Chapter 318
"Fine," Lisa sighed, sounding as if she was resigned to her fate. If this was how he was going to get revenge, then at the very least, she was mentally prepared for it, so it would not be too bad in the end. "Can you, um... give me back my phone now?"She had not forgotten that the main reason why she had followed him to the mansion was to get her phone back.He scrutinized her for a few moments before picking up the phone on the nightstand and tossing it to her."Ah!" She yelped as she narrowly caught her phone in her hands. This phone had cost her a fortune and she had to save up for ages before she could afford it! If it really fell and broke the screen, she'd have to spend hundreds of dollars to fix it! It hurt her even thinking about it!Besides, if it did break, she would never dare to ask him to pay for the damages, anyway!Lisa then turned on her phone and noticed that it was already 9 pm. There were also several missed calls from her parents, so she called them right aw
Chapter 319
Lisa was well-aware that she had a weakness for handsome men. She'd fall in love with this idol one day and a different one the next day, her adoration as fickle as the weather, but when it was all said and done, her love for each and every one of her favorite idols had always been serious and sincere!Each time when she was in love with a certain idol, she would be his most loyal and die-hard fan. She would never hesitate to spend money to go to his concerts, get his autograph, and do everything a fan would do. If the particular idol held a fan meeting, she was sure to attend.But all this happened before Serenity got into trouble, of course. She did not chase after celebrities as much as she did anymore because most of her time was spent finding a way to help her friend overturn the court's conviction.Because of this, all the recordings of her going to concerts, autograph sessions, and fan meetings were precious memorabilia of her idyllic youth. Yet now, all these beautiful memor

Lisa had not recovered from the shock yet when she got home. Was she really dating Terry White now? She had been wondering about the ways that this man might try to get revenge, but she never thought that this would be his way of doing it!She was not that experienced in dating, but either way, she decided that all she had to do was follow Terry's lead. If that was not good enough, she would just consult her TV dramas for guidance.The only problem was that he... wanted her to fall in love with him.Would he dump her as soon as she fell in love with him, then? Lisa shook her head helplessly. In any case, she would just date him for a few months and then pretend that she had fallen in love with him. When he dumped her, she would act as if she was completely heartbroken, and then the whole affair would be over.She sighed heavily as she thought of this. Never would she ever think that her first experience in dating someone would be this way. But then when she remembered how she feare

Serenity once again walked out of a job interview in failure. She smiled wryly.She had thought that she was mentally prepared for this. She was even willing to take a delivery job that did not even come with a basic salary, but even there, her application was rejected.Serenity glanced at the time. It was almost noon now, so she stopped by a small restaurant where she ordered a bowl of noodles that cost barely more than a dollar—the cheapest item in the restaurant.There was an old television in the restaurant with the news on it. It was a rerun of yesterday's news, so Serenity did not pay much attention to it at first, but when she heard a familiar company's name, her head instantly shot up.That... was the company where she had gotten an interview for a delivery job previously. It was the same company whose boss had called Jackson to tell him about her interview. Jackson had told her off-handedly that he would eliminate this company.And now... the news reported that the comp

"He wasn't disturbing me at all," said Serenity. "Besides, your son is really cute. I think he wants to try the noodles because he's been staring at the bowl the whole time.""He might not eat it even if you offered it to him," said the woman. "This boy just likes to join in on the fun."As the woman spoke, Serenity noticed that she was making hand gestures in front of the boy. She was taken aback for a moment when she realized that those gestures were... sign language!"Is this boy..." Serenity blurted out."He can't hear," the woman replied. "But he knows a little sign language now, so if I tell him something in sign language, he's able to understand me."Then, the woman slowly said the words "Apologize to Auntie" while simultaneously using sign language to say the same thing.Following that, the boy turned to Serenity and bowed to her, signifying that he was saying sorry to her.Serenity could not help but ruffle the boy's hair affectionately. The boy was so young, yet he cou

"By the way," the woman added, "my name is Clara Wells. You can just call me Clare. What about you? What's your name?""Serenity Lewis," she answered, the dark clouds in her eyes now dissipated. "You can call me Serenity, Clare."Clara's eyes trembled as she looked at Serenity.After giving her name and contact number, Serenity left. A woman over 50 then walked up to Clara's side and asked her, "What were you talking about with that person?""She applied for the rider's job with us just now," Clara replied, "and I've given her the job. She'll start working tomorrow.""That young woman, a rider? Something's fishy here. Women like her would usually apply for office jobs, wouldn't they?"Because of the low salary, only people over the age of 50 ever asked about the job, and even they decided against taking the job because the wages were too low and the working hours were too long."She has a criminal record," Clara explained. "She was in a car crash that led to someone's death. Sti

Serenity's first reaction was the thought that Jackson might attack that small restaurant. If he could destroy an up-and-coming company to the point of bankruptcy, there was certainly no limit to what he could do to that small restaurant."No..." she stammered. "No, I never thought of it that way."She did not want to see the small restaurant suffer because of her. Besides, she could tell that Clare was a decent person, and she even had a disabled son to take care of, so Serenity was sure that Clare must have a lot of burdens to bear."That's good, then," Jackson smiled. "So just keep on living here and don't worry about anything."Serenity pursed her lips and said nothing. Jackson took her hands and placed her palms against his cheeks. "Since you insist on finding your own job," he said, "I'll give in and let you have your way. But remember, no matter how late you get home, you must wish me good night every day, okay?"She was slightly stunned, having never expected that he w

"I'm so sorry," Clara said, "Yanny's never like this usually. He seems to like you very much.""It's okay," Serenity assured her before picking the boy up in her arms. "I like him very much too."The boy did not struggle when Serenity picked him up. Instead, he happily went along with it and even smiled at her when he was in her arms. But that smile was a mixture of timidness and admiration, which made her feel inexplicably sad.She tousled his hair and said to him, "Hello, Yanny!"But the little boy could not hear her, so he had no idea what she was saying to him. All he did was look up at her with eyes full of curiosity.Clara, who had been watching her son interacting with Serenity from the side, suddenly looked gloomy as a look of heartache flashed across her eyes. Did Yanny... regard Serenity as that person? Perhaps that was why he liked her so much... It was a pity that... they could never meet that person anymore.Serenity turned to Clara and asked her, "Can you teach me
