touched her lips with his tender fingers, as if he was trying hard to sense her voice.After a while, he fell asleep. Looking at the sleeping baby, Serenity's nose tingled. He was su

"By the way, you haven't been here for a long time, so everyone in the office misses you. Good thing you became a delivery woman. We can see you whenever we want now," said Liliana as she led Serenity into the law firm, "Since you're here, don't tell me you won't come in to say hi to your old co-workers."Serenity looked at Liliana flatly. Of course she knew what Liliana was playing at.In that case, she would face the challenge directly. If she tried to avoid it, she would look pathetic."Sure, I'll go in and say hi," Serenity said nonchalantly.Her attitude surprised Liliana. It was not what she wanted to see.Once inside, Liliana clapped a few times to attract everyone's attention and said, "Everybody, look over here. Our old co-worker, Serenity, is back."Many people in the office looked over upon hearing that.Serenity looked around and saw that some of them were old colleagues that she knew and some of them were new."Lily, is she someone who used to work here? Where is s

The one who provided the answer was naturally Liliana. Liliana deliberately raised her voice and told the story of how Serenity went to jail for drunk driving and killing someone...Serenity shrugged. Liliana must be trying to humiliate Serenity because Serenity used to be better than Liliana in everything back when Serenity was a lawyer. As expected, you can only see the true nature of people around you when you're down on your luck.When Serenity reached the elevator, she heard a sudden rush of footsteps behind her. A voice called out to her, "Serenity, wait!"Serenity turned around and saw a man running over. He stopped in front of her and stared at her with complicated eyes.He was a man in his 30s with medium build and a decent-looking face. He was in a suit and was dressed the way an elite white collar worker in the city would normally dress."Can I help you?" Serenity asked her former co-worker, James Holt. He used to be her partner in the firm. There were rumors that he

In the past, when the staff at the law firm went out for dinner, she would take the trouble to remind her drunken colleagues not to drive and to get a substitute driver.How could such a person possibly drive under influence?He believed she must have been wrongly accused. Yet, he did not have the courage to help her prove her innocence even though he was a lawyer!He was afraid that the water in her case would run too deep. He was afraid of going up against Jackson Valor.In Solaria, no one dared to offend Jackson Valor!Serenity could only blame her luck!Over the next few days, Jackson's secretary would place a large order every day at noon. As usual, Serenity was responsible for delivering the order.And then... Jackson would make her stay for lunch.Serenity had already told Jackson several times that she hoped he would stop doing that.But every time, he would just raise his eyebrows and ask with a smile, "Do you hate having lunch with me? I just want to have lunch with

But seeing how happy Clara was, Serenity could only sigh and put the takeouts on the electric scooter.She could only tell herself that, with more takeouts sold, Clara would be able to earn more and would be able to give Yanny a cochlear implant sooner.Serenity's heart ached for Yanny. It was so unfortunate that a lovely child would have such a disability. Moreover, Serenity had never seen his father being around.Yanny's family name was Wells like Clara, so Serenity could tell that Clara must be a single mother.Being a single mother was not easy.Serenity rode the electric scooter to the Valor Group. The security guards there were already very familiar with Serenity. The moment Serenity arrived, they immediately helped her move all the food onto the trolley and even helped her push the trolley into the building all the way to the elevator. They were even thoughtful enough to help her press the elevator button.The receptionist also greeted Serenity with a smile. She even bowed

Serenity pursed her lips. She did not know how to answer that. She could only open the lunch box and bury her head in it.Jackson's eyes were fixated on Serenity. He tried to keep her by his side time and time again. It was almost a habit by now.He did not want her to leave. He kept thinking of how he could make her stay willingly.He did not know when he started eagerly anticipating having lunch with her every day. He was happy just getting to eat with her, even if the atmosphere could be pretty quiet sometimes.Now that he thought about it, the days of him being "Jack" were probably the happiest days of his life. At least, back then, she would talk and laugh with him, treat him like an ordinary person, dry his hair intimately, and call him "Jack" over and over again.Jack... Jack...She had no idea how much he wanted to hear her call him that again. Back then, whenever she called his name, it was as if she was calling out to her most important family member.Serenity finished

"Thanks," Serenity took the book and said."I'm the one who should be thanking you," said Clara, "Yanny doesn't communicate much with strangers. Because he can't hear or speak, people are also reluctant to communicate with him. I'm so glad you're willing to learn sign language to communicate with him.""Yanny is very lovable. He also seems to like me a lot. Maybe we're fated to be friends," said Serenity.Fate... Clara looked like she was going to say something, but in the end, she simply said, "Yeah... maybe it's fate.""I'll see you tomorrow then, Clara," said Serenity."Yeah, see you tomorrow." Clara waited for Serenity to leave before she locked the door and went to the small residence at the back of the restaurant. Her son was lying on the bed and had already fallen asleep. Mrs. Wells was gently patting the baby's back."Is he asleep?" Clara asked softly. Even though she knew her son could not actually hear her, she still lowered her voice subconsciously."Yeah, he just fel

At the moment, the atmosphere in the ward was quiet. No one made a sound. She could tell that Master Zack was observing her very seriously, but there also seemed to be a bit of disdain and disgust in his eyes.Next to Master Zack, in addition to a nurse, was the man who brought her here. He claimed to be Master Zack's personal secretary."Do you know why I brought you here?" After a while, Master Zack finally broke the silence."I know," answered Serenity, "It's because of Jackson, right?" She would be lying if she said she wasn't nervous and apprehensive on the way here, but now that she had arrived and had seen the disdain in Master Zack's eyes, she managed to calm down for some reason.She had already been through the worst possible experience. How bad could this be?Master Zack harrumphed. "I'm glad you know that!""What do you want to say to me?" Serenity went straight to the point. She was tired, so she did not want to beat around the bush."I can't believe he would let yo

Didn't she choose to study law in order to uphold justice? But now, she could not even uphold justice for herself."A wise decision," the man laughed and said.Serenity's hands clenched into fists. So this is what it felt like to be powerless!The closer the dagger moved towards her face, the harder she trembled. She abruptly ducked under the man's arm and dashed towards the door of the ward.When she opened the door, she was grabbed and held down by the two bodyguards who were guarding the door.The man walked up to Serenity and mocked, "I thought you had guts, but it turns out you were just waiting for an opportunity to run away. But, like you said, you can't escape."Yes, she could not escape, but even if she was just a lamb waiting for slaughter, she wanted to give herself a chance to fight back.Serenity was dragged back into the ward once more. When the dagger was going to cut her face for real this time, the door was suddenly kicked open.A figure walked in and went stra

In the past, Jackson would never leave the Valor Residence in the evening on this day no matter what. He would stay in front of his father's portrait the whole night to remind himself not to repeat his father's mistake.He would do this every year.But this evening, things have changed!Jackson led Serenity out of the hospital.A black car was at the entrance of the hospital. After getting into the car, Serenity still felt like everything that happened was a dream. She thought this evening would become a nightmare, but surprisingly, he showed up."Scared?" He asked while holding her hand. Even now, her hand was still slightly trembling.Serenity bit her lower lip, then nodded her head. Yes, how can she not be scared? Her fate was completely left in the hands of others. She felt so powerless.As if a single word from others could determine her life and death."I got careless today," Jackson said, "I thought the old man wouldn't touch you so quickly. He's more anxious than I tho
