'Wait a minute...' Serenity jolted and looked at the man in surprise. 'H-how?' How did he know the bracelet was with her?Serenity had found the bracelet in her pocket when she had gotten off work at night. However, this man knew the bracelet was with her. He knew where she lived and had broken in silently. He had managed to do all that—who was he?"You found my bracelet. Say, what kind of reward do you want? I can give you anything reasonable," Lucas lowered his head, looking down at Serenity.Lucas could have left after retrieving the bracelet. However, he decided to stay after seeing Serenity's sleeping face.Lucas thought that maybe he wanted to see what she looked like when she was awake.She soon opened her eyes, revealing her mesmerizing dark eyes. Her naturally-curled eyelashes made her eyes even more charming.Her eyes were wide open, but the light in her eyes was something else and did not match her age. She seemed to have gone through many hardships in life. She lost t

Lucas Gomez. Serenity had heard of this name before.Lucas Gomez was the prince of the entertainment industry. The Gomez family monopolized many businesses in the entertainment industry. Word had it that Lucas was powerful enough to either make someone rise to fame or destroy their entertainment career.Lucas's influence in the entertainment industry was undeniable.When Serenity and Zeke were still dating, Zeke had mentioned Lucas before. The Shaw family was considerably rich and powerful in Solaria, but they were nowhere close to the Gomez family.Naturally, Zeke was not good enough to befriend Lucas.Serenity had also heard of Lucas's name from others. The gossipy women in the Sanitation Office often talked about him. Although he was rumored to be cold and unapproachable, Lucas had many girlfriends, one after another.Lucas would make the girlfriends he dated popular. However, he would eventually break up with them without hesitation and lingering feelings. He was said to be c

The scar on her palm might fade in a few days, just like her story with Jackson. After all, everything would fade with time as if nothing had happened.Serenity softly clenched her hand into a fist and left the Sanitation Office.Before she had gone far, a silver-gray Porsche stopped her. A man then stepped out of the car. The girls in the Sanitation Office had just so happened to be talking about him earlier—Lucas Gomez."What do you want?" Serenity asked."I would like to treat you to a meal and express my thanks," Lucas said, opening the passenger seat door and inviting Serenity into the car."I didn't help in finding your bracelet. You don't have to do anything to express your thanks," Serenity said, moving her feet and trying to walk away.Just as Serenity took a step away, Lucas raised his hand and blocked her way as he fixed his eyes on her with a gaze she could not understand."I'm not used to owing favors, so I must treat you to a meal," Lucas said in an unquestionable

Serenity ate, wondering about Lucas's purpose. What was he trying to do? Did he really buy her a meal to thank her?"Ms. Lewis, are you Zeke's ex-girlfriend?" Lucas suddenly asked halfway through the meal.Serenity's hands froze suddenly. She lowered her head and answered with a soft voice. Sure enough, someone like Lucas would have investigated her background before having a meal with her."Did you break up with him because of the car accident?" he asked."Yes, so what?" Serenity looked up and asked in reply, "Mr. Gomez, I got into an accident and killed Jackson Valor's fiancee. Who would dare to date me in Solaria?""I would," Lucas said.Serenity was shocked and looked at Lucas with a face full of surprise. Her mind suddenly went blank at his reply. "Well, do you want to try dating me?" he asked.Hearing that, Serenity did not feel anything romantic in his advances. Instead, she felt troubled. Lucas was speaking to her with such a cold and indifferent expression, almost as

Slap!A loud slap sounded.It was so sudden that Serenity could not react in time. She did not realize what had happened until she felt a burning sensation on her face."You must be that woman!" The person who had slapped her cursed bitterly, "I didn't expect you to let Lucas take you to dinner at such a place. Aren't you just a C-lister? Do you really think you can secure your position as his girlfriend?! I'm telling you, he'll dump you very soon!"Serenity looked up. Surprisingly, she recognized the woman who had slapped her!It was none other than Lyra Ross. Lyra was originally a B-lister and often played supporting roles. After dating Lucas, Lucas had made her famous.There was speculation that Lyra would be Lucas's last girlfriend. After all, Lyra was the one who had stayed with Lucas the longest. No one expected Lucas to break up with Lyra. In the end, Lyra had merely become just another ex-girlfriend of his."You’ve got the wrong person!" Serenity said."I didn't get the
Chapter 161
This time, however, their positions were reversed, and it was Serenity who did the slapping.Lyra held her cheek in disbelief as she asked, "How... How dare you slap me?!""If you could slap me," Serenity countered, "then why the hell can't I slap you back?"If she had to bear the responsibility, it stood to reason that Lyra had to bear some too."Who do you think you are?!" Lyra spat, mad with anger. "You're nothing but a third-rate minor celebrity! How dare you slap me?!"Serenity was not at all offended being called the "minor celebrity" as Lyra put it, but still..."Then what right did you have to slap me? You're a minor celebrity yourself! If it hadn't been for Lucas Gomez, do you really think that you'd be where you are today? You're well aware of why you came here to throw a fit like a madwoman! It's all because you broke up with Lucas, and you're afraid that you will lose everything, right? Because everything you have was all given to you by that man! And you actually thi
Chapter 162
She remembered reading in gossip columns about how much Lucas used to shower Lyra with love, how she could land a leading role in any film she liked, how any director who did not get along with Lyra would instantly get replaced with a different one, how he would rent the entire hotel, even if it was the most expensive and luxurious hotel in Solaria, if Lyra wanted to have a birthday party in it...With such treatment from Lucas, it was no wonder that everyone thought Lyra would soon be marrying into the wealthy Gomez family.Yet, who would have thought that, in the blink of an eye, things would take such a dramatic turn?!No matter how Lyra begged for his mercy, Lucas showed absolutely no sign of sympathy for her. To be more precise, there seemed to be no sign of emotion in his eyes at all—not for Lyra, nor for Serenity!While it was true that right now Lucas seemed to be taking Serenity's side, the way he looked at her was nothing but distant and aloof. It was as if no one could t

"If it had been her, she would never cry."Lyra heard Lucas utter such a vague sentence, and it instantly made her fear shoot up to such a level that she could not help but yell out, "Who is she? Who exactly is that woman?! Lucas Gomez, you'll never love anyone else but that woman, won't you? But you'll never get her! You've been treating other people's feelings with disdain, so one day, she will treat your feelings with disdain as well!"Lucas stopped in his tracks and turned around, his piercing eyes dead-focused on Lyra. At that moment, his usually indifferent gaze was filled with a biting coldness, but he merely glared at her and said nothing at all before turning around and leaving.Lyra slumped onto the floor, her whole body limp and powerless. Judging by the look that Lucas had just given her, it seemed as though he wanted to kill her right then and there.She knew then that she was toast!***Serenity was hit by a gust of frigid wind when she walked out of the restaurant,
