"Stop! It's no big deal. I don't need to go to the hospital," Serenity said hurriedly."Start the car," Jackson told the driver coldly.The driver started the car and headed for the hospital.Serenity knew that once Jackson had decided to do something, there was no stopping him.Therefore, she didn't try to persuade him anymore because she knew it was pointless. Since it was unavoidable, she could only accept it.After all, the biggest lessons she had learned over the years were enduring pain and accepting her circumstances.Her sudden silence surprised him.She sat quietly inside the car, her face slightly pale. Her eyebrows were slightly knitted as her eyes hung low. Her hands gripped her knees, the veins on the back of her hands slightly bulging as if she was in pain."Does it hurt?" he couldn't help but ask."It's nothing," she said flatly. Today's pain was nothing compared to the pain a few days ago when her knees flared up because she was standing for too long.Jackson

"K-Kiss you?" Her face instantly turned red and her voice stuttered a bit.He looked at her, not realizing how much desire was in his eyes. "Yes, that evening at the Skylit Bar's entrance.""…..." The Skylit Bar? Serenity started to sweat profusely. Getting drunk was a huge mistake!She didn't know she kissed him that evening! She couldn't remember! "If you don't believe me, ask Connor," he said. Connor? His secretary Connor Gunn? He saw it too?! Serenity's face turned even redder."You can also check the surveillance footage. Some of the surveillance cameras there should have caught it," he said.Serenity felt so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it.Surveillance footage... Did that count as getting caught red-handed?"No, it's okay," she said in embarrassment. If she had known she would act like that when she got drunk, she wouldn't have gone drinking.Serenity looked down, avoiding Jackson's gaze. Therefore, she didn't notice him looking at h

She wanted to forget him, and she would?Even though her voice was calm, there was an underlying determination.He suddenly cocked back his hand and punched the car!"Mr. Valor!" the driver exclaimed in surprise. He saw a twisted haze permeating the handsome face of the powerful man.Serenity went back home and collapsed on the bed, feeling completely worn out.She was exhausted, as if she had just been through a tough battle.She had made things very clear to Jackson. Jackson probably wouldn't look for her anymore, considering how proud he was.Surprisingly, he called her "Sis" again today. It reminded her of the past when she brought him back to that little rental house.Life back then was hard, but it was warm.Back then, she really felt like she had a family.Alas! In the end, she's alone again."Jack, I'll definitely forget you," Serenity whispered. She told herself to forget the man called Jack. In this world, there's only Jackson Valor now!He was a very powerful

"I will," Serenity replied. According to the information she gathered earlier, Peter's car was right behind Leon's car when the accident occurred.Essentially, Peter was a primary witness of the accident!He was definitely the one to talk to to learn about the specifics of the case. "Do you want to have dinner together?" Peter checked the time and said, "It's almost dinnertime." "Thanks, but I'm good," Serenity declined with a smile. She was obviously trying to keep her distance. She wasn't sure if Peter still had feelings for her, so she didn't want to send him the wrong signals."I have more information about the case that I want to discuss with you. I thought we could talk about it over dinner, if that works for you. It won't take up too much of your time," Peter said. Serenity hesitated for a moment, then said, "Well... okay. But we'll go Dutch, alright?" "No problem," Peter grinned. As long as she would have dinner with him, he was happy.Lisa went to visit Seren

Thus, Lisa told Terry about Peter Wall's situation. After that, she gossiped, "I think Peter definitely likes Serenity. He would always drive her home after discussing the case with her. I've asked around – he lives on the opposite side of town, nowhere near Serenity." Terry heaved a sigh of relief. Thank goodness Lisa had not fallen for another man.Even though Lisa said she liked him and wanted to go out with him, he was still a little wary of her because she had prior offense."Even if he likes Serenity, it ultimately depends on whether or not she's interested. I don't think Serenity is in the mood to fall in love again so soon," Terry remarked. Lisa instantly deflated like a balloon that was poked, "You're right. This is all Jackson Valor's fault. He really hurt Serenity. I should have told her not to go out with him when they started dating."Rather than advising Serenity against it, Lisa actually agreed to it! She felt like slapping herself because of that!"These things
