"Mr. Valor is in the memorial hall. He's been in there for a few hours now," Mr. Knot said with concern. "Madam, what happened between you and Mr. Valor?"Serenity didn't know what to tell him and could only say, "I'll go talk to him!" She rushed to the memorial hall.Mr. Knot was about to tell her that Mr. Valor had instructed not to let anyone into the memorial hall, but the words never left his mouth. After all, whenever Mr. Valor gave an instruction, he would always make an exception for his wife! And if something really did happen between the two of them, then maybe everything would be fine once they talked it out, Mr. Knot optimistically thought to himself.Serenity hurried to the memorial hall. She saw Jackson in front of his father's portrait, standing as still as a statue.The soft light in the room fell on him, giving off an indescribable coldness."Jack..." Serenity softly called out, her voice dry and hoarse. Since she left the Valor Residence early this morning, she

She watched in a daze as his face loomed large in front of her, his lips lightly brushing against her cheek and landing near her ear.His voice reached her, saying, "Serenity, I will not forgive you."Her blood seemed to freeze in an instant, as if she had been thrown into an ice cellar.Seeing her friend's tired-looking face, Lisa couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? Did something happen?""I... I did something that hurt Jack," Serenity confessed wryly."You guys got into an argument?" Lisa asked.An argument? Serenity smiled bitterly. She wished it was just an argument. Right now, she didn't even know where Jack was.That day, after he declared that he would not forgive her in the memorial hall, he left the Valor Residence and didn't return home that night.She searched his office, the villa, and even the street where his father passed away, but there was no sign of him.When she asked Connor, he simply told her, "Mr. Valor would like some time alone. He doesn't wish to be

Obviously, the teacher did not want Fred to continue attending the kindergarten. Even though Fred gained admission to the kindergarten through the Valor family's connection, he was the child of a criminal and his mother committed suicide in prison, so his presence in the kindergarten negatively impacted the kindergarten's enrollment."I see no difference between what those kids said and Fred fighting back. I've never felt that it's wrong to fight back after getting insulted!" Serenity spoke frankly. "If you deem Fred unsuitable to remain here, then I'll make arrangements to transfer all three children to another kindergarten. Surely, I’ll be able to find a suitable kindergarten for them in Solaria!"After saying that, Serenity got down, her gaze level with the boy whose face was covered in bruises. "I know it must hurt. I'll take you to a doctor, okay? Don't worry, you'll heal in no time."Fred gazed at Serenity, his beautiful eyes widening in obvious shock. Apparently, he didn't ex

"My mother tried to hurt your mother and your brother. Maybe, one day, I might try to hurt you too," Fred said, with a rare expression of self-doubt on his face. In front of other people, no matter how harshly he was bullied, he never showed any sense of inferiority. He would only feel inferior in front of her."Why would you hurt me?" Jacqueline blinked innocently.Their eyes met. She was like a pampered little princess, free of worries. He should be hating her for making him stay in the worst place possible for him, and for treating him like a mere toy.But he couldn't bring himself to dislike her. In fact, he wanted to stay with her."They say my mother hurt your family, so I'll definitely hurt you too one day," he explained. The children in kindergarten were not the only ones who said this. The servants in the Valor family frequently whispered it behind closed doors too."You're not gonna hurt me!" Jacqueline vehemently refuted without hesitation."How can you be so sure?" He

Connor, of course, knew that Mr. Valor was still angry with Serenity. For the past few days, Mr. Valor had been working from the mansion and hadn't gone to the company. But it didn't prevent the people in the company from feeling like they were walking on thin ice.In just a few days’ time, three high-level executives had been fired. Who knew how many more would be laid off if Mr. Valor remained angry.Many people had come to Connor in the last few days, asking him about the sudden layoffs. What was he supposed to tell them? Never in a million years would he dare to say that it was because Mr. Valor was fighting with his wife!Fortunately, Serenity had finally found them. The only person who could anger Mr. Valor to this extent was Serenity, and she's also the only person who could calm him down!Connor quickly went to the pond. Jackson was currently standing by the pond, quietly watching the carefully-cultivated lotuses.It wasn't the season for lotus flowers to bloom, yet the on
