Chapter 516
Serenity was surprised. Jackson seldom introduced another person as a friend. Perhaps he shared a close relationship with Caleb Moss. "Nice to meet you. I'm Serenity," Serenity humbly introduced herself."Hello! I've always wanted to meet you, but I didn't have the chance," Caleb said, smiling. He had always been curious about the woman who had captured his best friend's heart.Caleb remembered the night of New Year's Eve. To save Serenity, his best friend had left Master Zack behind and gone to the town next door with a group of police officers. How could Caleb not be shocked and curious?Caleb was finally meeting Serenity in person. He did not find her stunningly beautiful, but she seemed very approachable and comfortable to be with. Jackson seemed a little more relaxed than usual being with Serenity.Caleb immediately realized why his best friend was attracted to Serenity. Men in their circle were so used to their environment, usually surrounded by fake people. They held pow

Caleb swallowed the saliva that was starting to rise up from his throat.'Okay,' he thought, 'it looks like this woman called Serenity Lewis that I just met might very likely marry into the Valor family one day and become Mrs. Valor.""She seems to be a very lucky woman," Caleb muttered."No," Jackson denied in a soft voice, "I'm the lucky one."Or to put it more precisely, it was her misfortunes that had turned him into a lucky man. Had that car crash not happened back then, perhaps Serenity would already be married to Zeke Shaw and have had kids with Zeke by now, and she would never be caught in the terrible situation she was in when she had first met Jackson. And he would then never discover the bliss he would feel whenever he was with her.Caleb was stunned when he heard this. At that moment, he had a hunch that Serenity already had Jackson wrapped around her finger!***Serenity took a glass of champagne from the waiter and sipped it. Because it was low in alcohol and had

"By the way," said Zandra, "We've been wondering about the nature of the relationship between you and Jackson Valor. Why don't you tell us about it? You don't mind satisfying our curiosity, do you?"Serenity smiled gently and replied, "This is a private matter. I don't think it's appropriate to talk about it here."The looks on the three women's faces changed abruptly when they heard this. Julia Wayne, the daughter of the Chairman of a convenience store chain, blurted out, "What's so inappropriate about it? Is it because you're hiding something humiliating? Is that why you're so reluctant to speak about it?"Serenity's expression darkened. Sure enough... It had finally happened. She had been trying her best to avoid such a situation, yet there was no way to escape it now.The hotel owner's granddaughter, Yuna Keller, kept staring at Serenity's face with a slight frown, almost as if she was deep in her thoughts. Julia then continued aggressively, "You didn't use some sly schemes t

Julia and Zandra were both shocked as well.Julia suddenly burst out laughing and said, "I was wondering what kind of a woman you were! So, it turns out that you're a murderer! Does Jackson Valor know that you're the one who killed Mira Hall?"At the moment, Julia just could not wait to see what Serenity would look like when Jackson finally realized that she was the culprit involved in that car crash all those years ago. She firmly believed that there was no way Jackson already knew about this. Otherwise, there was simply no way that he would let Serenity so openly attend this function as his glamorous companion!Zandra pursed her lips and smiled before saying, "By the way, I think Zeke is here right now as well. I just saw him with Jenny Hall. Why don't we let the former couple meet each other?"Hearing this, Julia was now even more spirited. She craned her neck and looked around. Coincidentally, Zeke and Jenny were not far from them at all, so she cried out to them, "Zeke! Your e

"That's right," echoed Yuna. "It's all because of this woman's shamelessness! Who knows what kind of sly tactics she used to bait Jackson to be with her?! I'm sure he had no idea about her being in prison!"There was a flash of surprise in both Jenny and Zeke's expressions when they heard this. Zeke was about to say something, but Jenny furtively tugged at him, signaling him not to say anything about it.Serenity could sense that more and more eyes were focused on them now. In fact, after hearing what Julia had said just now, many people had turned to stare at her with looks of shock, some even with disdain and mockery. They all seemed to regard her as a clown who was about to make a fool of herself in public.She sighed. It looked like she was about to embarrass Jack at this function today. After all, there was no way that she could ever change what had happened to her in the past. Not wanting to remain there as a clown for everyone to laugh at, she turned around and made up her

"They just said some things to me, and my dress got stepped on, that's all."Serenity had no desire to pour her heart out about all her grievances right here and now. "I'm sorry," she continued. "I'm afraid bringing me here with you today has turned out to be...""You've got nothing to apologize for," he interrupted her. "It's all my fault. I should've taken better care of you and not let you get dragged into this kind of situation."As he spoke, he knelt and tied up the torn ends of her dress into a knot so that it would not drag along the floor, just in case she tripped on it and fell.Everyone around them gasped the moment Jackson went down on his knees. None of them would have thought that the most powerful man in Solaria would kneel before a woman like that. Once he was done tying up the loose ends of her dress, he raised his chin to look up at Serenity and asked, "Are you hurt anywhere on your body?"At that point, he was on his knees, looking up at her as she stood and
Chapter 522
Serenity Lewis was the driver who had caused Mira Hall's death back then, yet she was now with Jackson Valor! These were the two people most unlikely to end up together, yet that was exactly what had happened right now. Who would have thought?!Thud!Caleb heard the sound of something heavy crashing to the floor. He turned around and saw Julia sitting on the floor after falling when her legs had failed her. He looked at her with sympathy in his eyes. It seemed that the Wayne family would be in big trouble now, and Julia would most likely be banned from this social circle from now on.After all, Jackson had never been a generous and forgiving man.Even Zandra Lane and Yuna Keller were now overcome with a tide of fear, especially Zandra. No matter how hard it was for her to accept what had just happened, she still could not suppress the fear that was showing in her eyes.Judging by the way Jackson had reacted just now, it was clear that he already knew everything about Serenity's pa

"Zeke," said Jenny, "it's getting too stuffy in here. Come with me to the back garden. I need some fresh air.""Okay." Zeke turned to his fiancee beside him with a conflicted look in his eyes. "Why didn't you want me to speak back then?" he asked her in a voice so soft that only the two of them could hear it. "Did you expect this to happen?""Yeah," Jenny replied with a faint smile. "Since someone is so eager to jump in front of the bullet, there's no point for us to stop her. Besides, now, another family apart from ours has offended Jackson Valor. In fact, she seems to have offended him much worse than we did."Zeke stared at the smile on his fiancee's lips, and feelings of loss and gloominess arose in his heart. He felt as if he had truly lost something that he would never be able to get back. And now, all he could do was to be tied up forever with this woman in front of him—all for the benefit of their two families!Not far away from them, there was another man who had been wa
