"You think I should let her know the truth?" Jackson asked with cold eyes.The look in Jackson's eyes made Connor shiver. He realized that he had accidentally mentioned a taboo subject.Serenity Lewis' case was something that Mr. Valor did not want anyone to inquire about.All Connor had to do was obediently follow Mr. Valor's orders."I'll leave for San Marco right away," said Connor. He then left the study.The moment he came out of the study, he ran into Serenity."Are you looking for Mr. Valor, Miss Lewis?" Connor asked respectfully. He knew that, barring any accident, the woman before him would be the future Mrs. Valor.Although Mr. Valor only treated her as a game in the beginning, their relationship had turned serious now.Furthermore, Connor had never seen Mr. Valor take a woman so seriously before. He did not even take Mira Hall, who was only one step away from becoming Mrs. Valor, this seriously.But Serenity Lewis actually managed to do it. Who in Solaria could have

"Nothing. I just want to hold you like this for a while," he said softly as he buried his face deep in the nape of her neck and took in her scent.It looked as if simply holding her like this gave him a lot of satisfaction.Serenity felt like there's a hint of childishness to Jackson's behavior for some reason, as if he's a child who's clinging to a precious toy and refusing to let go.And she was that toy.Serenity raised her hand and gently hugged Jackson back.The moment her hand touched him, she felt his body tremble slightly. A few moments later, he murmured in her ear, "Sis, I like it when you hug me like this. Will you hug me for a while longer?"His soft voice was coquettish, making it impossible for her to refuse."Okay," she answered. She kept hugging him, letting time tick away quietly...The next morning, Lisa arrived at the Valor Residence right on time. However, she did not come alone. Terry White was with her. In fact, Terry was the one who drove the car.Howev

When Terry told Lisa what he did, Lisa praised him profusely. Of course, she had to let Terry touch her afterwards.However, she did not mind being touched by Terry. In fact, she, uhh... kinda liked it.Lisa did some self-reflecting afterwards as to why that was the case. In the end, she came to the conclusion that it was because he was handsome.After all, his face was very much to her liking. She had always been easily attracted to handsome faces. It was hard not to fall for his looks.It's not her fault that humans were inherently visual-sensory animals.Outside the car, the two men were still staring at each other. The atmosphere outside the car was not as cordial as the atmosphere inside the car."I didn't expect you to go with us today, Mr. Valor," Terry broke the silence."Serenity is my girlfriend. Of course I have to go," Jackson replied flatly."Is that so?" Terry said, "If I remember correctly, the victim who died in Serenity Lewis' case was your fiancée, Mira Hall,

The two ladies got in first and took the back seat, and the two men got into the car later with Terry in the driver's seat and Jackson in the passenger seat.As the car glided onto the road, Lisa suddenly had a funny thought. Her tiny car suddenly seemed more majestic with the presence of the Valor Group and White Maple Group CEOs. People would be surprised to know about this.The two men were silent on the way back. Meanwhile, the two ladies in the back were chattering. Lisa did most of the talking while Serenity listened."By the way, there's a popular TV show lately. Have you watched King's Lover yet?" Lisa asked.Serenity shook her head. Work had occupied most of her time lately. She worked during the day and came home at night. By the time she was home, she usually browsed the web before going to bed."It's pretty good. The plot... Ah, I can't spoil it. I'll give you the website later. Oh, the lead actor is the same Finn Gorden you loved back then," Lisa mentioned. She had re
Chapter 452
Jealous of an actor and a TV character, Terry was annoyed yet helpless. He could not deal with Lisa's obsession with actors. It seemed he would have to live with it.Terry could not handle Lisa well. Lisa could put up with his drastic tactics and would push the limits at any chance as soon as he was nicer to her. Lisa was a real pain in the behind.Lisa had also said that Serenity used to be a big fan of Finn's. Terry felt a little better hearing that. It seemed that he was not the only one annoyed by this!Jackson and Terry took turns driving along the way, and they each took half the distance. It was already past 9 pm when they arrived at the San Marco facility.Terry had made the arrangements prior to their trip. Upon arrival, the staff led them to a room next to the meeting room.There were several large screens in this room, showing live footage of the meeting room. They could see and listen to conversations happening in the meeting room next door.Moments later, the mediato

"What do you mean by that? Illegal money?! My work and money are legitimate!" York denied it, a tinge of guilt in his eyes.The mediator changed the topic and asked casually, "By the way, I went to your parent's house yesterday and talked to them. Your parents have a heavy Solarian accent. Are they Solarian?" "Yeah. My parents used to live there.""Are you from Solaria too? Why did you settle in San Marco? Solaria is much better than San Maroc," the mediator chatted as if making small talk."There's too much pressure in a big city. It's smaller here, but life is comfortable.""Right." The mediator smiled and added abruptly, "I almost forgot to mention. The guy you hurt wanted me to ask you about Ms. Hall. He wants you to do as he says and pay up, otherwise, he'll tell the public and expose you.""Ms. Hall..." York's face paled slightly, but he tried to hide his panic. "I don't quite understand what you mean by exposing me, but I was a witness in a case some years ago. The deceas

Jackson was like the king of Solaria—he would always have what he wished for. He could overturn the case if he wanted to. Besides, Serenity was innocent. They would eventually find the real mastermind behind this.Lisa cheered up, no longer gloomy. "It's almost noon. Let's go for lunch," she suggested.Serenity nodded in agreement. The four of them then left the facility and got into the car.Lisa dug through the list of good food in San Marco hurriedly and found a couple of places for Serenity to choose from. The two men had no objection, naturally. Terry then drove the group to lunch.They decided on a local specialty restaurant in San Marco, an old favorite. The four of them requested a private room and began ordering food.Lisa did most of the ordering and decided according to the food ranking list. She ordered everything that had lots of good reviews and ended up with almost 20 dishes. Lisa looked around and realized that she had ordered too much food, but there were only f

"Alright, let's eat," Jackson urged.The four of them had lunch together, and while eating the shrimp, Serenity felt a little shy when Jackson offered to peel them for her. Her best friend, Lisa, and Terry were both staring. Lisa even winked at her, making Serenity flush with embarrassment. Jackson, on the other hand, seemed relaxed. He did not care about the stares.When they finished the meal, Jackson reminded Serenity, "Don't forget to take your medicine 20 minutes after the meal.""Okay." Serenity responded."Are you sick?" Lisa was shocked and asked with concern."No, not really. It's some kind of medicine for joint pain," Serenity explained.Lisa was surprised. Lisa knew that her friend had health issues after spending three years in prison. Serenity suffered from rheumatism and pain, particularly in cold and cloudy weather. Lisa had previously tried to get Serenity to go to the hospital and get it checked, but Serenity would always give her the same excuse. She underst
