Chapter 507
"Well, isn't all this because of that ex-girlfriend of yours?" Jenny said.Zeke was stunned. "Serenity?" He thought about how the Shaw family almost went down because of Serenity.It was not just that. Zeke's younger sister, Joy, was limping because of Serenity. The doctor advised the need for several operations to heal Joy's leg. The surgeries were risky. She could be left with a lifelong disability if not done right.Zeke was a little worried about his sister. Joy's character had changed a lot. She used to be fearless. Although a little arrogant, she was lively and cheerful. Now, Joy stayed in her room all day long. She seldom socialized and never met with her former friends. "Yup. She's the one. Jackson is protecting her now. No one can touch her." Jenny sounded a little sour.Jenny had always thought of Serenity as someone beneath her. She thought she would never see Serenity again. After all, they lived in different circles. However, things were out of her expectations. Je

Who would have thought?The determination he was holding on to crumbled within seconds. Zeke had panicked when the accident had happened. Then, his parents had ordered him to dissociate himself from Serenity, and he had done so immediately without even struggling.Zeke had reached a sudden realization at that moment. He had thought he loved her, but his future meant more to him. He was unwilling to sacrifice his future for Serenity.The premise of his love was his status as the son and heir of the Shaw family. Without this identity, his so-called love for Serenity meant nothing to him.Zeke had occasionally felt guilty over the years, but he would tell himself that it was all Serenity's fault whenever he did. Serenity had driven drunk and hit Mira Hall, killing her. Their relationship would not have ended if not for the accident. She was to blame for everything. He felt better when he thought like this.Zeke had thought that he would never cross paths with Serenity again. He tho

It was like this back then, and it remained the same even now.So what if Jackson treated Serenity as his most precious person? Jenny was sure that Serenity would eventually leave Jackson. After all, there were things that would destroy everything Serenity knew.***Serenity was no stranger to participating in functions. Back then, she had accompanied Zeke to various events. However... The current Serenity was a little different than who she had been back then.Serenity had spent three years in prison, and her skin lacked maintenance. It seemed duller than before. Her hands were also calloused, and her hair rougher than it had been back then.As if to erase her worries, a special team of stylists came to the Valor Residence in the afternoon, giving Serenity a special makeover. The light purple evening dress looked classy and elegant, and the crystals on the dress made it look dazzling. The dress must be worth a fortune.The stylist told Serenity, "Mr. Valor specially prepared t

"I like it," Serenity answered in a low murmur. Women would always like pretty things. How could she not like a gorgeous dress like this? But... "This dress wasn't cheap, was it? I feel like it would be a waste if I only wore it once." She meant to say that she would have chosen a cheaper dress.Jackson, however, replied after hearing her comment, "If that's the case, accompany me to a few more functions. Don't worry. It won't be a waste."Serenity choked, feeling lost for words.Jackson held Serenity's hand. "Alright. Let's go."The warmth of his hand began to spread across her palm, and Serenity responded softly as she rose to her feet. She then followed him out of the room, and they went downstairs.The car was waiting outside. Jackson took Serenity's hand and led her inside.On the way, Serenity could not help studying Jackson's look for the night. Jackson looked fresh and radiant, dressed in an immaculate black suit, white shirt, and dark purple tie. The look suited him perf

"Don't bite your lips. You'll ruin the makeup," Jackson murmured softly, his lips getting closer to hers. "What are you thinking? About me? Let me guess. Your face is so red. Are you thinking about the intimate moments we shared?"Serenity's eyes widened in surprise. Just by that look of hers, Jackson knew he had hit the nail on the head."I see. What sort of intimate moments..." His voice grew gentler, making her heart flutter. "Was it that night? Serenity? Are you thinking about that night?"Ba-dump!Serenity's face was burning, a flustered look all over her face. She wanted to bury her head in embarrassment, but his fingers remained on her chin, and she could not turn her head away.Jackson found Serenity's red face indescribably adorable, even more so when her dewy eyes constantly avoided his gaze. Serenity probably did not know, but her reaction only aroused his possessive desire more."Feeling shy? What's there to be shy about?" His fingers gently trailed along her hot chee

The car soon arrived at its destination. Jackson walked into the function hall holding Serenity's hand.Naturally, their appearance immediately garnered much attention. Jackson alone was the center of attention, but everyone's eyes were also on Serenity. People in Solaria had not seen her for more than three years.Back then, Jackson had attended some public events with Mira Hall before, but they had never held hands. This time, Jackson held Serenity’s hand from the moment they entered the venue. It was different this time, and most people could sense it.Many upper-class ladies were attending the function tonight, some of whom were more or less interested in Jackson.Jackson was notoriously known to be celibate in Solaria. He had never been with anyone since Mira's death. Naturally, some of these ladies were eager to try their luck.Even so, no one dared to take the first step. A long time ago, a woman had intentionally played some tricks to get close to Jackson, but it had not g

Lucas was not so much an affectionate person. Rather, he was pretty ruthless.'Does a guy like him ever care?' As the thought flashed through Serenity's mind, she somehow thought of Lucas' silver bracelet. It was because of that silver bracelet that she had met Lucas.The bracelet was clearly meant for a child, but Lucas treasured it like it was the most precious belonging. Serenity wondered what was the story behind that bracelet."Who are you looking at?" A low and elegant voice rang in Serenity's ears.Serenity immediately came to her senses, and the moment she turned her head, her lips almost met Jackson's. It was then that she realized they were so close to each other that she had almost kissed him.Jackson's thin lips parted slightly as he murmured softly, "It doesn't matter who you’re looking at. You can only think of me."As he spoke, he looked past her to the man standing at the entrance. Lucas Gomez, his friend since childhood.Jackson had never thought that they would

This feeling was something Aria had not felt in a very long time. When she found out Serenity was dating Jackson, she did not feel Serenity was above her. After all, she was officially Lucas' girlfriend. However, she felt Serenity had outclassed her this time. Lucas returned to his senses and greeted Serenity. "What a coincidence. We meet again.""Hello," Serenity greeted him with a simple response.Lucas turned his gaze to Jackson. "I didn't expect to see you here today.""I brought Serenity here to meet people. After all, she'll eventually get to know them," Jackson replied flatly, his words overloaded with information.Aria was shocked to hear that. What did he mean? Did he just mention that Serenity would eventually get to know some of them? Could it be... What was Jackson hinting at? Was he planning to marry Serenity someday?!Jealousy rose as Aria thought about this. Despite that, she put on a smile and greeted, "Serenity! It's been a long time. Speaking of which, I've alw
