Her silence only made Lucas more convinced of his assumption. "So you really did forget something. Is it something related to me?"Serenity bit her lip. "Mr. Gomez, your imagination is far too rich. It's true that I came here for hypnotherapy, but not for the reason you said. The treatment is for some other problems that I have. As you know, I was imprisoned for three years, so I have mental health issues like anxiety, among other things."He looked at her intently, as if trying to discern the truth in her words. "Really? You have an anxiety disorder?" She returned his gaze. "And how do you know that I don't?"He suddenly leaned in closer, pressing his finely chiseled face close to hers. "Did you know that the words you said while holding onto my hand at the convention were exactly the same words that the little girl who saved me said when I was a child?"Like I said, I was just talking gibberish," she said with a straight face. "Gibberish?" he snorted. "You grabbed my hand and

Serenity stopped struggling. She took a deep breath to calm herself and said, "The person who saved you is Lynette. Isn't that the result of your own investigation? Why are you suddenly asking me that question? Don't you think it's ridiculous?"Her words doused him like cold water, causing his face to pale."If Lynette were here and heard you ask me that, how do you think she would feel?" Serenity asked.His bloodshot eyes were fixed on her. All the evidence he found had indeed pointed to Lynette Blossom.All the evidence told him that Lynette Blossom was the person he was looking for.Despite that, he could not shake the feeling that Serenity Lewis was the right one. Was it because of her appearance? Or was it because of the look he sometimes saw in her eyes?Even though the world had been cruel to her, she still held onto a trace of dignity. Her sense of justice simply... reminded him so much of the little girl!"Are you... really not her?" Such simple words, but it was a stru

"You're back. How did it go?" Jackson asked."Not bad," Serenity pondered for a bit before saying, "If I still get headaches after this, can you recommend another doctor to me?"His eyes flickered slightly as he replied, "Sure.""By the way, I never knew that you're interested in baking cakes. Why did you suddenly decide to learn it? How long have you been learning?" Serenity asked as she lowered her head to take a closer look at the cake Jackson had just decorated.It looked pretty good. At least to a layman like her, it looked similar to the cakes sold in bakeries."Mr. Valor is a fast learner. He quickly grasped the essentials after I taught him once," the pastry chef complimented Jackson."Alright, that's it for today. Thank you, chef," Jackson told the pastry chef.The chef nodded and left the kitchen.Now, Serenity and Jackson were the only people left in the spacious kitchen."What about you? Anything interesting happened at the hospital today?" he asked casually.Of c

He stared at her in silence, then smiled.His smile was as brilliant as a snowy mountain under the sun, so beautiful that she could not take her eyes off it."Serenity, I believe you," Jackson said.He was suspicious by nature and had never truly had faith in anything.But he wanted to believe what she said, that she would never let him down, that she would never betray him!Even though she hid what happened between her and Lucas from him... he would believe her one more time!He would believe what she said and believe nothing would happen between her and Lucas! He would also believe in himself, that he would not repeat his father's mistake!He bent down and kissed her.Unlike the gentle way she had kissed him, his kiss was overbearing, as if he wanted to take possession of all her sweetness.But at the same time, the kiss was also unbelievably tender.And that tenderness was reserved just for her!After the kiss ended, Serenity could barely stand. She blushed hard."What's

Her hands were cupped in his hands. The contrast between the two pairs of hands, one large and one small, were striking.His hands were beautiful. From the shape of his fingers, to the length, to the joints and nails, they all looked perfect.On the contrary, some of the joints on her hands looked unnatural, two of them particularly crooked. Her hands looked like the kind of hands that had gone through many years of manual labor. Upon closer inspection, one could even see some scars on her skin...Next to his hands, her hands looked ugly."Why are you suddenly grabbing my hands..." Serenity bit her lip slightly, wanting to pull her hands back.But he would not let her. "From now on, if there's anything that you want to do but can't because of your hands, I'll do it for you."She was stunned. Noticing the guilty look on his face, she realized something, so she smiled and said, "It's not your fault that I have bad hands. You don't have to feel guilty about it.When he saw the smil

"Who? Who's blacklisting me?" she asked fiercely.But when her agent told her the person's name, her face paled.Jackson Valor!The person who wanted to blacklist her was Jackson Valor!Jackson Valor had never been interested in the entertainment industry. He had never messed with any celebrity before. This was the first time!As for the reason... Jenny's mind drifted to the incident at the convention. She acted humble and apologized to Serenity, asking for Serenity's forgiveness, but Serenity refused to forgive her.After that, Jackson Valor said, "So be it."She expected Jackson Valor to do something, but she didn't think he would go so far as to blacklist her from the entertainment industry!No matter what, she was still Jackson Valor's sister-in-law in name!Even though Jackson Valor never truly loved Mira, the public still believed that the Valor family and the Hall family were close.If news of her being blacklisted by Jackson Valor spread, she would be completely embar

Demetria and Jenny were shocked.The piece of land in the south of the city was highly-prized. The Hall family went through a lot of effort to get their hands on it. The real estate industry had been booming in the last few years, so that piece of land was now worth over a billion dollars!They would give Serenity Lewis a billion dollars – just like that?No way!Demetria was about to have a fit, but to her surprise, Quinton's face sank when he heard Jackson's reply. She heard him say, "Would you really not consider it, Mr. Valor?"Jackson Valor... refused?Demetria and Jenny were both speechless.A moment later, Quinton put down his phone and gave his second daughter a helpless look.She reaped what she sowed.Who could have predicted that the originally weak and helpless Serenity Lewis would now have the most powerful backing in Solaria."Just leave the entertainment industry and come back to work for the family.

After thinking about it for the past few days, Clara had actually resolved herself for what was to come. If she could not avoid contact with Wilson Birch, if she could not prevent Wilson Birch from finding her, then when that day came, she would just let him have all the revenge he wanted."But..." Serenity looked like she wanted to say something, but Clara gently took her hand and said, "I know you're concerned about me. I'm really happy to have a friend like you, but... this is between Wilson and I. It needs to be resolved sooner or later."After a pause, Clara added, "Serenity, I would only ask one thing from you."Clara's expression was serious and earnest. It made Serenity's heart thump."If... Wilson really finds me, I might not be able to see my mom and Yanny for a while. When that time comes, I hope you can help me take care of them for a period of time. After all, my mom is old and Yanny is young, so they can't do much by themselves," said Clara. She had already left her
