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

Jackson Valor embraced Serenity, lowered his head, and gently pressed his face to her neck. He naturally knew what she meant when she said she smelled.Jenny played a malicious prank on Serenity today and made her rummage through the garbage for a long time. But... "Sis, no matter how much you smell, you don't have to avoid me.""But..." She was a little embarrassed. She was not sure if it was because of her smell or because of the hug."We said that we'll be relying on each other. Why would you avoid me? Would you avoid me if I smell bad one day?” he asked.Serenity remained silent for a moment before she took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I understand. I won't do that again."A smile appeared on his face. He grabbed her hand and led her back to the small rental house.He had prepared a meal for her. Although the food had already gone cold, Serenity enjoyed it very much."What happened today?" Jackson asked.Serenity hesitated for a second but ultimately decided to tell him t

What kind of pain did one have to go through before one could talk about these things so casually?"I won't forgive anyone who hurts you from now on," he said, as if he was swearing an oath.She rubbed his black hair and said, "Alright, enough about that. Let's eat." She lowered her head and continued eating.His eyes flickered as if he was thinking about something.The incident indeed caused quite a stir. However, Jenny could not believe that her company failed to suppress the news from trending.The internet was now filled with the news of her losing her ring and the sanitation workers having to help her rummage through trash to find it.The accompanying photos showed her standing next to garbage piles in glamorous clothes with several sanitation workers nearby bending down to look in the garbage.Such a huge contrast made many people upset. They accused her of having character issues and being snobbish.Some netizens commented, "She lost the ring, but the sanitation workers
