"Too revealing?" Lisa checked the dress she was wearing. It was just a normal strapless gown. The skirt was short in the front and long in the back. The short part was above her knees and the long part reached her ankles.Because the dress was well made, it accentuated her figure. The waistline was tightened just right.The flattering effect of the dress was something that all women dreamed of!Lisa asked Terry, "Don't you think the dress makes my boobs look bigger? I feel like the dress is really flattering."Terry was speechless. Was she really a woman? She was actually discussing her boob size with him. Was she even treating him as a man at all?Even though they were currently a couple in name, he knew that she did not really see him as her boyfriend at all!To her, he was just someone who came to her for revenge, right?"If you really make this the bridesmaid's dress, I’ll make sure that you won't make it to the wedding!" Terry said with a scoff."You--" Lisa glared at Terr

Granny did not finish her last sentence. Her eyes and mouth were still open, but she was no longer breathing.Serenity stared at Granny blankly. Tears rolled down her cheeks.The doctors and nurses certified Granny's time of death and told Serenity, "Our condolences, Ms. Lewis."Condolences...

Serenity's Uncle Francis, Uncle Desmond and Aunt Theresa were notified by the hospital, but they only arrived at the hospital two hours after her grandmother's death.Meanwhile, Serenity's grandfather, Henry Walker, did not even come to the hospital. His excuse was that he wasn't in good health and he was worried that he would get too emotional when he saw Granny's corpse, making his health worse.Serenity wondered how Granny would feel if she knew that.The first reaction of Francis, Desmond and Theresa upon seeing Serenity was to tell her that she must pay her share of the cost of Granny’s grave and funeral!Serenity was so mad. Granny had just passed away, but all they were concerned about was money!"Money, huh?" Jackson, who had been standing at the side without saying anything, finally spoke.Only then did Serenity's uncles and aunt notice there was someone else in the ward. Because they came inside in a hurry and their niece was wearing a very conspicuous wedding gown, the

Francis said fiercely, "Young man, you were the reason we were in police custody for so long, weren't you? If you don't apologize and compensate us immediately, we'll make you regret it.""I haven't met anyone who dares to demand an apology from me before," Jackson said lazily.Serenity was puzzled. What's happening? His uncles were scared of Jackson at first, but after her aunt said those things, their attitudes changed completely.Was it because Theresa's daughter, her cousin Lynette, had found some kind of backer?But Serenity remembered that her cousin Lynette and her husband were just ironmongers who had a little store in town. They had average income, about the same as most of the town residents. What kind of backer could she have found?"Fine. You won't apologize? Even if you get on your knees and beg us for forgiveness in the future, we won't let you off easy now!" Francis remarked fiercely.Theresa watched them leisurely as if she was watching a show. "Serenity, listen t

"Jack, forget it." Serenity said, "Granny has just passed away. I don't want to disturb her peace." After all, Aunt Theresa was Granny Emily's daughter! Even though she had a grudge against Aunt Theresa, she did not want to disturb Granny. She wanted Granny to rest in peace."Alright," Jackson responded softly, letting go of Aunt Theresa's hand.Aunt Theresa stumbled a few steps backward and finally managed to steady herself. Her face was pale, and she glared at Serenity with hatred. Her wrist hurt, but she did not dare to charge at Serenity again."Damn you! Wait till Lynette comes and..."Another voice interrupted Aunt Theresa before she could finish her sentence. "Mom, what's wrong? What are you waiting for me to come for?"Serenity looked up to see her cousin Lynette walking in.Lynette was wearing a dress from Chanel's latest collection and holding a classic Chanel bag. She looked beautiful with the delicate makeup on her face, her loosely curled hair draped over her shoul

Something briefly flickered across Jackson's face when he saw Lucas and Lynette beside him, and a small smile spread across his lips. Jackson put an arm around Serenity's shoulder and greeted Lucas, "Lucas. Didn't expect to see you here."Lucas shifted his gaze to Jackson. "Jackson. It's been a while."Aunt Theresa had wanted to air her grievance to her daughter, Lynette. However, she froze when she saw the two men greeting each other. She asked, feeling dumbfounded, "Do you know each other?"Hearing that, Lucas looked at Jackson thoughtfully. "What? They don't know who you are?""I don't think so," Jackson replied. "I'm not as high-profile as you, but I'm curious as to why you're here with..." Jackson glanced at Lynette, who was standing next to Lucas. "With this woman? They said she knew a powerful man. That must be you, isn't it?"Feeling complicated, Lucas shifted his gaze toward Serenity in her wedding dress, and his heart began to ache again. It seemed like everything he
Chapter 653
Lynette had followed Lucas to Solaria lately, and she understood the significance of the name Jackson Valor! And Jackson Valor... He was her cousin Serenity's boyfriend! 'Isn't Serenity an ex-convict? How does she find a boyfriend like that?! And it's not just Jackson, but...'Lynette glanced at Lucas beside her. She composed herself and barely managed a smile. "So, it's Mr. Valor! Serenity, why didn't you tell us about him the last time you brought him over? Aren't you a little too shy?" Aunt Theresa hurriedly added with a smile, "Oh, Serenity. You're lucky to have Mr. Valor as your boyfriend! I'm sure your Granny Emily will rest in peace knowing this. Francis, Desmond, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and apologize! What you did last time was too rude!"Aunt Theresa's attitude had changed completely, and Uncle Francis and Uncle Desmond looked at each other in response. Uncle Francis and Uncle Desmond then tried to flatter Serenity instead, no longer showing the sheer arroganc
