So, Aria's backer behind the scenes was Lucas, huh?"Fine. I'll send you a copy of the receipts for the medicines I buy and the proof of the loss of wages or whatever. Please take care of the payment." Serenity said before turning to Lucas. "Mr. Gomez, thank you for today. I'll take my leave now."After saying that, Serenity left the lounge, leaving Lucas and Aria behind.Lucas stared coldly at Aria, which caused her heart to race.Aria forced a smile and said, "Lucas, why are you looking at me like that? By the way... About my sister... Have you met her before?""What, are you trying to dig for information?" Lucas shot back instead of answering."I... was just curious. My sister never mentioned it," she said."Of course. Your sister lives in a rundown and small rented house, working as a street sweeper, and now, she's just an extra. For the sake of 330 dollars, she kept kneeling and bowing to her own sister. I do wonder why she never mentioned it to you?" Lucas said in an unusu

Even though tonight's banquet had some top-tier celebrities in attendance, Jackson was in no way inferior to those A-list actors. In fact, his presence was even more captivating. Despite possessing a beautiful face, it was his enchanting eyes, known in the journalist circle for their alluring charm, that truly stole the show. It was indescribably enchanting when he gazed at someone with those alluring eyes with a twinkle in them, accompanied by a faint hint of a smile on his lips. Regardless of gender, anyone would be drawn to him.However, when those eyes turned cold, they exuded an inexplicable sense of pressure.At this moment, Jackson had his eyes partially closed, surrounded by his bodyguards and the venue's security personnel. His lean and well-tailored black suit accentuated his slender and proportionate figure, exuding a sense of elegance from head to toe.Jackson had always been known for his impeccable fashion sense, and this was a consensus in the journalist circle. H

Caleb was joking when he made the remark. He had grown accustomed to his friend changing girlfriends, and it would be a real surprise if Lucas went a prolonged period without doing so. But if Lucas were to replace his current little star, it would be the shortest relationship he had ever had."Well, I suppose you could say that," Lucas calmly replied, his gaze still locked with Jackson's.Caleb didn't think much of it, but suddenly, Jackson's face darkened, and even the air around them seemed to grow cold and heavy."Hey, Jackson, what's wrong? Why the serious face?" Caleb asked, puzzled by the inexplicable and eerie atmosphere.Jackson ignored Caleb. His inky dark eyes were fixed on Lucas, and the corner of his lips quirked up."That extra, was she your girlfriend's sister?""Yes. Quite a coincidence, isn't it?" Lucas said.Jackson's smile grew wider, but his eyes remained icy cold. "Yes, what a coincidence indeed."After uttering those words, he turned around and walked towar

There were even speculations that Jackson Valor had an argument with someone at the banquet and left in anger. There were also speculations that Jackson Valor was annoyed at being pestered by all the female socialites there, so he left early.In short, there were all kinds of speculations.Serenity read all this like she was reading normal gossip. She also wondered what made Jackson leave so suddenly.There was a knock on the door. Serenity got up to open it and, upon seeing the person standing outside, almost choked."*Cough*... *cough*..." She coughed, her face turning red.Who would have thought that the person whose whereabouts the netizens had been discussing the whole day would suddenly appear outside her door?Jackson frowned and patted Serenity's back to help her get her breath back. "Why are you coughing so hard? Did you catch a cold?"She shook her head and kept coughing. No, she did not catch a cold; she choked because she was shocked at his sudden appearance.When S

"Are you saying that I scare you?" he asked.She hesitated slightly before replying, "I know that you're just treating me as an object in a game. You still maintain interest in me because the novelty hasn't worn off, but once your interest fades, I'll become worthless to you. If I accidentally piss you off, I might end up getting tormented again like I did back in prison."She never wanted to go through that kind of miserable experience again!"Surely saying all these things to me wouldn't piss me off, right?" he questioned.Her body stiffened. Of course she was afraid that it would, but she still chose to say them.Her reaction told him everything he needed to know.Silence enclosed around them. It was a scary silence.Serenity lowered her head. The only thing she could hear right now was her own breathing and heartbeat. Jackson did not say anything, but she could feel his eyes on her.She had no idea how much time had passed when she finally heard him say, "What if I tell you
