Jackson led Serenity forward. Wilson could not help but be slightly surprised when he saw them. "Hello again. I didn't expect Mr. Valor to be interested in this trade show.""I'm here today to meet Ms. Hale," Jackson stated. He turned to Wendy and introduced, "Hello, Ms. Hale. I'm Jackson Valor. Meet my fiancee, Serenity. She has always wanted to meet you.""Meet me?" Wendy was surprised to hear Jackson mention her name. 'Jackson Valor! Isn't he the most powerful man in Solaria?' Wendy thought. Although he was the most fearful man in Solaria, Jackson Valor was younger and more elegant than she had expected. Wendy then shifted her gaze to Serenity. When she was coming to Solaria, she had paid attention to the news from Solaria. The successfully overturned case from almost four years ago had been the talk in the legal industry."I know you," Wendy said to Serenity. Serenity froze for a moment. Then, she realized that Wendy had to be talking about her case!Wendy was about fort

Wilson might not even care about his son, but Clare could not risk her chances. He might take Yanny away from her!"Probably because I quite like the child," Wilson said, a smile spreading across his usually stern face. "I happened to be here again, and I wondered if I'd ever see the boy again."'Wilson wanted to meet Yanny again?' Serenity's nose suddenly felt a little sore.Wilson was the one who had made Clare so miserable. He was the reason why Yanny had been born without a father. Clare had struggled in prison while Wilson was living a luxurious life.Wilson said he wanted to see Yanny again. The son he never knew existed. All of this seemed like a great irony."No," Serenity refused at once, almost like a reflex.Wilson was a little surprised by her fast rejection. She seemed very resolute. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes."Is that too much trouble? In that case, you can just give me the contact information. I'll go over and pay a visit myself. I'm planning to buy so

'Damn it!' Wilson thought, and the sound of glass cracking rang. "Crack!"The glass in Wilson's hand shattered, piercing his hand. Blood dripped from his right hand. He had gripped the glass so hard that he had broken it!Shocked, Wendy drew a sharp gasp beside him. "What are you...""Sorry. Something came to mind, and I got carried away," Wilson said flatly. His right hand was bleeding, but he did not seem to feel any pain at all.***"I wanted to let you meet Wendy and be happy. Instead, you got angry," Jackson said."Don't worry about it. I met Wendy, and it was great. Thank you, Jack," Serenity said."Didn't Wilson make you angry?" Jackson inquired."It's not your fault that I'm mad at Wilson. I just feel bad for Clare and Yanny." Serenity said, "Where was he when Clare gave birth in prison?! And now, he's offering to fund Yanny's treatment? Isn't that funny?! It's his child!" Serenity felt aggrieved and choked up as she spoke. "His child was born with a hearing problem.

Serenity was still a little dazed when Lucas stood before her."Why are you looking at me like that?" Lucas' cold voice rang in her ears."What?" Serenity snapped back to her senses."Like you're looking for something in me." Lucas suddenly leaned forward, his face dangerously close to hers. "I thought you were only interested in Jackson. What? Are you interested in something about me?"Serenity subconsciously backed away, trying to avoid Lucas. However, she accidentally tripped on her high heels as she stepped back. Serenity was falling backward. Everything happened so quickly that she could not react in time. She could only instinctively reach out, trying to grab onto something!Thud! Serenity grabbed Lucas' hand. She grabbed onto him so tightly, as if he was her only chance of survival as she was about to fall off a cliff. The next moment, a strong arm wrapped around her waist, preventing her from falling."You okay?" Lucas' voice rang again.Serenity could barely straighte

Lucas did not seem to feel the pain at all. All he could do was focus on her."Serenity. Let go. Let me take you to the hospital," he said.Let go? No! She must never let go. Because… "I-I won't let go! I'll get you up! Hold on…"Serenity unconsciously blurted out amidst the throbbing pain in her head. Hearing that, Lucas froze immediately. He almost choked on his breathing. It was as if everything had come to a halt in that instant.What was she talking about? What she had just said was…Lucas studied Serenity intently. His face moved closer to hers as he tried to listen to her voice, almost inaudible.Why would she say such things? Only he and the little girl back then knew about this!Just then, a voice suddenly rang out, interrupting his thoughts. "Lucas. What are you doing to my fiancee?"The next moment, Jackson pulled Serenity into his arms. However, she continued holding on to Lucas' hand, refusing to let go.Looking at Serenity's hand holding Lucas tight, Jackson's fa

