She smiled. She thought he was just joking. It was an ad to celebrate the marriage between the Shaw family and the Hall family. Who would dare to take it down? Her vision was dark. She could feel the warmth of his hands that were pressing against her skin.After a moment, she pulled down his hands, looked up at him and said, "Jack, thank you." She thought he had said that to comfort her. "Let's go. I'm hungry." She took his hand and walked away towards home.Jack's eyes stole one last glance at the large advertisement before he followed after her.When they reached the rental house, Serenity went to the security booth to pick up a delivery. It was a sweater she bought.She opened the packaging, took out the sweater and touched it to inspect the texture. It was okay; worth the price at least."Jack, try this sweater on and see if it fits," she said.It was a blue and green checkered sweater. After Jackson put it on, Serenity's eyes brightened. Wow, he looked good in it.She su

He stared at her. "Do you think I earn too little money?""Ah, no!" She denied it. "I just wish you could have a better life." Maybe she wouldn't amount to much, but she wished for a better life for him."I will have a better life. And when the time comes, I can give you whatever kind of life you want, too," he looked at her seriously and said.Obviously, this was just a game to him, but now, he really wanted to give her a different kind of life. It would be something that he could easily do.Serenity smiled. She did not believe that Jack could give her the kind of life she wanted. However, she did not want to hurt his self-esteem, so she simply said, "Nice. Then I'll wait for you to get rich and just be a leech and live off you.”"Okay," he replied as a glint flashed across his deep, dark eyes. If she wanted, he could support her for the rest of her life.The next day, when Connor Gunn went to the pantry, he heard some co-workers chatting with each other. "Have you seen the swea

"I believe there are 99 of them," answered Connor. He recalled a news interview in which Zeke Shaw said that there were a total of 99 ads to represent 99 lifetimes of love.This was something often repeated by Jenny Hall's fans. Jenny Hall was a popular celebrity in the entertainment industry with lots of fans."Take them all down," said Jackson."All of them?" Connor was shocked."All of them," Jackson confirmed."Okay, I'm on it," answered Connor. Mr. Valor wanted to take down the Shaw family's advertisements? Did the Shaw family or the Hall family offend Mr. Valor? Or did Mr. Valor disapprove of the marriage between the two families? But didn't he accept their invitation to the engagement party?Connor was puzzled. Suddenly, with a jolt, a certain possibility occurred to him.Maybe Mr. Valor wanted to take down the advertisements because of... Serenity Lewis? Connor was surprised by his own thought.Would Mr. Valor actually do something like this for a woman? He would offend

"Who are you calling your brother-in-law?" A voice abruptly sounded. A voluptuous woman in a brown coat and fashionable clothes walked over. When she saw Aria, she scoffed, "My, my, look who it is. It's the murderer's sister."Aria's face instantly stiffened. She recognized the woman. It was Jenny Hall, Zeke Shaw's current fiancée.Jenny stepped forward and stared at Aria in contempt. "I remember you. You're a small-time actress, aren't you? Did you come to beg Zeke to give you a leading role? Is that why you keep calling him your brother-in-law? You seriously have no shame.”Aria felt humiliated. There were other people in the corridor, and they were staring at them as if they're watching a show.Aria could only curse Serenity silently. If Serenity had not murdered someone, Aria would have become a popular star by now. She would not have to go through all this.Aria had completely forgotten that the reason she was able to get some good roles in the past was all thanks to Serenity

Jenny also frowned. She turned to Zeke. After all, the advertisement was placed by the Shaw family.Zeke said, "I'll go find out what the situation is..."Before he could even finish speaking, his phone rang. Zeke picked up the call and his expression instantly turned ugly. "What? Taken down? All of them? That's a breach of contract!""They said they'll take down the advertisement even if they have to pay the full penalty,” the manager in charge of this matter said anxiously on the phone. "We immediately contacted other companies but none of them are willing to do this advertisement."In other words, besides the companies owned by the Halls and the Shaws, no other building would provide a surface for the advertisement."Who the hell is trying to mess with the Shaws?" Zeke asked angrily."It's the Valors," the manager replied. "This matter was personally overseen by Connor Gunn, the Shaw Group's secretary."Zeke was shocked. Connor Gunn... That's Jackson Valor's personal secretar

His body stiffened slightly, but he didn't resist. He leaned his head on her shoulder and let her scent envelope him.The scent that carried a faint fragrance made him feel safe for some reason.He felt like he could completely relax when he was around her."You told me you'll never abandon me, right? Me too. I'll never abandon you too. No matter what happens in the future, I'll always stay by your side."Her voice slowly reached his ears."Really? You'll stay by my side no matter what happens?" he asked softly."Of course," she replied, as if it was the most natural thing in the world."You promise you won't be scared of me?" he asked.Serenity laughed softly. "Why would I be scared of you? Our Jack is such a good boy.”Our Jack... The way she said that made it sound like he was hers, but he did not dislike it. In fact, he actually... kinda liked it.He lifted his head, and suddenly, their faces were really close to each other; the tips of their noses were even touching.Sh
Chapter 32
Serenity did not expect to see Jenny again so soon.Jenny was still the same as she was the first time Serenity saw her – gorgeous look, impeccable makeup, and fashionable clothes. She was a star in the entertainment industry and a famous socialite in the city.Even when Jenny visited Serenity in jail to pluck out Serenity's nails, she was still dressed in expensive, branded clothes. She looked completely out of place in the gloomy prison.She was almost glowing.But it was exactly this famous star that gave the cruel order to pluck out Serenity's nails in a sinister voice!It also became Serenity's lingering nightmare!Kristin Fender had also come with Jenny. When she saw Serenity, she immediately mocked her. "Look who it is, Jenny. It's your sister's murderer! She's actually working as a sanitation worker now! This must be karma."Serenity's face paled but she did not say anything. She merely lowered her head and continued to sweep."You have such thick skin. If I were to ki

Serenity found it laughable. "You should tell that to my sister, not me. Excuse me, I have to get back to work.”Kristin yelled angrily, "It's your fault the 3D projection ads for Jenny's marriage were taken down! Because you hit and killed Jackson Valor's fiancee, he's holding the Shaw family responsible. Meanwhile, here you are, cleaning the streets without a care in the world."Serenity was surprised. She did not expect it to be the work of Jackson Valor.Jackson Valor... It was thanks to him that she was able to escape from William Sanders that time.That man was the "god" of Solaria. He controlled the great Valor Group. No one dared to offend him. His words were like imperial edicts in this city.Her relationship with Jackson Valor was indeed a bit complicated.The reason Zeke Shaw was so eager to break up with her three years ago and the reason no lawyer in Solaria dared to take her case was exactly because of Jackson Valor.The reason the prison guards did not care when s
