Chapter 1422
"Jackson," said Quinton Hall, "no matter what has happened, the Hall family and the Valor family has always been good allies. You don't really want to squash us down completely, right? The Emerald Hall Garden is a pivotal project to the Hall family, and I don't think the Valor family is going to gain much benefit from it anyway, so what's the point of making things difficult for everyone by snatching it from us?""The Hall family has been prosperous for long enough," said Jackson in a nonchalant way that was a stark contrast to Quinton Hall's tense seriousness. "Your time has come to an end.""But hasn't the Hall family been happily working with the Valor family all these years? If you have any objections or conditions, you can bring it up for discussion. Just tell me what you want, and we will do our best…""I want all companies under the Hall family to be removed from Solaria," Jackson said, cutting Quinton Hall off.Quinton Hall's expression changed. What Jackson had just demand

Just as she was thinking about this, the door to the CEO's office opened, and out came Quinton Hall. He was facing the inside of the office, so he did not notice that Serenity was nearby."Jackson Valor," he shouted angrily, "if you really want to seek justice for Serenity Lewis, don't ever forget that you're responsible for what happened to her too!"Serenity's heart almost skipped a beat. She instinctively took a few steps forward, and it was then that she heard his familiar voice ring out of the half-opened door."Quinton Hall, if you dare say another word, I'll make sure that the whole Hall family gets wiped out from the face of the earth!"Her gaze fell on the figure that stood inside near the door, but at this moment, his familiar handsome face was full of savagery, and there was an unmistakable sign of bloodthirst on that usually lovely pair of eyes.Bloodthirst…?! Could she have been mistaken?Quinton, who had been standing at the door, was obviously shocked into silence

It was as if he was afraid of something! But what could he be afraid of? Was it something to do with Quinton Hall? Just now, the last thing he had said before leaving was…Serenity suddenly realized something, and she asked him, "Jack, are you… Are you afraid that I'd be mad at you?"His body stiffened, and his breathing became laborious. Yet he still remained silent and held her even more tightly now.Serenity knew instantly that she was right. It seemed that he had really gotten this way because of the last thing Quinton had said. She remembered the savage and murderous look on his face after hearing Quinton’s parting words. It was almost as if Quinton had… crossed a line."Don't worry," she assured him. "I won't be mad at you!"Jackson's lips trembled. Even his voice shook a little as he asked her, "You won't… be mad?""No," she smiled, raised both her hands, and cupped his face between them. "I won't be mad. I bet Quinton Hall came here today to talk to you about the Emeral

"But…" Serenity frowned. Then she suddenly gasped and placed her hands on her bulging belly."What's wrong?" he asked anxiously."The babies… are kicking."At this point in her pregnancy, Serenity could already feel the movements of the babies inside her, but up till now, the movements had been very gentle, so gentle that she thought it might have just been her imagination.This time, however, she could clearly feel the babies move, and it was followed by another kick and then another."The babies are kicking?" asked Jackson, his eyes fixed on her belly in surprise."Yeah! Feel it!"She then placed his hand on the spot where the babies were moving. As the movements went on, Jackson was so amazed he seemed to be put under a spell. He had known beforehand that the babies would start to move in the womb once they developed to a certain stage, and he had learned all about fetal movements during pregnancy, but still… theoretical knowledge was still nothing compared to real experience

People online began to call her all sorts of unpleasant names. Even the nurses at the hospital gave her weird looks all the time, but Sandra could do nothing about it. She could only wait until she was discharged.Unfortunately, as soon as she took the first step out of the hospital once she was done with the necessary paperwork, she was instantly hounded by a large group of reporters."Miss Cooper, how do you feel about the video of you that was released?""How did Mr. Birch react? Is your wedding still going to happen as scheduled?""Was the child you miscarried Mr. Birch's baby or was that man in the video the real father?""Did you frame Ms. Clara Wells to make people think that she was the one who caused your miscarriage?"Question after question was shot at her, making it hard for Sandra to keep her composure. The flash of lights from the cameras also made her feel even more humiliated."Stop taking pictures of me!" Sandra tried to cover the cameras with her hands while he

Sandra’s father was startled and intimidated by Wilson’s reaction. “Wilson, don’t you listen to those damned journalist. About… the bone marrow donation, I lied to you, but that was because I love you. I liked you before you even knew who I was. That’s… that’s why I did what I did. A-Although I lied to you, but… dishonesty’s not a crime, is it?!” Sandra countered defensively. Wilson glanced at Sandra and snarled, “You liked me?” His eyes were red and his voice sounded hoarse. “Did you like me, or did you like my family? Do you know that you’ve just destroyed my entire life?!”“I… how could I have destroyed your life?! I love you too much to do that!” argued Sandra, who tried her best to appear weak and harmless. “I know what I did was wrong and you’re upset because of it. If you want, I can apologize to Clara and make amends or whatever, I’ll do whatever you want me to.” “You love me?” So, you can lie to me because you love me? So, I’m turned into your executioner because you lo

“Smack!”The distinct sound of a slap was followed by silence. The force behind the slap almost sent Sandra tumbling to the floor again. The slap left one side of her cheek swollen with a bright red handprint on its surface. Immediately after the slap, Sandra seemed to feel no pain. She replied mockingly, “Even if you wanted to, with her condition, you’ll never make it up to Clara. I can’t wait to see what you’ll turn into when she dies!” Through narrowed eyes, Wilson almost bore a hole through Sandra’s body. “How did you find out about her illness?” At that, Sandra started cackling away. “Haha, how did I know? I know more about Clara’s condition than you’ll ever know! You’re blind as a bat, Wilson!” Wilson’s lips were tightly pursed as he gritted his teeth. After a long while, he finally spoke, “You’re not wrong. I guess I am blind!” He was blind enough to have remained ignorant for such a long time. He was blind enough to not figure out who was the one who actually treat

So that was the reason why she had thanked him with a smile, even after what he had said. At the time, she had completely let go of her feelings for him. How stupid he was in hindsight! It had taken him so long to finally uncover the true meaning behind that smile. The car soon came to a stop, and Wilson’s thoughts were interrupted by his driver’s voice asking, “Sir, why are you… bleeding?” Wilson slowly opened his eyes and followed his driver’s gaze. He raised his hand and touched the corner of his lips only to find that it was wet with blood. His jaw was so tightly clenched that he had bit into his lip unknowingly. Wilson proceeded to wipe the blood off his lips before he alighted from his car. Just as he was about to walk toward the inpatient block, he caught sight of Clara walking out with her mother and the two men who were responsible for guarding her ward. The men carried duffle bags as they walked. From the looks of it, Clara had just been discharged from the ho
