Chapter 1717
But now… what he had just said simply shattered her fantasy."So," she heard Terry ask her, "are you going to marry someone else and never see me again?"She looked at him in shock, clueless of how to answer him.Terry had no desire to wait for her answer either, so he just turned around and was about to leave. But by then, Lisa had already stepped toward him and grabbed his arm, asking him, "How badly were you hurt?"His tall figure stiffened. His face seemed much paler now under the silvery moonlight."I told you," he replied, "if you've got no feelings for me, don't ever touch me again!""Is it so wrong that I'm worried about someone who just saved me?" she argued."It would be fine if it had been someone else," he said, trying to pull his arm away from her grip. "But not you!"Lisa could feel the pain in her heart intensify, yet she still held onto his arm adamantly and asked, "How badly were you hurt?"It was all she wanted to know–was he okay? Was he seriously injured?
Chapter 1718
Lisa bit down on her lips hard and said nothing.Terry chuckled."Looks like you don't care at all that I'm in pain, huh?"He said nothing more after that, merely stepping away from her and leaving.Lisa watched as Terry's figure disappeared into the darkness of the night. Only then did she slump down into a squat as if all the strength in her body had been sucked out. She hugged her knees tightly, and her nose stung. She wanted to cry, yet no tears came out. Bitterness filled her mouth.Why did things have to end up this way between them?! What exactly should she do? She had finally made up her mind about him, yet why did her heart waver again all because of him?!—Zeke Shaw never thought that he would see Jenny again. Still, the woman was nothing like the Jenny Hall he remembered. Instead, she was now wearing cheap and plain-looking clothes, and her dry and dull hair was tied up in a simple ponytail with a rubber band. Her facial features had been exquisitely alluring in the

Jenny glared coldly at Zeke, who was grumbling resentfully, and told him, "The only mistake I made was loving you too much back then! You're not worth all the things I'd done for you at all!""You…!" Zeke glared back at Jenny. "All those things you did had nothing to do with love! In truth, you did it all because you couldn't bear living in the shadow of your sister for the rest of your life! You committed so many crimes back then, so now, you should turn yourself in to the police!""What if I tell you I'm not going to do that?""Then I'll call the police myself!" said Zeke, and he promptly pulled out his phone.Just then, Jenny went to the play area in the KFC and waved her hand, shouting, "Come over here, Fred!"A little boy who was sitting in a corner, not playing with the other children but merely sitting there quietly watching everyone else play, slowly stood up and walked out of the play area before heading toward Jenny.Zeke was just about to dial 911, but he instantly pau

Still… Did Serenity say she was going to come back later because she was trying to… cheer her friend up? Images of the past popped up in his mind. He remembered how Lisa had brought Serenity to a bar to watch a certain… "performance".Could it be that she was coming home late because… they were at that kind of place again?In any case, Lisa had already had a bad record in his book.Jackson thought about it and decided to pick up his phone and call Serenity. She answered not long afterward, and he could hear that Serenity was in a noisy place, almost as if she was in a very lively place."Jack, I can't go home yet right now. I'll give you a call when I'm leaving, okay?""Where are you?" Jackson asked sternly."I'm at…"Before she could tell him where she was, Jackson heard Lisa's voice saying, "Stop talking on the phone, Serenity! I spent a lot of money to get all these handsome guys to entertain us, you know! Which one… hiccup! Which one do you think is the most handsome…?"S
Chapter 1721
And so, Serenity had followed Lisa into the nightclub, but as soon as they got inside, Lisa instantly demanded to have ten handsome 'princes' keep her company and drink with her. Because of that, they were regarded as troublemakers, and the manager came out to chase them away himself! But as soon as he caught sight of Serenity, he had changed his mind and dared not touch them anymore. He even did as Lisa demanded and assigned ten of the most handsome 'princes' in the nightclub to accompany them.The manager later stood awkwardly at the door to the private lounge that had been closed shut, wishing silently that the two customers who had just come in would enjoy themselves and leave as soon as possible. Who would have thought that among the two women who had come in today to demand the company of ten 'princes', one of them would be Jackson Valor's wife?!The manager had once seen a video about Serenity online, so he recognized her immediately. Strangely though, the video he had see

"Okay," Jackson replied in a flat voice as his gaze shifted toward the ten men in the room.Those men had learned from Mr. Jones earlier of Serenity's identity, so as soon as they heard her call the man who had just entered 'Jack', they instantly knew who he was.Mr. Valor! The man rarely ever appeared in the media in Solaria. It was even hard to find any information about him or pictures of him online. Yet now… they got to meet the man in person!"Have you been drinking with them here all along?" asked Jackson, his voice tinged with a certain emotion. The men in the room were all wearing different styles of clothes, and they all looked different, yet they were all pretty good-looking, more than handsome enough to attract women.Serenity shuddered. She sensed the jealousy in his voice, so she hastily explained, "I… I've just been accompanying Lisa to cheer her up, that's all. Besides, I didn't drink that much at all."She had only drunk a few glasses of wine. It was Lisa who had d

"No!" Lisa still protested. "I… I'll go back on my own… you don't… you don't need to send me home… I don't want to be the third wheel!""How can I let you go home on your own when you're this drunk?!" argued Serenity."Don't worry… I… I'll ask my friend to pick me up… Gale… Gale Porter…"As Lisa garbled her words, she pulled out her phone and dialed a number. The call went through, and when it was answered, Serenity was just about to take the phone and explain the current circumstances to Gale Porter, but she was startled when she heard the voice coming from the other end of the line."Lisa? Is that you, Lisa?"It was Terry White's voice! Serenity was bewildered. Did Lisa just… call Terry White?"I… I'm not looking for you, Terry! I'm trying to call… Gale Porter… Where's Gale? Let… Let Gale speak to me…""Gale Porter?" It sounded as if Terry had just uttered the name through gritted teeth. "Are you drunk, Lisa?""Yeah… That's right! I drank so much today! Also… I'm with so many

"Also," the staff member added, "it looks like it has something to do with Mrs. Valor's friend… I mean Miss Quest, because Mr. White just asked which room Mrs. Valor is in."Hearing this, Mr. Jones's heart sank. In the next moment, he noticed a tall figure walking toward him, and it really was… Terry White!'Good lord!' he silently bemoaned. "What's happening today? How did I get so 'lucky'?!'Terry walked up to the door, glanced at Mr. Jones, and asked, "Are they still inside?"Mr. Jones hastily replied, "Yes, yes, they're still inside."Terry opened the door and saw Lisa playing boxing with a group of men while Serenity was sitting beside her and Jackson was at the other end of the sofa.The sight of Jackson there surprised Terry, but he could easily tell that Lisa must have drunk a lot. The empty bottles of wine all over the floor confirmed his guess. The men were instantly relieved the moment they saw Terry entering the room. They were glad that someone had come to pick up