As soon as Serenity let go of his hand, Lucas grabbed hers in return."Who are you?" Lucas' eyes were burning at her so sharply. He wanted a closer look to find out the truth about her! Serenity was startled. Meanwhile, Jackson grabbed Lucas' hand."Let go!" Jackson ordered coldly.Lucas simply ignored Jackson. His eyes focused on Serenity only. "Who the hell are you?!" A menacing look flashed across Jackson's face. Immediately after, he increased the force on his hand. Any ordinary person would have let go of Serenity at Jackson's warning. However, Lucas continued holding onto Serenity's hand. It was as if she was the most important thing in his life.An awfully suffocating air filled the space.The trio's unusual interaction had already attracted glances from passersby, many of whom recognized Jackson and Lucas for who they were.The two powerful men in Solaria, Jackson and Lucas, were fighting over a woman. It was intriguing and surprising, naturally.Lynette saw the stan

It was only then that Lucas finally noticed Lynette's presence there, which was quickly followed by a flicker of sadness in his eyes.What was wrong with him? Lynette was right here with him now, so why was he still doubting it?!Or could it be… that he was hoping for something?!Lucas's fingers slowly unfurled, loosening his grasp, after which Serenity hastily withdrew her arm from him.With a glum look on his face, Jackson instantly scooped Serenity up in his arms."Jack," she told him, "I can walk just fine.""But you had a terrible headache just now," he insisted. "I'd better carry you to the car, just in case."He then strode out of the exhibition hall toward the exit.Lucas kept watching until the two people disappeared in the distance. Then, he lowered his gaze and stared at the red marks on his wrists. They were right at the spots where Serenity and Jackson had been violently grasping at his arm earlier. It was only then that he felt the throbbing pain coming from the s

"I just happened to bump into him, that's all. Then I accidentally stumbled and almost fell, so I reached out my hand and grabbed his arm without realizing it, but after that, I got another headache again…"She tried to explain everything as clearly as possible, afraid that he might misunderstand anything."What about those words you said to him?" he asked. "Was that all really just nonsense?"She felt choked, almost as if her voice was stuck in her throat and would not come out!Nonsense? No, it was not nonsense at all. It was the words she had heard the girl say to the boy in her dreams. But how could she tell him that? How could she answer his question now? She had no desire to lie to him, but she did not want to tell him anything that might cause him to misunderstand her when she still had not figured out the whole truth of the matter yet either."What's wrong?" he persisted. "Was the question that hard to answer?"Her silence made him look up at her, the dark pools in his ey

Serenity buried her face against Jackson's chest all along the way as he brought her straight to the bedroom before placing her down carefully on the bed.Serenity struggled to get up and said, "Listen to me, Jack! I've got something to tell you!""Okay," he replied quietly, but his fingers were already deftly loosening his necktie, and his eyes were locked on hers, "Speak, then. I'm listening."Serenity bit her lips. Only then did she realize how muddled her mind was.'No!' she reminded herself. 'I must keep my head clear!'Right now, the most crucial thing was to explain everything to him as clearly as possible!"I used the wrong word when I said he was like a lifebuoy… What I meant to say was that it was such an urgent situation that I clutched at his hand… without even realizing it…"The further she got in her sentence, the softer her voice became because by that point, he had already taken off all the clothes on the top half of his body, exposing that lean and muscular ches

He bent down and knelt in front of her before gently taking off her high heels. Then, he cupped his hand under her foot to hold it up and say, "Serenity, you're the only person on earth who can control and dominate me!"As soon as he had finished his sentence, he leaned down and planted a kiss on the arched instep of her foot…Serenity gasped. The way he acted just now… It looked just like he was giving her a vow that he was ready to put his life in her hands.The spot on her foot where he was kissing instantly felt scorchingly hot. She could clearly feel his lips against her skin. She wanted to say something, but her throat was too parched. She stayed silent till he raised his head and gazed at her with his twinkling eyes that were exuding such bewitching charm.Serenity knew perfectly well that he was willing to give her everything he had as long as she did not betray him!She also knew that he loved her so much that he was no longer like his usual self. She never expected him t
