"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

"I was just thinking about it," she shrugged. "It's important for an architect to have a big dream, right?""That's true," he replied.Then, when the auction started, Terry jumped into the bidding for the popular property and fought for it. "Mr. White," his assistant said with some surprise.After all, their initial auction targets did not include this property because it was highly sought-after, which meant that the competition would be fierce, and the final price might end up being too high. Even if they won the bid, they might only gain some reputation from it but not make much profit at all.Yet Terry merely replied, "Win this bid and we'll use this property to earn some reputation for the White family."Hearing this, the assistant no longer asked any questions, but he could not help glancing at the woman who was still sipping juice and scrolling through her phone. Could it be that Mr. White had suddenly decided to bid for this property because of what she had said?But how

"Never mind," she said. "I'll stay with this job for now. I'll just quit once I've gained some impressive achievements and made my resume look better.""But don't you mind how those people treated you earlier?""Of course I do! But…" Lisa shrugged and added, "I guess it's the disappointing helplessness of ordinary people. I'm just like them too. Even if I never got along with those people much, I still had to stay with the job in order to make a living. As for them… Well, the person attacking me at the time was Jenny Hall herself. If they had helped me back there, it would've meant declaring themselves as her enemy, and I'm not a dear friend of theirs anyway, so why would they ever do such a foolish thing just for me?"Terry was somewhat surprised that Lisa could see through all that.But as soon as Lisa had finished her sentence, her body seemed to stiffen up, and she began to stare at him with a weird look in her eyes."What's wrong?" he asked, frowning slightly. "Why are you
