But before she could get anywhere near Jackson, Connor was already blocking her way."Get out of my way!" she shouted. She tried to go around Connor, but there was no way Connor would let her get to Jackson.Lisa struggled in futile for a long while, but she still could not get anywhere near Jackson, so she shouted at Terry, who was rushing out of the car, "Hey, get your a*s over here now and help me!"Terry strode up toward her but then looked straight at Jackson and told him, "Mr. Valor, my girlfriend would like to take Serenity home, so please tell your subordinate to make way for her."Jackson pursed his lips but said nothing, his eyes locked on the woman in his arms.At that point, Lisa could no longer restrain herself from blurting out, "Why the hell are you holding Serenity like that, Jackson Valor?! Have you forgotten that you're the one who wanted to break up with her? Since you guys have already f*cking broken up now, why the hell are you still hugging her?!"As soon as

Terry's face darkened. He strode forward and stood in front of Lisa before saying, "Mr. Valor, Lisa was just trying to protect her friend. If she has offended you, let me bear the punishment on her behalf.""I don't need your help, Terry! I can bear the punishment myself!""How on earth do you think you can bear it?!" Terry shot back. "Do you have any idea what you're talking about?!""At most, I'll just get beaten up till I'm half dead! I'm prepared for that!""Lisa! Are you trying to p*ss me off right now?!"Terry had always been able to keep his temper under control no matter what happened except whenever he was facing Lisa. Jackson's icy gaze was locked on Lisa. It was clear that he would not let the matter slide so easily. But just then, Serenity, who had been so drunk that she had fallen asleep up to this point, suddenly rubbed her head against Lisa's shoulder and mumbled, "Lisa… Don't be scared… I'm here, and I'll protect you…"Lisa's eyes were welling up with tears. Was

"When I was still in school, I was accused of stealing money in class. Everyone thought I was the one who did it. The teacher urged me very sternly to fess up. Even my parents told the school that they were willing to pay back the money that was lost, but the truth was that I never stole anything!"As Lisa spoke, her nose twitched as it suddenly began to sting, but she went on, "I remember that feeling of helplessness. I don't know if you can ever understand it. It's like the whole world is against you, and you're all alone without any help, without anyone by your side. It didn't matter how much I explained to everyone that I was innocent, no one would believe me, and yet… At that moment, Serenity believed in me. She even figured out who the real thief was!"As she spoke of this, Lisa smiled before adding, "At that point, I made up my mind that Serenity would be my best friend for the rest of my life!"Terry pursed his thin lips tightly. Was such a… trivial matter the reason why Lis

With a calm expression, he gently took her hand and told her, "Yes, I'm willing to be your knife, even if the one you're going up against is Jackson Valor."For her, he was willing to be anyone's enemy if it meant that he was fulfilling her wish.Because he… had fallen so deeply in love with her.Yes, he loved her.It was a genuine and profound love, yet he had never truly told her about it yet. He had been angry with her, had hated her, had held a grudge against her, yet in the end, he discovered that none of these feelings outweighed his love for her.During their three years of separation, he always assumed that he had been hating her, but at the end of the day, what he was really feeling was just love. He missed her every day, and before he knew it, the love he had for her only grew deeper and deeper as time passed."Lisa," he declared, "I will be the knife in your hands alone for the rest of my life."In that instant, Lisa could feel how violently her heart was thumping in

After all, there were many of these "Cinderellas" these days who refused to use any of their rich boyfriend's money while they were dating and would rather go on living a frugal life without their boyfriend's help. Serenity's colleague thought Serenity looked very much like such a "Cinderella", and in fact, when she was chatting with her other colleagues earlier, they were all speculating about who was the one to pay their bill yesterday."I'm not his girlfriend," Serenity denied. Even if she really was his girlfriend in the past, she no longer was at present."Huh?" the colleague responded in confusion, not expecting Serenity to deny it so bluntly. "You're not his girlfriend? But Liliana said…""So, is my boyfriend going to be whoever she said it is?" Serenity snapped back.The colleague choked and no longer had any idea how to respond. Serenity then walked out of the pantry with a glass filled with water, returned to her seat, and began working.To her, love had already beco

At best, they might probably land the design projects for a batch of residential properties."Lisa," the director reminded her, "remember not to space out like that once we get in there! We'll be meeting a lot of senior executives from real estate companies today!""I know," replied Lisa as she calmed herself down.Just as they walked into the grand hall, Lisa's steps halted abruptly when she noticed a familiar figure—Jenny Hall!The same younger Miss Hall who had made Serenity's life in prison a living hell, whom Lisa hated to the bone!But because she came from a powerful family, even after being banned from the entertainment industry, she was still the precious daughter of the wealthy Hall family and was now taking up a high position in the Hall Group.At the moment, Jenny was clad in expensive custom-made clothes, her long wavy hair cascading luxuriously down her shoulders and her face covered in exquisite makeup. She simply radiated with beauty and glamor. She was surround

"You still have the nerve to stand there yammering, huh?" shouted a man who was acting like a knight in shining armor rushing in to save Jenny Hall. "So what if you're told to get out?! Who do you think you are, anyway?!""What right do you have to tell me to get out?" Lisa challenged, stubbornly standing her ground. "Which laws state that I can't be here? That it's not a place for someone like me? I'm telling you, I can sue you for this!""Sue me? Fine! I want to see you do it!"The man then ordered his two subordinates, "Drag this woman out of here before she spoils Miss Hall's mood!"The two burly men then rushed toward Lisa and took each of her arms before starting to drag her out toward the exit. At that moment, neither Director Tackman nor any of her colleagues dared to speak up for her.Seeing this, Jenny gave a thin smile and jeered at Lisa, "I guess you have no choice but to get out now. Serenity Lewis might have someone protecting her, but that doesn't mean that you've

Terry waved his hand lazily and said, "Looks like you really don't want to apologize now. If I can't make those people who hurt my girlfriend pay for what they did, what kind of a lousy boyfriend would I be, right? People would laugh at me!"The man had been beaten so hard that he had to just lie there on the ground. All he knew was how it hurt like hell where he had gotten punched just now that he could not even talk anymore.Terry then turned to Jenny and asked, "What about you, Miss Hall? Are you going to apologize?"He sounded very polite and gentlemanly, yet there was an undeniable threatening tone to his voice. Jenny even felt that if she dared to refuse him, she would end up just like the man who was now lying on the floor.This man clearly would not let her off easy just because she was a woman.In that instant, she finally recognized who this man was. He was the new head of the White family who had just taken up the position half a year ago, Terry White.Even though he w
