When Serenity had been in prison, she had been all alone. Lisa had visited her from time to time, encouraged her, and worked hard for her affairs. Otherwise, she might not have gotten out of prison alive. It was Lisa who had supported her during those three difficult years.'Lifesaver?' Thoughts flickered in Jackson's eyes. Lisa seemed to hold an unusual place in Serenity's heart. "But isn't it ridiculous to regard someone as a lifesaver? If your lifesaver abandons you one day, wouldn't that give you more despair?""She won't," Serenity spoke with unparalleled certainty and absolute trust in her eyes.Somehow, Jackson had an uncomfortable feeling because of Serenity's confidence. It seemed as though he did not want someone else to be worthy of her trust. It was as if she could give everything to that other person.***Soon, Serenity had an increase in workload. As the higher authorities were coming to inspect the Sanitation Office over the next few days, some overtime was required

It felt like a vivid and painful slap in Amanda's face.She was so furious that she turned around and quickly left the place in embarrassment with Janice following close behind.Serenity felt like she had just watched a drama unfold before her eyes. As soon as they exited the mall, they had witnessed someone smashing a car, which turned out to be Amanda's."What happened? Did she offend someone and that was their revenge?" Serenity wondered."Who knows?" Jackson replied, his eyes flickering slightly as he pursed his lips. "Anyway, it's none of our business," Serenity said as she grabbed Jackson's arm and headed toward the bus stop.Suddenly, Jackson stopped abruptly. Serenity turned to look at him only to find that he had turned pale, and there was a shocked look on his face.He was also staring unblinkingly at the bus stop."What's wrong?" Serenity asked."It's... nothing," Jackson replied as his expression gradually returned to normal.That had been a mistake, right? He th

Serenity couldn't help but tense when she heard those names. The mention of them itself was enough to give her the feeling of falling into a nightmare!Naturally, she also knew about the six-carat diamond ring. After all, she had seen it in the news. Even if she tried to avoid seeing anything related to them, she would always come across something when she opened her phone and browsed the internet.Back then, when she and Zeke had browsed through a jewelry store, she had also seen that pink diamond in its raw form. At that time, he had told her, "Serenity, if you like it, I'll buy it and make it into our wedding rings when we get married."But in the end, Zeke wasn't hers, and even that diamond ring didn't belong to her."Serenity, um... are you heading back now?" A clear and slightly shy male voice drifted into Serenity's ears from nearby.She looked up to see a man in his early thirties with short hair standing nearby. He was wearing the sanitation worker's uniform, and his face

Jenny's face was filled with disbelief. Jackson... wanted to see Serenity?As a member of the Hall family, Jenny naturally understood that Jackson might not have been particularly interested in her sister. Choosing her sister as his fiancee was simply because she was suitable to become the mistress of the Valor family.At Mira's funeral, Jackson had only had indifference on his face, as if the life of Jenny's sister was insignificant to him. Sometimes, she couldn't help but wonder what could actually stir the man's emotions...And now, she saw it.There were lines of faint anger on his beautiful face, something she had never witnessed before.And it was because of... Serenity?! The woman who was as insignificant as an ant?!She turned to look at Zeke and saw the same disbelief reflected in his eyes. Connor, who was standing beside Jackson, quickly responded, "Understood, Mr. Valor."Was Jackson angry?Connor shivered slightly at the thought. Anyone who had witnessed Jackson

Serenity glanced at the back of her right hand, which Amanda had stepped on earlier today."I just bumped into something while sweeping the floor today. It's nothing serious," she causally replied, not wanting Jackson to worry."Really?" Jackson asked as he looked into Serenity's eyes intently. "Sis, if someone bullied you, just let me know. I'll stand up for you."He would make those people pay and ensure that no one would dare mess with her in the future.Serenity's heart raced for a moment. It felt as if Jackson knew everything."I'll protect myself," she said."But what if you can't?" Jackson argued.'If it really came to that, it’s not like telling Jack would make any difference.'However, Serenity didn't voice these thoughts out loud, fearing it would hurt the man's pride."Sis... don't you like me protecting you?" Jackson posed another question, his deep inky eyes fixed on her.Serenity bit her lips and thought for a moment."Then, when the day comes and you find your
