"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

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

"Huh? You'll wait in the car?" The team leader was obviously surprised. He thought they would stick around to keep an eye on them since the ring was worth more than $10,000."Ms. Hall is a popular celebrity. If we stand here while you guys look for the ring, the fans will crowd around us in no time,” said Kristin.The team leader thought it made sense.Jenny's car was parked nearby. Even from the car, she could get a good view of Serenity pitifully rummaging through the trash cans."That's what she deserves," Kristin laughed sinisterly, "She was so arrogant a moment ago, but look at her now. She's rummaging through garbage."Jenny said indifferently, "Let's go back after we keep this up a bit more." With how pathetic Serenity looked now, Jenny no longer felt threatened by her.Zeke once loved this woman, but in the end, she was just a woman who was abandoned by Zeke.But back then, in the prison, even with all ten fingers continuously dripping blood, even with all ten fingers br

Jenny and Kristin had seen enough. They were getting ready to drive away.Kristin said, "How long do you plan to make her do this for?"Jenny said casually, "Until I go to bed tonight I suppose. I'll call their director and say that if they really can't find the ring, then forget about it. I'll just consider it my misfortune.""Wow, you're really letting her off easy," said Kristin, "If Zeke could see the way she looked now, he would probably throw up. She's not worthy of a man like Zeke Shaw, unlike you.”Jenny had just started the red Maserati when several police cars suddenly drove past them. In no time, the Maserati was surrounded by police cars.A police officer got out and knocked on the Maserati's window.Jenny quickly brought down the car window. The police said, "We received a report that a ring worth more than $10,000 was lost here. We will be launching an investigation into this matter to see if the ring was lost or if it was stolen.”"An investigation?" Jenny and Kri

Jenny did think that she was superior to them, but with a crowd around her, how could she say that out loud?Some of the onlookers were even recording with their phone. Jenny was furious, but she had to maintain her composure.Not long after, a lot of people came from the Sanitation Office too. They joined in on the search for the ring together with the people brought by the police.And so, on that cold day, Jenny and Kristin stood next to piles of garbage and had to endure their stench the whole time while they were questioned by the police and surrounded by a crowd.The ring could not be found, of course. When the police finally let Jenny and Kristin leave, they were close to fainting from the stench."Jenny, what should we do? This is a big deal now. It's classified as a criminal case," Kristin said uneasily back in the car. "Who the hell called the cops anyway?""I'll have someone go talk to the police so that the case will be forgotten," Jenny said with a gloomy face.She w
