“And that’s why you’ll have to choose your words wisely when talking to me in the future. For the sake of Grandma, I’ll remind you one more time that Lucas isn’t as easy to fool as you think. Often, you’ll end up with nothing when you get too greedy.” After she had issued her final warning, Serenity paid for her own coffee and left the cafe. Lynette remained seated in the same position. She wanted to take a sip of coffee to calm her nerves, but even that simple task became impossible because of her uncontrollable trembling.What should she do? Serenity’s memories had returned! If she ever spoke to Lucas about it…No, that must never happen! She had to find a way to convince Lucas that Serenity was lying even if she told him the truth. Somehow… she had to find a way out of this! ————After Serenity had left the cafe, she took a bus ride to the neighborhood where Mrs. Wells and Yanny were staying. When she arrived, she found that Clara was also present and that they were busy packing
Chapter 880
“Mr. Hall lets me ride on his shoulder, and he always brings me fun toys!”Yanny began counting his fingers and explaining the fun things that he had done with Peter, most of which were popular games between father and son. A hint of sadness could be seen in Clara’s eyes when that thought surfaced in her mind. No matter how good she was at playing her role as his mother, it was hard to deny the fact that Yanny had never had a father in his life. She was well aware of the envy in his eyes whenever he saw his friends playing with their fathers. She knew that he longed for a father figure in his life. It’s just that… Wilson would never be a good father. In fact… in his eyes, the boy probably didn’t even exist. Serenity noticed the dejection in her eyes, so she quickly changed the subject. Before she left, she asked Clara, “How’s your injury?” “Oh, it’s nothing to worry about. It doesn’t hurt as much when I walk now,” replied Clara with a smile. “Has Wilson ever come to visit you?”

The look in his eyes changed immediately the moment he saw Lynette holding the dress up. “What are you doing with that skirt? Put it back now!” His voice sounded so cold and hostile that it startled her. “W-Weren’t you… going to give me this dress?” As soon as she said that, Lucas’ expression changed again. Still, Lynette technically wasn’t wrong. From the day he had paid for this dress, he had planned to give it to the little girl who had saved his life. After so many years, he still remembered his promise to her, that he would give her a purple dress decorated with little flowers. However, when he finally met Lynette, he struggled to draw a connection between her and the girl from before. For decades, he had longed for this person, only for her to feel like a complete stranger when they finally met. “If you want a dress, I’ll get you another one later,” said Lucas as he took the dress away from Lynette. Her face froze up immediately. She decided to play along as if i

"What kind of place is it?" Serenity's curiosity was piqued.Lisa covered her mouth to hide her cheeky smile and said, "You'll find out soon enough."Serenity thought Lisa was smiling like a cunning brothel madame in a movie.When Lisa finally took her to the "cool spot", it turned out to be a simple basement bar. The place was mostly filled with young people ranging from 17 to their early 20s.The two of them looked really out of place among the youngsters.Serenity, not understanding the appeal, asked, "What's so great about this place?""You'll see!" Lisa answered with a wink.At 8 pm, a band with five members took the stage. The atmosphere in the bar became electrifying.The band seemed pretty ordinary to Serenity, but Lisa was very excited."Here they come, here they come!" "You brought me here to see them?" Serenity asked. "They've been very popular recently in certain circles. All five of them are good looking. When they dance, they're smoking hot!" Lisa grew more e

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Jackson asked indifferently."It's... about Ms. Lewis.""Serenity?" Jackson's expression turned serious, "What happened to her?""Well... Today, her friend Lisa Quest took her to an underground bar to watch a show."Jackson asked, "Did they get into a fight?" He wasn't that worried about her safety as he had dispatched people to protect her in secret.If those people couldn't even handle that kind of problem, they were as good as useless."No, but KING is performing at the underground bar today.""KING?" Jackson raised an eyebrow. "They're a bar band that's rising in popularity recently. Most of their fans are... young women," Connor's voice grew quieter as he spoke. "Keep going," Jackson said with narrowed eyes."KING's performance... incorporates a lot of dancing. Some of the dances... are meant to excite the female audience, particularly when they... strip..." Connor became increasingly nervous the more he spoke. When he said the w

As soon as Jackson exited the car, he could already hear the noises and shouting inside the bar. It made him frown.Noticing that, Connor suggested tentatively, "Mr. Valor, it's very crowded inside. Should I go in and retrieve Ms. Lewis for you?""No, I'll take care of it myself!" Jackson responded coldly.At that moment, a silver Porsche raced down the road and stopped in front of the bar.A tall man emerged from the car. He was taken aback when he saw Jackson.Jackson was similarly surprised to see him.The two men stared at each other.Connor fought the urge to laugh. You don't see a sight like this everyday! "Are you here for Lisa?" Jackson broke the silence.Terry's eyes lit up. "And you're here for... Serenity?" "You'll get yours and I'll get mine," Jackson stated.Alright, looks like Jackson is indeed here for Serenity, Terry thought to himself.The reason Terry knew Lisa was there was because, in her excitement, she took a picture of the stage and shared it on soc

Terry spotted Lisa on a table waving excitedly at the five men on stage. She seemed to be holding a man’s vest. It looked like... a performer's costume!Serenity was behaving a little better compared to Lisa. But not by much, Terry concluded.Serenity was currently standing on a chair, waving her hands and cheering excitedly. She shouted at the five men on stage who were dancing vigorously with their shirts off, "Keep going! Keep going!" "…..." This was definitely not the Serenity Lewis that Terry knew. Terry stole a glance at Jackson. The inside of the bar was dim so he could not see Jackson's facial expression, but even so... Terry wished Serenity luck.He had no idea what kind of fate awaited Serenity now that she had made Jackson Valor angry.They had already split up, but based on Jackson's reaction, Terry couldn't help but think that... things were not that simple between them.Jackson walked up to Serenity and swept her off her feet, carrying her off the chair.To hi

Jackson gave off a cold intensity, while Terry refused to back down an inch.It felt as if the two men were cut off from the noise around them.Connor, who was standing behind Jackson, was sweating with fear. If Mr. Valor got into a conflict with Terry White, the consequences would be dire.The White family may not be based in Solaria, but if they decided to fight the Valor family for real, both sides would suffer heavy losses.Moreover, Terry White may look like a gentleman on the outside, but he was actually ruthless and cunning.Otherwise, an illegitimate child like him would never have become the head of the White family.Just then, Serenity, who was in Jackson's arms, told Lisa, "Lisa, Jack came to pick me up... Let's watch the show again some other time!"Lisa replied, "Okay, some other time then!"The two intoxicated women had inadvertently lightened the mood. Jackson left the bar with a gloomy face with Serenity. Connor followed him outside.Terry wanted to take Lisa a
