Chapter 1052
Serenity turned to leave after her last statement. She was a little aggressive with what she had said toward the end and wondered if it would work on Wilson.Based on Serenity's research, Wilson had always been high-minded. She hoped what she said would work on a prideful man like him. Otherwise, she would have to ask Terry to get Clara a new job. After Serenity had left, Wilson turned to Sandra. "Why did you do that?"Sandra's face paled. Chewing her lips slightly, Sandra stammered as she tried to explain herself. "I'm just… I'm just trying to help you. You're so desperate to win custody. I-If Clara doesn't have enough income, the court… There's no way the court will award custody to Clara."Wilson stared down at Sandra, his lips pursed tightly.Sandra felt a little weak. It was as if Wilson had seen through her real motives. Sandra had not harassed Clara for the custody. The real reason she had sent someone to cause trouble was just to vent out the anger in her heart.After al

And Terry's willingness to accompany Lisa was a sign of tolerance and love for her.Serenity was happy for her friend. Lisa was very blessed to have such a tolerant boyfriend. She hoped Lisa's happiness would last for a long time to come.Serenity waited until Lisa was done talking to the celebrity and approached her. "I came to tell you that I'm leaving.""You're leaving already? Why don't you stay longer? It's a rare chance to meet the celebrities," Lisa gushed."You can go ahead. Well, you know. Uh, I'm not really interested in celebrities," Serenity rejected.Lisa thought about it and agreed. She did not hold her friend back and said, "Have you met Sandra and Wilson?""Yeah. I've talked to them. We'll see if Clara has any more trouble," Serenity said. She came closer, leaning toward her friend's ear as she whispered, "I know y
Chapter 1054
Serenity caught her breath. After a short silence, she stammered, "I don't…" As she parted her lips to speak, his finger touched her lips.Lucas pressed his finger against her lips, asking her to stop speaking with a pleading look in his eyes. "Please don't say it. Just today. Please don't say it, not in this dress."Serenity shuddered at his request and did not finish the rest of her sentence."Okay, let's go. It's hard for you to get a taxi here with you dressed like this," Lucas said."Thanks," Serenity whispered and headed toward the exit with Lucas.Serenity and Lucas approached the exit and noticed the security guards gathering not far away. They were talking about something, some communicating with walkie-talkies and talking nervously. It looked like something had happened.Lucas stepped forward with a frown. "What's going on?"A security guard replied, "S-Someone suddenly cleared out the area. Their men surrounded us."The expression on Lucas' face turned somber. The Go
Chapter 1055
Serenity could not explain her feelings, but she sensed danger from Jackson's gaze. Instinctively, she wanted to run away! She wanted to run far away, to a place out of his sight! While Serenity was drowning in fear, a hand gripped hers. "Scared?" The voice snapped her back to her senses. It was Lucas who was holding her hand. She thought their hands were trembling slightly, but no! Only her hands were shaking.'Am I afraid?' Serenity wondered if she was afraid of Jackson."Don't be afraid. I'll handle this," Lucas' voice rang in her ears.Serenity took a deep breath, and the trembling in her hands gradually stopped. She watched as Jackson strode steadily toward her. His eyes stayed on her the whole time, never leaving. The way he kept his gaze locked on her seemed to suggest that he was coming for her! 'No way!'Serenity thought she must be overthinking. Jackson did not have to put up such a show to find her. Besides, she had made it very clear with Jackson the last time. Ther

Jackson's actions drew sharp gasps from the people around them, but no one dared to step forward or intervene. After all, Jackson and Lucas were very powerful men in Solaria. They would be committing suicide by getting in their way."Yeah. So what?" Jackson said coldly.Serenity glared at Jackson and then carefully held Lucas' broken hand. "How are you? Does it hurt? Are you okay? Is there a doctor here?" Serenity asked, knowing that appropriate medical and first-aid provisions would usually be available for events like this."I'm fine. It's just a fracture," Lucas said. He had not experienced pain after a fracture for years. This acute pain was precisely how he realized what Serenity must have felt when all her fingers had been broken.How much pain would she have felt then? Lucas wondered if her pain was ten or a hundred times what he was going through now!Serenity's face was full of guilt. She knew Lucas had gotten into this mess because of her."It's not okay! We have to tre

Lucas watched as the car drove away, his handsome face colored with anxiety and fury.Did Jackson take this action to send a message that he could take anyone away at will?Meanwhile, inside the car, Serenity propped herself up in a state of disarray after she had gotten thrown into the back seat. "Jackson, what do you want?!"The man sitting beside her laughed coldly. "What do I want?" His head whipped around, pinning her with those dark yet beautiful eyes. Serenity trembled. When she saw the light in his eyes dance like ice and fire, she knew she was in serious danger. The next moment, Jackson suddenly leaned over, putting his hands on either side of her and trapping her in his arms.At the same time, a privacy divider suddenly rose between the back seat and front seat, separating the driver from the rear passenger compartment. The backseat that was larger than a normal car then turned into a separate space. There was a flash of panic in Serenity's eyes as Jackson moved over

Serenity was panting heavily when Jackson finally broke the kiss. Her hair was in a mess, her cheeks a warm red. Those bright eyes glared at him, no longer gentle and calm. Her eyes were filled with anger, but he was fascinated at how she finally had him in her eyes again.Jackson moved his hands, gently stroking her hair. He put his lips to her ear, and his voice echoed a graveled rasp, "Don't even think about falling in love with Lucas…"Yes. Jackson would never allow her to fall in love with Lucas. He wanted to be the only one she would love. Only him! His words sent a little shiver down her spine. "Who I fall in love with is my…" But before she could finish her words, his lips captured hers again, devouring her voice.***Jackson's outrageous actions had caused a huge commotion at the charity event. After all, he had caused a big scene outside.Lisa was dumbfounded when she learned about what had happened. Did Jackson clear out the area and confront Lucas? Jackson Valor?! Wh
Chapter 1059
Lynette tried her best to appear more concerned and worried about Lucas. "Lucas, why don't you go to the hospital to get your hand treated? Does it hurt? I'm so worried.""Have you ever thought of Serenity?" Lucas said abruptly."Huh?" Lynette choked, confused for a moment."Did you know? Serenity's hands were injured before, far worse than mine is now. Did you ever worry about her hand? You keep saying you're close with her, but did you ever visit her in prison?" Lucas asked, staring at the pretentious woman standing in front of him.When Lucas looked into Serenity's information, he naturally learned about Serenity's time in prison. Lisa was the only friend who often visited her. Serenity's grandmother could not come to Solaria for health reasons, but she had called several times. No one else cared about Serenity when she was in prison. When Lucas thought about Serenity's time in prison, isolated and betrayed by the people around her, he felt an inexplicable but aching pain in h
