"Ms. Quest, who is he?" Godfrey Longwell asked."Yeah. Tell him." Terry looked at Lisa, "Who am I?" The two men kept their gaze pinned on Lisa, their gazes almost piercing through her!One was the blind date her mother had forcibly arranged, and the other was her new revengeful boyfriend, both of whom she should not offend!After careful consideration, the blind date her mother introduced was the lesser of the two. Lisa decided to keep Terry happy, so she turned to Godfrey with a sheepish smile."Ah, I almost forgot the introduction. Mr. Longwell, meet my boyfriend, uh, Mr. White."Godfrey's face turned ugly at that. "Boyfriend? You have a boyfriend?!""Y-yeah..." Lisa responded, feeling guilty. No matter how strange and awkward Godfrey had been, it was her fault in this case.Godfrey trembled in a fury, his face beet red as he cursed at her. "I kindly came to have a blind date with you, but you're actually taken! That's too much! You must give me an explanation! Are you playi

Lisa almost choked at his words. Cheating?! What the heck! She was not dating any one of them, okay?Lisa thought about it and decided to explain it to Terry curtly. "Hey... My mom was the one who forced me into this. She insisted on the blind date. If I didn't show up, she said she’d cut off relations with me. I wanted to tell him about you, but he interrupted me."Lisa was technically not lying about this."Your mother forced you on the blind date?" He raised his eyebrows. "Y-yeah!" Lisa smiled sheepishly. Her mother's strength in forcing her to blind date was beyond the charts. She could not fight back at all."So, you haven't told your family about me?" Terry questioned with a dangerous glint in his eyes.Lisa felt weak. Tell her parents? How could she tell them?! Besides, Terry's identity alone would scare her parents especially when... She was just going through the motions. Besides, her relationship with Terry seemed kind of fruitless. "Well, our relationship was too su

Lisa looked like a hungry little pig. As Terry was unfamiliar with the restaurants in the area, Lisa gladly took him to one of her favorite restaurants."They have some special dishes here. You won't find them in any other place." Once they got a seat in the restaurant, Lisa took the menu and ordered with great enthusiasm.While ordering, she passionately introduced the best dishes served in the restaurant. Halfway through, she found Terry looking at her with a deep gaze."Ah, sorry. I’ve spoken too much," Lisa said."Don't worry about it. Carry on. I'm listening," Terry said flatly.Lisa rubbed her nose, suddenly feeling lost for words. Not knowing what to say, Lisa spontaneously blurted out, "So, what brings you here today?" She wished she had bitten her tongue the moment she said that. It had been so hard for them to get past the topic of her blind date earlier. Why had she led the conversation back to the topic?! Sure enough, Terry looked up at her and said, "If I hadn't c

"I'm just thinking..." Lisa suddenly jolted, her gaze locked on Terry while her train of thoughts ran through her head. Terry was the current head of the White family. He naturally had connections and contacts in his hands. If Terry would help her look into Serenity's case, she might have an easier time getting some useful leads compared to looking alone.Lisa's eyes sparkled at that thought. Her gaze on Terry became even more intense, and she looked at him like he was some great treasure in the world."Hey... I know I did something wrong to you back then. I admit all my mistakes. I promise to do what you say, but umm... While we're dating, can you do me a small favor?" Lisa looked at Terry with hopeful eyes."A favor?" Terry seemed a little intrigued. "What kind of small favor do you need?" Looking at Lisa's expectant look, he could tell that this favor might not be as small as she made it seem."Umm, remember my friend Serenity? The lady who came to me with Jackson. She was con

Terry was a little stunned at her actions, his gaze fixed on her hands on his. Lisa was grabbing his hands so tightly, expressing her unconcealed joy.Terry glanced up to see her beaming. He suddenly felt a little jealous. Lisa was not smiling because of him. It was for Serenity. Lisa clearly prioritized Serenity much more than him!***Lucas leaned back in his seat inside the car, his hand gently rubbing his temples slightly.Lucas's secretary, Blake Hamer, was in the car with Lucas. He received a phone call and said to Lucas, "Mr. Gomez, Ms. Lewis is at the jewelry store. She has her eyes on a set of jewelry worth 3 million dollars. Would you like Ms. Lewis to have it?"The highly valued jewelry at 3 million dollars was a tremendous amount, so the jewelry store owner had called to inquire.Lucas said indifferently, "Since she has chosen, let her have it.""Yes," Blake responded and aptly passed the message to the jewelry store owner. Blake found Aria too materialistic and su

