Chapter 1604
"I am deeply indebted to Master Zack. Even if he's dead, I'll still be his loyal follower!" Walter answered."So, what happened back then? Why was it you who returned Micah after Serenity's disappearance? What did you do when she disappeared? Was this all part of Master Zack's plan? Did he put you up to this?" Jackson asked sharply. Walter looked at Jackson and quickly understood the situation. Jackson had gotten hypnotized back then, and he still had not regained the memories he lost. If he had recovered them all, he would not have asked this.What about Serenity? Serenity had returned to the Valor family, which meant she must have recovered some of her memories. Even if she had not, Connor and the rest would probably tell her more. But Serenity did not tell Jackson about the crash into the sea. Was she afraid that Jackson would be overwhelmed by it? Walter had a clear mind and quickly understood the situation from Jackson's question. After all, he was the one who arranged to br

Yes! He was scared! Although Jackson cared about the missing child, Serenity mattered more to him! He could not imagine losing Serenity again. How could he survive without her? Jackson summoned all his willpower to resist breaking down. He turned and looked at the pale Serenity standing two steps away from him and saw something flickering in her eyes."Serenity, don't… Don't ever promise him! Even if he doesn't say anything… I-I'll definitely find out where that child is… No matter what, don't agree to that…. Please, I beg you—"The fear and anxiety on Jackson's handsome face struck Serenity hard. It pained her to see how he seemed so fragile at this moment.Serenity had once sworn to herself that she never wanted him to show such an expression again, but she had failed. His face was full of fear again.Serenity took a deep breath. "Okay," she agreed softly, and her answer stung Jackson.Jackson froze, and tears flowed down his face. She had said okay. She had agreed. Was it a p

'Serenity Lewis. This woman... how could she not be Mr. Valor's weakness?' Walter thought as a surge of inexplicable emotion hit him. When Master Zack was still alive, he feared that the Valor family might fall because of Mr. Valor's weakness one day. Mr. Valor's enemies might exploit his weakness, leading to the family's downfall. That was why Master Zack had left his last words and ordered Walter to get rid of Serenity.Serenity's determination was what made Walter change his mind five years ago. Five years ago, Serenity had sacrificed herself to save Mr. Valor during a life-and-death situation. Five years later, the woman was still the same as before.Upon hearing her words, Jackson had a heavy feeling in his chest, suffocating him. He tightened his grip around her arm, shouting, "Even if anyone tries to use you to threaten me, you must never sacrifice yourself! Do you hear me?!" Serenity looked at Jackson but did not answer him the way he wanted."Serenity!" Jackson raised his

Serenity woke up and found herself in the hospital with Jackson by her side. "Why am I here?""You passed out. I brought you to the hospital just in case. I had the doctor check on you, and it's nothing serious," Jackson explained.Serenity stiffened. As the memories of before she fainted flooded into her mind, she instantly burst into tears. Serenity threw her arms around Jackson, hugging him tightly. "Jack, what do I do? That child! The child is gone! Gone!" she cried out, choking with sobs. Jackson wrapped his arms around Serenity, her body shaking as she sobbed. "What Walter said may not be true. If the child is gone, why didn't he just tell us where the child was buried? He'd rather let the police detain him than tell us where the child is!" Jackson said, still puzzled by Walter's decision. Jackson intuitively believed that the child was still alive. But if the child was alive, what was Walter's purpose in hiding it?"N-Not true?" Serenity muttered and finally stopped c

Serenity thought about her other child, and somehow, Caden, the little boy she had met at the playground during the day, appeared in her mind.Although about the same age as Jacqueline and Micah, Caden was going through a tough time in his foster family. Serenity wondered what would happen to Caden after the fight earlier."What's wrong? Something on your mind?" Jackson's voice rang in her ears."I'm thinking about the boy I saw in the restaurant. The boy who injured someone in the play area earlier. I wonder if his family was angry. Will they reprimand him for fighting?""Hm? Worried about that boy?" Jackson asked."Yeah." Serenity nodded. "Maybe it was the look on the child's face. He reminded me of how you were when I first met you. I'm just a little concerned about the boy.""Like me?" Jackson arched an eyebrow."Maybe it was his eyes and expression. The look on that boy with his empty eyes did not look like it should be a kid's expression. He cares a lot about his sister. I

"Ms. Scott, this is regarding your request to investigate Serenity Lewis's life in Latveria for the last five years. We've completed the investigation. I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results, but there's an additional fee." A man's voice spoke to Gwen on the phone.Gwen was relieved to hear that the investigation had come to fruition, but her mood immediately soured at the man's demand. "What, you need more money?" "When you requested the investigation, you didn't mention that she's the current Mrs. Valor, Jackson Valor's wife! I'm already taking a huge risk by giving you this information. You've only paid that much money, which isn't enough."Gwen grew resentful. That much money… But she had already paid 45 thousand dollars! Hiding her spite, she asked the man, "How much do you want?""750 thousand dollars," the man demanded.Gwen almost cursed out loud. 750 thousand dollars! That was extortion!"Do you think the information you're giving me is worth 750 thousand dollars?
Chapter 1610
Walter was detained in the detention center, and the Valor family would be suing him for what happened to the child. Although Walter might go to court because of the child's matter, he could always deny it. Serenity knew it would be hard to convict Walter without a chain of evidence, especially when they could not mention the incident of her crash into the sea. It was unlikely to punish Walter unless the Valor family found something else! Walter had been with Master Zack for years, after all. He must have done something else, not clean from sin. Serenity went to the detention center to meet Walter alone this time. When Walter saw her, he only said, "Don't bother asking. Whatever you're asking, I can't tell you anything. ""I came to say thanks," Serenity said."What? Thanks?" Walter seemed surprised."Thank you for saving me. I hate you, but I guess you're the one who saved me. You're the one who caused my tragedy. If not for you, I wouldn't have been separated from Jack for f
Chapter 1611
When Serenity left the detention center, it was still early. She had two hours before picking up the children from the kindergarten, so she went to meet Clara.As Serenity approached Clara's store, she noticed the same black car she had seen last time. Parked in the dark corner just like last time, the man sitting inside had a good view of Clara's store. Serenity immediately recognized Wilson's car. Wilson had not dated in years. He had moved half the Birch Group to Solaria, and Serenity knew it was all for Clara. Some broken things could be mended, but not Clara and Wilson's broken relationship. If Wilson had not pushed Clara over the edge, causing all her misery, he could have been with Clara long ago. Serenity came to the store and saw Clara busy braiding some handsome bracelets. Serenity remembered making a bracelet like this as a child. She would turn ropes of different colors into bracelets. It had been quite popular among girls in her generation."Clara, why are you making
