Chapter 927
“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.
Chapter 929
Was it because of Jackson? Because she was sure that he would save her, one way or another! The thought of him made Serenity smile bitterly. Despite starting out with the intention to rely on herself, in the end, she still had to rely on him. The driver headed for the south of the city, and Serenity noticed that they were heading into the boonies. It wasn’t long before they would be completely out of the city. Serenity had no idea what Jackson was planning, but just as their van was about to join the highway that led out of the city, their vehicle was brought to an abrupt halt. “What’s the problem?” asked the man in the back. The driver remained silent the whole time. Sensing something was off, the man turned to Serenity and began threatening her. “You’d better tell the truth!” He then shuffled to the front of the van and stuck his head out between the seats to peer through the windshield. In an instant, his body grew stiff as a rock. An astonished expression appeared o

That man… he had to be the sugar daddy that the paralegal mentioned, right? Still, what sort of a sugar daddy was capable of pulling off such a feat? Jackson stared down the man who had assaulted Serenity coldly. He issued an instruction to the subordinates who were following him. “When you bring him back, give him a taste of what it’s like to be slapped.” “Understood,” replied one of the men. For Jackson to have specially given an instruction, it was practically guaranteed that this man would be wishing for his death later on. The man without the mask trembled in fear. As he watched Jackson carry Serenity over to a black Bentley, he yelled out, “Who on earth are you? And that woman… is she really just a paralegal?!” Given her average looks, how could she possibly have such a strong person backing her?!The man found it impossible to believe. What he had initially thought was an easy mission had turned out to be the complete opposite. No one answered his question. Instea

However, Jackson wasn’t talking about her physical injuries, but the wounds in her heart. He wondered how long it would take for her to fully heal from it, or if that was even possible.***Their car stopped right in front of the hospital, where Jackson got out of the vehicle holding her hand. The doctor was already waiting for them in a special consultation room. They began to run a check-up on Serenity as soon as she arrived. Thankfully, she had only suffered superficial injuries, and there was nothing to worry about. The redness and swelling on her face would subside in a few days. After they had wrapped up the examination, a new shirt was placed in front of her. “Put it on,” urged Jackson. “Alright.” Her current shirt was torn from the shoulders, so she had to put on something else. She reached out and grabbed the shirt, but he still refused to let go. Serenity looked up at him with a confused look.“You’re injured. It’s gonna be difficult for you to change.” So?

"Oh my God! You're hurt! Why didn't you tell me?" When Lisa came to visit Serenity at Serenity's apartment, she was shocked to see the redness and swelling on Serenity's cheeks. "It actually looks worse than it is. It doesn't hurt anymore," Serenity said, hesitant to admit that it looked even worse two days ago. "What happened? How did you get hurt? Who did this to you?" Lisa asked. Serenity explained that she was kidnapped. Even though Serenity tried to play down the situation, Lisa was still alarmed.Towards the end of her story, Lisa suddenly asked, "Wait, you said the highway exit was blocked off by the police? Don't tell me the police were waiting for your kidnappers' car at the highway exit that day?"Serenity was surprised and asked, "What?"
