Everyone at the design firm thought it was true. After all, Shen Ziyu was quite a catch while Qin Lianyi was just a nobody at the design firm. She came from an ordinary family background and had ordinary looks as well. It was quite normal for her to be interested in a man like Shen Ziyu.After what happened yesterday, many colleagues were on Zhou Jiewen's side.Many felt that even though Zhou Jiewen and Shen Ziyu were keeping their relationship low-key without anyone knowing, Qin Lianyi should not try to steal him away.However, who would have thought Qin Lianyi's boyfriend would be Bai Tingxin, the president of Bai Feng Group!If they compared Bai Tingxin and Shen Ziyu, were the results not obvious? Bai Tingxin won in every way!If Qin Lianyi had a boyfriend like Bai Tingxin and still seduced Shen Ziyu... That was impossible, no?Immediately, many colleagues who had been partial to Zhou Jiewen and Shen Ziyu changed the way they looked at them and began to wonder if things were n

Terry spun around and turned to Gavin. After a short moment of silence, he chuckled. "I see. It must have been a misunderstanding, then."Gavin's face flushed red at Terry's look of contempt and dismissive tone. Terry was clearly insinuating that Gavin was beneath him, but Gavin could not argue.Terry turned to Lisa again. "Just tell me if there are any other misunderstandings. Don't let people think you don't have a boyfriend."After saying that, Terry even patted Lisa's head affectionately. For a moment, Lisa felt like she was basking in the shining spotlight, attracting more envious eyes.Lisa had a problem with this. Terry was going to break up with her eventually! The more people envied her, the more they would mock her later.Lisa's face turned miserable, feeling like she was in a real pickle.***The meeting ended awkwardly with many people either envious or embarrassed. Once the meeting was over, Jessica and Gavin hastily left the meeting room. Those who had mocked Lisa

Terry was still in a relationship with Lisa. Therefore rumors of Lisa's involvement with another man would only be embarrassing for him.Terry did not seem to realize the consequence of his action. His relationship announcement would only get her into more trouble. She would have to find another job by the time they broke up.Lisa chuckled at her train of thought. Revenge had always been Terry's goal. The more miserable she was, the happier he would be."Fine, I get it. I don't think anyone will get the wrong idea about me liking Jessica's boyfriend anymore," Lisa said.Terry knitted his brows slightly. For some reason, he felt uncomfortable with the way she spoke. Her tone felt like an invisible barrier and a widening distance between them."You don't like what I'm doing?" Terry asked, narrowing his eyes slightly."No, not really. You're my boyfriend. It's the right thing to do." Lisa smiled. "Besides, what you did today made Jessica and Gavin look bad in front of everyone. It m

Serenity had a vague answer in her mind, but her guess was so crazy and seemingly unbelievable.As she was pondering over it, her phone rang. Serenity looked at the caller. It was Clara's number, so she answered it."Serenity! Yanny will be out of the hospital tomorrow. Can you come to work the day after tomorrow? I'd like to clean up the restaurant the day after tomorrow and reopen the next day," Clara informed."Alright, sure," Serenity responded. Speaking of which, it was rare for her to have such a long break ever since she had gotten out of prison."Great," Clara responded. "By the way, Yanny wants to speak to you. Try and say something to him."Serenity was stunned for a moment. She then spoke into the phone, "Yanny? Hi! It’s Aunt Serene. Can you hear me?""I'll be seeing you again the day after tomorrow. I'll tell you lots of stories once you can understand and speak, okay?"Serenity knew Yanny probably would not understand a word she was saying. Even so, she was full of

Serenity stared blankly at the man in front of her. She had heard rumors about Jackson's influence in Solaria before, but his actions lately seemed to have demonstrated the correctness of that impression.It was, after all, a big shopping mall demolition. Jackson must have used lots of means to put the plan into action. Otherwise, how could the Hall family be so obedient and willing to demolish it?The root of all of this happening was because of what the Hall family had done the other day. They had humiliated her at the mall.Serenity had thought that things would end at the Hall family's apology in person. Jackson had already vented her anger by fighting for her, but she did not expect him to go further."But why?" Serenity asked in a murmur and wrinkled her nose. For some reason, she felt emotional."Because it's you," Jackson answered. His simple words seemed like a thousand words. He had taken this step all for Serenity.Serenity was Jackson's precious person. He cared for h

