Serenity Lewis was the driver who had caused Mira Hall's death back then, yet she was now with Jackson Valor! These were the two people most unlikely to end up together, yet that was exactly what had happened right now. Who would have thought?!Thud!Caleb heard the sound of something heavy crashing to the floor. He turned around and saw Julia sitting on the floor after falling when her legs had failed her. He looked at her with sympathy in his eyes. It seemed that the Wayne family would be in big trouble now, and Julia would most likely be banned from this social circle from now on.After all, Jackson had never been a generous and forgiving man.Even Zandra Lane and Yuna Keller were now overcome with a tide of fear, especially Zandra. No matter how hard it was for her to accept what had just happened, she still could not suppress the fear that was showing in her eyes.Judging by the way Jackson had reacted just now, it was clear that he already knew everything about Serenity's pa

Jackson felt a pang of agony, almost as if someone had just stabbed him in the heart."But it’s a pity that this dress got torn," Serenity said in a regretful tone. "I only got to wear it once."It really was too bad that there was such a huge gaping hole in such an exquisite dress. Even if she wanted it mended, she had no doubt that it would cost a lot of money and require a lot of specialized skills."I'll just buy you a new one," replied Jackson. "The most important thing is that you're not hurt."Serenity smiled and shook her head, telling him, "But I'm not hurt at all! I'm not as fragile as you think I am, you know."But her smile only made him feel more ill at ease. She was right. Although she might appear thin and weak, she had always been tenaciously fighting to survive. After spending a lot of time with her, he now understood more than anyone else in the world how strong she was. And yet, that was precisely why he was filled with even more guilt and regret. It was all b

Mr. Wayne's expression turned severe, but Julia still went on to whine petulantly, "This must be Serenity Lewis's doing! She's showing off her power! What a wicked woman! Just because Jackson Valor is interested in her now doesn't mean that she can put on airs like that..."But Mr. Wayne's unease only grew stronger and stronger. Perhaps this matter might not resolve quite so easily as he thought."Dad," said Julia with a pout, "since they say they're too busy right now, let's just go home."But just as soon as she had finished her sentence, Mr. Wayne's phone rang. He answered it and shortly after, all the color was drained from his face, and he broke out in cold sweat.Julia was puzzled when she saw how crestfallen her father seemed after hanging up the phone, so she asked him, "What's wrong, Dad?"As a reply, her father raised his hand and slapped her hard on the face."This is all your fault!" he yelled. "Because of you, our whole family is done for!"The tax evasion scandal c

Serenity nodded and fell silent. She knew Clara, being a single mother, was someone with a past. However, she never expected it would turn out to be this. A woman imprisoned by the father of her own child. Few people could bear that level of humiliation. Despite what had happened, Clara still managed to open a small restaurant while raising Yanny. “What’s the matter? Are you feeling sorry for Clara?” asked Jackson.“I feel like life has been terribly unfair to her,” murmured Serenity in response. Jackson observed the worried expression on her face. Was she worried about Clara? Or was something else bothering her mind?In the past, she only had to worry about her grandmother, Lisa. Now, it seemed that more and more people were occupying her mind. A feeling of jealousy surged in his heart. Jackson was well aware that Serenity’s worries had nothing to do with romantic love, but the feeling of jealousy still plagued him. Perhaps he cared too much about her emotions. Instead of

“I’m sorry to say that Mr. Gomez isn’t interested in seeing anyone today. By ‘anyone’, I think he meant you as well, Ms. Lewis. You may try calling him. If he’s willing to see you, I will let you in,” The servant said courteously. The politeness in his tone was betrayed by the contemptuous look in his eyes. While serving their family, he had come across plenty of women like Aria. Lucas had a string of ex-girlfriends who had tried desperately to get him to fall in love with them, but none were successful. It appeared that Aria had the same intention as those girls, but like them, he remained unmoved. If she couldn’t get him to fall for her, it was only a matter of time before she lost the glamor of being Lucas’ girlfriend. She gritted her teeth as she glared back at the servant. If Lucas had agreed to meet her, she wouldn’t have come to him in the first place.At the villa, Lucas was in his art studio sketching the grown-up portrait of the little girl from his memories. The mom
