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

"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

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

A tall figure stood just outside the bathroom. He looked unhappy.Jackson Valor’s dark eyes stared at her with a gloomy look. "You hate me this much?"Her face was pale. She cowered, as if she was trying to stay as far away from him as possible.Jackson pursed his lips. He had never had to go through so much trouble to obtain a woman. He was Jackson Valor. In Solaria, he could have any woman he wanted.And she's just a really ordinary woman. He might find her more interesting than other women, but... he would not bother with a woman who hated him this much."Fine. If you despise me so much, I'll let you go," Jackson said coldly. His beautiful eyes were so chilly that they looked like they were made of ice. "But, remember this. Even if you regret it in the future, I won't take you back. I, Jackson Valor, never give second chances."After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the ward.Serenity used the sink to support herself. It took every last ounce of her strength to

Serenity was a mess when she got back to her rental house. She left on New Year's Eve, which was only a few days ago, but it felt like a lifetime had passed since then.The air in the small rental house felt cold. Serenity could not help but smile bitterly. From now on, she would be living by herself again.No one would keep her company, no one would chat with her in the middle of the night, and no one would call her “Sis” with a smile anymore!The first thing she did was to grab a set of clean clothes and take a shower to wash away the filth. After that, she started to organize the house.Jackson had not stayed here for long, but he left many traces in the house. His dishes and cups, his towels and toothbrushes, his worn clothes and shoes...She gathered all of them one by one and put them in a cardboard box.Why not throw them away? She asked herself that. They would only take up space. However, she would rather put them away than dispose of them. It's laughable, but she missed

To this day, they still could not figure out where all the evidence came from, or why the statements of the witnesses were so consistent."Those people are too much. They know nothing, but they like to stand on moral high ground and criticize other people," Lisa said indignantly."I'm used to it," Serenity replied calmly.When Lisa thought of Serenity's injuries, she could not help but sigh. She saw Serenity's injuries when she picked her up from prison. There were old and new ones. Serenity never told her what happened in prison, but Lisa could more or less guess.She must have gone through a lot of hardship."Is Jack really Jackson Valor?" Lisa asked to change the subject."Yeah," Serenity nodded."But... if he's Jackson Valor, how could he pretend to be a homeless man and stay with you in this small rental house for so long?" That was what Lisa could not figure out. It could not be a fetish of his, right?"It's just a game to him," Serenity said a little bitterly. She still