Serenity had encountered plenty of criticism. She could ignore it, but what about him? Serenity felt a little unsure."What's wrong? You don't want to go?" Jackson asked with a slight frown."Can I really go?" Serenity took a deep breath and stared up at Jackson. She reminded, "Jack, are you sure? Many people may recognize me. I met lots of people when I was with Zeke... Besides, I've been in prison...""So what?" Jackson did not care at all. "You're the one for me. So what if you've been in jail? So what if someone recognizes you?"As he spoke, he held her hand and pulled it to his lips, kissing it gently. "Serenity. You picked me up on the street. Did you worry about it? I don't care whether you're a princess or a beggar. I just want you by my side, brighter than anyone else."Jackson's kisses moved from the palm of her hand to her fingers, warming her heart. He gradually looked up, his dark eyes boring into hers. "Besides, you'll be by my side forever. If you're already worri

"Well, isn't all this because of that ex-girlfriend of yours?" Jenny said.Zeke was stunned. "Serenity?" He thought about how the Shaw family almost went down because of Serenity.It was not just that. Zeke's younger sister, Joy, was limping because of Serenity. The doctor advised the need for several operations to heal Joy's leg. The surgeries were risky. She could be left with a lifelong disability if not done right.Zeke was a little worried about his sister. Joy's character had changed a lot. She used to be fearless. Although a little arrogant, she was lively and cheerful. Now, Joy stayed in her room all day long. She seldom socialized and never met with her former friends. "Yup. She's the one. Jackson is protecting her now. No one can touch her." Jenny sounded a little sour.Jenny had always thought of Serenity as someone beneath her. She thought she would never see Serenity again. After all, they lived in different circles. However, things were out of her expectations. Je

Who would have thought?The determination he was holding on to crumbled within seconds. Zeke had panicked when the accident had happened. Then, his parents had ordered him to dissociate himself from Serenity, and he had done so immediately without even struggling.Zeke had reached a sudden realization at that moment. He had thought he loved her, but his future meant more to him. He was unwilling to sacrifice his future for Serenity.The premise of his love was his status as the son and heir of the Shaw family. Without this identity, his so-called love for Serenity meant nothing to him.Zeke had occasionally felt guilty over the years, but he would tell himself that it was all Serenity's fault whenever he did. Serenity had driven drunk and hit Mira Hall, killing her. Their relationship would not have ended if not for the accident. She was to blame for everything. He felt better when he thought like this.Zeke had thought that he would never cross paths with Serenity again. He tho

It was like this back then, and it remained the same even now.So what if Jackson treated Serenity as his most precious person? Jenny was sure that Serenity would eventually leave Jackson. After all, there were things that would destroy everything Serenity knew.***Serenity was no stranger to participating in functions. Back then, she had accompanied Zeke to various events. However... The current Serenity was a little different than who she had been back then.Serenity had spent three years in prison, and her skin lacked maintenance. It seemed duller than before. Her hands were also calloused, and her hair rougher than it had been back then.As if to erase her worries, a special team of stylists came to the Valor Residence in the afternoon, giving Serenity a special makeover. The light purple evening dress looked classy and elegant, and the crystals on the dress made it look dazzling. The dress must be worth a fortune.The stylist told Serenity, "Mr. Valor specially prepared t

"I like it," Serenity answered in a low murmur. Women would always like pretty things. How could she not like a gorgeous dress like this? But... "This dress wasn't cheap, was it? I feel like it would be a waste if I only wore it once." She meant to say that she would have chosen a cheaper dress.Jackson, however, replied after hearing her comment, "If that's the case, accompany me to a few more functions. Don't worry. It won't be a waste."Serenity choked, feeling lost for words.Jackson held Serenity's hand. "Alright. Let's go."The warmth of his hand began to spread across her palm, and Serenity responded softly as she rose to her feet. She then followed him out of the room, and they went downstairs.The car was waiting outside. Jackson took Serenity's hand and led her inside.On the way, Serenity could not help studying Jackson's look for the night. Jackson looked fresh and radiant, dressed in an immaculate black suit, white shirt, and dark purple tie. The look suited him perf
