Aria broke out in cold sweat. 'Is he really... Could he be...'"What? Jackson? Do you two know each other?" Caleb was surprised. As far as he knew, Aria was just a C-lister. Logically speaking, Jackson and Aria had nothing to do with each other."Yeah. We met once," Jackson said indifferently.Aria's eyes widened, and her heart began to pound in terror. It was indeed him—the man who had been living with Serenity! When they visited Serenity, her family suspected he was someone Serenity knew in prison.Who would have thought?! He was Jackson Valor, the most powerful man in Solaria!Aria felt dizzy. What was going on? Why was Serenity living with Jackson in such a shabby rental place?!Lucas looked at Jackson and Aria in astonishment. He asked, "Aria, why didn't you say you knew Jackson before?"Aria shuddered and let out a dry laugh. "I-I didn't know who he was at that time," she said and hurriedly smiled apologetically at Jackson, "Mr. Valor, what happened before was a misunderst

Serenity had gotten used to rude people like this. Many people looked down on sanitation workers. Sometimes, people would accidentally bump into the sanitation workers and push the blame on them anyway even if it was obviously not the sanitation worker's fault."Okay, Xyla. It's just a small matter," Serenity said. Xyla and Serenity continued working and swept the floor. When Serenity changed out of her uniform, she suddenly found a small silver bracelet in the pocket of her uniform.Serenity wondered when this bracelet had fallen into her pocket. It was a night shift, and no one was in the Sanitation Office. So, she put the bracelet away and planned to register the bracelet as lost and found the next day.When Serenity got back home, it was dark and silent.The room was usually bright whenever she came back from her night shift as Jack would wait for her at home. However, after that incident... Serenity turned on the light and smiled bitterly at the coldness of the room.That nig

'Wait a minute...' Serenity jolted and looked at the man in surprise. 'H-how?' How did he know the bracelet was with her?Serenity had found the bracelet in her pocket when she had gotten off work at night. However, this man knew the bracelet was with her. He knew where she lived and had broken in silently. He had managed to do all that—who was he?"You found my bracelet. Say, what kind of reward do you want? I can give you anything reasonable," Lucas lowered his head, looking down at Serenity.Lucas could have left after retrieving the bracelet. However, he decided to stay after seeing Serenity's sleeping face.Lucas thought that maybe he wanted to see what she looked like when she was awake.She soon opened her eyes, revealing her mesmerizing dark eyes. Her naturally-curled eyelashes made her eyes even more charming.Her eyes were wide open, but the light in her eyes was something else and did not match her age. She seemed to have gone through many hardships in life. She lost t

The scar on her palm might fade in a few days, just like her story with Jackson. After all, everything would fade with time as if nothing had happened.Serenity softly clenched her hand into a fist and left the Sanitation Office.Before she had gone far, a silver-gray Porsche stopped her. A man then stepped out of the car. The girls in the Sanitation Office had just so happened to be talking about him earlier—Lucas Gomez."What do you want?" Serenity asked."I would like to treat you to a meal and express my thanks," Lucas said, opening the passenger seat door and inviting Serenity into the car."I didn't help in finding your bracelet. You don't have to do anything to express your thanks," Serenity said, moving her feet and trying to walk away.Just as Serenity took a step away, Lucas raised his hand and blocked her way as he fixed his eyes on her with a gaze she could not understand."I'm not used to owing favors, so I must treat you to a meal," Lucas said in an unquestionable

Slap!A loud slap sounded.It was so sudden that Serenity could not react in time. She did not realize what had happened until she felt a burning sensation on her face."You must be that woman!" The person who had slapped her cursed bitterly, "I didn't expect you to let Lucas take you to dinner at such a place. Aren't you just a C-lister? Do you really think you can secure your position as his girlfriend?! I'm telling you, he'll dump you very soon!"Serenity looked up. Surprisingly, she recognized the woman who had slapped her!It was none other than Lyra Ross. Lyra was originally a B-lister and often played supporting roles. After dating Lucas, Lucas had made her famous.There was speculation that Lyra would be Lucas's last girlfriend. After all, Lyra was the one who had stayed with Lucas the longest. No one expected Lucas to break up with Lyra. In the end, Lyra had merely become just another ex-girlfriend of his."You’ve got the wrong person!" Serenity said."I didn't get the
