Many of her fans even expressed their disappointment in her and claimed they would not be her fans anymore.Some of Jenny's more loyal fans expressed their disbelief. They wondered if there was a mistake somewhere.Another person who was in disbelief was Jenny herself. The police actually issued an investigation report, and she only found out about it the same time everyone else did!Jenny shivered. How could this happen?Could her public persona and the career she had worked so hard for be destroyed just like that?But the worst was yet to come. Jackson Valor's personal secretary, Connor Gunn, informed the Hall family and the Shaw family that Jackson Valor would not attend their engagement party.The public naturally thought it was related to Jenny's recent negative press.Serenity was a bit surprised when she saw the police investigation report. She did not expect it to come out so quickly. She was also surprised that the Halls and the Shaws did not suppress the news. In fact,

"Dad, you miss Mira too, don't you?" asked Jenny. "When I saw Serenity Lewis that day, she did not look remorseful about Mira's death at all.""Enough. Stop speaking of that woman," said Quinton.The sound of footsteps made them turn around. They saw Jackson Valor walking down the stairs."You want to see me?" Jackson asked indifferently as he eyed the two people in front of him.When Jackson's icy gaze swept past her, Jenny felt her body stiffen. This was the man her sister was madly in love with back in the days!Jenny still remembered her sister Mira once telling her with a dreamy face, "Jenny, I once thought that I'd never be able to make a man like Jackson Valor mine. He's too cold, too rational. Even if you hold him, you can't feel his warmth. He's like a delicate and beautiful porcelain; you can see his surface, but never his inside."Jenny felt the same way about Jackson Valor. Every time she saw him, she felt that she could never tell what’s on his mind.Therefore, even

He paused as his eyes swept across the two dumbfounded people. "If they leave before that, they're not allowed to step foot in this residence ever again."The father and daughter flinched.Jackson's words undoubtedly meant that, if they left without finding the ring, the Valor family would sever all ties with them.After Jackson left, Quinton and Jenny looked at each other.The pond was not that deep, but its bottom was filled with mud. It was not that big either, but it was still about 100 square feet in size. Finding a small ring in that pond was not an easy task.Jenny felt like crying. "Daddy, what should we do? Do I really have to go down there to find the ring? It's so cold out there! How can I find the ring by myself?!""You made this mess, so you must clean it up. You know what will happen to the Hall family if the Valor family sever ties with us!" Quinton said with a serious expression.The future of the Hall family was at stake. He could not indulge his daughter anymor

She gently combed his fringe and trimmed the fringe little by little with a pair of scissors. She looked very focused. All her concentration was on the fringe. She did not even notice the pair of beautiful eyes under the fringe watching her.Jackson stared at her. Her face was slightly red due to the cold weather. He looked at her pretty eyes, her small nose, her pink lips, and her beautiful face. The more he looked at her, the harder he found it to look away. Under the light, her body seemed to emanate a warm aura."Okay, it's done." After a while, he suddenly heard her say."It's done?" he asked. All the time he spent with her seemed to pass by very quickly."Mm-hmm." She smiled and took two steps back to scrutinize him. "It's not bad. My skills are pretty good. We saved a few dollars."She chuckled, then took a dry towel and helped him dust off some of the fine strands of hair that had fallen onto his face, neck and clothes."All right, go take a shower," said Serenity.Jacks

She also could not understand why Mira Hall's car would come crashing towards hers.She also could not understand why all the witnesses said she was in the wrong.She was fighting against the world. All the evidence and witnesses back then pointed to her being the perpetrator.After all, Mira Hall was going to marry Jackson Valor soon. She had no reason to crash her car into Serenity's to kill herself."Are you trying to overturn the case?" Jackson asked.Serenity smiled self-deprecatingly. "I'm just a little unsatisfied, that's all. It's not that easy to overturn a case. Besides, I've already been released from prison. All right, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll help you blow your hair dry.”She put the documents away, grabbed the hair dryer, and helped him blow his wet hair dry.A darkness gradually crept into Jackson's eyes...The next day, Connor found that his boss' hair... seemed to have been trimmed, but he did not remember scheduling an appointment with a hair st

"Jenny Hall thinks I killed her sister," Serenity said after a short silence. However, she had never known that a person could be so evil before she saw Jenny Hall order her nails to be plucked out of her fingers!"She's probably happier that she gets to take your place,” Lisa was still angry. "Less than a month after you were sentenced, Zeke Shaw and her already started dating. There's no way they would get together that quickly if she didn't already have her eyes on him in the first place.”"This also shows that the love between Zeke Shaw and I wasn't actually that strong. I'm glad I get to see the person he really is," Serenity said with a smile."True that. A man like Zeke Shaw doesn't deserve your love," said Lisa. She suddenly thought of something. "By the way, how are you getting along with that new brother of yours? Do you really plan to live with him forever?""Mm-hmm,” she nodded. "If Jack is willing to stay with me, then yeah, I'd like that.""People who didn't know be

Jenny Hall apologized with a sincere expression. When she bowed, she almost fell because she was so weak, and that won her a lot of sympathy.After a short pause, she continued, "I will go to the Sanitation Office to express my sincere gratitude to the sanitation workers for their help. I will also donate all my income this year to set up a breakfast stand for the sanitation workers. They can receive a free breakfast every day with their work permit.”When the video of the press conference was posted online, many people felt that Jenny handled the crisis very well. Her fans were also actively posting comments to help her improve her image.Because of this, many people actually thought that the whole thing was just a misunderstanding.Jenny Hall's visit to the Sanitation Office was highly publicized. A lot of reporters followed her there.The director of the Sanitation Office arranged for the sanitation workers who helped Jenny find the ring to shake hands with Jenny one by one and

Even though her face remained the same, it felt more weathered. She was also wearing a fluorescent work uniform instead of branded clothes.Zeke stared at her in a daze. The scene of her desperately crawling to him and begging him to believe her once again surfaced in his mind.At that time, she had looked at him with eyes that were eager, hopeful, and pleading... but now, her eyes were like a calm lake that had no ripples.Jenny saw her boyfriend's reaction from the corner of the eye. She handed the gift box to Serenity with a warm smile and said, "This is for you. I'm sorry for what happened that day. Thank you for helping me look for the ring." She was so different from the demon in the prison!Serenity took the box from her in silence. Without saying anything, she turned around and walked away.Back in the office, Serenity gave Xyla her gift box. "Xyla, you can have this.""Huh? You don't want such a good jacket?" Xyla was surprised."I have enough clothes," replied Serenity
