When Lynette saw Serenity in the purple gown, her eyes were filled with envy.She once asked for a purple dress from Lucas' collection, but he refused to give it to her. Instead, he sent her to a boutique to buy a new one.When she chose a purple dress, Lucas commented that it didn't match her skin tone. In the end, she bought a beige dress instead.But now, Serenity was wearing a purple dress. It was like a slap to Lynette's face."Lucas is merely wondering why you two are here together, Serenity. Didn't you two split up?" Lynette pretended to show concern for Serenity. "Was there a misunderstanding?

Jackson and Serenity were back together again. Why did that upset Lucas so much?When Jackson hugged Serenity earlier, Lucas felt so jealous that he wanted to pull them apart...Suddenly, Lucas heard a voice asking, "What's gotten into you just now?" He looked up and saw that it was his childhood friend, Caleb Moss. "You're here too," Lucas said. "Yeah. When I saw you and Jackson earlier, I wanted to come over and say hi, but I quickly realized that the mood here was weird," Caleb said. Therefore, he sneaked away, afraid he might make things worse by showing up. He observed them from afar.When he saw Lucas grabbing Serenity's hand, he was prepared to rush over because he was afraid that a fight might break out. However, nothing happened, so he waited until now to come over to greet Lucas. "You know how much Jackson cares about Serenity Lewis. Don't you remember how mad he got the last time? He looked like he was ready to kill someone. Why would you jump into this mess?" a

Serenity was speechless. They had just met back then. He was kind, attentive, and unconcerned that she had been in jail before. She really thought he was a good guy... but in reality, he was manipulative, scheming, and ruthless. His hands were stained with blood... He was not a good guy at all."If I get Peter involved, what will you do?" he asked, testing her. She stared at him, her eyes determined and resolute. "Don't you dare hurt Peter, or I'll never forgive you," she warned him.She knew her only bargaining tool was herself.His expression darkened. "Look at what you would do for him! You still deny that you care about him?!"Did she care about Peter? Serenity asked herself that honestly. She knew she had no special feelings for Peter. Perhaps she wished to see him safe because he was plain and honest.The more of humanity’s dark side she faced and saw, the more she treasured that kind of plainness and honesty. "I don't want bad things to happen to anyone because of me. I
