What had just happened there? That was the first time Caleb had ever seen Lucas so anxious over a woman! He had even... rushed out the door just like that!Just what kind of woman was Serenity?! He had assumed that even though there might be a clash between Jackson and Lucas over a woman, it was nothing but a minor clash that would be resolved easily over time. But now... A wave of concern surged inside Caleb's heart. If these two men were to truly fight with each other over a woman... only heavens knew what kind of violent chaos Solaria would be thrown into!But this could not be right! Had Lucas's mind not been set on the bracelet owner alone?Unless... At this point, Caleb dared not continue this train of thought, because if his conjectures were true, then the consequences that would surely come were nothing less than nightmarish!***Lucas drove toward the tiny restaurant at full speed. Marry? Was Serenity really going to marry Jackson?!Especially now that he had not fig

"You've got the wrong person, Mr. Gomez. Besides, even if you were right, nothing would change anyway, because the man I love is Jackson, and he's the one I want to marry. I don't have any such feelings for you."Her words froze all the blood in his body in an instant, making his whole body extremely stiff.Serenity took this opportunity to withdraw her hand from his grip, and she told him, "I hope you won't come to me for this matter again because whether or not I am the person you're looking for, nothing will change."After speaking, she turned to Clara and said, "I'll be leaving now, Clare.""Okay," Clare responded.As Serenity walked out of the tiny restaurant, Lucas still stood there, stiff as a statue, staring blankly at his empty hand.The absence of another hand in his was almost too much for him to bear!Nothing would change whether or not she was the person he was looking for?How could that be? How could it end up like this?! Why?!Lucas slowly balled up his fist an

"Okay," she replied, gently closing her eyes to savor the gentle massaging of his fingers."Still..." she murmured. "It looked like Lucas really cared about that woman, Jack."In the past, she used to think that Lucas was a playboy, but his persistence in his search for the woman in his memories truly surprised her. It sounded like the woman he was looking for was a little girl he had met when he was a boy himself. In that case, how long must he have been searching for her? Ten years? Twenty years?The kind of determination it took for someone to keep looking for a person was really rare to see. "He must've been looking for her for a long time," Serenity commented. "Do you think he'll find her one day?""What do you think?" he threw the question back at her. "Do you want him to find that person?""I hope he will," she responded. "That way, he'd never mistake me for that person again."With her eyes closed, she did not see Jackson's eyes, which were hazy with deep thoughts at th

What was once an insurmountable task was now made possible thanks to him. “Didn’t you always look forward to overturning your case? Why have you gone quiet all of a sudden?” asked Jackson. “The evidence... can they really overturn my conviction? Can it... really reveal the truth?” murmured Serenity to herself. The truth... There was a near-imperceptible falter in Jackson’s gaze. “Yeah, there won’t be any problem with that. Have faith in me!” Just like that, tears came pouring out of her eyes. Amid her intermittent sobs, she said, “Thank you, Jack!” The sight of her in tears moved him. He quickly pulled out a napkin and dried her tears. “Come now, stop crying. I gathered all this evidence to help you overturn your conviction, not to see you cry.” Seeing her in tears made his heart ache. However, hearing him say those words only made her tear up even more. It was as if the pain and injustice she had endured over the past few years had finally come pouring out of her heart

Serenity finished washing her hands and was drying them with a paper towel when she noticed a figure walk up to her from behind. The other person was just as surprised as she was. “Serenity? What are you doing here?!” Serenity never thought she would bump into Liliana here. Instead of the suit she used to wear, she was dressed more like a janitor. “What? Is there a problem with me being here?” snapped Serenity harshly. Ever since Liliana had assigned her case to the newcomers at the firm, the seed of hatred had been sowed deep in Serenity’s heart. Back then, she used to think Liliana was just pettier than her other colleagues, but her “cruelty” turned out to be far more than she had anticipated. Liliana glared angrily at Serenity. It was now her turn to be the laughingstock of the firm. From an attorney, she had been demoted to a janitor. All this had happened thanks to Serenity. Who would have expected Lucas to retaliate for her sake?On the second day, she was ordered
