Chapter 1131
Lucas was surprised to hear that, because when he opened the door, it had been unlocked. “We’ll discuss this at the police station!” said the officer. “Alright,” replied Serenity. “I’ll come with you,” offered Lucas as he grabbed Serenity’s hand. “Oh, it’s fine. I can go on my own,” said Serenity. Instead of letting go, Lucas doubled down and insisted, “I’ll come with you! In any case, I am a first-hand witness.” He stared at her with his intense gaze, as if telling her that he would continue insisting if she rejected him. Faced with no other choice, Serenity nodded and agreed for him to accompany her to the police station. Even if she said no, Lucas had the right to offer information to the police without needing her permission. What’s more, just like he mentioned, he was a first-hand witness in this incident. Lucas glanced at the crowd outside and proceeded to pull her behind him. “I’ll walk in front and you follow me from behind. We’ll leave this place like that.”
Chapter 1132
Lynette was lost in thought when she heard a voice from the lounge room saying, "Huh, what's this?" It was one of the mall janitors.Shortly after, someone remarked, "Look at these pictures! Eww, that's disgusting!"Pictures?Lynette recalled with a jolt that the reason Jonas was here today was to make a deal with her for her pictures.She didn't go with Jonas into the lounge room after drugging him earlier. Instead, she stayed outside and waited for the drug to take effect.She thought she could sneak the pictures away in the chaos that was bound to ensue after Jonas and Serenity were discovered. However, things did not happen according to plan, and she forgot to retrieve the pictures.Lynnette rushed into the lounge and saw many people holding and examining the pictures.Someone suddenly remarked, "Hey, isn't this Lynette Blossom?""No way, this woman looks like a country bumpkin. She's too shabby to be Lynette Blossom.""The man in the pictures is so ugly. Wait, doesn't he

Serenity wanted to decline at first, but when she saw Lucas' serious expression, she held the words back.For some reason, her phone felt a little heavier in her hand."I'll take you home. As for today's incident, I'll definitely get to the bottom of it!" Lucas said. "I won't see you get hurt and do nothing about it!""I've already lodged a police report. The police will investigate it," Serenity said."But I don't know if the police will do enough," Lucas stated. He would always eliminate anyone who posed a threat to him. "I won't let the culprit get away with this!"Serenity suddenly asked, "What if the culprit is Lynette? What would you do?"Lucas froze at the thought of the possibility. It was the one outcome he had avoided thinking about. He could be merciless towards anyone and make them pay the price a thousand times over, but Lynette... She was the person he had been obsessed over for more than 20 years, the person who had rescued him when he was a boy!If he could, he

When they reached the car, Lucas helped Serenity get settled in the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt for her. He then climbed into the driver's seat and drove to her apartment.Along the way, Lucas stopped to buy a salve for Serenity's bruises."I don't need a salve. It's no big deal. Just let them be and they'll heal in no time," Serenity told Lucas."To me, everything about you is a big deal," he said. As if afraid that she wouldn't apply the salve, he pulled up to the side of the road and took her bruised arm to apply the salve for her."I can do it myself," she hastily said. She took the salve from him, opened it, dipped her finger in the salve, and applied it to the slightly bruised, reddened spots.The cool salve slowly seeped into her skin.There weren't actually that many bruises, so the whole process didn't take long. She heard Lucas say, "Even if the culprit is Lynette, I'll make sure justice is served."Serenity looked at Lucas in surprise. "But..."Lucas exp

Lynette had thought long and hard to come up with this story. She tried to portray herself as a victim.As long as she was a victim, she wouldn't be blamed for what happened to Serenity. Serenity could only blame her bad luck."Do you swear that everything you're telling me is the truth?" Lucas looked her right in the eye and asked.Lynette quickly said, "Of course. Why would I lie to you, Lucas? The more I think about it, the more scared I am. If I were the one who went into the lounge, I would surely have fallen victim to Jonas because I'm not as quick-witted as Serenity is. It would have turned into a major scandal! Everyone would be talking about it!"As she spoke, she tried to jump into his arms for comfort.However, he pushed her away and said, "Lynette, I've already told you, I only see you as someone who saved me when we were kids. Please stop doing or saying inappropriate things so that people don't get the wrong idea."Lynette's face fell. She bit her lower lip tightly.
Chapter 1136
But Serenity had just experienced a major heartbreak. Would asking Serenity to be her maid of honor reopen old wounds and make Serenity sad?"You're getting married in three months?"Serenity was taken aback when her best friend dropped the bombshell."Yeah. Terry said he would resolve the White family conflict within three months, and then we'll get married," Lisa explained.Initially, Lisa was worried that it might be too soon, but once they decided to get married three months later, she felt relieved and was excited to become Terry's wife."Congratulations!" Serenity congratulated her friend wholeheartedly. "Of course I'll be your maid of honor! I'd be upset if you didn't ask me!""It's okay if you don't want to, though..."Serenity hugged Lisa and assured her, "I want to. I know you're worried that it might make me sad, but if you really think that, then you've underestimated our friendship." Lisa was surprised. Serenity saw through all her worries and trepidation."I'm gla

Lisa had been there a few times before, so she knew the way well. She took Serenity to a place to purchase candles, then led her towards a large hall close to the temple entrance.There was an altar outside the hall. Following Lisa's lead, Serenity lit her candle and placed it on the altar.As they were about to enter the hall, Serenity overheard someone in the group behind them say, "Did you hear? Jackson Valor is here.""Jackson Valor? The Jackson Valor?""Who else can it be? Why do you think there's so many security guards at the entrance?" Serenity was stunned as various thoughts raced through her mind. She had left that mansion burying his name deep in her heart. She thought she may never hear his name ever again.Who could have thought that she would hear his name again so soon. They were even in the same temple right now!Lisa was right next to Serenity, so she naturally overheard the conversation too. She looked at Serenity awkwardly and asked, "Should we go back?""Do

Jackson, who was not far away from them, stopped in his tracks and turned in their direction when he heard the name "Serenity".Connor had also heard the cry. He looked over, then looked at his boss.Jackson merely stared at Serenity, who had fallen to the ground, indifferently. His handsome face showed no emotion."Let's go," he said casually before heading for the path down the mountain.The spot where Serenity fell was close to the steps to go down the mountain, so Jackson would have to walk past her to leave the temple.The earlier crowd had all gone into the hall, so the outside was now quiet.Serenity looked up when she heard footsteps approaching.She saw a figure moving towards her.It was Jackson.She looked at him blankly.Unlike the short glimpse she caught of him when he came out of the hall earlier, she could now get a better look at him as he gradually approached her, step by step.His face was still as beautiful and as cold as ever. However, his current expres
