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

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

Her hands, which were hanging by her sides, were clenched tight, showing that she was holding herself back.He had investigated her before, so he naturally knew that she went to prison because of a car accident that caused Mira Hall's death.However, he did not investigate the specific details of that case. From what the law firm employee was saying, back then... she refused to plead guilty and insisted that she was set up.Was she really innocent? Did she really have nothing to do with Mira Hall's death?The law firm employee simply described the incident without taking any sides, but being the boss of a law firm, of course the boss could figure out what truly happened. His eyes became increasingly colder when he looked at Liliana. When the employee finished talking, the boss turned to Serenity."Serenity, I'm sorry for what happened to you. Why don’t you provide the firm with a list of your losses and we'll compensate you for them," said the boss.Serenity answered flatly, "For

Liliana could not even begin to describe how she was feeling right now.Right then, a co-worker who had beef with her sneered and said, "Look at that. She wanted to embarrass her old co-worker but was embarrassed instead. Maybe one day, she'll have to quit being a lawyer too like her old co-worker. Our rookies should take a good, hard look at her because she makes for a fine example!"Liliana's face paled. She was tongue-tied and her eyes were filled with panic.If that truly happened, she would become a joke in the lawyers' circle!If she had known that this would happen, she would never have carried out her little scheme!Serenity stepped out of the building. Before she could even get to her electric scooter, Lucas caught up to her and grabbed her arm. "Why would you rather walk around in a wet shirt than accept my coat? Do you hate me so much that you wouldn't even touch my stuff?"Serenity tried to break free from the man's grip but to no avail. His hand merely gripped her t

To her surprise, Lucas followed her into the store. He said she was wearing his coat and he wanted to take it back after she changed into new clothes.Serenity quickly looked for a cheap T-shirt in the store to change into.Meanwhile, Jackson was listening to Connor's report in the Valor Group's CEO office with a gloomy face."Because we've told the media that they can’t publish any news about Ms. Lewis, these three media outlets didn't dare to release the news," said Connor.Three media outlets had simultaneously received an anonymous email containing intimate photos of Serenity and Lucas Gomez."Did you find out who sent the email?" asked Jackson."We're still investigating that. The culprit had taken precautions to avoid being detected," answered Connor."Find out as soon as possible. I want to know who's behind this," Jackson said coldly."Yes, Mr. Valor!" replied Connor."You can get back to work," said Jackson. After Connor left the CEO's office, Jackson clicked open the

He desperately wanted to hear her voice, as if her voice was the only thing that could put his mind at ease right now!A moment later, the call was picked up, but the voice that answered was a voice that Jackson did not expect."Jackson?"It was... Lucas' voice.Jackson's heart sank. He spoke rigidly, "Yeah, it's me. Why are you the one who answered the phone?""Serenity’s changing her clothes. She left her phone and bag outside. Should I... tell her to call you back later?" Lucas asked indifferently."No, it's fine," Jackson simply ended the call.After the call ended, Lucas looked down at the phone in his hand.Just now, when he saw the caller ID was "Jack", he answered the phone for some unfathomable reason.Normally, he would never help anyone answer their phone.But, a moment ago... that's exactly what he did. Was it because the caller was Jackson?He once thought Jackson would never fall in love with any woman, but he actually fell in love with a woman Lucas was also i

In that apartment filled with dresses, he would fantasize about how beautiful she would look when she wore the dresses.However, he had never felt as shocked as he did now. Serenity was only wearing a very ordinary – and very cheap – dress, but the sight of her slowly walking to the mirror to take a look at herself instantly brought tears to his eyes.Serenity stood in front of the mirror and checked out the dress. The reason she picked the dress was because it looked like the floral dress her grandmother bought her when she was a child.Unfortunately, that floral dress was badly torn, so she had to throw it away.She remembered she cried back then.The good thing about the new dress was that it was pretty long, so she could safely wear it even when she rode the electric scooter. She checked the price and found that it was not expensive. It cost only $40, and one could usually bargain in a store like this to lower the price even further."What do you think of the dress, ma'am?
