Her lips were beautiful? Aria was a little perplexed. After all, among all the facial features, the lips were not really something people would usually notice. As long as the lips were not too ugly, they were not that different from one another.Therefore, Aria could never have imagined that it was her lips that Lucas liked.But regardless, it was her good fortune all the same.She must hang onto Lucas Gomez and become the most popular actress. And then, maybe she could even... marry into a rich family and change her life completely!Aria could already see a bright future beckoning to her. She failed to notice that, although the man in front of her was smiling, the smile did not reach his eyes."By the way, do you know Jackson Valor personally?" Lucas suddenly asked.Aria shook her head. How could she know someone like Jackson Valor?Lucas pursed his lips slightly and said, "Don't mess with him. If you do, even I might not be able to protect you."Of course, the more important

Zeke walked away from the conversation with so many questions.The engagement ceremony began not long after that. Jackson Valor looked on as Zeke Shaw and Janet Hall exchanged engagement rings and gave their engagement speeches on stage. A smile flashed across his face.Tomorrow, after the engagement party photos were released to the public, there could no longer be any possibility of Serenity and Zeke reconciling.The engagement ceremony concluded. While the guests were offering their congratulations, Jackson Valor left the venue.His silver Bentley was parked outside. Connor respectfully opened the door for him. He got into the car."Do you wish to go back to Miss Lewis' apartment?" asked Connor."Yeah," answered Jackson as he leaned back on the seat and closed his eyes.Today, Lucas Gomez gave him a surprise. He did not expect Lucas' latest girlfriend to be Aria Lewis, Serenity's half-sister.That woman, in his opinion, had no redeeming qualities. He had no idea what Lucas s

"I like it." Jackson smiled and put down the logo he was holding. "Sis, I'll buy you a thousand sweaters in the future so that you can wear them anytime you want, okay?”"That's too many. I can't wear them all," Serenity chuckled and said, "Oh, right. I have to measure your hand."She grabbed his hand and started to measure it with a roll of measuring tape.Jackson frowned slightly. He could feel how cold her hand was through the skin contact. "Stop knitting. Your hands are so cold," he said."It's fine. Hey, don't move your hand, or I won't get the right measurement," she muttered. She pulled his hand back and once again positioned his fingers so that she could get the measurements she wanted. "We're indoor, so it's not that cold. Sweeping the road late at night or early in the morning, now that's cold. Even in gloves, my hands would sometimes go completely numb from the cold.”A layer of mist swept across Jackson's eyes as if to cover up the guilt in them. Actually... he could e

She did not notice his body stiffening slightly when she said that."Do you want to see Jackson Valor?" he asked."Not really. He and I are simply two worlds apart," she said, "But speaking of Jackson Valor, his back in a suit looks a bit like yours. I think if you wore a suit, you would look really good too."He pursed his lips and kept quiet.She continued, "Let's save some money and buy you a suit when spring comes so that you can wear it when you're looking for a job. Some interviews require you to wear formal clothes.""If you see Jackson Valor one day, what would you say to him?" he suddenly asked.Serenity fell into silence. After a while, she said with a wry smile, "I would beg him to leave me alone."He was stunned. "That's it?""Yeah," she said."Don't you want to tell him that you're innocent? Don't you want his help to overturn the case?""There's no use. When I was on trial, Lisa went to his company and begged to see him, but he simply refused to see her. In pris

Serenity had lost count of the number of times she had to explain that Jack was not her boyfriend, but her younger brother. However, after the old lady found out that they were not related by blood, she went back to thinking that he was her boyfriend."He might not be right now, but he will be in the future. A sibling relationship like yours isn't real.” That was what the old lady said.Therefore, Serenity did not bother to explain anymore.But whenever the old lady called Jack "the boyfriend", he would smile and respond.Jackson put Serenity on a stone bench in the park and said, "It's colder today than it was yesterday. I'll go get you another piece of clothing to put on.""Okay," she replied.When he came back with the clothes, he saw the neighborhood aunties surrounding Serenity and telling her something while she blushed profusely and waved her hands repeatedly.Jackson slowed down. She looked so cute when she was blushing, like a harmless little kitten. It made him want to

"Are you going, then?" asked Jackson.Serenity nodded. "But... " She hesitated for a moment, "Do you want to go with me?"He pondered for a moment and said, "I have to work overtime on New Year's Eve. My boss said he would triple the pay. Why don't you give me the address? I'll go on New Year's Day.""Okay," said Serenity. But after that, she bit her lip and said hesitantly, "But some of my relatives might give you attitude. Just ignore them.”Jackson smiled, "Don't worry, I don't care."She was the only one he cared about.The closer it got to the New Year, the fewer people there were on the streets. Many people had gone back to their hometown to spend the New Year with their family.Serenity's mother's maiden home was in a small town outside Solaria. It was not very far from the city, only about an hour and a half away by bus. Therefore, tickets were not that big of a problem.When Serenity booked the tickets, she told Jackson, "Jack, give me your ID. I'll book a ticket for y

After Serenity left, Jackson felt a sense of emptiness as he looked around the small rented home. He picked up the scarf she had left on the table and wrapped it around his neck with a slight smile.By the time Jackson walked out, Connor had been waiting outside for a long time. Connor was dumbfounded to see his boss with the scarf. Mr. Valor had never been fond of wearing scarves, but he wore a plain scarf around his neck this time.As Jackson approached, Connor managed to get a better look at the scarf. Judging by the yarn and pattern, it was certainly a hand-made scarf.Why would Mr. Valor wear a hand-made scarf? There was only one answer to it. Serenity must have hand-made the scarf for him!"Mr. Valor, where shall we...""To the hospital. I'll have dinner with Zack for New Year's Eve today." Jackson ordered."Yes," Connor responded and drove Jackson to the hospital.***The bus stopped at an elevated exit near the town.Serenity got off the bus. It had been three years, a

After all, her father and brothers had promised to give her thirty thousand dollars out of the three hundred thousand dollars.Thirty thousand dollars was a year's salary for her!However, Emily would not agree to whatever Theresa and Henry said. Finally, Theresa left a harsh warning, "Mom! Fran and Des have spoken. If you ruin this, Micah and Myran won't be able to afford a house or get married. They'll resent you for the rest of their lives!"Emily was furious and anxious. "How could you... Do you all even have a conscience?! Have you forgotten how Serenity treated us?!"Theresa laughed.

When a girl from a good family hears that someone from our family was in prison, would she want to marry into the family? If they don't even have a house ready,
