Chapter 1882
"Mr. Valor is in the memorial hall. He's been in there for a few hours now," Mr. Knot said with concern. "Madam, what happened between you and Mr. Valor?"Serenity didn't know what to tell him and could only say, "I'll go talk to him!" She rushed to the memorial hall.Mr. Knot was about to tell her that Mr. Valor had instructed not to let anyone into the memorial hall, but the words never left his mouth. After all, whenever Mr. Valor gave an instruction, he would always make an exception for his wife! And if something really did happen between the two of them, then maybe everything would be fine once they talked it out, Mr. Knot optimistically thought to himself.Serenity hurried to the memorial hall. She saw Jackson in front of his father's portrait, standing as still as a statue.The soft light in the room fell on him, giving off an indescribable coldness."Jack..." Serenity softly called out, her voice dry and hoarse. Since she left the Valor Residence early this morning, she

"Serenity, do you really think that you can hurt me whenever you want because I love you?" he questioned. "Do you understand that you're the first person who has ever drugged me and is able to stand before me unharmed afterwards?"His words filled her with immense embarrassment. "I... I admit that I did make use of your love for me, but I only did it because I didn't want things to escalate to the point of no return. I don't want you to do something that you would regret afterwards. Jack, do you genuinely think that causing the death of your own mother would punish her for her past actions and bring you happiness?"He suddenly pushed her into a nearby wall and leaned in close, his breath brushing against her face."What makes you so sure that I would regret it? Just because you're a long-time lawyer, you think of yourself as an apostle of justice? How are you so sure that it wouldn't bring me happiness?" he asked with a sneer.She didn't know what to say."Do you have any idea how

She watched in a daze as his face loomed large in front of her, his lips lightly brushing against her cheek and landing near her ear.His voice reached her, saying, "Serenity, I will not forgive you."Her blood seemed to freeze in an instant, as if she had been thrown into an ice cellar.Seeing her friend's tired-looking face, Lisa couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? Did something happen?""I... I did something that hurt Jack," Serenity confessed wryly."You guys got into an argument?" Lisa asked.An argument? Serenity smiled bitterly. She wished it was just an argument. Right now, she didn't even know where Jack was.That day, after he declared that he would not forgive her in the memorial hall, he left the Valor Residence and didn't return home that night.She searched his office, the villa, and even the street where his father passed away, but there was no sign of him.When she asked Connor, he simply told her, "Mr. Valor would like some time alone. He doesn't wish to be

As Lisa entertained these thoughts, her mind became chaotic again, and her chest felt heavy."Terry probably has no idea," Serenity, seemingly able to guess her friend's thoughts, said, "Monica Hart is most likely in Solaria still. If Terry truly wanted to help her, he would have arranged for someone to take the blame for her. He wouldn't have let her get hunted by the police."Lisa looked slightly surprised. She then lowered her gaze and murmured, "Looks like Terry doesn't actually love me or Monica Hart that much." What he loves most is his career and his success. Women are just extra flavors in his life."Lisa, maybe Monica Hart went to Terry's mansion for some other reason. Maybe it's not what you think," Serenity suggested."What other reason could there be for a man to keep a woman in his mansion overnight, more than once?" Lisa questioned. "If the White family wanted to acquire the Hart family's properties, couldn't they discuss business during the day? Why must she stay ove

Obviously, the teacher did not want Fred to continue attending the kindergarten. Even though Fred gained admission to the kindergarten through the Valor family's connection, he was the child of a criminal and his mother committed suicide in prison, so his presence in the kindergarten negatively impacted the kindergarten's enrollment."I see no difference between what those kids said and Fred fighting back. I've never felt that it's wrong to fight back after getting insulted!" Serenity spoke frankly. "If you deem Fred unsuitable to remain here, then I'll make arrangements to transfer all three children to another kindergarten. Surely, I’ll be able to find a suitable kindergarten for them in Solaria!"After saying that, Serenity got down, her gaze level with the boy whose face was covered in bruises. "I know it must hurt. I'll take you to a doctor, okay? Don't worry, you'll heal in no time."Fred gazed at Serenity, his beautiful eyes widening in obvious shock. Apparently, he didn't ex

The doctor confirmed that Fred's injuries were superficial, and they would not leave any permanent marks on his face. He was given some ointment for the injuries.Serenity was initially worried that a five-year-old child might not understand how to apply the ointment and might accidentally eat it, so she kept the ointment and planned to apply it for Fred herself every day.However, that evening, her daughter came and asked her for the ointment. "Mommy, I'll help Fred apply the ointment."Serenity raised an eyebrow. "Do you know how to do it?""Of course!" The little girl nodded vigorously. "I'm not a child anymore!"It was quite amusing to hear a five-year-old child declare that she wasn't a child anymore. But Serenity also knew that Fred was always guarded and tense around her. Every time she approached him, she could feel the tension in his body.After thinking for a moment, Serenity handed the ointment to her daughter. "Then go and apply it for Fred. But remember, the ointment

"My mother tried to hurt your mother and your brother. Maybe, one day, I might try to hurt you too," Fred said, with a rare expression of self-doubt on his face. In front of other people, no matter how harshly he was bullied, he never showed any sense of inferiority. He would only feel inferior in front of her."Why would you hurt me?" Jacqueline blinked innocently.Their eyes met. She was like a pampered little princess, free of worries. He should be hating her for making him stay in the worst place possible for him, and for treating him like a mere toy.But he couldn't bring himself to dislike her. In fact, he wanted to stay with her."They say my mother hurt your family, so I'll definitely hurt you too one day," he explained. The children in kindergarten were not the only ones who said this. The servants in the Valor family frequently whispered it behind closed doors too."You're not gonna hurt me!" Jacqueline vehemently refuted without hesitation."How can you be so sure?" He

"Madam, you should go and see for yourself if Master Jackson is there," Mr. Knot suggested."Mr. Knot, thank you!" Serenity replied, suddenly standing up and rushing to the door."Madam, you're going now?" Mr. Knot exclaimed, surprised. "It's already so late. Why not go tomorrow...""I want to see Jack right now!" Serenity insisted, unable to contain her eagerness. She wanted to see him so badly."In that case, I'll ask the driver to take you there," Mr. Knot quickly offered.A few minutes later, a black car slowly drove away from the Valor Residence. Serenity prayed in silence, hoping that Jackson was really at the old mansion.The past few days had been agonizing for her. Every day felt like torture, with her mind constantly replaying the conversations and scenes at the highway entrance and the memorial hall.He said he would never forgive her.When he said those words, it felt as if there was no emotion behind them, like he was just stating a fact. But every time Serenity re
