Chapter 585
Through the one-way mirror, Lucas could observe the activities happening in the main hall outside. There were various singers and dancers performing on the stage. Compared to that, the inside of Lucas’ private room was relatively quiet. He poured himself a cup of tea and began sipping it slowly as he observed the chaos that was happening outside. Then, the door swung open, and the sound of footsteps echoed through the room. Lucas lifted his head to gaze at the newcomer. “You’re finally here. Would you like some tea?” “No need,” replied Jackson before he sat down directly facing Lucas. “I’m just here to talk to you, it won’t take long.” Lucas raised his brow. “Is that so? What would you like to discuss?” “You can break up with Aria all you want, but don’t drag Serenity into this. My patience has its limits. I’m not going to stand by and watch her suffer because of you,” warned Jackson. Lucas’ expression changed immediately. “Aria’s parents came looking for Serenity today

Jackson pursed his lips at the thought of that possibility. He would never let Lucas have his way! In the private room, Lucas pulled out the silver bracelet he wore on his neck. He brushed his fingertips over it. Its surface was smooth and shiny from being polished by his fingers over the years. To him, this bracelet was his entire world. As it turned out, people who keep longing for another despite the passage of time do indeed exist. In fact, the more time passed, the more intense their feelings grew...***“Cut!” yelled the director. Sullen-faced, he snapped at Aria, “What’s the matter with you? Is it that hard to play a character whose mother had just died? It’s not like you just started acting yesterday...” As he scolded her, Aria nodded silently and swallowed the discontent that was boiling up inside. He had never talked to her like this. Her scenes used to be filmed in one take unless she requested a retake. Compared to the past when the director never criticized h

Did Lucas change his mind?Looking around at the people who were taunting and mocking her a moment ago, Aria felt truly vindicated!Hmph, as long as she could become Lucas Gomez's girlfriend again, she could get all of them blacklisted by the entertainment industry!Aria walked out of the filming site in a haughty manner.However, when she met with Lucas, she realized that... things were not the way she thought they were.Because... Lucas asked to meet her in a detention facility, and her parents were in that detention facility.Lucas was sitting on a chair, casually sipping tea.Her parents, on the other hand, were trembling and cowering on one side of the table. They looked afraid.Aria bit her lip, her heart thumping with apprehension.What's going on? What's Lucas doing here?She was aware that her parents were in police custody, but since it was only for a few days, she didn't think it was a big deal. It would be fine as long as the media did not find out about it.But

Lucas stared at Aria coldly. Fair? The world had never been fair. If it was, he would have found the girl from back then by now! He poured in so much effort throughout the years!But... he hadn’t found her!It was as if that girl had never existed at all.But... she clearly existed!"You want fairness? Fine. Your mother slapped Serenity, so it's only fair if she slaps you too," Lucas said indifferently.Aria, Catherine and Grayson froze when they heard that.Catherine, in particular, jumped up from her chair and yelled, "Why would I hit my own daughter?! Even if you're rich and powerful, you can't make me do this!""You can't hit your own daughter?" Lucas snorted as if he had heard a joke, "Yet you were so ready to hit your stepdaughter who's not related to you by blood."Catherine's face went red, but she still argued emotionally, "Th-There's a good reason for that... Serenity Lewis is a shameless woman who barged into your relationship with Aria..."Lucas' expression got pro

Some reporters also discovered that Aria Lewis was currently selling her real estate and jewelry. Even the house that Aria's parents were living in was listed for sale online. They speculated that it was to pay for her breach of contracts.Someone even revealed all the contracts that Aria had breached to the public. The total amount of compensation she had to pay was over 10 million dollars.For a person like Aria who came from an ordinary family and was only a C-list actress before she became Lucas Gomez's girlfriend, this was naturally a large sum of money. Even if she sold all her family assets, it might not be enough.Serenity saw the news on her phone. She also saw a picture of her family house, which was being listed for sale by a real estate agent.There was a collage of photos showing the interior of the house.The price listed was 900 thousand dollars.The house that contained memories of her and her mother was now being sold for 900 thousand dollars. Serenity sighed.M

Jackson said, "Well, since you asked, I guess there's no harm telling you." Even if he did not tell her now, she would find out soon.After all, the matter was no longer a secret among Solaria's high society.Therefore, instead of letting her hear it from others, he would rather tell her about it himself."Lucas is indeed looking for someone – a girl from his early childhood. However, he hasn't been able to find her so far. Those girlfriends of his can be considered that girl's substitute. He can't find the right person, so he found some substitutes to comfort himself," Jackson spoke while observing Serenity's reaction closely.Serenity frowned a little. "They're substitutes for a little girl?""All his ex-girlfriends reminded him of that little girl in some ways.""But they’re not the person he's looking for. Why does he go through one substitute after another when he knows that?" she wondered."Maybe he's obsessed. Or maybe, he's reached a point of desperation. Maybe even he d
Chapter 591
Ever since Liliana found out that Serenity was delivering food at Clara's restaurant, she had ordered there a few times on purpose. Of course Serenity knew what her intention was."What's wrong? Is there a problem with the order?" Clara asked from the cash register."Nope, nothing's wrong," Serenity answered with a faint smile. She grabbed the takeouts, went to her electric scooter, and rode it to the law firm.When Serenity carried Liliana's order into the office, Liliana greeted her with a smile and said, "Sorry to trouble you again, Serenity.""There's nothing to be sorry about. It's my job," Serenity replied indifferently as she handed her the food.However, Liliana didn't take it. Instead, she grabbed Serenity's hand and led her into the office. She told all her co-workers in the office, "Everyone, this is the person involved in the case I just told you about, our former co-worker, Serenity Lewis."Everyone's eyes instantly turned towards Serenity.Serenity had an ominous p

"Help me? Hearing those words come out of your mouth makes me sick!" said Serenity.The people around were all lawyers; they were no fools. They could more or less figure out what's happening by now. They now saw Liliana in a different light. The image Liliana tried to build up had crumbled.Liliana originally wanted to embarrass Serenity in order to vent her frustration of getting humiliated in the hospital during the medical checkup.To her dismay, the person getting embarrassed now was her.Without thinking of what she was doing, she picked up a cup of tea in front of her and splashed Serenity with it.Serenity saw it coming and stepped back to dodge. She managed to avoid getting splashed on her face, but the tea still splashed onto her upper body.Because the weather was getting warm, Serenity was only wearing a white t-shirt on her upper body. The tea immediately made her shirt wet.Liliana’s co-workers cried out in surprise. They did not expect Liliana to suddenly do somet
