"No, I wouldn't dare!" Connor said, "I hope Mr. Valor won't misunderstand Mrs. Valor after knowing the truth. Her feelings for you are true. Maybe what she did this time was just because of an impulse."Jackson snorted in response. "Her feelings for me are true? Am I really the most important to her? If she's willing to give up her life for me, then why would she betray me for that woman? My mother abandoned her husband and son."Connor kept his mouth shut, knowing his words would only anger Mr. Valor further!Right when Jackson was almost done with his work, a quiet knock sounded at the door. Connor breathed a sigh of relief as someone opened the door, figuring it was Serenity.Serenity came in and sat on the sofa in the corner. She stayed silent, like she did for the past few days, just watching Jackson. Jackson gave Serenity a quick glance as she came in, his mind suddenly calmed by her presence. After giving Connor a few more orders, Jackson finally dismissed him. "That's

"Did she tell you who she met?" Serenity asked, furrowing her brows. Lisa's behavior seemed abnormal."No." Hersha said, "Do you think Lisa will be okay? She was recently discharged from the hospital and is still not feeling well.""Don't worry. I'll see what I can do and try to get in touch with Lisa. Call you back later," Serenity said, ending the call with Hersha. After the call disconnected, Serenity gave it a thought and made a phone call. She got someone to obtain the surveillance footage from the maternity hospital to find out which friend Lisa had left with.Although Jackson was upset with her, he did not remove the men assigned to help her, so Serenity could use her status as Mrs. Valor to get these men to work for her.Serenity considered calling the police, but the police would reject the case unless an adult had been missing for more than twenty-four hours. Besides, Lisa had called Hersha to explain why she was gone.The men Jackson previously assigned to Serenity we

Jackson should have known, but he was careless and let his guard down. Monica did it to Lisa once, which meant she would probably do it again. Knowing how much Serenity cared about Lisa, this was prone to happen again. But Jackson got too angry the last time because Serenity had helped Mary and Edward escape Solaria right after Monica hurt Lisa. Rage overtook him, so much that he forgot all about the threat Monica posed to Serenity.Serenity! Jackson's breathing quickened, his face darkening with fury. He could not allow anything to happen to her. If she were to get hurt again…! He thought he could learn to love her less, but nothing else mattered more than her safety.- Serenity finally met Lisa, as she wished, only to realize why her best friend had willingly gotten into the car. Monica had threatened Lisa with Hersha and told her, "If you don't come with me, I can't guarantee what will happen to your mother in the restroom. If you try to resist or shout to attract attention, I

Monica suddenly burst into maniacal laughter and looked at Lisa like she was an idiot."Why did Terry fall in love with a fool like you? Do you know why I'm holding on to you? Because you're Terry's priority. You're the most important thing to him, so I think using you to get back at him is a good plan.""I'd like to see the expression on Terry's face especially when he finds out that you and the baby in your belly died at my hands," Monica said, and her expression manically twisted into a scowl.A chill ran down Lisa's spine as she realized Monica was serious about wanting her dead! Also, Monica had said she was Terry's priority. What did Monica mean by that? "I'm the most important thing to him? What do you mean by that?!" Monica huffed at Lisa, looking at her like she was so blind and ridiculous. "Did you really think Terry broke up with you for the White family?" Monica had thought so before, but she later understood that Terry's motive had been Lisa all along."Isn't that so

The man hit Serenity repeatedly with his fist, but Serenity refused to move. She protected her best friend in her arms, not letting the man hit Lisa's belly!Serenity had no idea how many punches she had taken. She kept telling herself to hold on. Jack would come for her. He would save her—although still mad at her—he would always come to her rescue whenever she was in danger!Just hold on a little longer, just a little longer… Serenity whispered in her mind, but her consciousness was beginning to blur because of the pain and discomfort. The pain made her feel terribly faint, and she almost passed out several times.All of a sudden, the man stopped hitting her. She could hear the sound of the wind and another sound that should not have been there—it sounded like helicopter wings turning! Serenity glanced up weakly, looking at the sky in disbelief. Five helicopters were hovering in the air, surrounding the roof of the building.Serenity stared blankly at the helicopters and sudden
