"I'll keep my promise, and you mustn't forget it, okay?"The little boy's voice had kept ringing in her ears. However, Serenity had completely forgotten about Luke and never recognized him. By the time she did, it was too late.With a thud, Serenity knelt on her knees. The two men were startled by her sudden action."What..." Jackson's eyes were incredulous. "What are you doing? Are you pleading for Lucas? I won't stop, even if you beg on your knees!"Serenity took a deep breath and stated calmly, "It's not about him." Her fear and hesitation suddenly faded away as she dropped to the floor."What happens between you and me should stay between us. Our affair is none of his business. You said you still love me, but it's too much to bear. So, Jackson… Set me free, please.""Set you… Free?"Jackson trembled slightly, his face dark. He would let her beg him for Lucas rather than letting her go!"Do you realize what you're saying?" Jackson croaked. Releasing his hold on Lucas, he tur
Chapter 1110
Jackson was head over heels in love with Serenity, but to her, their relationship was just a mistake. The woman he loved the most in the world was begging him to set her free. What could be more ironic than this?"Okay. I'll let you go." Jackson heard his own voice saying, "From now on, I'll have nothing to do with you!"His relationship with Serenity, whether like lovers or siblings, would cease to exist, just like two parallel lines that would never meet or intersect.***Lucas later took Serenity back to the rental house where she lived. Some corners in the house were gathering dust since Serenity had been away from home for a week. "Actually… You didn't have to get on your knees for Jackson," Lucas said. "I could've thought of other ways."Serenity gave a bitter smile, treating the situation as an eye for an eye. Jackson had fallen on his knees yesterday, begging her to love him. A day later, she was kneeling on her knees and begging him to set her free!"Thanks, Lucas,
Chapter 1111
There was a touch of bitterness in Serenity's smile when Lucas left. Just then, she remembered something. Her phone was still with Jackson.Jackson had taken her phone away when he had taken her to the mansion. She had not seen her phone again ever since.Serenity thought she would have to report the lost SIM card tomorrow. She would have to get a replacement card and a new cell phone. A replacement card would not cost much, but a cell phone might… Just then, there was a knock on the door, interrupting her train of thought. 'Is it Lucas? Did he come back?' Serenity stood up and opened the door, but to her surprise, it was Connor."Hello, Ms. Lewis. Here is your cell phone. Mr. Valor told me to give it back to you," Connor said, handing Serenity the cell phone.Serenity took the phone, and Connor left without saying anything else.Serenity returned to her room and turned on her phone, which was low on battery. There were many missed calls on her phone. Most were from Lisa, and so

It turned out that everything could change in an instant, just like when they had broken up. Only that time, Jackson was the one who had wanted to break up, but this time, it was Serenity who wanted to leave."Jackson. I should really forget you this time," Serenity murmured.***The next day, Lisa planned to meet Serenity at her place as soon as she got off work. When Lisa talked to her on the phone yesterday, Serenity said she was fine. Even so, Lisa was still a little worried about Serenity.When Lisa arrived at the parking lot and was about to pick up her car, a woman stood before her, stopping her from leaving. "You must be Lisa," the woman said, looking at Lisa with an arrogant face. She wore a brand-new luxury coat from the latest fall collection and exquisite makeup on her face. "Who are you?" Lisa asked, surprised."I'm Janet Hart, the person Terry wants to marry," Janet introduced herself, her eyes filled with disdain. "I heard you've been dating Terry for some time,
Chapter 1113
Lisa blinked her eyes. Then, she took out her phone and searched for Pacific Property online.Janet was frustrated by Lisa's reaction. Actions spoke louder than words. Was Lisa telling her that she had never heard of Pacific Property?Janet felt embarrassed. She thought Lisa would be intimidated when she told her about Pacific Property, but Lisa was searching for the company online instead. After reading about Pacific Property online, Lisa smiled and said, "Okay. I know who you are now. But you said the White family had chosen you as a marriage candidate for Terry. Which means you're not engaged yet, are you? Besides, it's the White family who had chosen you, not Terry. So you have nothing to do with him now."Lisa trusted Terry. She did not think he would marry someone like Janet. 'Maybe that's the power of love!' Lisa thought to herself.Janet gritted her teeth and glared at Lisa bitterly. Lisa was right. The arranged marriage was a negotiation between the Hart family and a mem
Chapter 1114
Lisa was right about Janet. Janet had never intended to pay Lisa a single dollar. Her goal was just to make Terry get rid of Lisa. However, she never expected Lisa to be so sharp and guess her intentions.Lisa heard her phone ring. She drew her phone out to see Terry's caller ID and answered it. "Where are you?" A gentle voice asked through the phone. "Negotiating with the young lady from Pacific Property, the marriage candidate your family has chosen for you," Lisa snickered."Negotiating?" Terry got nervous. "That woman came to see you? Did she do anything to you?!""She planned to give me nothing. She offered to pay me to leave you, but she didn't plan to pay at all," Lisa complained.Janet heard what Lisa had said, her face distorting into a scowl. She finally realized that Lisa simply did not play by the rules. She would make a bigger fool of herself if she stayed any longer.Janet rose to her feet, furious. She gave Lisa a "you're going to regret this" look and left the

"Did Jackson keep you there and… He didn't do anything? Did he hurt you?" Lisa asked cautiously."He didn't," Serenity reassured her."He's still a gentleman." Letting out a sigh of relief, Lisa thought of something else and added, "Right. You said you have nothing to do with Jackson anymore. What's going on? The two of you…""Like I said, we're parting ways. Even the sibling game is already over. We're just strangers now," Serenity said calmly, but her calmness made Lisa feel a little worried.Lisa did not like Jackson because of how he had hurt Serenity, but… She felt a little regretful at the thought of Jackson and Serenity parting ways, becoming strangers.Lisa had originally thought that maybe there was still a chance for Jackson and Serenity to reconcile."Jackson isn't the only man in the world. You'll meet a better person someday," Lisa said, cheering for her friend.Serenity had a small smile and accepted Lisa's kind words. She knew Lisa was just worried about her futur
Chapter 1116
Serenity planned to keep hiding the truth from Lucas. Even if Lisa wanted to tell the truth, she had no way to do so!Serenity grunted at Lisa's comment about Lynette.While they were chatting, Lisa's notification alert rang. Lisa glanced down at her phone and saw a new message from Terry. He was asking her when she was going to his place.Serenity accidentally glanced at the message and said, "Hey, Terry is waiting for you. You should go to his place first. We can meet another time.""Alright. If anything happens, remember to call me. Don't keep it all to yourself," Lisa urged, worried about Serenity."Okay. I know." Serenity smiled. She could finally relax and be herself with Lisa around, knowing that Lisa would be there for her no matter what.Lisa left Serenity's place with an unexpectedly heavy heart, wondering whether it was good or bad for Serenity to stay like this. Serenity had broken up with Jackson, but then Lucas had come. Unfortunately, Serenity did not love Lucas an
