“Before you asked me for the money, why didn’t you ask for my help in tracking down your mother’s grave?” asked Jackson. Serenity was caught by surprise when she heard his question. At that moment, she realized how foolish she was. Even if she really handed fifty million to her father, was he really going to stop at that? Who’s to say he wouldn’t ask for more?As Jackson suggested, she really should have just sought his help in finding out where her mother’s grave was moved. The only explanation was that she was blinded by panic. She couldn’t believe she had managed to overlook such an obvious option. “Can you bring me there now?” she asked anxiously. At this point, the only time she could be at ease is after personally visiting her mother’s grave. “There’s no need to rush. You should rest first. If you’re feeling sleepy, you can take a nap first,” advised Jackson. But how could she sleep now? Serenity could only stare at him with helpless eyes. After roughly 15 minutes, h

“No, I’m fine with this place!” replied Serenity hastily. The grave plot Jackson had picked for her mother had its own private space compared to the other graves. Using an analogy with the different types of houses, the rest of the cemetery was like an apartment block, while her mother’s grave was a standalone bungalow. The private grave plot was neatly lined with a row of trees. There were also marble tables and chairs for visitors within the compound. “Very well,” said Jackson. “Then it’s time for you to lay down your mother’s ashes.” Serenity nodded before she knelt down and placed the urn inside a hole specially dug to contain the urn. Then, the workers covered the hole with cement, thus sealing the grave. One of them passed a contract over to her. It contained a fifty-year lease over the grave plot. She was shocked when she saw the price of the lease. It was so expensive that she probably wouldn’t be able to afford the lease even prior to the incident. “All expenses ha

Serenity noticed that whenever Jackson glanced at her, there would always be a hint of fascination in his gaze as if they had already known each other for years. However, she also noticed that he would quickly revert to his usual self, who acted as if he desperately wanted to leave her.Something seemed to have changed recently, as she noticed the struggle in his eyes. At that moment, Serenity had no idea what was the appropriate response. Under his intense gaze, her face grew bright red. “Why are you looking away? I want you to look at me, sis!” said Jackson as he moved closer to her. As if his voice contained a magical spell, her gaze unwittingly returned to his face. When she looked at him, she was met with a gentle gaze, from which she sensed longing and attachment. His hair was slicked back, which left his forehead exposed. In her mind, the image of him right now kept overlapping with “Jack” from before. Back then, Jack would also look at her in the same way. “Perhaps,

Perhaps Serenity was a little impulsive when she said that last night. But… it was the truth. It seems that at some point, she had fallen for this man named Jackson Valor. Toward him, she felt both fear and admiration. Although they were contradicting feelings, they still existed together. “That means you wish to be with me, yes?” asked Jackson. “Huh?” His question caught her by surprise. Suddenly, she remembered how he pulled her into his arms after she confessed her feelings for him. “Then what do I have to do to make you like me only, and not any other man?” When Serenity heard what he said, she blurted out in response, “You mean… like a boyfriend?” Jackson murmured in reply, “Boyfriend, huh? Do you wish to date me?” Date me? Her mind went blank when she heard those words. Perhaps she had never imagined the two of them in such a relationship. The corners of Jackson’s mouth were upturned. “Then we’ll do just that. How do you feel about us dating?” he asked. “Sure,”

Perhaps there was more to the story than a simple car accident. Lucas pondered in silence and laughed to himself. The only fatality from the car accident was Mira Hall, Jackson’s fiancee. Yet, Serenity and Jackson were dating today. If it really were a plot to remove Mira from the picture, then Jackson would have investigated the matter. Why was he being so worked up about it?It’s just that…“When did Serenity start working at your shop?” asked Lucas out of the blue.“Huh?” Even Clara was surprised by his question. After a moment, she answered, “I guess about half a month ago? She’s helping us with order deliveries.” “How is she as a worker?” inquired Lucas. “She’s pretty good. Serenity’s a diligent worker and rarely messes up our orders. I’ve never heard her complain about being tired…” As Clara spoke about Serenity, Lucas propped up his face and wore an intrigued expression. His lips were curled into a smile, and there was a renewed gentle look on his face compared to bef
