Serenity fastened the seat belt. She watched in disbelief as Jackson drove the car out of the Valor Residence. Earlier, the person on the phone had informed Jackson of the place where Terry White had headed after taking Lisa away. Jackson was clearly driving in that direction.Was Jackson... Was he taking her there?Jackson's face was livid. His tightly pursed lips and darkened eyes clearly showed his displeasure.Serenity kept staring, wanting to say something, but then she stopped and said nothing. She feared making him angrier, which would make things worst.At the moment, finding Lisa and figuring out what was going on was the top priority.Serenity figured that she could wait until Jackson was less angry and then thank him. When the car arrived at Crescent Bay, the security guards stopped them."Send Terry White a message. Tell him Jackson Valor wants to see him. Ask him if he'll come or not." Jackson was straight to the point.The security guards were clearly astonished

Lisa felt guilty as she recalled that night again.Lisa blamed it on her excitement that night. She had been in high spirits and had been unable to control her drinking. She thought having some fruit wine would be fine, but she had ended up so drunk and turned everything into a mess. Sure enough, her drunkenness soon led to mistakes.Unfortunately, Lisa had woken up and remembered everything she had done while drunk. She remembered how she had forced herself on Terry and told him countless sweet words.Lisa even recalled the sweet words afterward. She found them very similar to the sweet words men would say to women in TV shows. Some of the lines she had said were taken from the TV series she had been watching. In conclusion, too many romantic shows were simply unhealthy. She had ended up saying all sorts of sweet words she learned by watching too many shows while drunk.Surprisingly, lady luck had been smiling upon her, and the sweet words worked! She had thought a handsome man li

"You must be Serenity Lewis." Terry's statement was not a question but an affirmation. When Terry happened to see Lisa on the street that day, he had begun to investigate everything about her.Serenity's information was naturally among the information he found.Serenity Lewis, Lisa's best friend. Three years ago, Lisa had suddenly returned home to help Serenity fight the lawsuit. She had taken the earliest flight back and spared no effort to help Serenity find a lawyer and gather evidence.In other words, Serenity was the reason why Lisa had left him so suddenly and quickly.Terry felt somewhat uncomfortable at that thought.If Serenity was a man, Terry would have treated her as a love rival."Yes. That's me." Serenity raised her chin."You shouldn't meddle in our affairs. It's best to leave us alone. I never show mercy to women," Terry warned icily.Lisa got anxious. "Terry! Don't drag my friend into our business!"Terry felt the sting of her reaction seeing Lisa getting an

Could someone like Jackson really ever find himself in danger? If that happened, the threat would be beyond Serenity's means. Whether she got on her knees to beg would not matter.She could get on her knees and beg until she broke her legs, but it would not benefit a man like him.The light in his eyes dimmed at her silence. He was silent as he restarted the engine and drove away.At this moment, Serenity found the stinging silence in the car unusually oppressive.***Serenity went to see Lisa the next day. The two met up and got a table in a restaurant near Lisa's house.Seeing Lisa's swollen eyes, Serenity reckoned Lisa had probably not slept well last night."What happened after you got home yesterday?" Serenity asked."Don't even talk about it. My parents were starting to prepare a ransom amount. They almost punished me when they saw me back," Lisa grumbled.Serenity looked puzzled. "What? You didn't tell them about Terry?""Uh... I told them a friend I hadn't seen in a w

"Get in." Terry ordered.Lisa had a reluctant look upon hearing his order. Although her phone was important, her freedom was worth way more! She did not want to be locked in his room for hours again like yesterday.Fortunately, Jackson and Serenity had come to take her away yesterday. If they had not, she had no idea when she would have been able to leave."No need. I'm thinking of getting a new phone, so I don't need the old one," Lisa rejected him awkwardly."So you don't need the photos and various social accounts on your phone? Right. You have some of your company's confidential information on the phone too." Terry said flatly, "But if you really don't want it, that's fine."'That's just... A threat!' Lisa thought and gritted her teeth. 'But the thing is, my phone has a password! He... Did he unlock my phone? Did he see the photos and information on the phone?!' 'What about... My various social accounts? Did he decrypt them too?!'Lisa huffed in anger upon realizing what wa
