"Spacing out?" he mumbled. In an instant, the scissors were already completely in his hand.He looked down at it with a cold look in his eyes. Just now, the thought that had gone through his head was that he was willing to die if she really wanted to kill him!How could he have such a ridiculous thought?He never wanted to place his life in the hands of any woman. He should be the only one who had the power over his own life, right? Was this not the exact reason why he had broken up with her back then?But why did he still think that way at that moment, even after they had broken up?"I really wasn't trying to kill you, Jackson."His silence had made her misunderstand what he was actually thinking. "Even if we did break up," she added, "and even if I was heartbroken and sad about it at first, it was all in the past now. I would never try to kill you just because you broke up with me."His eyebrows rose without him realizing it. She was clearly just trying to clarify things wit

His answer left Serenity speechless.What did he think of her as... his lucky charm? She shook her head, trying to discard these ridiculous thoughts in her mind and focus on the case materials in her hands.In a few days, the trial for Leon's case would formally begin. Based on the way the defendant behaved, it seemed as if she wanted to keep on dragging the trial for as long as possible and avoid paying any compensation.To the defendant, being in prison for a year instead of paying out millions of dollars was indeed a good bargain, and although Serenity was about 70% to 80% sure that the true perpetrator was the actress, Susie Sheen, the evidence she had now was not nearly enough to prove it in court!Perhaps… Perhaps she should take another trip along the route that the defendant's car had taken. That way, she might be able to find some new clues. After all, that was the only thing she could do right now, otherwise, even if they won the case when it went to trial, Leon and his f

She called him by that name over and over again, yet at the same time, she kept silently reminding herself that he was Jackson Valor and no one else."I'll always be Jack whenever I'm with you," he told her, holding her with both of his hands.As his scent enveloped her whole body, sadness flashed across her eyes. He would forever be just Jackson Valor to her now because her Jack was gone the moment he had broken up with her!***Meanwhile, in a hotel bedroom, Wilson told Sandra through the phone, "I'll be home tomorrow, okay? Don't worry about the rumors online. I'll deal with it.""What in the world is going on, Wilson? What made you leave without telling me anything at all? I… I'm not blaming you, I just want to know the truth."Sandra's voice was tinged with such innocent distress that anyone listening to her would have rushed to comfort and reassure her."I'll tell you everything once I get home," replied Wilson as he massaged his temples.He had barely slept at all over t

"Uncle!" cried Yanny in surprise.Wilson walked up to the boy and tousled his hair.When Clara's mother heard the noise, she walked over, and her face turned ashen when she saw Wilson. She had an urge to pull her grandson away from him, but she shook like a leaf again when she saw how he coldly glanced at her.This was the man who had brought so much pain to the Wells family. So much pain that she could not even begin to describe it. When Clara was in custody, she had begged him not to appear in court and testify against Clara, but it was of no use at all, because this man merely coldly looked at her and told her, "This is what the Wells family owes to the Birch family, and this is what she owes to Sandra Cooper! In fact, just letting her stay in prison for a few years is too kind of a punishment after what she's done!"Clara realized that her mother was afraid right now, so she rushed up to her and held her hands firmly. Only then did her mother calm down a little."Let's talk

"Does that mean that you'll be staying with me and Mommy and Grandma from now on?" Yanny asked in his innocent voice, which was filled with longing and anticipation. In all the cartoons he had watched, the whole family had always lived together!Wilson stared at his son intently and was about to answer him, but Clara suddenly cut him off by saying, "That's enough, Yanny. He… Your daddy… is very busy, and he has to go now. Let's say goodbye to him before he leaves, okay?"The words "your daddy" were spoken very reluctantly, but Clara managed it."So, Daddy won't stay with us today?" asked the boy, faintly disappointed."This room is too small!" replied Clara while looking at Wilson with pleading eyes. "If he… If your daddy is to stay here with us, we'd all be cramped together, won't we?"Clara wished Wilson would stop speaking now or he might cause her son's innocent world to crumble down into dust.Wilson frowned. He was planning to say something, but the words seemed to be stuck
Chapter 926
When Wilson was back in his car, he unconsciously touched the spot on his arm where Clara had grabbed him. It was the first time she had touched him after they had met each other again, and he could clearly sense that her hand was trembling. In fact, as he pulled her fingers away from his arm one by one, he felt how cold they were.It was as cold as… a corpse's hand!'Stop it!' he reminded himself as he shut his eyes. 'Stop thinking about it! Stop wasting your time on that woman!'No matter how pitiful that woman pretended to be, Wilson would never change his mind, and he would take his son back to the Birch family where he belonged!***Serenity wanted to find new clues as soon as possible, so she traced the route that the vehicle took on the night that the accident happened. She had made a post online earlier, asking if there were any taxi drivers who had recordings from their dashboard cameras of the route in the unmonitored area on the night of the accident, and if so, to co

“Alright,” replied Serenity smilingly. It appeared that things were going more smoothly than she had anticipated. It was only a matter of time before she got her hands on the evidence. Once she proved that Susie was the real perpetrator and stopped her from transferring her property away, Leon would be entitled to his compensation! The thought of this improved Serenity’s mood significantly. It wasn’t ten minutes later when she noticed an ordinary white van driving in her direction before rolling to a stop in front of her. The door slid open, and a man wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap entered her view. He remained in his seat as he asked her, “You’re Serendipity aren’t you?” Serenity glanced over at the man seated in the front seat. Like the first man, he also sported a baseball cap and sunglasses. Not only that, but he also wore a mask to deliberately hide his face. Her instincts were on red alert as she subconsciously took a step back. In the next moment, the man wh

“Alright. Get that man’s number from her, but you’re gonna make the call! If she says anything out of line, don’t hesitate to kill her!” said the driver mercilessly. Serenity’s face was painted with fear. However, she knew that the worst thing she could do now was to submit to her fear. If she did that, there would be no going back. At the very least, she was in a much better situation than before. When she was in prison, she could try her best, but she could never avoid getting hurt by others. Whatever they were planning to do with her, she had to bear it all. The man pulled out his cell phone, and Serenity repeated Jackson’s phone number. Serenity felt despair thinking about the situation she was in. She wanted to maintain a strict boundary with Jackson, which was why she kept reminding herself to stop treating him like the Jack from before. However, at such a critical moment, she had no choice but to seek his assistance. The call got through after a while of ringing.
