Chapter 862
It had been a few days since Serenity had met Peter. Serenity thought Peter had already gotten over her. However, judging by the way Peter was looking at her, it seemed… Serenity could tell that Peter was not giving up."I have to pick up a kid today. I promised to take him to the amusement park. About the clue you're talking about..." Serenity felt troubled, not wanting to break her promise with Yanny. She would not want to disappoint Yanny. However, the clue was crucial to her work. If she had more clues, Leon might have a higher chance in his damage claim!Leon was in a coma in the hospital bed. Serenity really wanted to help the young man and his family."I'll drive you there. We can talk about the clues on the way," Peter suggested.Serenity thought it was a great idea. She would be able to hear about the clue and meet Yanny later. With that, she got into Peter's car.As Peter drove, he recounted the details he later recalled. Peter had followed behind Leon's car and was th

Yanny seemed very excited. Serenity could not say no to Peter and Yanny, so she nodded in agreement.The three of them then went to the amusement park together. While they were on the way, Peter initiated a conversation with Yanny.Yanny was surprisingly not shy around Peter. His eyes sparkled when Peter talked about some of the little toys he used to play with as a kid. Yanny even asked Peter about the toys from the older days. He had never heard of them and took a great interest in them.When they got to the amusement park, the three went to the ticket counter to buy their tickets.Yanny looked at the next queue. A little girl sat on her father's shoulder and looked around in excitement. Serenity noticed that Yanny kept looking at the little girl and her father.Yanny had grown up with Clara and Mrs. Wells. He had only met his biological father, Wilson, once. Serenity knew Yanny thought he had no father. The little one looked at the girl in envy, probably because he had never tr

"There are plenty of good women out there for you," Serenity said. After what she had been through, she was already emotionally damaged.Peter pulled up in front of Yanny's neighborhood. He scratched his head and said shyly, "Maybe that's how it is when you fall in love. I want to take a gamble."For a moment, Serenity did not know what to say. She had also had the same thoughts when she had been with Jackson. When Jackson had forced her to stay with him and shown his love for her, she had taken a gamble. Unfortunately, her gamble had not gone well.After dropping Yanny off, Peter drove Serenity home."Serenity. You don't need to feel pressured. Maybe… If you still don't like me, maybe I'll just give up in a few years," Peter mentioned.Serenity could feel Peter's kindness. He had probably said this because he did not want his feelings to burden her.After saying goodbye to Peter, Serenity went home. She opened the door, only to stiffen when she saw the man waiting inside. Jack

"Why do you have this…" Serenity murmured at a loss.A beautiful smile curved his lips, beaming at her. "Why can't I have this?" Jackson asked back with amusement as if she had asked a stupid question.Serenity caught her breath, daunted by Jackson's dangerous smile and question. Yeah. Jackson could enter her house whenever he pleased, waiting for her to come home. It would be easy for him to get a video like this. It was just that… Serenity was completely unaware that someone had been filming her and Peter earlier today. Was this the only video he had? She had taken Yanny to the amusement park with Peter today. Had he been watching the whole time?Serenity's scalp tingled at the thought. "You know what? What you're doing is a violation of privacy!" Serenity said solemnly.After all, no one would want to live under surveillance. Besides, Serenity had broken up with him. She could not even figure out why he would keep her under his watch.Jackson's lips curled into a smirk. He ro

His kiss was ravenous and domineering yet lingering. It reminded Serenity of the kiss the other night—the kiss she had felt when she was soundly asleep. It felt very much alike.Was that really him? Had he kissed her in her sleep?!His kiss made her breathless. When they broke the kiss, she gasped, panting for breath. "Quit liking Peter, okay?" Jackson rasped, murmuring under his breath. He rested his head against her forehead. Serenity shuddered at his words. Jackson was the one who had broken up with her. How could he forbid her from liking another man? "Jackson. Don't you think it's ridiculous for you to say that?"Jackson's face darkened. He wondered if she had any idea what he felt watching these videos of her and Peter at the amusement park. His jealousy seemed to be consuming him from within.Jackson had seen Serenity gazing at Peter, smiling. Serenity had even helped Peter to fix his tie. It hurt watching her do that to another man, that knife's edge of pain torturing h

What did he mean?!Serenity stared blankly at Jackson only to see his almost perfectly exquisite lips part, and the next words that came out of his mouth were, "Haven't you always longed for a family, Sis? Then why don't you keep on being my Sis?"Serenity was shocked into silence. After a while, she suddenly got an urge to burst out into a roar of laughter."You want me to continue being your sister and you'll be my younger brother?""Why not?" he asked her."Don't you realize how comical you are right now, Jackson Valor?!"This time, she really burst out laughing before adding, "Back then, you said you wanted to date me, so I agreed and we dated, and then you said you wanted to break up with me, and I agreed again, and now? You're bored of that dating game you played with me so you want to go back to playing the game of us pretending to be brother and sister, huh?"His expression instantly darkened, and he replied, "This isn't a game. You can be my Sis, the elder sister of Jac

Right now, her priority was in comparing the details Peter had provided her with to the information she already had, and from there, she would try to find more clues that would confirm the hunch she had of what had really happened!Meanwhile, the black car had already reached Valor Residence, but Jackson still would not get out of the car. Instead, he remained sitting in the back seat, his eyes closed but his mind focused while the mobile in his hand played a video. It was the video of Serenity at the amusement park with Peter and Yanny, but it was not the one Serenity had seen earlier. In fact, Jackson had many more videos like this on his phone. These videos captured every single thing Serenity had experienced at the amusement park today. Connor, who was sitting in front, was so tense at the moment that he dared not even breathe. The car was filled with the cheerful noise of people playing together, yet the atmosphere was dismal and dreary in the car.After a long while, he fin

"But the fingerprints on the steering wheel and the surveillance video of them getting into the car both indicated that Ann Hawkins was in the driver's seat and Susie Sheen was in the passenger seat," Mr. Graham argued."That is true," replied Serenity, "but… there's something fishy about the time.""The time?" Mr. Graham narrowed his eyes.Serenity continued, "I did a little experiment myself this morning and took a taxi from the location they got into the car to the location of the accident and made sure that the taxi was driving at the speed we estimated from the surveillance videos. It took me 15 minutes to get there, yet in this case, the witness, Peter Wall, immediately reported the accident to the police after it happened, which showed that the time between those two people getting into the car and the time of accident was 23 minutes! No matter how you look at it, the 8 minutes' difference is just too significant to ignore, don't you think?"Mr. Graham's eyes gleamed. This w
