"If I be Lucas' girlfriend, at least he wouldn't treat me as just a game..." she added.Stop, stop... He didn't want to hear it anymore...The next moment, he abruptly lowered his head and kissed her on the lips intensely, drowning out all her voice.Serenity was completely stunned, not expecting Jackson to suddenly kiss her. What was he doing? They had already broken up!She did not want such a kiss!Serenity struggled desperately.But the more she struggled, the harder he kissed her. He even gripped her hands tightly, not allowing her to move.After the kiss ended, he rested his forehead on hers and said in a hoarse voice, in almost a pleading tone, "Can you... not be Lucas' girlfriend?"His voice pulled her back to her senses. "Jackson Valor, who are you to ask this of me?"A thinly veiled anger crept into his watery eyes.He glared at her, and she glared right back at him.The air became tense.Suddenly, Serenity felt a sharp pain in her knee, making her frown. She refl

"Stop! It's no big deal. I don't need to go to the hospital," Serenity said hurriedly."Start the car," Jackson told the driver coldly.The driver started the car and headed for the hospital.Serenity knew that once Jackson had decided to do something, there was no stopping him.Therefore, she didn't try to persuade him anymore because she knew it was pointless. Since it was unavoidable, she could only accept it.After all, the biggest lessons she had learned over the years were enduring pain and accepting her circumstances.Her sudden silence surprised him.She sat quietly inside the car, her face slightly pale. Her eyebrows were slightly knitted as her eyes hung low. Her hands gripped her knees, the veins on the back of her hands slightly bulging as if she was in pain."Does it hurt?" he couldn't help but ask."It's nothing," she said flatly. Today's pain was nothing compared to the pain a few days ago when her knees flared up because she was standing for too long.Jackson

The car pulled up outside the hospital entrance. Jackson carried Serenity inside.The doctor attending to her was the same as before.After examining her knees, the doctor concluded, "Ms. Lewis, the discomfort in your knees is likely caused by the sudden stopping of your medication and prolonged exposure to the cold. Treating this joint problem is a long-term commitment. Abruptly stopping the medication might make your condition worse.""Prescribe the medicine. I'll make sure she comes over for consultation every week from now," Jackson said coldly. "I don't want long-term treatment. Just give me something to relieve the pain," Serenity requested.The doctor turned to Jackson with a troubled look. "Do as I say," Jackson said. Thus, the doctor gave Serenity a prescription and instructed a nurse to retrieve the medicine for her.Jackson was about to ask the gynecologist who treated Serenity's uterus problems previously to take a look at her condition, but Serenity said, "That

"K-Kiss you?" Her face instantly turned red and her voice stuttered a bit.He looked at her, not realizing how much desire was in his eyes. "Yes, that evening at the Skylit Bar's entrance.""…..." The Skylit Bar? Serenity started to sweat profusely. Getting drunk was a huge mistake!She didn't know she kissed him that evening! She couldn't remember! "If you don't believe me, ask Connor," he said. Connor? His secretary Connor Gunn? He saw it too?! Serenity's face turned even redder."You can also check the surveillance footage. Some of the surveillance cameras there should have caught it," he said.Serenity felt so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it.Surveillance footage... Did that count as getting caught red-handed?"No, it's okay," she said in embarrassment. If she had known she would act like that when she got drunk, she wouldn't have gone drinking.Serenity looked down, avoiding Jackson's gaze. Therefore, she didn't notice him looking at h

The nurse wondered who that woman was. She didn't look like anyone famous. She was wearing cheap, ordinary clothes.But Jackson Valor rubbed his knees for her and served her. Anyone with working eyes could tell that she was very important to him.Looking at the medicine, Serenity did not know if she should laugh or cry.This man was so cruel when he broke up with her, but now, he was gently handing her medicine and water as if they were still together.How could someone be so gentle and cruel at the same time?She took the medicine and the cup of water from him without saying anything and consumed the medicine.He picked her up again and carried her out of the hospital.His luxury car was already waiting at the entrance. When he put her down to open the car door, she took one step to the side, distancing herself from him.He raised his eyebrows slightly, looking surprised.She looked at him intently, scrutinizing him, as if she was trying to see what he was really thinking. In

She wanted to forget him, and she would?Even though her voice was calm, there was an underlying determination.He suddenly cocked back his hand and punched the car!"Mr. Valor!" the driver exclaimed in surprise. He saw a twisted haze permeating the handsome face of the powerful man.Serenity went back home and collapsed on the bed, feeling completely worn out.She was exhausted, as if she had just been through a tough battle.She had made things very clear to Jackson. Jackson probably wouldn't look for her anymore, considering how proud he was.Surprisingly, he called her "Sis" again today. It reminded her of the past when she brought him back to that little rental house.Life back then was hard, but it was warm.Back then, she really felt like she had a family.Alas! In the end, she's alone again."Jack, I'll definitely forget you," Serenity whispered. She told herself to forget the man called Jack. In this world, there's only Jackson Valor now!He was a very powerful

Serenity went to the receptionist and asked her to deal with the roses.The receptionist sorted the roses into bundles and gave them out to everyone in the office. Although many people were pleased with the flowers, Liliana seemed upset. She looked as if someone owed her a lot of money.Were Serenity and Jackson Valor still together? It would explain why the bill was taken care of at Skylit Bar and it would certainly explain the roses too.But if they're still together, why was Serenity dressed so poorly? Even her handbag was an old model from years ago! It even looked old!Liliana's eyes suddenly lit up. She had come up with another brilliant plan.Not long after that, Mr. Graham summoned Serenity to his office. "Do you have a boyfriend?" Mr. Graham went straight to the point. After all, he specified in the vacancy ad that he would like to hire someone without a partner. "No," answered Serenity."Then what's with all the roses?" he asked. "They're from Coles Lexington. Whe

"I will," Serenity replied. According to the information she gathered earlier, Peter's car was right behind Leon's car when the accident occurred.Essentially, Peter was a primary witness of the accident!He was definitely the one to talk to to learn about the specifics of the case. "Do you want to have dinner together?" Peter checked the time and said, "It's almost dinnertime." "Thanks, but I'm good," Serenity declined with a smile. She was obviously trying to keep her distance. She wasn't sure if Peter still had feelings for her, so she didn't want to send him the wrong signals."I have more information about the case that I want to discuss with you. I thought we could talk about it over dinner, if that works for you. It won't take up too much of your time," Peter said. Serenity hesitated for a moment, then said, "Well... okay. But we'll go Dutch, alright?" "No problem," Peter grinned. As long as she would have dinner with him, he was happy.Lisa went to visit Seren
