"Ain’t that right, Sis?" He still called her Sis like before. The slightly raised tone at the end hinted at a kind of attachment.But she felt as if there was a heavy mountain pressing down on her chest, weighing her down so much that she could hardly breathe.Serenity returned to the ward with Jackson. Right after they entered the ward, Jackson asked the nurse to leave.The two of them were thus left alone in the ward.Serenity sat stiffly in the chair with her head hanging low. She had no idea what he wanted to do to her. If he wanted to make life more miserable for her because he thought she was not miserable enough, why did he rescue her on New Year's Eve?If he had just left her to her fate, her life would become even more miserable, right?But no matter what he wanted to do to her, she was powerless to resist. After spending three years in prison, she knew the weight of fate and understood its cruelty, and knew how insignificant she was before it.To those people with pow

"If your plan is to lift me up high so that I would fall hard, you don't really have to do that. My life is already miserable enough. I'm just a sanitation worker. I don't have any money left. My family has kicked me out. Do you want me to kneel down in front of Mira Hall's grave to apologize? Or do you want to take my life in return...""That’s enough!" He violently interrupted her. She would rather believe that he did all this to get revenge for Mira Hall rather than because he liked spending time with her? "Listen to me. To me, Mira Hall is not worth going through all this trouble for. All you have to do is stay by my side."He looked down at her hands that he was holding. He had been rubbing them for a while, but they were still cold for some reason.He knew that he lost his temper just now. It felt like she could always stir his emotions easily, making him feel scared, making him feel angry.The closer he got to her, the more control she had over his emotions, but he could not

"So what? If I want to, I can make her as famous as any socialite in the city!" Jackson retorted."Don't forget how your father died!" Master Zack said through gritted teeth.Jackson's eyes dimmed. "I haven't forgotten. Even if I were to be with her, it doesn't mean I would give my life to her. I'm not father. I wouldn't die for a woman, and I wouldn't be controlled by a woman!"He was always the one in control!Master Zack snorted. "Is that what you came here to say?""No," Jackson replied, "I came here to tell you to not lay a hand on her!"Master Zack's eyes narrowed. He said angrily, "What do you mean by that? Are you threatening your own grandfather? Is she more important to you than me?""Grandpa, I'm just telling you, not threatening you," Jackson chuckled, "I'm telling you, don't lay a hand on her. No matter what happens between me and her, don't lay a hand on her. Of course, you can do that, but I don't know how I would react if you do. Maybe you can try it?"Master Za

"Stop..." she shouted, but no matter how hard she struggled, it was in vain. Her face turned red. Goosebumps appeared on her skin under her ripped hospital gown from the sudden exposure to cold air. "Let me go! Let me go!"She was nervous and angry.Meanwhile, he was calm and collected. His slender fingers held her wrist down as he smiled and said, "Sis, you can shout as loud as you want. There are bodyguards, nurses and doctors on duty outside. They should all be able to hear you, but..."He paused and stared at her with passionate eyes before he continued, "I can guarantee that none of them will come in here to save you."Serenity froze. She knew that he was telling the truth. Even if she shouted until her throat was sore, no one would dare to come in here.Because this man... was Jackson Valor!She was silent while he pressed his mouth against her jaw... her neck... and finally lingered on her pretty collarbone, sprinkling little kisses on her."Stay by my side. Didn't you sa

If it was before, Joy would be overjoyed to get a chance to meet Jackson Valor face to face like this, but now, her heart was screaming in agony."There you are," Jackson remarked indifferently.Joy put on a meek and pitiful look and said carefully, “You wanted to see me, Mr. Valor? What can I do for you?”Serenity also seemed puzzled. She had no idea why Jackson brought Joy Shaw here.Jackson smiled and explained to Serenity, "Sis, you might not know this, but on the second day of the new year, Miss Shaw here met your friend Lisa Quest and gave her problems."Serenity was confused at first, but she soon figured it out. When she had the argument with Joy Shaw at the mall, Lisa spoke up for her, so Joy knew that Lisa was her friend. If Joy ran into Lisa, she would naturally vent her anger at Lisa.When Joy heard Jackson call Serenity "Sis", her eyes almost popped out.No way! Which woman in Solaria was worthy of being called that by Jackson Valor?But now, Jackson Valor was actu
