"Almost missed the bus," a soft voice said behind Serenity.She turned around and was taken aback to find Lucas standing behind her. "Why did you board the bus?" she asked."I still wanted to take you home. Since you declined my offer to give you a ride, I decided to keep you company on the bus instead," he explained.Serenity never expected that Lucas would take the bus with her.The driver said, "Please buy a ticket."Lucas rummaged around in his pockets and found a hundred-dollar bill. It was the only "loose change" he had."Wait!" Serenity quickly stopped Lucas from putting the note into the ticket machine. "You're gonna buy a ticket with a hundred-dollar bill?"Lucas shrugged, "It's all I have."Serenity pursed her lips, then said, "Never mind, I'll pay for you. Put your money away." She swiped her monthly pass one more time, then walked to the middle section of the bus.It wasn't rush hour, but although the bus wasn't packed, all the seats were taken.Serenity found a g

"Are you awake?" She heard Lucas ask.Serenity looked up and blushed a little. She responded vaguely before quickly exiting the bus.Lucas followed her off the bus.Along the way back to her apartment, no matter how slow or fast she walked, Lucas would keep pace with her and stay next to her."Okay, I'll head back now," he said when they arrived, obviously having no intention of going in. Before leaving, he remembered something, so he turned around and said, "By the way, even if the police can't find anything, I'll keep investigating. I don't care who the culprit actually wanted to harm, I'll find them and make sure they pay for their crime."Serenity asked Lucas, "You believe what Lynette said? That she was the intended victim and I got dragged into it by accident?" Lucas replied, "No, I'm not taking her word for it. I'll find out what really happened." Serenity then asked, "If you discover that Lynette really is the culprit, will you turn her over to the police and let the l

Lynette's eyes lit up. "You have a plan?""If I didn't, I wouldn't be here. You want to be Mrs. Gomez, don't you? Unfortunately, the woman Lucas Gomez loves is Serenity, so you have no chance," Aria said.Lynette was no fool. She immediately asked, "What's in it for you?""Money. I just want money. Besides, I have a grudge to settle with Serenity," answered Aria. If not for Serenity, she and her parents would not be in their current predicament.Her parents had to find work in another city, while she stayed in Solaria doing odd jobs. She couldn't even get a job as a janitor; she was only a temporary stand-in for people on sick leaves.But as luck would have it, she ran into Lynette and was "hired" by her.Lynette frowned. She had just been blackmailed by Jonas Zeller, and now Aria Lewis wanted to blackmail her too?"Don't tell me you're not even willing to make a little sacrifice to gain the final victory?" Aria questioned with a smirk. "I'll help you get rid of Serenity, then I

Since that was the case, it's better to strike back hard and make them afraid!Liliana's face turned pale. Serenity continued, "Like you said, I managed to land Lucas Gomez. Even if I can't become Lucas' wife, I can still ask him to deal with you."Liliana gnashed her teeth, unable to retort. If Serenity asked Lucas Gomez to deal with her, he would certainly do it.With the way Lucas Gomez was treating Serenity, she probably wouldn't even need to ask. She just had to let Lucas Gomez listen to the recording and he would act of his own accord.The thought made Liliana tremble. She had already hit rock bottom. If Lucas Gomez decided to mess with her, she would probably have to leave Solaria.Serenity didn't bother with Liliana anymore. Carrying the brewed coffee, she walked out of the pantry and went back to her desk.A message from Lisa popped up on her WhatsApp. "Are you really dating Lucas Gomez?"Serenity replied with "? ? ?".Lucas Gomez again? Why did it seem like everyone w

The manager was worried that someone might die, so he immediately contacted Caleb. After all, Caleb's family owned the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion behind the scenes and he was also Jackson Valor's friend.Therefore, Caleb took Serenity with him to put out the fire.In Caleb's opinion, Jackson's abnormal behavior these days was most likely due to Serenity. Specifically, when dealing with women who tried to seduce him, Jackson's attitude was a lot different than before.He was cruel and unpredictable. He would ignore them as they put on their act in front of him, but if a minor action of theirs infuriated him, they would suffer severe consequences.Caleb worried that his family's Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion would soon run out of women."Stop the car!" yelled Serenity, "If you don't, I'm gonna call the cops!"Caleb replied, "Go ahead. If your phone's dead, you can even call the cops with my phone. Feel free to call the cops as many times as you want," said Lucas as he tossed his pho
