Chapter 1467
To Serenity, all of this was like a bolt from the blue that suddenly attacked her, causing terrible agony to her whole body!But she had to protect this body of hers for the sake of the babies in her belly, so she would not let herself wallow in the pain no matter how much it hurt!She picked up her phone and checked her mailbox before reading the email that Lucas had sent her earlier. He must have gotten it from Jackson's grandfather!Just then, the words the old man had said to her when he met her before he died popped up in her mind– "Then… Let's gamble… Let's see if you… really do love Jackson that much…"Could it be that the gamble that the late Mr. Valor mentioned… was about this long-concealed truth?! Did he mean to test how much she truly loved Jackson by using this revelation?!Old Mr. Valor had revealed the truth to Lucas, and had Lucas had his way, it would have never been exposed to her, keeping her forever in the dark. If that was how things transpired, perhaps her

He never thought that the truth of the case would come out under such a circumstance. She even nearly went into labor prematurely when she heard about it! Had anything actually happened to her, he would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life!He walked up to the side of her bed and gazed at her face, which had been illuminated by the pale moonlight. Her eyes were slightly swollen, and her face looked slightly blanched, with strands of hair sticking to her cheek. Even as she was asleep, her hands were placed protectively over her belly. It was plain to see how much her babies meant to her.She was, in fact, gambling her own life for the sake of those three babies!"I'm sorry…" he murmured, his voice somewhat hoarse. "I'm sorry… It was all my fault. All I cared about at the time were business and profits. I didn't have a shred of pity or sympathy for other people. I thought it was nothing worth bothering about, I never even thought to consider what you must have gon

A misunderstanding… How she wished everything was just a misunderstanding! How she wished that Jack never knew who the real perpetrator was and that there had not been any transfer of benefits between him and the Hall family back then!Later that night, after Serenity fell asleep, Jackson sneaked into her room as usual. Each day, this was the only time that he was able to see her and be by her side for a while.If only she knew how precious these moments were to him!Just as he was gently brushing the strands of hair away from her face, her eyes slowly opened. Their gazes met. His whole body instantly froze, and his expression quickly changed. He backed away from her in haste, then turned around and was about to leave the room.He knew that he was the last person she wanted to see right now!Even though he had been there outside the room every day, not once did she even mention that she wanted to see him. She would even rather stay at the hospital for longer than she was supposed

"It wasn't just your luck," said Jackson. "Jenny Hall had targeted you to be the scapegoat. She was infatuated with Zeke Shaw, but you were his girlfriend back then, so putting the blame on you was the perfect solution to all her problems."That explanation sent a chill down her spine. So that was the reason! Jenny Hall had planned to kill two birds with one stone from the start! It was not just her rotten luck that made her the scapegoat–she had been cast into that role from the moment this sinister plan was conceived!Serenity had to shut her eyes to process what she had just heard. Most of the truth in this world was harsh, but to her, in this moment, perhaps much harsher things were still to come. Her eyelashes trembled slightly as she gripped the thin blanket on her body tightly. It was a long while before she opened her eyes and looked at Jackson again."Back then," she said, "you only agreed to help me get exonerated because you didn't want me to find out the truth, right? Th

"Serenity, didn't you say that no matter what I do, you'll always forgive me? That as soon as I cry, you'll forgive everything? Then I'll cry, okay? I don't care how long you want me to cry, or how many tears you want me to shed. I'll do it, so please forgive me, okay?"Tears streamed down his cheeks as he spoke, flooding his handsome face. Serenity felt as if her chest had been stuffed full, making it hard for her to breathe. She had never imagined that one day, she would see him cry under such a circumstance.His tears flowed down his face unceasingly, and they dripped down onto their hands. The warmth of his tears almost scalded her skin. Before she could stop herself, she was already reaching out her free hand toward his face, but just as her fingers touched his face which was wet with tears, she felt her stomach turn, and the feeling of nausea rose inside her.Serenity quickly covered her mouth with her hand and pushed Jackson aside as she ran toward the restroom. She leaned ov

After the doctor and nurses left, Serenity turned to Jackson, who was still standing there. At that moment, he was not far away from her bed, yet it seemed that his whole body was engulfed in a shroud of loneliness and despair.Serenity pursed her lips before announcing, "Once the babies are born, I… I'd like to move out of Valor Residence."Jackson's head jerked up. He looked straight into her eyes with a look of shock and panic on his face."You want to… move out of Valor Residence?""Yes," she replied, "because I don't know how to face you right now. Perhaps moving out of the house is the best solution for both of us."She knew that she could easily make some excuses for him, such as that she was just a stranger to him at the time, so she was just an insignificant factor in the equation to him, or that it was unreasonable for her to expect him to feel sorry for a woman who meant nothing to him, considering how unsentimental he was by nature, or even that all he did wrong was no

He was willing to pay any price if it meant getting her to forgive him, anything except letting her leave him!He did not care if she actually wished to run away from Valor Residence or from him. He just wanted to lock her up safely inside Valor Residence. It was as if that was the only way he could make sure that she would never leave him!After speaking, he turned around and left the room immediately.Not long afterward, a nurse walked in. It was the nurse who was in charge of taking care of Serenity at night."Madam Valor," she said, "Mr. Valor said to let you get a good rest and to assure you that he would not come in again, so you don't have to worry about it."Serenity remained silent as she lay down on her bed. She slowly closed her eyes, but her hands were still placed on top of her belly. She tried her best to control her emotions and not let them boil over as she attempted to cool off her head.Only by being calm could she make sure that her babies were in the best of h

Unbeknownst to Serenity, earth-shattering developments had been going on in the outside world over the past few days. The Hall family encountered serious problems in their capital chain and was forced to apply for bank loans, yet none of the banks were willing to give them one. In fact, the banks had even applied to the court to freeze a significant portion of the Hall family's properties.At the same time, a bombshell news broke out in the media of Jenny Hall's arrest by the police, which had even happened at her own fan meeting. Although she had retired from showbiz, she still retained many die-hard fans at the time. On the day of the fan meeting, she made an appearance all dressed up in full glamor and was even wearing a dazzling necklace worth about three million dollars. She was the one who had invited the reporters there as well.Jenny had hoped to create a buzz in the media by attending the fan meeting to prove that the Hall family was not in any kind of financial crisis, whic
