He ignored her request. He simply stared at her and asked, "Would you hurt me, Sis?"Her entire body shook, and her throat tightened. The words she wanted to say got stuck in her throat.He stared at her fixedly with eyes that tried to see through her."Was that a difficult question?" he asked when she remained silent for a long time. "It's okay if you're unwilling to answer that, but I still want to tell you–– "He slowly bent down until his mouth was next to her ear. He whispered, "Never hurt me, understand?"As long as she did not hurt him, he would spoil her and give her everything she ever wanted. He would protect her for the rest of her life and keep her safe and sound.As long as she did not hurt him!Serenity sat uneasily in the large room. She checked the time on her phone from time to time, wondering how much longer she had to wait to hear news of her best friend.Jackson had changed into casual attire. He was currently sitting on the sofa and reading some reports.

"The CEO of the White Maple Group and the current head of the White family," replied Jackson. He then looked at Serenity curiously, "You don't know who he is? Has Lisa not mentioned him before?"Serenity shook her head. She was sure that she had never heard her best friend mention the name Terry White before.However, she had heard of the White Maple Group before. It was not a local company but it had business dealings in Solaria. It was a famous shipping company.But how did Lisa get involved with this Terry White guy? What puzzled Serenity even more was the fact that Terry White personally took Lisa away.Terry White was in the Maybach that she saw earlier?Serenity thought her best friend was abducted, but that did not seem to be the case now."I'll go look for her!" Serenity turned around abruptly. She wanted to go to the address she just heard to find her best friend."You think you can get in?" Jackson asked flatly."......" Serenity halted. After hesitating for a moment,

Money? Serenity did not have money. She did not have any connections either.Things she had learned over the years would be useless to him. The team of lawyers in Valor Group was simply more qualified than her.The only thing she had left was herself. She was worthless, but it was all she could offer.Serenity looked down and sank to her knees. "I’m begging you, please. Take me to Terry White. I need to find Lisa."Jackson's gaze darkened. He glared at her with a look of shock and a hint of anger."Do you know what you're doing?" Jackson glowered, anger brewing in his chest.Jackson knew Serenity had her pride. Even if hurt or ridiculed, she would protect her last bit of dignity, the dignity that had been trampled on countless times.It was the only reason why she had rejected him repeatedly. However, she was willing to let go of her dignity and beg for Lisa's sake. So, was Lisa more important than anything else to her?"I know." Serenity lowered her head and said without hesit

Serenity fastened the seat belt. She watched in disbelief as Jackson drove the car out of the Valor Residence. Earlier, the person on the phone had informed Jackson of the place where Terry White had headed after taking Lisa away. Jackson was clearly driving in that direction.Was Jackson... Was he taking her there?Jackson's face was livid. His tightly pursed lips and darkened eyes clearly showed his displeasure.Serenity kept staring, wanting to say something, but then she stopped and said nothing. She feared making him angrier, which would make things worst.At the moment, finding Lisa and figuring out what was going on was the top priority.Serenity figured that she could wait until Jackson was less angry and then thank him. When the car arrived at Crescent Bay, the security guards stopped them."Send Terry White a message. Tell him Jackson Valor wants to see him. Ask him if he'll come or not." Jackson was straight to the point.The security guards were clearly astonished

Was that even a question? Of course Lisa was anxious, particularly when she was unsure when Terry would let her go."I don't want to make my friend and parents worried," Lisa said.What Lisa said seemed to have triggered Terry. His eyes turned cold, his smile ice-cold."You don't want to make them worried, but did you ever think about me when you left me before? Whether I would be worried?"A look of guilt flashed across her face. "I... Well, it was an emergency...""Emergency?" Terry snorted. "By emergency, do you mean running home to help your friend in the lawsuit? You didn't even tell me anything and returned to your country. Were you just playing games with me?"Lisa knew she was in the wrong for ditching Terry. Lisa had been traveling abroad to see her future school and had met Terry during her trip. Lisa did not think about what would happen between the two. They had met as fellow countrymen in a foreign country and had then gotten together naturally.Terry would take L

Lisa felt guilty as she recalled that night again.Lisa blamed it on her excitement that night. She had been in high spirits and had been unable to control her drinking. She thought having some fruit wine would be fine, but she had ended up so drunk and turned everything into a mess. Sure enough, her drunkenness soon led to mistakes.Unfortunately, Lisa had woken up and remembered everything she had done while drunk. She remembered how she had forced herself on Terry and told him countless sweet words.Lisa even recalled the sweet words afterward. She found them very similar to the sweet words men would say to women in TV shows. Some of the lines she had said were taken from the TV series she had been watching. In conclusion, too many romantic shows were simply unhealthy. She had ended up saying all sorts of sweet words she learned by watching too many shows while drunk.Surprisingly, lady luck had been smiling upon her, and the sweet words worked! She had thought a handsome man li

"I don't know him." Still, Lisa could guess why Jackson had come to her. It probably had something to do with Serenity."If you don't know him well, why would he come to you like this at night?" Terry's voice was ice-cold. "Would he treat another woman like this? You didn't look for me all these years because of him?!"There was an imperceptible hint of jealousy in his voice.Lisa felt speechless. Oh, please! That was only possible if Jackson had taken a liking to her, but the truth was that Jackson had his eyes on Serenity!"It's not about him. I just didn't think to look for you," Lisa clarified. When she returned home, so many things had happened that she had no time to think about anything else.Besides, Lisa only thought of their encounter as a vacation fling. She regarded their night as an accident. She even planned to keep this secret forever and never told her parents and Serenity anything.Terry was clearly indignant at her reply. He pressed his thin lips together and sh

"You must be Serenity Lewis." Terry's statement was not a question but an affirmation. When Terry happened to see Lisa on the street that day, he had begun to investigate everything about her.Serenity's information was naturally among the information he found.Serenity Lewis, Lisa's best friend. Three years ago, Lisa had suddenly returned home to help Serenity fight the lawsuit. She had taken the earliest flight back and spared no effort to help Serenity find a lawyer and gather evidence.In other words, Serenity was the reason why Lisa had left him so suddenly and quickly.Terry felt somewhat uncomfortable at that thought.If Serenity was a man, Terry would have treated her as a love rival."Yes. That's me." Serenity raised her chin."You shouldn't meddle in our affairs. It's best to leave us alone. I never show mercy to women," Terry warned icily.Lisa got anxious. "Terry! Don't drag my friend into our business!"Terry felt the sting of her reaction seeing Lisa getting an
