Chapter 1767
Lucas turned to Jackson with an indifferent look and asked, "Don't tell me that you suspect me of being involved in this matter?""I know you're not," said Jackson. "I just want to know the reason."Lucas pursed his thin lips. If he did not reveal his reason to Jackson now, he would still need to inform the police about it later, and Jackson would find out from them sooner or later anyway."A production crew under the Gomez company suddenly had an uncommonly high demand for gunpowder," Lucas explained, "far exceeding the amount usually required by a film crew, so I asked someone to look into it, but I never thought that I'd find out that one of Jenny Hall's obsessive fans was involved, and the trail led to Jenny herself. I had initially planned to track her definite whereabouts before informing the police about it because I never thought that…"Jackson sarcastically interrupted, "You never thought that what Jenny Hall planned to do far exceeded your expectations, huh?"Lucas purse

Lucas looked up at the man in front of him and said, "So what if that's true? Besides, I think she wouldn't just do nothing and watch me die even if I hadn't saved her life or Caden's."Because she was not that type of person!Ever since she was young, justice had always been important to Serenity. Why else would she have chosen to become a lawyer? Especially when she had once again chosen the same career path after having gone through dramatic ups and downs in her life.What had attracted Lucas to Serenity, more so than their encounter when they were young, was her steadfast and unchanging righteousness as well as her calm elegance. For someone who was used to the fake masks and intrigues of the wealthy society, these qualities were indeed precious to him. Besides, if his attraction to her had really been just because of his childhood obsession, he would have fallen in love with Lynette Blossom instead of her!"That's enough!" yelled Jackson. "So what even if she wouldn't watch yo

At that moment, her mind was filled with thoughts of her child!"Caden's fine," Jackson assured her. "His stomach has been flushed. Jenny Hall never revealed what the antidote was, but the police found out that she purchased some sleeping pills at the pharmacy recently, which is consistent with the doctor's suspicion.""Sleeping pills?" Serenity was startled. "How much did he end up swallowing? How long will he sleep?""He didn't swallow all that much," Jackson explained. "He'll wake up tomorrow. By then, I'll ask the doctor to give him a thorough examination. Now, don't worry about him anymore. Even the doctor said it's not that serious."Only then did Serenity sigh in relief, and she began to notice that she was in a room that she did not recognize. There were also many instruments in the room, some of which had wires that were connected to her fingertips."Am I in a… hospital?""Yeah," Jackson replied. "You'll have to stay here for a few days. They're well-equipped to accurate

As he kissed her, all the things Lucas said to him once again filled his head.He had never felt guilty about getting what he wanted through dirty tricks. Even his grandfather used to teach him to get what he wanted through all means necessary. The ends always justified the means for him, and back then, he did indeed get what he desired.Yet now, he was terrified that she might find out how despicable he had been in the past. She had been so disgusted with him when she learned that he had done nothing to help her back when she was thrown in jail, so he wondered anxiously how she would feel if she found out about his other unsavory deeds.Guilt had never been a part of his vocabulary before, yet now, it engulfed him and was eating him up from the inside."Serenity…" he murmured her name after the kiss ended. "Everything I've done was done because I love you too much.""What's wrong?" she asked. "Why are you saying that all of a sudden?""No reason." His eyelashes trembled slightly

"Jack, I've already forgiven you!"She spoke earnestly, desperately trying to ease his feelings of regret, guilt, pain, and remorse… was this not the exact reason why she did not tell him about the true state of her hands?"I've truly forgiven you," she added, "so stop blaming yourself like this!"He stared at her, stunned. He was struck by how serious she was in telling him that she had forgiven him, yet his heart still felt so heavy."You didn't even know me back then," she continued, "and I was nothing but a stranger who meant nothing to you at the time."In that case… Would she forgive him for what he had done after having known her? She had no idea that Lynette Blossom would never have had the chance to pretend to be her without his secret help. If he had not done all that, Lucas would never have fallen for Lynette's lies and misunderstood Serenity, which meant that Lucas would have jumped in and helped her with Lisa's medical expenses!And that meant that Serenity would nev

If Lucas had promised her too quickly and too readily, Jenny would have hesitated and doubted him, but after hearing that Lucas's promise came with a condition, she felt much more assured that he would keep his word."Fine," she said. "I'll tell you what happened and how Serenity fell into the sea. But I must warn you… Lucas, I'm afraid that you might wish you’d never found out the truth once you hear it."His expression turned stone cold as he listened to Jenny recounting what had happened in the past."I hope that you'll keep the promise you gave me, Lucas Gomez."All her life, Jenny never felt like she owed anyone anything. Sure, she might have caused her sister's death, Zeke's heavy injuries, and her parents' misery, but she had never felt sorry for any of that.If her parents had not favored her sister over her, she would not have had the heart to kill her own sister. As for Zeke, if he had shown more sincerity toward her back then when she was in trouble, she would never hav

Lucas returned to his car. He looked out at the dark night outside the window and could not help but chuckle wryly.So that was the truth behind the supposed accident! Serenity had chosen to jump into the sea–and it was all for Jackson!She loved him so deeply… So deeply that she would sacrifice her own life, along with that of her three children, just to save Jackson, even though she had risked her own life to carry the triplets in her belly, so there was no denying how much she loved her children.Nevertheless… the one she loved most was still Jackson Valor!— Caden finally woke up, and Serenity, accompanied by Jackson, went to visit him at the hospital where he was staying. Cynthia was with the boy in his room. She was the only person from the Jenkins family that Jackson allowed to come to visit Caden at the hospital. Meanwhile, the rest of the Jenkins completely regretted how they had treated Caden when they found out that the boy was the Valor family's missing child. If on

"But I don't like them," said Caden."Why not?" asked Cynthia. "They're good people!""But they'll separate me from you, won't they? I might not get to live with you anymore! I don't like them, and I don't want them to be my Daddy and Mommy!"As Caden spoke, he reached out both of his arms and hugged Cynthia, burying his little face in her chest. He was clearly very attached to her. And now, he was back to being an obedient little kitty.Cynthia looked sad when she heard what Caden had said. She turned to Jackson and Serenity and asked, "Are you really going to take Caden away, Uncle Jackson, Aunt Serenity?""Caden is our son," replied Jackson. "Naturally, he'll come back to our family and live with us, but if you'd like to meet each other, you can always come and visit.""I don't want to live with you!" argued Caden. "I just want to live with Sis!"The boy then hugged Cynthia a little tighter now, and the look he gave Jackson and Serenity was even more full of hostility. To him
