All along, Connor had felt that Serenity was not good enough for Mr. Valor. Still, he admired her for sacrificing her life to save Mr. Valor.Loving someone was not hard, but how many people would sacrifice their lives for their loved ones?"Mrs. Valor loved you, Mr. Valor! She wanted you to live," Connor said.Jackson trembled, his voice hoarse from crying. "She loves me… Yeah, she loves me! She has always loved me, but why didn't I believe it before?!"Serenity said she was willing to forgive him, not for the sake of their children. Why did he not believe her then? He always thought she loved him too little and wanted more from her. In the end, she had given her life to show him how much she loved him!"Mr. Valor! Mrs. Valor wants you to live. She sacrificed her life because of her love for you. Don't let her down."Connor was afraid that Mr. Valor would be in so much despair that he would not be able to think straight. It was silent for a minute, and then a mocking voice rang

Connor gently pushed the door open and stepped into the room. The most powerful man in Solaria had become a mess. Jackson was right in the middle of the room, curled up on the ground and clutching Serenity's clothes in his arms. Photos of Serenity from childhood to adulthood were spread across the floor in disarray. Serenity smiled sweetly in all the photos, precisely why it was so heartbreaking."Mr. Valor," Connor said softly, "The company needs you to take charge as a leader again. Some projects that are about to be launched require your approval as well. If you continue like this—""Still no news of Serenity?" Jackson interrupted Connor, his voice hoarse. Jackson did not open his eyes. His eyes remained fluttered closed, and he continued to surround himself with her scent, embracing the person he loved most. He did not want to wake up from this fantasy, because if he did, it would be endless pain."No…" Connor responded. It had been more than forty days since the crash. The

Connor's heart sank. That urn? Could it be? Connor did not dare to think further. He could only turn his head and nervously look at Jackson.Jackson froze, his eyes red and his penetrating gaze staring motionlessly at the urn in Walter's hand."Serenity. Where is she?" After a long silence, Jackson finally managed to say something."She's right here," Walter answered, but Jackson acted like he never heard the answer.Jackson asked again, his voice sharp this time, "Where is she?!"Walter chuckled. "Mr. Valor, did you think there was any chance of her surviving after falling into the sea? She was pregnant. She was lucky enough to save a child." His perfectly normal answer was enough to trigger Jackson. Jackson almost lunged at Walter, but Walter held the urn higher and stopped him. "If you don't mind spilling her ashes on the ground, you can swing your fist down."Jackson's fists stopped. Trembling, he snatched the urn from Walter and hugged it tight.Ashes? Why ashes?! When Ja

Jackson was smiling and crying, mourning in pain and sorrow. Lucas could not say anything after seeing Jackson in such a state. When he tried to speak, the words just got stuck in his throat.Not long after that, Lucas left Solaria with the task of growing the Gomez Group's overseas businesses. It was not a task that required him to do it himself, but he did not want to stay in Solaria anymore. The memories he had in Solaria made him feel suffocated and miserable.Lucas constantly thought about his regrets. If he had not ignored Serenity out of jealousy, which pushed her to Jackson for help, maybe none of this would have happened. He was partially the reason Serenity had gotten back with Jackson.Lucas thought maybe he should have been reckless for once. Take Serenity away at all costs, even if it might be against her will, even if she still loved Jackson. Serenity might hate him, but at least she would still be alive.Lucas was still lost in his thoughts when a familiar figure wal

"Jackson..." Lucas tried to say something, but Caleb quickly rushed over and stopped him."Jackson, Lucas is drunk and talking nonsense. Don't mind him," Caleb told Jackson and tried to drag Lucas out of trouble.Lucas refused to leave. Not just yet. He told Caleb, "Let go. I have to talk to him. There's something I need to know.""Hey! It's rare for you to be back. Why worry about this? Why not let me take you to some new exciting places in Solaria instead?" Caleb quickly suggested.Jackson suddenly spoke. "Caleb, just let him go. Since he insists, let him ask me."'Oh, dear God! Please don't get into a fight here!' Caleb sighed in his heart and had no choice but to let go of Lucas.Lucas stared at Jackson, who had a constant half-smile on his face. Somehow, he felt that something was strange about him. Perhaps five years was enough to make someone feel like a stranger again. Lucas feared meeting Jackson and had been deliberately avoiding meeting Jackson. Somehow, meeting Jackso
