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? Do

He hugged her so tightly that she could hardly breathe."I'm not... not..." she said with difficulty.Just when Serenity thought that she might pass out due to lack of oxygen, a sudden force tore her out of Lucas' arms. The next moment, she heard the sound of a fist hitting someone, followed by a muffled grunt. She then heard the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground and chairs colliding with shelves.Serenity panted heavily. Jackson's face appeared before her.Jack was the one who pulled her out of Lucas' arms! Serenity stared at Jackson in a bit of a daze, wondering what he was doing there.Jackson was currently staring at Lucas, whom he had just punched to the ground, with a solemn face.Lucas was leaning against a shelf. The area around him was in a mess due to the impact of his fall.Blood slowly trickled down the corner of his mouth, showing that Jackson definitely did not hold back."Do you know what you're doing right now?" Jackson asked furiously. His ice-cold voi

That sent a jolt through his body. He turned his head to look at her in surprise. His dark eyes contained many emotions that she could not decipher."Jack, let me talk to him," she said as she gripped his hand hard, as if she was comforting him.Jackson pursed his lips and looked at her without moving an inch.He was hesitating. He did not know what to do.Serenity took a step forward, stepping out from behind Jackson. Jackson did not stand in her way.Her eyes fell on Lucas, who was now only a few steps away. "I'm not the person you're looking for. I don't have the slightest recollection of the things you mentioned, so I think you must have gotten the wrong person!"When she finished, the light in Jackson's eyes wavered, while Lucas seemed like he was unwilling to believe her. "That's impossible. You... you must have forgotten. You've forgotten, haven't you? Have you forgotten because it's been too long?""My memory has always been good," said Serenity, "I really don't remember

Jackson remained silent and kept driving. He was feeling a panic he had never felt before.He did not know what he was afraid of. Was he afraid of Lucas finding out that Serenity was indeed the person he had been looking for? Or was he afraid that Serenity would develop some kind of feelings for Lucas in the future?No, Lucas... shouldn't be able to discover anything. Jackson had already taken the necessary precautions, just in case something like this happened.Meanwhile, Serenity seemed to have forgotten about the things that had happened in the past. According to Jackson's investigation, in the days after Lucas was found, Serenity had fallen terribly sick with a high fever. She was even sent to Solaria for treatment.She must have forgotten certain things because of that high fever.But... even though Jackson had taken the necessary precautions, why did he still feel so apprehensive?He felt as if something out of his expectations would happen, thus throwing his plan off.Lik

"What are we doing here?" Serenity asked, feeling puzzled. Jackson pursed his lips tightly, looking at the view of Solaria through the window glass.The young Jackson had come here with his father once. His father had brought him here and told him, "Jack, you know what? You'll understand what it means to be unstoppable only when you're high standing. You often have no control over your own destiny unless you have enough power."If one wanted to be truly in control of his own destiny, he would have to keep climbing higher and higher!Whenever Jackson was frustrated, he would come here and look out over this view of Solaria. He had told himself that one day, only he could control his own destiny. He had not been here for a long time since he had taken over the Valor Group and yet, he was here again. How long had it been?The last time he was here, he thought he was finally in complete control of his own destiny. He would no longer be at the mercy of anyone. However, he had come her

Why? Must she tell him the answer to that? Jackson seemed like he clearly needed an answer from her."Hey, tell me. Why? Why won't you have a crush on Lucas?" Jackson urged.Serenity's face turned slightly pink. Even so, she stated clearly, "Because you're the one who makes my heart beat. I don't want you to get the wrong idea, Jack. There's really nothing between Lucas and me. "Was it really nothing?Jackson's eyes darkened. The photo of Lucas embracing Serenity in his computer's mailbox seemed to flash before his eyes again. There were also photos of Lucas in tears in front of Serenity.Those photos seemed like a silent irony to him. Despite all his efforts, he could not break the bond between Serenity and Lucas."Is it really nothing? You're not hiding anything from me?" Jackson asked in a low voice."I've told you everything between Lucas and I." Serenity thought Jackson was asking about today."So... Serenity, how much do you love me?" Jackson's breath was on her face, hi
