"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

Serenity grinned as if she found that amusing. She simply walked away.Zeke felt like his kindness was wasted on her. A surge of anger rose inside him, "What's the meaning of that, Serenity? I'm taking a great risk trying to help you here!”"No one asked you to take that risk," Serenity said indifferently, "Besides, aren't you afraid that your dear Miss Hall will find out about this?"Just then, a voice suddenly came from around the corner, "Find out about what?"Zeke's body stiffened. His hand that was tugging at Serenity's arm let go almost instantly. He turned around and saw Jenny walking over. He said, "Nothing."Jenny held Zeke's arm with a smile. "Zeke, why are you talking to this sort of person? What if Jackson Valor finds out? You know my sister is the only woman Jackson Valor is willing to marry. Even though she's passed away for three years, he has dated no one else..."She did not finish her sentence, but her meaning was obvious.Zeke's expression turned unsightly. He

"The higher-ups have given the order. Anything involving Serenity Lewis can't be published," said the editor-in-chief.Sam was astonished. "Is it because of pressure from the Shaw family?” No, that didn't make sense. When Jenny had that incident at the Sanitation Office, he wrote a report about Jenny and there was no problem at all. How come they could not write about Serenity Lewis?"No, not the Shaw family. All right, enough questions. The bottom line is, if this story gets out, not only will you have to quit being a reporter, I might have to quit too,” said the editor-in-chief.Sam stared at him in disbelief. What the editor-in-chief said... was too shocking."Serenity Lewis... She's just a sanitation worker. Who would be so protective of her?""You're too green. In this world, there are always things that are beyond your imagination," the editor-in-chief said with a sigh. In truth, he himself did not expect that it was Jackson Valor who wanted to protect Serenity Lewis. It was

However, the pair of eyes under the fringe were unusually direct, as if to him, it was just an innocent question.'Hmm... Jack looks naive. He probably didn't mean anything by that,' thought Serenity.She cleared her throat and said, "I can like you, but it's not love. They're two different kinds of feelings. In my opinion, love is eternal, irreplaceable, and you would even be willing to... live and die together."His dark eyes abruptly narrowed. Live and die together? Strangely enough, when he heard her say that, the first thought that came to his mind was... Living and dying together with her did not sound so bad.Did that mean he was in love with her?How could that be? He almost laughed out loud at the thought.He admitted that he had a fondness for her and felt attached to her. He cared about her and seemed to have unknowingly gotten addicted to the feeling of staying by her side. Otherwise, he would not have played this game for so long.But falling in love with her... he

But at that moment, Quinn Fender walked over. She looked at Serenity with disdain and said, "Xyla, why are you talking to her? She's an ex-convict! She killed someone!""Quinn, why do you have to say that? We're all co-workers. Besides, she only went to jail because she got careless when she drove..."Before Xyla could finish speaking, Quinn already interrupted her, "But the person she killed was Mira Hall! Xyla, do you know who Mira Hall is? She's Jenny Hall's sister! No wonder Jenny Hall asked us to look for a ring that doesn't exist. She was targeting Serenity all along and we just got dragged into it.""But didn't we all get an apology gift as compensation?" said Xyla.Quinn was obviously unhappy to see Xyla speak up for Serenity. She was the one who broke the news that Serenity had been in prison before.She overheard the conversation between Serenity, Zeke Shaw and Jenny Hall by accident, so she spent some time looking up various news articles about Zeke Shaw and Jenny Hall
Chapter 51
That night, Serenity was back at her place having dinner with Jackson when someone knocked on her door.She was mildly taken aback since no one had ever come to her place and knocked on her door before. Could it be her father, stepmother, and sister coming to cause trouble again?!But when she opened the door, she was surprised to find that the person standing outside was Peter Wall. He was wearing a black padded jacket, and his face was slightly flushed red. He looked at Serenity while seeming a little embarrassed as he told her, "I..."Just as he opened his mouth to speak, he noticed Jackson walking up behind Serenity, and this made him stop speaking abruptly as if he was hesitant to speak.Jackson stared straight at the man standing outside the door. He remembered the man to be one of Serenity's colleagues at the Sanitation Office and that he seemed to be interested in Serenity."What are you doing here?" he asked Peter. "Do you need my sister for something?""I..." Peter repl
