Standing among the crowd not far away, Weston Stanton looked on with amused curiosity. He twirled the wine glass in his fingers, a small smile appearing on his face. Things in Lanford were becoming lively!-Coming out of the party, Lucas spoke to Serenity. "Where do you live now? I'll take you home.""No need," Serenity refused. "I don't want to risk getting photographed in your car. It'll cause unnecessary gossip again.""Afraid Jackson will misunderstand?" Lucas said, his gaze intent. Serenity met his gaze and answered softly, "Yeah." Her answer was very natural, so blunt and honest. Jealousy quietly struck Lucas. He told himself countless times that he had lost his right to be jealous of Jackson. He had missed his only chance to be with Serenity, and he had never seized the opportunity."If he truly loves you and believes in you, he won't misunderstand anything," Lucas murmured."It doesn't matter. I just don't want to do something that'll cause him to get the wrong idea,

Wilson's whole body went stiff. After an initial stiffness, he gazed up at Serenity with a thoughtful smile. "Why don't you ask Jackson? After all, he's gone through hypnosis too, right?""It's not like Clara doesn't have any feelings for you. I don't know what's on your mind, but I hope you don't hurt her. She's gone through enough," Serenity murmured.Wilson's smile grew sarcastic. "Serenity, you've got it all wrong. She was the one who hurt me. She doesn't care the slightest about me, and she's the one who insists on separating. Now you're asking me not to hurt her?""She doesn't want to hurt you! She just wants to protect you!" Serenity blurted out without thinking.Wilson's eyes mocked Serenity as he listened to what she said. "Protect me? Do I need her to protect me? What makes her think she can protect me? Serenity, aren't you a lawyer? When did you start talking nonsense?"Feeling helpless, Serenity shut her mouth and stopped talking. Wilson had misunderstood Clara too muc

"Even if it's not, I'll make it happen," Lucas said. In other words, what he just told Yelena was no coincidence."You knew? That I'm approaching Yelena for Summer?""I found out with a little research," Lucas explained. "You came here with Clara, and you've been to the psychiatric hospital to visit Summer. I guessed you were probably here for Summer. Are you approaching Yelena to figure out what happened back then?""Well, yeah," Serenity admitted frankly. "We're trying to figure out the Gerhold family's role in this. Everyone says that Summer went mad because of Nathan's death, but if Summer's true love was Harry, it doesn't make sense for Summer to go insane over Nathan's death."Lucas scowled. "Are you suspecting that Summer isn't mentally ill? She's a normal person who was wrongfully admitted to a psychiatric hospital?" Serenity nodded. "Does sound like it, doesn't it? Besides, Joyce has the biggest benefit of sending Summer to the psychiatric hospital. After her marriage to

North's eyes darkened and narrowed dangerously at Serenity.Just then, Lucas' voice rang in the room. "Mr. Gerhold, Serenity is my friend. If you harm her, I'll make your family's life in Lanford difficult," he warned. North turned to Lucas. "Mr. Gomez, you're very nice to your friend, but is it worth turning against the Gerhold family for a friend?""I owe my life to her. What do you think?" Lucas simply said.After North and Yelena left, Serenity told Lucas, "You didn't have to do this. Why turn the Gerhold family against…""Serenity," Lucas interrupted her, "I know you've never had feelings for me. I won't ask for anything more, but it's up to me to decide what I want to do."Unable to say anything, Serenity got up and said goodbye.Lucas did not offer to see her off, but when Serenity took a taxi back to the hotel, Lucas followed in the car behind. The taxi arrived at the hotel, and Serenity was surprised to see a familiar figure as soon as she got out of the car.Jack!

Serenity was glad that Jackson had learned to trust her—that she truly loved him. At least there was some progress in their relationship.A smile formed on Serenity's lips as she thought of this. "Maybe I'll sympathize with Lucas, but I don't feel sorry for him. As a friend, I hope he'll find his other half soon, and…"With a slight pause, Serenity stood on her tiptoes and pressed a gentle kiss on his lips. "Jack, I won't leave you again. You're stuck with me for life."Serenity had told him this countless times, but she would always tell him the same thing over and over again. Seeing the emotions flowing in those beautiful eyes, she pushed him toward the couch, making the room spin around him.Jackson fell on the couch with her right on top of him. He saw her grin, her eyes twinkling with playful mischief. Then, he heard her say, "What's wrong? You don't believe me?""I do," he rasped. Ever since he realized she would sacrifice her life to save him, he knew she truly loved him,
