Chapter 175
As clueless as Amanda was, even she knew when she had run into a brick wall.When had Serenity met such a good-looking and wealthy man? A hint of jealousy rose in Amanda's heart before she realized the man's face seemed familiar as if she had seen him somewhere.Suddenly, Amanda's eyes lit up, and she blurted out, "Aren't you... Serenity's boytoy from back then?"As soon as the words left her mouth, the manager's face instantly changed, and Mr. Crouch barely stopped himself from falling to the ground.He wished he had never met someone like Amanda!Who the hell would dare speak about Jackson like this in the entire city?!Jackson looked at Amanda with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes and an icy-cold glare."Amanda, what nonsense are you talking about?! This is Jackson, the CEO of the Valor Group!" Mr. Crouch hurriedly explained.Amanda stared at him, her eyes filled with disbelief.This man... was actually Jackson Valor?!How was that possible?! How could Jackson be
Chapter 176
The ambiguous way in which Jackson treated Serenity shocked the restaurant's manager and Mr. Crouch.It was said that Jackson had no interest in women. Even when he was with his former fiancée, the two always maintained a respectful distance. When had anyone ever seen him being so close to a woman, especially in such a public setting, and even demanding justice for her?Amanda knelt and trembled as she apologized, "Serenity... It was all my fault. I shouldn't have spoken to you that way. I-I won't do it again. Please forgive me!"Serenity looked at Amanda without a shred of sympathy. After all, Amanda had never shown any sympathy toward her. She wasn't a saint who would sympathize with someone who only knew how to ridicule and mock her.However, she didn't appreciate this kind of gesture either. She felt no satisfaction whatsoever even as Amanda knelt before her."Sis, do you think you should forgive her?" Jackson whispered as if he was offering her a chance to decide."It's up

Jackson Valor was already standing up for Serenity Lewis even back then!Serenity followed Jackson into the private room. After they sat down, Jackson told the manager to bring over some appetizers."Come, eat something first while we wait for the food. The appetizers here are pretty good," he said as he picked up a piece of tart and handed it to her.Serenity hesitated for a moment before accepting the tart. She took a few small bites.Jackson placed the menu in front of Serenity. "Take a look and see what you’d like to order.""It's okay, just order me anything," said Serenity. Even though she was eating an exquisite-looking tart, it felt tasteless to her. She felt like she was chewing wax.Jackson's eyes narrowed slightly.The air around them instantly felt a bit colder.The manager held his breath. He was afraid that Jackson might fly into a rage.Luckily, a smile appeared on Jackson's face. "Okay, I'll order for you then."He ordered a few things. The manager jotted the

Her body became even stiffer. She looked away almost subconsciously, not wanting him to see the look in her eyes."Did it ever cross your mind that it's exactly because I'm Jackson Valor that I could make your ex-classmate who insulted you get on her knees to apologize to you? From now on, you no longer have to care about what other people think. I can make anyone who looks down on you bow down to you," he said calmly."So? They would bow down to me because of you, not because of me," she said."What's wrong with that? You can borrow my power, what do you think?” He leaned back lazily on the chair and asked her casually, as if he was discussing something very ordinary.Serenity looked at him in confusion. She went to beg him the other day and was met with his refusal, so she thought he was done with her. She thought they would go their separate ways from then on.After all, how could a proud man like him take it well when he gets rejected by a woman?But to her surprise, he sudde

Suddenly, a knock came from the door.Jackson said nonchalantly, "Come in."The door opened. It was the manager. He came in with some waiters to serve the food Jackson ordered. Serenity consciously tried to pull her hands back, but Jackson held onto them and said, "Don't move, they're still cold."The manager and the waiters immediately looked at their hands. Serenity's face turned red.However, Jackson kept warming Serenity's hands as if no one was watching.Was that really... Jackson Valor? The legendary Jackson Valor who would strip the women who tried to seduce him naked and throw them onto the street?It was said that Jackson Valor did not care much for women, but right now, he was treating a very ordinary looking woman... very lovingly!It was unbelievable!The manager was the first to react. He quickly cleared his throat and told the waiters to serve the food and wine. After that, they withdrew from the private room. The manager carefully closed the door behind him."Ma

"Until I'm satisfied," he said.She bit her lip and stared at the glass of wine in his hand. With the light in the room illuminating her face, her slightly trembling eyelashes looked strangely beautiful."Are you afraid that I'd take advantage of you when you're drunk?" he said, as if he could read her mind, "If I really want a woman, I have plenty of ways to get her. I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. Even if I force myself on you right now, no one would stop me."That's true, Serenity laughed to herself. She was overthinking it.She took the glass of wine and drank it all in one go.The wine that slid down her throat was both bitter and sweet.She was not much of a drinker. Even in the past, when she had to socialize because of work, she would only drink some champagne.At the time, she was Zeke Shaw's girlfriend, so no one would force her to drink more.Jackson filled the glass with more wine. She drank her second glass.And just like that, she drank one glass a

Despite stuttering, she managed to finish the sentence."I will," he answered. After all, he promised he would. He had seen her drunk, so he would naturally fulfill his end of the bargain and release her relatives.He took the glass of wine in her hand and gulped it down.She must be really drunk, or she would not have called him "Jack".She had no idea how much he liked to hear her call him "Jack". When she called him Jack with that gentle voice, he felt as if there was someone who would be waiting for him in the middle of the night.She smiled again. It was a really sweet smile. Then, as if she had finished her task, she flung herself into his arms, her hands wrapping around his neck. "Jack, I... I'm so sleepy, I want to... sleep..."After saying that, she actually fell asleep in his arms.He lowered his head and looked at her in a daze.Serenity was very wary of him when she was sober, but when she was sleeping, she had no guard up."Sis, you're cuter when you're drunk," he

"Sometimes, being overly curious can be a bad thing," Lucas looked away and started the car."Mm-hmm, I know," Aria said, trying to appear docile.She had asked around and found out that Lucas Gomez liked women who listened to him. Usually, the more obedient the woman, the longer she could stay by his side. Those who tried hard to be the "exception" and wanted to be his "only one" would get dumped by him really quickly.Although she also wanted to be the "exception" and his "only one", she would not be hasty. She would take her time and make herself more important to him little by little."Lucas, thanks for the necklace you gave me earlier. I love it, but I'm afraid I won't have that many occasions to wear such a beautiful and expensive necklace," Aria first put on a happy expression, then changed it to one of regret.Little did she know how laughable Lucas found her performance, which she thought was perfect.He had simply seen way too many women acting in front of him. "You can
