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
Chapter 849
Serenity tearfully hugged Lisa back and said, "Okay! Your children will be my children too! Our children will have two mothers..." Thank God for Lisa! Lisa was the one person who would never abandon her!How could she ever repay Lisa for everything Lisa had done for her?Even if she dedicated her entire life to repay Lisa, it would not be enough.Over the next few days, Serenity continued to gather information about the case, so she naturally had to get in touch with Peter more often.They dined together a few times, but Serenity insisted on splitting the bill every time. "I think that Peter Wall guy likes you. He's actually not bad. He looks like a decent guy to me," Lisa said. She ran into him once when she visited Serenity and talked to him for a little bit.Peter left a good impression on her. Even though he wasn't very good-looking, she thought he was sincere, honest, and dependable. He was also a bit shy. He would blush when he looked at Serenity.There weren't many me

Thus, Lisa told Terry about Peter Wall's situation. After that, she gossiped, "I think Peter definitely likes Serenity. He would always drive her home after discussing the case with her. I've asked around – he lives on the opposite side of town, nowhere near Serenity." Terry heaved a sigh of relief. Thank goodness Lisa had not fallen for another man.Even though Lisa said she liked him and wanted to go out with him, he was still a little wary of her because she had prior offense."Even if he likes Serenity, it ultimately depends on whether or not she's interested. I don't think Serenity is in the mood to fall in love again so soon," Terry remarked. Lisa instantly deflated like a balloon that was poked, "You're right. This is all Jackson Valor's fault. He really hurt Serenity. I should have told her not to go out with him when they started dating."Rather than advising Serenity against it, Lisa actually agreed to it! She felt like slapping herself because of that!"These things

Lisa's eyes widened in surprise as she saw Terry's reddening cheeks. 'Oh, dear! He's blushing! Seriously?! Is he really blushing?!' Lisa thought. She could not resist the urge to touch him.Lisa reached out her hand to his cheek. Terry stiffened but did not stop her, letting her fingers caress his face. "W-What are you doing?" he asked."Wow! Terry! Your face is red…" Lisa said in disbelief.Terry froze and turned his head away. "Don't talk nonsense."Lisa muttered, "I'm not talking nonsense…" Noticing that his ears were red, she wasted no time in reaching out her hand to his ear. His ears were red and warm. "Stop that," Terry said, wanting to pull her hand off."Hey, let me touch it! I haven't had enough!" Lisa complained without realizing how flirtatious her words were and how easy it was to arouse him.Terry's ear was already on fire. He wanted to pull her hand away, but his body would not move. Something about her touch made him reluctant to let go.Was this the price of l

Jackson stopped in his tracks, his face turning somber. Connor stood beside Jackson, trembling with fear. He wished he could shut Lisa's mouth.Lately, Serenity's name had become a taboo in the Valor Group! Lisa Quest was so fearless and even mentioned Serenity's name loudly. Connor was afraid that Jackson might have a sudden outburst!The air around them suddenly turned colder. Standing next to Jackson, Connor felt a shiver run down his spine!Feeling satisfied, Lisa held Terry's arm and left after she was done talking. Lisa's petty behavior amused Terry. He knew spiteful people and women were the hardest to deal with. Lisa was one of them. His girlfriend was indeed a spiteful woman!Before leaving, Terry glanced over his shoulder at Jackson. Did Jackson stop loving Serenity? Did he get bored of her? He did not want to continue the relationship with Serenity, so he broke up with her.Terry had his doubts about that. He had seen Jackson and Serenity together before. Serenity had

Serenity and Peter Wall had lunch at a restaurant near the hospital. Serenity had met Peter again when she came to the hospital to visit Leon, who was still in a coma. Peter had been by her side while she was gathering information. While she was busy at work, he had even helped her with some errands.Peter had a crush on her but kept quiet about it. Serenity could tell, but she could not be too blunt with him. She tried to keep her distance and not give him the wrong message.It was close to one in the afternoon. Serenity was so busy with matters in the hospital that she almost forgot about lunch. Peter had not eaten either."You've done me a lot of favors. Lunch is on me today," Serenity said.Peter gave her a shy smile. "I'm the man. I should be the one treating you to a meal.""There's no difference between men and women. You can treat me when I help you in the future," Serenity said.Peter's eyes lit up, and he nodded.The restaurant near the hospital served popular meals.
