Chapter 139
If it was before, Joy would be overjoyed to get a chance to meet Jackson Valor face to face like this, but now, her heart was screaming in agony."There you are," Jackson remarked indifferently.Joy put on a meek and pitiful look and said carefully, “You wanted to see me, Mr. Valor? What can I do for you?”Serenity also seemed puzzled. She had no idea why Jackson brought Joy Shaw here.Jackson smiled and explained to Serenity, "Sis, you might not know this, but on the second day of the new year, Miss Shaw here met your friend Lisa Quest and gave her problems."Serenity was confused at first, but she soon figured it out. When she had the argument with Joy Shaw at the mall, Lisa spoke up for her, so Joy knew that Lisa was her friend. If Joy ran into Lisa, she would naturally vent her anger at Lisa.When Joy heard Jackson call Serenity "Sis", her eyes almost popped out.No way! Which woman in Solaria was worthy of being called that by Jackson Valor?But now, Jackson Valor was actu

Joy slandered Serenity as hard as she could.However, Jackson showed no reaction other than to play with Serenity's fingers absentmindedly. He said indifferently, “So? What's wrong with wiping the shoes of a sanitation worker? Even if the mayor's daughter were to wipe her shoes, I still don't see anything wrong with it.”Joy was speechless. Of course she could not compare to the mayor's daughter."Miss Shaw, please hurry up. Mr. Valor doesn't have much patience," Connor urged, "If Mr. Valor's patience runs out, you'd have to do much more than wipe shoes."Joy bit her lip. She was reluctant, but no matter how reluctant she was, she had no choice but to do it. She walked towards Serenity slowly, knelt down in front of her, took the tissue and wiped Serenity's shoes, which were actually not dirty at all.Serenity stared at Joy in disbelief. She could never have imagined that something like this would actually happen. But, Lisa actually had to do what Joy was doing right now?How did
Chapter 141
However, Jackson did not even spare Joy a glance. He asked Serenity, "Sis, what do you think? Is this enough?"Although Joy resented Serenity, she had no choice but to beg Serenity for forgiveness."Serenity, I... I know what I did was wrong. I shouldn't have done that to your friend, I... I'll apologize to your friend. Please, forgive me."Serenity looked at Joy who was crying bitterly. She knew very well that Joy was only begging her for forgiveness because of Jackson, not because of her.She did not feel any sympathy for Joy Shaw at all. Joy Shaw did the same thing to Lisa that Jackson was doing to her right now. Serenity resented Joy Shaw for that and also felt guilty.Serenity wished it was her who was humiliated, not Lisa.Lisa had already sacrificed a lot for her. After she was released from prison, not only was she unable to repay Lisa properly, Lisa even had to suffer because of her."I want you to apologize to Lisa in front of everyone who saw what happened that day an
Chapter 142
If Jackson really were to help Serenity get revenge on the Shaw family, the Shaw family was doomed for sure. They would be removed from Solaria's high society."M-Mr. Valor, I..." Zeke anxiously tried to defend himself.But Serenity cut him short. "No, that won’t be necessary. The moment we broke up, he already became a stranger to me. I'm actually glad the accident let me see his true nature."Zeke went pale. He felt humiliated. Serenity did not spare him a single glance the whole time."As you wish." Jackson got up, walked over to Zeke, and gently patted Zeke on the shoulder. "You should be grateful that she doesn't want revenge. If not, the Shaw Group will no longer exist in Solaria this time next year."Zeke trembled and started sweating even more profusely. He quickly thanked Serenity and helped Joy out of the ward.The siblings only felt like they were alive again after they left the hospital."Why would Jackson Valor fall for Serenity Lewis?" Joy said indignantly."I alr

"I can't refuse, can I?" she asked.His eyes flickered. The smile on his face faded a little. He slowly straightened up and looked down at her. "No, you can refuse. I can give you the right to refuse, but..."After a pause, he said with a strange smile, "Are you really going to refuse?"Serenity felt as if the air around her froze. If she agreed to his proposal, she would indeed gain a lot. It would change her destiny.If it was any other person saying those things to her, maybe she would actually agree.But Jackson Valor... She feared this man. He had never harmed her directly, but one word from him was enough to make her life in prison hell.And even before that, not a single lawyer dared to take her case because the victim who was killed in the car accident was Jackson Valor's fiancée.She was also unsure if he had anything to do with all the false evidence against her, as well as the witnesses who all testified that she was drunk driving.The man's shadow loomed over her li

"As long as Mr. Valor says yes, you can be discharged any time," said the doctor.Serenity did not know how to feel about that. She even needed Jackson Valor's consent to be discharged from the hospital now?"Okay, I understand," she replied.After the doctor and the nurses left, she went to the bathroom to look at herself in the mirror. The person in the mirror had a fresh looking face, curved eyebrows shaped like willow leaves, almond-shaped eyes, and pink lips. Under the light, she seemed to glow.She looked pretty decent compared to the average person, but someone like Jackson Valor had to be surrounded by beautiful women. Compared to them, she would not stand out.What exactly did Jackson Valor see in her? Serenity smiled bitterly. She mistook him for a homeless man, so he found it interesting and wanted to keep playing this sibling game?She rubbed her lips as the scene of him kissing her flashed in her mind.She remembered Lisa once said, "Serenity, do you know that you h
Chapter 145
"Yes, Mr. Valor," Connor quickly answered. They left the Valor Residence and headed to the hospital.When Jackson walked into the ward, he saw Serenity sitting properly on the sofa.Yes, "properly" was Jackson's first thought upon seeing her. She was sitting with her back straight and her hands resting on her knees. Her sitting posture was perfect."You want to be discharged from the hospital?" asked Jackson."Yeah," she replied. Her eyes darted to the scarf around his neck. That was the scarf she knitted for him. She made it for him hoping that it would keep him warm in winter.But she actually did not have to do that at all. He must have more scarves than he could wear and had many ways to keep himself warm. The scarf she made for him was completely unnecessary."I'll give you one more chance to choose. Think it over before you answer. Are you really refusing to stay with me?" he asked.He never gave anyone a second chance. She... was an exception.She raised her head to look
Chapter 146
Serenity's body stiffened. He's right. Even if she screamed at the top of her lungs, no one would barge in to save her.Anyone who tried to save her would be making an enemy out of Jackson Valor. No one would be that stupid!While she was lost in thought, he kissed her lips.No! Not like this!Almost subconsciously, she bit down hard.The next instant, her mouth was filled with the taste of iron. Serenity realized with a jolt that it was the taste of... Jackson's blood. She had just bitten his tongue.But even so, he continued to kiss her, forcing her to swallow his blood!She did not know how long the kiss lasted. When the kiss ended, she felt her lips tingle. The taste of blood in her mouth was unbearably strong."Does it taste good?" he asked in a whisper. His lips curled into a smile. A streak of blood ran down the corner of his mouth.His faint smile, accompanied by the crimson blood, actually looked stunning.The smell of blood became even more intense when she opened h