Lucas initially treated Aria as a substitute for the little girl in his childhood because her lips resembled those of the girl he remembered. Later, his purpose had gradually changed. Listening to Aria tell him something about Serenity would calm him down whenever he was in a bad mood even though Serenity was not the little girl who had saved him back then.Maybe it was because of Serenity's features. Serenity somehow resembled the little girl in his memory, which made Lucas treat Serenity especially. Whenever he saw her, he could not resist wanting to get closer to her.Even so... Serenity was the person Jackson wanted. No need for him to sever his relationship with Jackson for a woman. After all...Serenity was not the one he truly wanted to find.Lucas instinctively looked toward the street as the car drove across a familiar road. He was subconsciously looking at the uniformed sanitation workers by the road.Lucas knew Serenity was in charge of cleaning this particular road. The

Aria wore the necklace that was worth 3 million dollars with a face full of joy. She felt that her worth was equivalent to this 3-million-dollar necklace and that she was no longer someone ordinary.Aria had joined a new production crew and was playing the leading role. Although the director of this production was not as renowned as the previous one, overall, it was not bad. As the leading actress, she was quite satisfied with the resources Lucas provided.Aria was sure that as long as she was good to Lucas, good opportunities would be abundant. However, something was frustrating her. Whenever Lucas asked her out, he would ask her to tell him about Serenity. She had almost told him everything she knew.Aria felt uneasy sometimes. It was as if Lucas still let her hang on as his girlfriend to hear her talk about Serenity. However, knowing that Serenity had hooked up with Jackson, it was unlikely for Lucas to get involved with Serenity.Aria had asked around and heard about Lucas's st

Sure enough, when the women who had been vying for Lucas's attention saw Aria's necklace and listened to her words, strong jealousy and envy rose in their eyes. Finally, they walked away in defeat.Aria had a victorious smile, knowing she had achieved her goal. Seeing that the people around had left, Aria murmured to Lucas, "Lucas, I hope you won't be angry with me for wanting such an expensive necklace at the jewelry store."Aria behaved coyly, her teeth biting her lower lip in a pitiful but lovable look. As an actress, she knew what kind of expression she needed to appear softer and likable. "I just wanted to make myself more worthy of you. I don't want to embarrass you when I'm standing next to you," she explained.Lucas looked at the woman in front of him with pensive eyes. Worthy of him? Did Aria think she was worthy of him? Just by dressing up with jewelry and designer labels? In that case, countless women would be worthy of him. Lucas was certain this time. Other than her l

Aria became more excited at the thought of that. As she undressed him, her fingers touched a hard object. Leaning in for a closer look, she saw the silver bracelet Lucas often carried with him.Lucas held the silver bracelet close to his chest. Aria stared at the silver bracelet in a daze, lost in thought. 'This bracelet... It's just an ordinary and plain bracelet. What's so important about it? Why does he wear it like this? He's treating it like a precious treasure.'Aria picked up the bracelet and held it closer to get a better look. The very next moment, a strong hand grabbed her hand. She instinctively let go of the bracelet as a sharp pain hit her wrist.Aria gasped in pain. Then, she met a pair of cold eyes.Lucas was obviously a little drunk, but in this instance, his sharp eyes seemed to show no sign of drunkenness. His eyes were frighteningly clear."You can't touch this!" His voice was bone-chilling."I-I won't touch it again! I was just trying to help you to change y

Meanwhile, Aria was staring at the painting in front of her, her eyes full of disbelief.Aria had wanted to go in and have a look when she passed by the studio the last time, but Lucas had stopped her from going in. Having the chance this time, she could not resist the temptation anymore. Aria curiously pushed the door to the studio open and went in only to see the last thing she would have expected to see here—a painting with Serenity's face. Not the adult Serenity, but the young Serenity.The painting showed a little girl carrying a little boy on her back. The little girl was the young Serenity. Serenity had looked just like that when she was a child.Aria remembered the floral dress on the little girl. She had seen a similar dress in Serenity's photo album before.What the heck was going on? Why was the young Serenity on the painting in Lucas's studio? What was Lucas's relationship with Serenity?Aria had so many doubts in her mind. An overwhelming panic consumed her all at o
