Chapter 387
Perhaps Serenity was a little impulsive when she said that last night. But… it was the truth. It seems that at some point, she had fallen for this man named Jackson Valor. Toward him, she felt both fear and admiration. Although they were contradicting feelings, they still existed together. “That means you wish to be with me, yes?” asked Jackson. “Huh?” His question caught her by surprise. Suddenly, she remembered how he pulled her into his arms after she confessed her feelings for him. “Then what do I have to do to make you like me only, and not any other man?” When Serenity heard what he said, she blurted out in response, “You mean… like a boyfriend?” Jackson murmured in reply, “Boyfriend, huh? Do you wish to date me?” Date me? Her mind went blank when she heard those words. Perhaps she had never imagined the two of them in such a relationship. The corners of Jackson’s mouth were upturned. “Then we’ll do just that. How do you feel about us dating?” he asked. “Sure,”
Chapter 388
“Turns out I wasn’t mistaken at all. It really was you.” Lucas glanced at Clara with an indifferent expression. “Let me guess. You want me to keep what I saw a secret from Wilson?” Clara’s body trembled the moment she heard him mention Wilson’s name. It’s been such a long time since she last heard someone talking about him. It was a name that she once loved, but also hated. Now, she just wanted to stay as far as possible away from that person, so she could continue her life in peace.“Yes,” affirmed Clara through gritted teeth. “I understand that I don’t have the right to tell you what to do, but I beg your mercy. Just pretend that you didn’t see me!” Clara’s tone indicated that she had accepted her position as an inferior in this negotiation. Even if he wanted her to grovel at his feet, she likely would have done so without hesitation. “You probably know that for the past few years, he’s been on the search for you,” said Lucas. Clara pursed her lips and remained silent. He

Perhaps there was more to the story than a simple car accident. Lucas pondered in silence and laughed to himself. The only fatality from the car accident was Mira Hall, Jackson’s fiancee. Yet, Serenity and Jackson were dating today. If it really were a plot to remove Mira from the picture, then Jackson would have investigated the matter. Why was he being so worked up about it?It’s just that…“When did Serenity start working at your shop?” asked Lucas out of the blue.“Huh?” Even Clara was surprised by his question. After a moment, she answered, “I guess about half a month ago? She’s helping us with order deliveries.” “How is she as a worker?” inquired Lucas. “She’s pretty good. Serenity’s a diligent worker and rarely messes up our orders. I’ve never heard her complain about being tired…” As Clara spoke about Serenity, Lucas propped up his face and wore an intrigued expression. His lips were curled into a smile, and there was a renewed gentle look on his face compared to bef

The landlord’s reply pissed off Grayson to no end. He was about to ask the landlord about the room when the man hung up.“What’s going on? Did something happen to the urn?” asked Catherine anxiously. “The landlord said someone went there last night and took it away!” replied Grayson. “What do you mean? What about our money? If not for that damned urn, that girl would never give us fifty million!” Catherine began panicking. All of a sudden, a possibility popped up in her mind. “Right, she must’ve hired someone to take it away…” With a frown, Grayson dialed Serenity’s number. A moment later, she answered the call. “What’s the matter?” “Listen, I’ve thought about it, and since you’re still my daughter, if you can’t fork out the fifty million you promised yesterday, I’ll accept half that amount first, and I’ll tell you where your mother’s buried. Didn’t you say that you were getting along well with Jackson? He shouldn’t have a problem coming up with that amount, right?” Althou

If he had known that the girl had such ability, he should have treated her better from the beginning. But now, it was useless, even if Grayson regretted it.When Catherine heard her husband's words, she couldn't help but bitterly say, "How did Jackson fall for her? She's a girl who has been to prison! And she was responsible for his fiancée's death!""How would I know?" Grayson replied impatiently."Well, either way, there must be more to it than meets the eye," Catherine said. "She's nothing like our darling Aria, who's open and honest. I'm sure she can even marry into the Gomez family someday. Didn't Aria also fund this trip that we're on?"Grayson's mood improved slightly when he thought about his daughter. All his hopes were now pinned on her.On the other side, Jackson returned the phone to Serenity, his eyes flashing with a hint of sternness."What kind of fate do you wish for your father?"He asked her the question with a smile, but she understood the fierceness in his
Chapter 392
Did Jackson... really like her now? Serenity couldn't help but wonder, 'But how long can this feeling last?' It was like when her mother married her father. Her mother must have thought that her father loved her very much. But now, it seems like no trace of that love was left in her father's heart. The once profound love became nothing more than a joke as time went by.Even back when Serenity was with Zeke, didn't they have a passionate love? She thought she had found someone worth entrusting her life to, but that person had easily turned around and severed their relationship!"Do you also think I'm just playing with your feelings?" Jackson suddenly asked.Serenity froze, not knowing how to answer for a moment. Deep down, she had such thoughts. Even if he wasn't just playing around now, she wasn't confident in how long his so-called feelings would last. Perhaps a year, two years... or maybe just a few months."Well then, tell me. What should I do for you to believe that I'm ser
Chapter 393
"You better not even think about breaking up," Jackson whispered with a seductive gaze that was filled with endless determination. "Since you've agreed to be in a relationship with me, I'm the only one you can ever be with! And you will also be my only one."His voice was so alluring, drawing her in tightly!...After Serenity finally finished her lunch in Jackson's office, she quickly packed up and left the CEO's room. As she walked out, she came face to face with Connor. Connor politely and with a hint of respect said, "Ms. Lewis, are you leaving?""Yes," Serenity replied."Have a safe journey," Connor said.Once Serenity entered the elevator, one of the mid-level employees standing next to Connor couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Gunn, who is she?"After all, that woman just now was dressed in cheap clothes and didn't seem like someone from the company. Yet, Jackson's personal secretary treated her with such respect. It was known that very few people in the company received such

"I'm sure he will. Also, Clara, you still have a long way to go. It's a bit pessimistic to say such things. Who knows, the future might become more exciting," Serenity said.Clara looked somewhat surprised as she gazed at Serenity. "You seem different.""Different?" Serenity was puzzled."Yes, when you first came to my shop, you seemed weighed down by the world, as if life was about to crush you. But now, you seem to be shedding that gloominess and have hope for the future," Clara said.Did she have hope for the future? Serenity couldn't help but freeze. Was it because Lisa was helping her with the case? Or maybe... because she and Jackson had started anew?In the evening, when Serenity came out of the small restaurant, she noticed a car parked not far from the restaurant—it was Jackson's!The car door opened when she approached the vehicle. Jackson was sitting in the back seat, looking at her. "Get in.""But I was planning to ride my electric scooter back. It'll be inconvenie
