Chapter 1133
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

If the deity truly was merciful, may he grant her mercy so she could move on from this relationship and regain inner peace!She now realized that, sometimes, being able to not love someone was also a kind of blessing.In a car at the bottom of the mountain, Jackson leaned back against the backseat and closed his eyes to take a rest.From the front seat, Connor glanced anxiously at his boss through the rearview mirror.Although Mr. Valor definitely saw Serenity Lewis earlier, he showed no reaction. He seemed to not care about her anymore.At least, that's how it seemed like on the outside.Connor was doubtful though. After all, he witnessed their whole relationship, from the beginning until the end.Connor knew how important Serenity Lewis was to Mr. Valor. He would give his life up for her if that's what she wanted.He loved her so much. Could he really move on this quickly?In Connor's opinion, the more indifferent Mr. Valor appeared, the more he still cared about her inside.

Serenity simply smirked at Lynette. She didn't believe Lynette at all. She was at least 90% certain that the incident was Lynette's doing.She wondered what the result of the police investigation was.Lucas walked over too. He said, "Like you, I also came after receiving a call from the police. Once we find out who drugged that man and locked the lounge, I'll make them pay!"Serenity looked him in the eye. Was he telling her that because he knew she suspected Lynette? He wanted her to know that even if the culprit was Lynette, he would still make her pay?When Lynette heard Lucas say that, she trembled, and a hint of envy flashed across her eyes.Lucas cared so much about Serenity that he couldn't stand to see her upset. But nothing happened to her though. She only got some minor bruises on her arms."Please come inside. We have something to tell you guys," said a police officer.Jonas Zeller's parents were also in the room. After all, technically speaking, Jonas Zeller was a vi
